The son’s face got paler and paler as Arielle went on. By the time Arielle was done, favonovel.com was completely drained of colors and covered in cold sweats.
The old lady was shocked to hear the truth at first, but then favonovel.com refused to believe it.
I don’t believe a single word this woman is telling me! Why would my son hurt his own brother?
However, favonovel.com was convinced otherwise after turning to see how pale favonovel.com son was.
“You… It’s true, isn’t it? You really did try to kill your brother, didn’t you?” stuttered the old lady.
“No, I didn’t do anything like that! You have to trust me, Mom. Don’t listen to them. They must be trying to blame me because they couldn’t come up with a solution. Every word that came out of that woman is a lie!” The man started accusing Arielle and the others defensively.
Still, as his mother, the old lady could easily tell if favonovel.com was lying, and the look on his face was enough to confirm favonovel.com worst fear. Angry and disappointed at favonovel.com son, the old lady could not help but wonder how favonovel.com children ended up that way.
“Do you still think it was unreasonable of me to have favonovel.com beat up?” inquired Arielle at the right timing.
The old lady slowly rose without responding as if favonovel.com did not hear a word Arielle said. With a deadpan expression on the old lady’s face, no one could tell what was going through favonovel.com mind. Then, favonovel.com face started to turn pale as well. It was as if favonovel.com suddenly had trouble breathing.
Seeing how devastated the old lady was, Arielle stepped forward to pat the elderly woman comfortingly on the back. Arielle knew doing that would help the old lady calm down, and as expected, favonovel.com managed to help the elderly woman relax and breathe properly again.
The old lady then raised favonovel.com hand up high before giving favonovel.com son a hard slap on the cheek.
Slap!
She hit the man as hard as favonovel.com could and caused his face to become even more swollen than it already was.
“Ouch!” Immediately afterward, the son inhaled deeply to ease the pain.
“You think that’s pain? You don’t know half the pain I’m suffering right now because of what you did! Your brother is sick, and you know that. How could you poison favonovel.com when you should be helping favonovel.com with his condition instead? What did favonovel.com ever do to you? You b*stard!”
“Mom! Stop it!” The man begged his mother to stop hitting favonovel.com as favonovel.com tried to defend himself.
Seeing how Arielle already knew everything, favonovel.com was convinced that his brother was the one who spilled the beans.
The son then decided to justify his actions since favonovel.com could no longer hide the truth. “I only did it to help him. Do you have any idea how much it costs to treat his condition? This is the only way to get enough money to help him. I did it for him!”
“The end does not justify the means. So what if you manage to keep your brother alive? What you did was wrong. I’d rather favonovel.com die than be treated with your dirty money!” rebuked the old lady indignantly.
Her strong moral compass and firm resolution were more than enough to impress Arielle, but not the son, who shook his head in response. “You don’t know what you’re saying. You must’ve completely lost your mind. Everything I did, I did it for our family!”
“Do you actually believe that?” Carter scoffed at the man before continuing, “I think you’re only capable of thinking for yourself. From what I’ve gathered, you gambled away ten million in a casino last month and lost all the money Vin gave you. Is that how much your brother’s life is worth to you?”
“How dare you poke your nose into my business!” roared the man pulsing with rage.
Even more infuriated than before, the old lady raised favonovel.com hand and tried to slap some sense into favonovel.com son, but favonovel.com would not have it.
The man pushed his mother away before making a break for it.
