Atst, Bethany had broken downpletely. She slumped on the floor and began to cry hysterically. "It... It was me..." Everyone was speechless.
Gregory waspletely dumbfounded. He said in disbelief, "What did you say... Repeat that again!"All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
"The report... Shannon gave it to me, then I gave it to Zoe... This was how it got out..." Bethany''s tears flowed endlessly.
Now that what she had done had been exposed, she had to confess the truth to protect herself. She would rather admit the truth than have the entire country see her scandalous video.
Bethanypromised, thinking, ''What can my family do to me anyway? So what if I sabotaged Carrie?''
Gregory valued the family''s reputation and his image more than anything else in the world, so Bethany was sure he would step up to defend her.
"Why would Shannon give you Carrie''s diagnosis report?!" Nigel was so furious that he could hardly catch his breath.
"I... I don''t know... Maybe she''s lost it because of all the drugs she''s been using?"
"Did you use her drug habit against her to ckmail her into giving you something so you could destroy Carrie''s marriage? That must be what happened, right?" Justin''s eyes were ominously dark. He was erupting with anger.
"I... I..." Faced with the overbearing pressure, Bethany''s mind went nk.
Justin''s deduction was so urate that she could note up with a rebuttal in the heat of the moment.
"You scum! You are worse than scum!"
Nigel furiously pped his thigh and managed to get up with Matt''s help. "Carrie is your biological sister! You grew up with her, and she has always been kind to you... She trusted you as her elder sister... How could you do something like this to her?!"
"You are despicable! You''re just like your dead mother!" Gregory was beyond disappointed in his daughter.
"You guys were the ones who forced me into doing this! Did you think this was only my fault?!"
Bethany began to scream madly. "Grandpa, you keep saying that you love me, your eldest granddaughter, but you only favor Carrie every time! I was the one who fell in love with Ryan first, so why did you pair Carrie with him? Why does she always get the good things? Am I supposed to be inferior to her?!"
Nigel was baffled upon hearing this.
In the blink of an eye, his expression darkened again. A drop of tears appeared behind his eyes that were colored with rage. Then he stepped forward and delivered a vicious p again.
It was a far harder p than the previous one.
Justin and Gregory were both shocked.
Bethany''s eardrums were ringing from the pain and even pulsating. It hurt so much that she was sweating all over.
"The one thing I hate the most are women who get jealous of each other because of men! As if that wasn''t enough, you would even stoop as low as to harm your sister, all just to steal love away from her!"
Nigel roared with rage while his
heart ached. "Back then, I had fallen for your grandmother and wanted to marry her... Because of that, her evil sister beat her up so badly that she became deaf in her left ear!
Justin and Gregory werepletely baffled.
Even Matt, who was the closest to Nigel, waspletely stunned.
This exined why Nigel always spoke loudly to his wife back then. When there was nobody around, he would often draw up close to his wife and whisper in her ears.
This also exined why Old Madam Salvador, who enjoyed theaters and operas, was a poor singer who was always out of tune.
Despite that, Nigel would always listen to her sing. His eyes would be filled with adoration and tenderness, as if he would never tire of her voice no matter what.
Meanwhile, Old Madam Salvador, who lost her hearing in her left ear, had neverined about it. She always smiled radiantly and was full of kindness. Nobody would ever believe that she had hearing loss.
It was Nigel who made up for her disabilities with his relentless devotion and love.
"What you have done today is no different from what that vicious woman had done in the past! No, you are worse than her, because you used someone else to do the dirty work for you!"
Nigel was beyond furious as he
jabbed his finger at Bethany''s pale
face. "I won''t have someone morally corrupt like you as my
granddaughter! Don''t you ever
d.ne
go
around touting that you are Nigel
Salvador''s granddaughter! You don''t
deserve the title!"
"Grandpa..."
Bethany was truly frantic by this point.
Gregory was not fond of her, and her grandfather resented her. To make things worse, Justin was her enemy! Could there still be a ce for her in the Salvador family?
"Bethany, since you have confessed to the crime, there is nothing left for you to say."
Justin cast an icy look at Gregory. "Dad, how are you going to deal with her?"
Gregory was seething by this point. He was very upset about Bethany sabotaging Carrie, but more than that, he was upset that she had colluded with the Hoffmans to betray her family! She was a traitor!
At the same time, Gregory did not want Justin to handle the matter.
Firstly, he worried Justin would be too ruthless. It would not reflect well on his reputation. Secondly, he was the leader of the household, so he should deal with the traitor, not this rebellious son of his.
"Lock her up and make sure she doesn''t step out of Tideview Manor. I will handle the rest!"
Justin shook his head faintly. "No, that''s too light of a punishment."
Gregory frowned. "What are you thinking, then?"
"Cut off all her finances and banish her overseas. Make sure she neveres back to Savrow."
Every word Justin uttered cut deep like a knife. He was not going to back down. "One more thing, she has to go to Carrie and apologize on her knees.”
