hapter 180
Jason sat under the dim light,his expression sharp and cold,eyes filled with hatred. His chest heaved violently,fingers pale from gripping too tightly.
He hated his own past foolishness and blind trust,hated that he hadn’t seen the truth sooner,hated that he had watched that girl stand alone,helpless.
It was his fault.
He had failed to protect me.\
Now,all the feelings he held for Callista had nowhere to go,burning like a fierce fire within,scorching him through the night.
He even wished he could strangle Fiona right then and there,using her life to atone for Callista.
But he couldn’t. He knew that, even if his brothers harbored doubts,they would never allow him to act.
A flash of manic rage flickered in Jason’s eyes,but he forced it down. His voice was icy.“Since you still cling to illusions,let the truth slap you in the face.“\
Simon and Ethan exchanged a glance. Their hearts churned,reason struggling within them.”
What Jason said was exactly what they had been thinking. Indeed,almost all of their understanding had come from Fiona’s tearful claims.If they wanted to uncover the truth,the best way was to bring in all the so–called “witnesses “from back then.
A thought quietly formed in both of their hearts.
“Then we’ll use the excuse of holding a belated wedding to gather everyone from back then, “Simon said,his voice low and
serious.
“Mm,”Ethan nodded,his eyes sharp and cold.“At that time, we’ll ask them face to face and get the truth.“”
Just as his words fell,light footsteps came from upstairs.”
Fiona had woken up. She descended the stairs in a snow–white silk nightgown.”
Seeing Simon and Ethan,her eyes lit up. With a sweet smile and a soft,delicate voice,she said, “Simon, Ethan,you’ve come to see me?”
She walked lightly, as if completely unaware of the icy tension in the room,carrying a trace of youthful excitement. But when the two brothers saw her,their hearts clenched sharply.”
When had this striking,spoiled sister before them turned into someone they no longer recognized?!
Their throats tightened,a swirl of emotions churning inside,yet no comforting words could escape.§
Simon forced his voice,replying curtly,“Mm…just came by to take a look.“”
Ethan merely nodded faintly,saying nothing more.
The two brothers soon got up and left.”
The smile on Fiona’s face stiffened in the wind,so rigid it seemed almost ready to crack.
She watched their backs fade away,a pang of unease rising in her chest. But quickly,she pushed it down and turned to look for
Jason.”
“Jason, what were they talking to you about just now?“Her eyes carried a hint of probing curiosity and she leaned in with a coquettish,delicate tone.
Jason looked up.”
Those eyes,dark as ink,settled heavily on her,utterly devoid of warmth.N
Fiona felt a sudden shiver,her whole body turning cold.”
She didn’t understand why.!!
Why did this man’s gaze feel so unfamiliar that it sent a shiver of fear through her?”
The air froze for several seconds. Jason finally suppressed the raging hatred in his chest and said coldly,“Nothing.“&
His voice was heavy and icy,like a blade driven straight into the heart.
Fiona didn’t dare to ask further,but a flicker of displeasure stirred in her heart.\
She reached out,trying to tug at his arm with a coquettish gesture:“Jason,I can’t sleep tonight…I want to sleep with you.“N
Her voice was laced with charm and dependence. But Jason remained expressionless,coldly brushing her hand aside. “In a few days,the wedding will be held again. By then, you will get everything you’re supposed to have.“”
