Perhaps he had been planning this a long time ago. Otherwise, how could he possibly find all of her classmates and invite them over in such a short time?
Edward turned to Lara as well. âLara, what does he mean? Why did you start the fire?â Seeing that Lara looked like she wanted to tear him apart, Nigel smiled and said, âSince you donât want to say anything, let me tell him-â
However, before he could start talking, she asked angrily, âWhy? You promised me that this matter will never see the light of day.
Do you know that you only lived this long because I trusted you?â
He sneered. âI know youâre ruthless enough to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Youâre cold to the bones. I just didnât expect that you would end up killing Ellen! What kind of deep hatred made you willing to let her die? At that time, I actually believed that it was just a moment of jealousy. If I had said something at the time, maybe Ellen wouldnât have died, and you might not have been able to go around creating trouble for so long.â
The more he listened to them, the more Edward became more confused as he glanced between. the two of them. However, his heart had started to waver, and he didnât want to listen to Laraâs excuses anymore. He said to Nigel, âMake this clear. What the hell is going on?â
Nigel fixed a fierce glare on Edward. âYouâre really something. You were already married to Ellen, yet you divorced her for Lara.
The most annoying thing is that you even used such a method!â Edward looked embarrassed. Why did Eugene tell him everything? âYou donât know the truth about what happened back then...â
Nigel retorted, âHow could I not know? Didnât you and Lara deliberately design a whole play about Ellen cheating in order to force Ellen to divorce you? Above anything else, Iâd believe you if you claimed that someone else cheated, but how could Ellen possibly do that? She loved you so much. Youâre just cruel. At any rate, she gave birth to two sons for you, yet you actually forced her to leave? How could you have such a heart?â
This matter wasnât a secret. Pretty much the entire Nolan Family knew about it, but talking about it in front of so many people still made Edward a little embarrassed.
âI didnât mean to force her. She gave up her divided portion of the property, then left the house and everything else behind. All right. Letâs not talk about her anymore. Youâ Nigel didnât let Edward finish speaking as he fiercely continued, âIf Lara hadnât found her and admitted that you plotted the whole cheating act, how could she be sad and not want anything? Youâre not hers anymore. Do you think sheâll still want whatâs yours? Itâs not that I want to criticize you, Edward, but youâre really something. At any rate, sheâs your legal wife. If you didnât like her, you shouldnât have married her. You ruined her life...â
Hannah reached out and tugged on Nigel before she began to complain about him as he kept going on and on. âAll right. All right. Letâs get serious. Thatâs all in the past, so whatâs the use of talking about it now?â
âItâs useless. Sheâs already dead. Even if he repents, itâs no use!â He grew increasingly angrier as he spoke since he had truly misjudged Edward. Was what Edward did something a person would do?
Edward actually felt sorry for Ellen, but she didnât say anything at that time, so he didnât know that Lara had approached her!
Then, he took a deep breath. âOkay. Okay. Stop criticizing me. I feel guilty about it too. Tell me whatâs going on. I remember that Lara saved me. How did she end up starting the fire?â
Glancing at Lara, Nigel slowly enunciated, âWhat do you mean by Lara saved you? Even if she saved you, she was just compensating you. When we were at the party, I went to the bathroom and happened to see a figure floating by. I thought it was Lara, so I chased after her out of curiosity. Then, I heard Lara say to two men, âTake action once she enters the roomâ.â
