Footsteps Toward New Beginnings By Ryan Carter 11 Summary
In this chapter, Kenneth discovers the truth about the night that led to the tragic events involving Alice and Christina. Contrary to what he initially believed, the report reveals that Alice had drugged his drink, manipulating the situation to frame him. The Schirmer family, having fallen on hard times, and Alice’s poor reputation among the Oakland elite, led her to target Kenneth. Surveillance footage from the operating room shows Alice pouring bags of blood into the sink in front of Christina, and a restored video reveals that Alice herself was responsible for throwing the child from upstairs. Additionally, a DNA test confirms that Christian is not Kenneth’s biological child.
Kenneth is overwhelmed with humiliation and anger, feeling betrayed and foolish for having been manipulated by Alice while unintentionally hurting his loving wife, Christina. Despite his fury, Alice continues to contact him relentlessly, unaware that Kenneth has uncovered her deceit. Kenneth has been avoiding home, staying at the company for two days to process the shocking revelations.
When Kenneth finally returns home, Alice confronts him with sorrow and desperation, accusing him of falling for Christina’s manipulations and questioning his love for her. She expresses her willingness to leave if he chooses Christina over her. Kenneth responds coldly, reminding Alice of her previous acceptance of his situation and confronting her about her attempt to force him to divorce Christina. Alice admits her deepening love and jealousy, claiming Kenneth is happiest with her, not Christina.
Kenneth laughs bitterly and challenges Alice’s belief that she could ever replace Christina in his heart. When Alice asks what he means, Kenneth throws the incriminating documents at her, causing her to scream in pain. Upon seeing the evidence, Alice’s face turns pale, signaling the devastating impact of the truth on her.

“Kenny, is it because the baby is gone that you don’t love me anymore? You haven’t come home for two days do you know how much I miss you?”
Kenneth let out a cold laugh. “I’m coming back right now.‘
He rushed home at top speed.
As soon as he opened the door, Alice, dressed in silk pajamas and wearing a face mask, ran up and wrapped her arms around Kenneth’s neck.
Her face was full of sorrow. “Kenny, have you been with Ms. Martell these past few days? Did you fall for her manipulations? Or do you just not love me anymore?”
“If you end up choosing Ms. Martell in the end… I’m willing to leave.”
As she spoke, she let go of Kenneth’s hand and walked toward the stairs.
Seeing that Kenneth still made no move to stop her, she grew anxious.
“Kenny, what does your silence mean? Does it mean that all the promises you made to me over the past year were lies, that you were just playing with me?”
Kenneth replied coolly, “Weren’t you the one who said before that as long as I kept you by my side, you could accept any status? So what, now you’re trying to force me to divorce Christina?” Alice was stunned for a moment, then hurried to explain. “I used to think I could accept all of this. But the more I love you, the deeper I fall, and I can’t help myself. I don’t want to share with another woman! Kenny, aren’t you the same? You clearly feel nothing when you’re with Christina, but you’re happiest when you’re with me!”
