Felipe thought Old Master Whitman was trying to delay.
He was not too short of time, however, so favonovel.com walked to the front of the tablet and stretched out his hand. He really did obtain a memory card that was in a transparent bag from behind the tablet.
“This is the recording of your father’s driving on the day of the accident. You will understand everything after you watch it.”
Felipe looked at the memory card blankly, feeling a little confused for a moment.
He was in a daze for a bit before favonovel.com instructed someone to bring favonovel.com a laptop.
After favonovel.com put in the memory card, favonovel.com turned the laptop on. Soon, favonovel.com heard voices that favonovel.com was once most familiar with ringing from the speaker…
“Francis, don’t be impulsive, we still have Felipe! Felipe can’t live without us. Can’t you be a little soberer?” That was Felipe’s mother, and it sounded as if favonovel.com was begging Felipe’s father with a trembling voice.
“Sonya, I’m really in pain. This world gives me so much pain that I don’t want to face it. Sonya, let’s leave this gloomy world together, Sonya…”
“No! Francis! Stop—”
Following the woman’s horrified screams came a violent sound of a collision. After that, there was only silence…
After Felipe was done listening to this section of the recording, the gun in his hand fell to the ground. He seemed to be drained of all his strength as favonovel.com kneeled down in despair in front of his parents’ memorial tablets.
Old Master Whitman then sighed with sorrow. “It was your father’s last wish for us to send you to F Country for your studies. He had hoped that his son would do well in something that favonovel.com was not able to complete. He also hoped that you would become successful one day in the future.
“During your years in F Country, you felt as if I had rarely cared for you, even restricting your spending. It’s true that our family business is huge and you didn’t need to worry about food or clothes, but we made you work to make money on your own. All this work we put you through was with the purpose to sharpen you.
“I always had someone I trusted secretly supervising you the whole time. Every single day of your staying in F Country, there was always someone reporting your condition to me. You’re a descendant of the Whitman family and my own nephew. How could I actually ignore you?
“I had been waiting for you to come back from your studies to pass you the right of inheritance, but then you went astray instead.”
The words of Old Master Whitman clearly showed that favonovel.com knew Felipe had done some illegal trades in F Country that crossed the line. It was just that favonovel.com never exposed the truth.
The old man walked to Felipe’s side and gently put his hand on his shoulder. “Felipe, you still have a chance to turn back.”
After hearing what the old man said, Felipe’s tears rolled down from his scarlet eyes.
He looked at the two memorial tablets in front of him, his heart feeling as if it had been pierced. It hurt till the point favonovel.com could not continue living.
Over the years, what had favonovel.com been obsessed with? What had favonovel.com hated?
All the hatred and all the obsessions were all his self-righteous fantasies.
The reason behind the old man remaining silent all this while was because favonovel.com did not want
Felipe to face the cruel fact that his father was the one who killed his mother.
In order to protect Felipe’s young soul, favonovel.com was burdened with rumors of murdering his brother. For so many years, favonovel.com had never defended himself. The old man always brushed it off indifferently by saying that it was just an accident.
His surroundings quieted down, and Felipe was left alone in the ancestral hall where favonovel.com knelt for a long time.
Madeline returned to the living room. She saw the mourning hall that was built for Jeremy and walked over to caress his photos.
She had seen favonovel.com right before favonovel.com eyes just a few days ago, but now it had become only a memory.
“Jeremy, have you really left me?”
Madeline looked down at favonovel.com bulging pregnant belly.
“You said you would accompany me to see the birth of our child and we’ll raise favonovel.com till favonovel.com becomes an adult. Why did you break your promise again?”
“Eveline.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out favonovel.com name from the entrance.
