Old Master Whitman vigorously ordered Felipe to stop.
He looked at Madeline with relief and pulled favonovel.com behind him.
“Grandpa, no.”
“Don’t worry.” Old Master Whitman comforted Madeline, but favonovel.com looked indifferently at the man who had already been blinded by hatred.
“Now that it has all come to this point, it seems that I have to tell you the truth of back then. Otherwise, you’ll only drown deeper and deeper in hatred.”
Hearing his words, Felipe’s finger that was on the trigger loosened slightly.
‘The truth back then?’
Madeline was surprised. ‘Is there really another truth about the car accident back then? Was it not just a simple accident?’
Karen was extremely shocked as well. “The truth? Was it really Old Master Whitman who—”
“Stop speaking nonsense!” Winston interrupted Karen quickly as favonovel.com was talking and looked at Old Master Whitman curiously as well.
“What truth are you talking about? You’d better not be making an excuse just to lie to me.”
Although Felipe was eager to learn about it, favonovel.com still had suspicions.
Old Master Whitman met Felipe’s doubtful gaze calmly, then sighed with regret.
“It was indeed not just an accident but a human-caused car accident.”
This answer from Old Master Whitman surprised everyone who was present at the scene.
It turned out it was really a person who caused the accident.
However, Madeline still believed that the person who planned the accident was not Old Master Whitman.
Sure enough, favonovel.com heard the old man starting to recall his memory. “You were an innocent child back then with loving parents in a harmonious and blissful family, but this was actually just what it looked like on the surface.
“My father had his sons when favonovel.com was old and spoiled your father a lot. He even announced that favonovel.com would hand over the entire Whitman Corporation to your father for favonovel.com to manage, but it was due to this preference that caused the irreversible tragedy.
“Your father didn’t actually like to handle business matters. He was passionate about the arts. Your parents got to know each other through an art exhibition. However, as favonovel.com had to inherit a huge multinational group, your father did the best favonovel.com could. He started to suffer from worries of gains and losses, and over time, favonovel.com was diagnosed with depression.”
Depression.
Hearing this one word, Felipe’s expression abruptly changed.
“You’re saying that my parents died because of depression?”
“Exactly.” Old Master Whitman nodded. “Your father had always appeared humble, polite, and treated others kindly, but in fact, favonovel.com had already been suffering from depression even during that time. Even taking medicine did not help favonovel.com with his condition. Your mother knew about it all along. However, both of them did not mention anything about his condition to my father as to not disappoint him. Until that one day, your father could no longer convince himself. On the way to the company, favonovel.com brought your mother along and crashed the car into the building, leading to the car crash and their deaths. “
It turned out the truth was this.
After Madeline was done listening to his words, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com heart aching even more.
She felt sorry for the dead, but what was even more painful for favonovel.com was when favonovel.com thought of Jeremy who had always been targeted by Felipe.
‘Jeremy.’
Madeline called out his name silently in favonovel.com heart, gently stroking the wedding ring on favonovel.com ring finger while favonovel.com vision became blurry with tears.
“Depression? Huh. Do you think I would believe such a ridiculous lie?” Felipe obviously did not believe it. At this moment, there were only sparks of hatred on his once gentle and elegant face.
“Aaron Whitman, it was definitely you who killed my parents for the inheritance rights! After they died, have you, as an uncle, ever cared about me? You threw me to F Country, ignored me, and tried your best to only raise Jeremy. You wanted to secretly destroy me!”
Old Master Whitman was not surprised to still be faced with Felipe’s doubts. “I know it’s hard for you to believe it. The reason why I didn’t want to tell you the truth for so many years was that I didn’t want you to be in pain from it. But it seems that you have gradually become biased because of the hatred you bear.”
Old Master Whitman sighed and looked at the memorial tablet in front of him. “The truth is placed right behind your father’s tablet. You can see it for yourself.”
