Chapter 170
“She’s spent three years indulging herself,then got abandoned. When she found out I had inherited the Whitlock Family and become a man no one could reach–she got an idea. She wanted to come back and resume being Mrs. Whitlock.”
Jason’s voice was icy to the extreme,yet a cruel smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “Do you know how she did it?She hired an actor to play along,to stage the whole story. She lied,claiming she left three years ago because of illness and that after meeting that man,they supported each other. She couldn’t resist wanting to marry him,only to be heartlessly cast aside!”
He clenched his fists,knuckles white. “She called me crying,begging for help. Saying things like I’m really suffering‘… ‘I had no choice.’Haha!“&
That cold laugh was soaked with blood and hatred.”
Ethan’s heart tightened sharply.“So…all those times she claimed to have cancer…“%
“Completely fabricated!“Jason ground his teeth,his voice seething with rage. “She bribed the hospital, falsified the medical records. Anyone who looked at such a clumsy lie carefully wouldn’t be fooled for even a day. But you?You believed her. Because of your bias,you never bothered to check. Just a single tear from her and you let go of all doubt. And the result? You were deceived for three whole years…and…caused Callista’s death.“”
At the last four words,his voice trembled violently, almost unable to continue.”
The brothers’faces went pale in an instant.”
Countless memories flashed through Simon’s mind:Fiona crying in their arms, saying, “Callista bullied me again“;Fiona stubbornly saying,”It’s okay, I’ll endure it“,their own righteous anger as they scolded Callista…”
But now,all of it felt like a knife,plunged mercilessly into their chests.”
“We…“Ethan’s voice was hoarse,eyes bloodshot,“We….we’ve been helping her bully Callista all this time?“!
Jason’s eyes were blood–red,lips tightly pressed,silent.”
The air was so still that one could hear a pin drop.”
Simon pressed his hands hard against his face,palms cold and damp. Regret churned violently in his heart,yet his reason refused to accept it.”
“Maybe…maybe Fiona was just spoiled. “He murmured weakly,his voice frail, “She’s been coddled since she was little,spoiled and willful… These past few years outside,she took the wrong path. She…she never intended to harm Callista.“}
Ethan clung to this last lifeline,desperately echoing, “Yes…maybe Fiona was just spoiled. To say she bribed the hospital,staged everything to deceive us…that can’t be true,right?How could she do something so cruel?She’s still the sister we’ve watched grow up with…”
Their voices trembled,as if they were trying to convince even themselves.
Yet they still tried to find an excuse. They wanted to leave Fiona with a final shred of dignity.@ Otherwise, the two brothers would truly become the ones who drove their own sister to death.”
Jason watched them coldly,his chest heaving with violent,ragged breaths. The pain in his eyes ran deeper than theirs. He was not only the fool deceived for three years, but also the man abandoned back then,now treated as the“placeholder husband.“”
To him,all of this cut deeper than any blade.
But even in their pain,Simon and Ethan clung desperately to the last thread of hope. They still refused to admit that they had once pushed their true sister into the abyss with their own hands.
Seeing the brothers still stubbornly blind,the coldness in Jason’s eyes finally sharpened into a blade.
His voice was low and hoarse,carrying an unmistakable,ruthless edge. “You’ve always said that ever since high school,Callista was the one bullying Fiona. If you don’t believe me, then bring her so–called friends here. Face to face. Let’s see,who’s really lying.”
