Chapter 328
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
âWhat are you doing? Stand up! Donât do this!â
Sophia tried to tug me up, but I remained kneeling and sobbed. âIâm sorry, Mrs. Bauman. I was there
that day. It was my fault. If it werenât for me, Marcus wouldnât have died.â
Anthony stiffened before they both helped me up. âThis isnât your fault. We watched the surveillance
footage. He was really emotional back then. He got off the car because of you. Well, it was fate. We
canât blame anyone else.â
I parted my lips and made a solemn promise. âMr. and Mrs. Bauman, if you donât mind, I can take care
of you on behalf of Marcus.â
âWhat a thoughtful child. No wonder Marc fell for you,â said Sophia. She sighed and lamented, âI wish
Marc is still here. What a pity.â
After a pause, Anthony gazed at me. âLetty, be honest with me. What happened that day? Why did
Marc act that way? He wasnât usually that reckless. Did he have a reason for doing so?â
John and Louis, who had remained silent the whole time, promptly looked at me.
I explained, âMarcus died in despair after Benjamin and Sharon died. It was my fault. I didnât know heâll
follow his parentsâ path.â
Anthony narrowed his gaze. âWhat do Sharon and Marcâs deaths have to do with Sally?â
I hesitated and revealed the incident which happened ten years ago to them. I also informed them how
Benjamin deliberately left most of White Corporationâs shares to Sally. As Sally had sacrificed her life
for Sharonâs sake, Benjamin thanked her by giving her the shares.
Both of them had never paid attention to the news and didnât know about the scandal. After hearing my
explanation, tears rolled down Sophiaâs cheeks. âWhat a misfortune in our family!â
Everyone was sighing, but Anthony remained calm. Finally, he exhaled sharply and concluded, âForget
it. Itâs nothing but a tragedy.â
I had said and done everything I could, so it was all up to the elders now.
It was 9 p.m. when dinner ended. John told the driver to send Louis, Anthony, and Sophia home before
turning to me. âGive me a ride home, will you?â
I pursed my lips. âYou didnât drive here?â
Shrugging his shoulders, he replied, âI came here in Uncle Louisâ car.â
Fine!
In the car, John kept stealing glances at me.
He finally blurted out, âYou seemed to be on Sallyâs side earlier. Am I right?â
I held the steering wheel and answered calmly, âYep!â
Narrowing his gaze, he said, âPlease explain. Donât tell me you became a saint because of Ashton?
Marcus meant a lot to you. You knew why he died. Donât you feel guilty?â
The car rolled to a stop at the traffic light. I glanced at him and arched a brow. âLetâs deal with Cameron
first. Someone will punish Sally for all her deed, right?â
âWhat do you mean?â he asked in surprise.
âIt must be someone avenging Marcus. A few days ago, someone posted an article about the death of
the Whites. It was all over the news. The article was basically cursing Sally for being a shameless
homewrecker.â
He paused. âYou didnât write that article?â
âIâm not that good at writing.â Clearly, someone had hired a reporter to write that slandering article.
âIf it wasnât the Baumans or you, who else would it be?â John frowned and massaged his temples.
He couldnât figure out who it was. âWho do you think it was?â he asked me.
Shaking my head, I replied, âI have no idea. But since that person knows everything, he or she must be
someone close to the White family. Letâs wait and see. That person wonât give up as Sally wasnât really
affected by this incident. I believe that person will continue to trouble her.â
He smiled faintly. âSo you struck up a deal with her and agreed to ask the Baumans to help her?â
I thrust the folder Sally gave me earlier in his direction. âTake this with you. Release the juicy bits to the
media slowly Letâs torture Cameron inch by inch. Anyway, each video inside could tear her reputation
to shreds.â
âSure. Her reputation is extremely important to her now. If her name is sullied, she could no longer be
Mrs. Moore. The Moore family values its reputation. If this goes on, they will kick her out for sure.â
He smirked and gave me a thumbs up. âHer career and reputation are almost destroyed. Are you going
to target her loved ones next?â
