Chapter 1452 You lied to me, didnât you?
Anthonyâs lips curled into a careless smile.
âIt doesnât really matter that she threatened me with the familyâs wealth, but she knew about my grandmother.â
When he mentioned his grandmother, Anthonyâs eyes darkened slowly.
âAfter I forced you to leave, my grandmother somehow found out and, in order to not burden me anymore, she hanged herself.â
âLater, I became a lawyer and helped your mother win an international lawsuit. She told me that if I still loved you, I should go after you.â
He spoke these words casually, as if he no longer cared.
He turned around and walked up to Edith, his eyes slightly red, silently gazing at her.
âEdith, donât blame your parents. I left them with a bad impression, and itâs normal for them to be afraid that I would.
Edith thought that after she knew the truth, she wouldnât have any reaction, but at this moment, she couldnât believe it and took a step back.
âItâs impossible. My parents are so good to me, they always cater to my every need. How could they force you to break upâ¦â
Anthony didnât reply, he just tilted his head back, forcing the tears in his eyes to retreat.
Edith looked at Anthony like this and grabbed his collar.
âYou lied to me, didnât you?â
Anthony smiled, tears uncontrollably rolling down his face.
âYes, I lied to you.â
But Edith didnât believe him anymore because she remembered when her parents flew over specifically to accompany her, the first thing they said was that they were afraid she would be too sad and unable to move on.
Theyâ¦
They clearly knew what had happened, but they acted as if nothing had happened, watching her struggle in the quagmireâ¦
If Anthonyâs abandonment, hurt, and betrayal dealt her a fatal blow, then her closest relatives were the ones who hurt her invisibly.
Edith couldnât accept it. She let go of Anthonyâs clothes, covered her face, and slowly crouched down.
Anthony also crouched down and comforted her, âSilly, I lied to you on purpose to win you back.â
Unable to hold back, tears streamed down Edithâs face, âMy family indirectly caused the death of your grandmotherâ¦â
Seeing her cry like this, Anthony felt heartbroken, âItâs not true, I lied to you. You know, I havenât told a single truth. Donât cry.â
Edith looked at him through teary eyes, âWhat about those womenâ¦â
Anthony reached out his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on her face, but she avoided it.
The hand that hung in the air made him realize that Edith, who loved him so much that she was willing to die, was gone.
He withdrew his hand, looked at Edith, and gently curved his lips, âIâve slept with all of them.â
Edith, in fact, itâs all a lie. I never slept with them. I lied to you to force you to leave.
