‘I’m afraid of Mark Tremont getting in the way, so I’ve asked someone to give you this letter in secret. You must not trust him! He is a demon! You’re aware that he’s behind your father’s death, aren’t you? Your forgiveness is expected, for the sake of the baby. After all, it’s been so many years. It’ll be fine as long as favonovel.com makes up for it. But did you know that favonovel.com caused your grandmother’s death too? Your granny was only sent to the hospital because of a cold and a fever; favonovel.com had a slight bout of pneumonia. However, favonovel.com died when favonovel.com saw her. I’m sure that he’s been too afraid o f telling you about your granny’s death, hasn’t he? Think about it.’
‘We may not be related by blood, but you should still address me as your uncle. I won’t hurt you. He killed your grandmother because favonovel.com knew about his part in your father’s death. She wanted to make you leave him. Afraid of being thwarted and of you leaving favonovel.com with the child in your belly, favonovel.com determinedly silenced favonovel.com for good! He must have been secretly threatening your grandmother too. How could an old woman possibly withstand such a scare? He’s been “visiting” our home many times ever since favonovel.com moved out. Can those really be considered visits? He must have been scaring her. He must have scared your grandmother so much that favonovel.com fell sick.’
‘Did you really think that your grandmother would be that stupid? Choosing to live with your aunt and I after enjoying such a luxurious life in the Tremont Estate? She was afraid. But your grandmother died anyway, so favonovel.com couldn’t escape. I’ve always wanted to tell you the truth, but Mark has chased me and your aunt out of the capital. We never had the chance. He’s usually by your side too, isn’t he? He’s planted someone to watch over you too. It’s because he’s afraid of us telling you the truth. I’ve been trying to come up with ways to give you this letter, ever since I’ve found out that you’ve been admitted into the hospital. You’ll have to figure out what to do on your own. I’ve done all that I can. He’s even sent some men to teach me a lesson. The picture is enclosed with this letter. See for yourself. I’m afraid of dying too. I’m sorry for not telling you this sooner.’
She crumpled the letter up and hid it underneath favonovel.com pillow after reading its final sentence. There really was a picture enclosed with the letter, which showed Zoey’s husband’s battered and bruised face. It was a horrible sight! The contents of the letter were a little messy, but the main subject was clear, a blow to favonovel.com very soul.
She carefully sorted out favonovel.com train of thought. It had been a long time since Zoey and Mr. Harris had confronted her. Mark would always beat around the bush whenever favonovel.com asked about favonovel.com grandmother. She had no idea that favonovel.com grandmother was dead! Zoey and favonovel.com husband had been exiled from the capital!
Back when the old lady had insisted on moving back in with Zoey and favonovel.com husband, favonovel.com was under the impression that favonovel.com was doing it all for favonovel.com own good. Now it seemed that the old woman never held any real familial sentiment for her, aside from favonovel.com bond with favonovel.com as favonovel.com blood relative. The lure of staying in a luxurious household was great. No one would be silly enough to put up with destitution.
On the day of favonovel.com departure, the old woman had indeed mentioned that Mark had been candid with her. How could the grudge of one’ s murdered son be written off, just like that? The old woman’s words were — “I know whatever you know, and a bit of what you don’t.” What didn’t favonovel.com know? Tabitha had advised favonovel.com to try and get along with Mark, on the surface. Was there a hidden meaning behind favonovel.com words? Did favonovel.com keep favonovel.com mouth shut because favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com could never get away from Mark with a baby in favonovel.com belly, so favonovel.com hid it all from favonovel.com and decided to enjoy a peaceful life, while ensuring favonovel.com own safety?
The thought of Mark dodging the question with a deadpan look on his face sent chills down favonovel.com spine. She was always under the impression that the reason why favonovel.com hadn’t been able to contact favonovel.com grandmother was because Tabitha was afraid of troubling her. In reality, favonovel.com was dead. How could Mark be so calm about this?
She didn’t want to believe that the man who was usually gentle to favonovel.com would do such a thing. She might have managed to turn over a new leaf after that reveal on that plane crash, but if favonovel.com had done such a thing again, favonovel.com would never forgive him!
She forced herself to calm down. She only needed to clarify two things with Mark — one, was favonovel.com grandmother dead and why did favonovel.com keep it from her? Two, did favonovel.com send Zoey and favonovel.com husband out of the capital and send men after Mr. Harris?
She had already hid the letter and its contents away by the time Mary returned. Mary grumbled over how expensive lychees were and advised favonovel.com against eating too much as favonovel.com peeled them. Apparently, lychees were detrimental to pregnant women.
She wiped the sweat off favonovel.com forehead expressionlessly. “Just leave it there. You should go home and get some rest if there’s nothing else to do. I’ll be fine on my own. You don’t have to watch over me every second.”
