Chapter 1420: Ruined
Grace looked at Brody, her face filled with confusion, and she asked, "What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning, in this world, no one is innocent, and no one deserves to die," Brody's words werenever as direct and clear, which caused Grace to feel devastated and upset.
The process was lengthy and lasted for a while, then Grace finally said softly, "No matter what yousay, you are sorry for Mom, there is no doubt about it, and you can't escape from it."
Grace looked at Brody with a cold and indifferent expression, making no effort to conceal herresentment towards him. Although both sides of the couple had their own reasons, Brody had trulydone something that hurt Page, and that couldn't be changed. Betrayal over so many years wasunacceptable to anyone.novelbin
Whenever Grace thought about the long-lasting relationship between Brody and Regina, coupledwith Page's goodness towards them, would they probably secretly ridicule Page as a fool?
Whenever she thought about these things, Grace felt even more uncomfortable inside.
Brody didn't show any excessive emotions in response to Grace's words. He had already done whathe did, so naturally, he didn't feel the slightest remorse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such athing. It was the most normal reaction and mindset of a person.
Their gazes met, and Grace said coldly, "From now on, I won't intervene in your affairs anymore. Asfor this time, whether you can escape from here or not, it will depend on your skills compared toAyan's. If you can defeat Ayan, then I'll let it go. I won't pursue it anymore. Consider it as if I neverhad a father like you, after all, you don't need a daughter like me. But if you can't defeat Ayan, thenyou must face the consequences."
After Grace finished speaking this time, she didn't say anything more. She just gave Brody a deeplook and then got up and left.
As for Brody, of course, he didn't bother to ask her to stop. He didn't want to face her or deal withher, so he intentionally manipulated the situation to break Grace's emotions.
After Grace left, Brody was left alone in the house. He had a stern face, lost in his thoughts. Thedensity in his eyes seemed to increase, to the point that it was no longer clear whether he wasintentionally disguising himself or deliberately using the disguise to hide his own turmoil.
Grace left the police station with Horace. After they got into the car, Grace's emotions finallyerupted.
She raised her hand and covered her face, feeling particularly awful.
With tightly pressed lips, she said, "Why is he like this? He clearly did something wrong, yet herefuses to admit it. What kind of person is he? Doesn't he even think it's his own fault? If he didn'tlike it from the beginning, why did he agree? Since he agreed, got together, and even had a child,shouldn't he take responsibility? Why did he betray? If he betrayed, he should have confessedearlier. Is sacrificing one's conscience for so-called benefits really worth it?"
Horace's face also darkened slightly. Actually, from his perspective, it wasn't appropriate to maketoo many comments. All he could do was to console Grace, "Not everyone is like that. If someonelacks a sense of responsibility from the beginning, then regardless of how it started, the end resultwill undoubtedly be the same."
Horace gently patted Grace's back, his voice soothing, "I know you're feeling terrible right now, butthe incident has already happened. So, we need to resolve it as quickly as possible. The forensicresults have already confirmed the presence of sedative drugs. The next step is to analyze whetherit was departure during sleep. If it was, then it's definitely not an accident. If it wasn't, then there
might be an accidental element. But what is the likelihood? It will take time, and you need to haveenough strength to face it."
Grace also nodded gently and said, "I understand what you mean. I'm fine now. There's nothingelse that's as unbearable as this. I've seen the dark side of human nature, so I'm fine now. I'm notafraid at all."
Horace gently held her hand and whispered, "The situation is only halfway through. It seems thatAyan has made some new discoveries. We'll talk to him in detail after we go home."
Grace nodded slightly, although she didn't really feel like it. But the matter had to be dealt with, soshe didn't respond much and went back to Horace's residence in Maple Grove with him.
She had stayed here for a while before, but last time it was just going up and down the stairs, whilethis time she was staying with Horace.
They had already lived together in China, so living together now didn't feel unfamiliar. In fact,because he was with her, Grace felt a little more secure.
Both of them took a shower and then lounged on the couch, chatting with Ayan about the newdevelopments.
During this time, Camille initially participated in a few sentences, but then remained silent, with Ayanbeing the one talking to both of them.
Camille had come out of her room because she received a call from Sienna.
Sienna didn't actually have anything important to discuss; she just wanted to gossip about theprogress of the situation and the current circumstances.
Camille, of course, didn't hide anything and told her the truth, including the situation involving Vere.Sienna was completely astonished when she heard it, her eyes wide open. It was absolutelyunbelievable.
Sienna said, "Doesn't this sound a bit like what happens on TV? So dramatic! No wonder Regina'sfirst impression of that guy was terrible. It turns out they had incompatible vibes!"
"What are your plans now? I suspect this woman has a dark mind. Maybe she destroyed everythingbecause she couldn't have what she wanted. As for your dad, I guess she thought he wasn'tpersistent enough, didn't fight for her, so she decided to destroy both of them."
"I don't think so," Camille said calmly.
"What do you think?"
"I actually think she had a child to bind this man to her, even if it meant taking risks."
"Are you saying your dad couldn't have children?"
"It's possible. After all, he's getting older, and he didn't pay much attention to his health because ofhis socializing and indulgence. So his physical condition may not be that good. Another reasoncould be that he's too selfish, which made Regina develop hatred towards him. That hatred wasenough to drive Regina to seek revenge and conceive these schemes."
Camille had already made countless assumptions and hypotheses, all of which seemed highlyprobable to her.
And the more she thought, the more confused she became, and the more agitated. Fortunately, shehad Ayan to guide her in a certain direction.
Otherwise, if she were alone, she would probably collapse.
