Chapter 1879
Equally shocked was Maisie.
Her palms turned ice-cold, and she was breaking out in cold sweat. She stared blankly at Whitney, her lips moving, but not a single sound was made.
She had many questions, but when the words reached her lips, she didn’t know what to ask.
“Child…” Whitney’s eyes welled up with tears. “You’ve suffered for so many years… It’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t been so ruthless back then, if I could’ve helped your mother sooner, Anya wouldn’t have…”
“Aunt Whitney, please don’t say that.” Daniel stepped forward, gently patting Whitney’s shoulder.
Everyone remained silent except for Wilfred, who emitted a low, mournful growl.
“How could… How could this be?!”
He suddenly rushed to Whitney and fixed his eyes intensely on her. “Explain this! What’s going on?”
He grasped Whitney’s shoulders and shook her, becoming hysterical. “Tell me what’s going on!”
Daniel grabbed his wrist and pushed him aside. Zuko and Chris also stepped forward. Wilfred was no match against these two young and strong men.
Wilfred looked at Maisie, and tears streamed uncontrollably as he could not help shaking.
“I just want to know the truth… I beg you, tell me the truth!”
“The truth is something you shouldn’t ask us about.” Whitney’s voice remained steady, her words clear. “You should ask your dear Mrs. Newhouse. How many secrets has she hidden from you in these 20- odd years?”
“Shut up!” Suddenly, someone barged into the meeting room.
Delilah rushed in, panting heavily, her hair slightly disheveled. She looked furious, glaring at Whitney and quickly rushing to Wilfred’s side. “Honey, you can’t believe her!”
Wilfred stood like a statue, making no response.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“Honey!” Delilah grabbed his arm, and her voice choked up. “Harvey is dead… It happened while he was with Toph Hamerton! Even if he isn’t your biological son, he called you ‘dad’ for so many years. You have to seek justice for him!”
“Delilah!” Whitney glared at her. “Don’t switch the topic! Have you ever thought about why Harvey died?”
“It’s because of the sin you committed!” Zuko and Chris stepped up simultaneously, coldly staring at her. “You switched someone’s child, and this swapped child caused Harvey’s demise! It’s retribution!”
“You…” Delilah widened her eyes and choked on her breath. She backed away until she reached the wall.
Wilfred slowly looked up.
Delilah’s heart skipped a beat. Wilfred usually looked coldly at her, but within that icy gaze today, there was a cloud of intense hatred—a menacing hostility, as if he wanted to tear her apart! Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Chills ran down Delilah’s spine. She shuddered as she tried to argue, “No… It’s not me. I don’t know what’s going on!
“Whitney, you’re spreading lies!” Delilah’s words were incoherent. “Honey, you have to believe me! She… She has no evidence. How can you believe her nonsense? Anya was her protege. Naturally, she’d speak in favor of Anya! For so many years, this old lady has been delusional. She’s beyond help —”
“Delilah!” Wilfred’s cold words interrupted her loud cries. “I’ll ask you one thing now. What happened to Anya?”
“I…”
