Chapter 156

Margaret then went to the basement to fetch the letter she had been keeping with utmost care for four whole years in the old box.

“Miss Ren, this letter was given to me by Mrs. Everheart just before she died. But it’s very strange, she said that I should never show it to you if your marriage is happy, but if you get divorced, then I should pass it to you…”

Margaret solemnly handed the letter sealed in the envelope to Renee. She looked rather sad when she did so. Mrs. Everheart’s anguish and desperation before she committed suicide were still fresh in her mind.

The only person Mrs. Everheart was reluctant to let go of was Renee. She must have hoped that she could have a happy marriage with Master Hunt, but who would have expected that it would last only four years before it fell apart…

Renee looked down at “My Dear Ren” written on the envelope. It was her mother’s handwriting which no one could imitate. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

Four years ago, she was in the laboratory conducting experiments on the speed of electromagnetic waves around the major planets when her parents jumped off the building.

As a science prodigy, she was so obsessed with numbers and data that she would not leave the laboratory for months or have any contact with the outside world before she got the outcome of the experiments.

Her family had always been supportive of her scientific endeavors and never disturbed her when she was doing research. No one would have predicted that the moment she succeeded in the experiment would become the time she received the tragic news about her family’s bankruptcy and her parents‘

death!

Hatred immediately filled her heart. She hated those who harmed her family. And she was aggrieved at her parents, who had not left a single word.

She wanted revenge, but before she could identify her enemy, her intention was ruled out by her grandfather, and she was forced to marry Stefan.

For four years, she suffered countless times because of her parent’s choice to die without leaving a word. It led to her refusal to even visit their graves or care about the Everheart family. 1 “They apparently did not leave in silence. They did leave me a message. I was too stupid, too stubborn to understand their intention!”

Renne cried as she opened the envelope.

The letter was not long. There were only a few dozen words, but each word pierced her heart as she read it.

“Ren, my baby, please forgive us for not saying goodbye to you. When you read this letter, perhaps you have ended your marriage with Mr. Hunt. You must be feeling very sad and helpless, right? Promise us that no matter what you find out about the Hunt family, don’t blame them. We have too many things to say to you, but we want to tell you that you must live a happy life, and you must not must not avenge us. The daughter of the Everheart family need not be a great person, but she should be healthy and happy. We will become a family again in the next lifetime!”

Renee’s tears rolled down like pearls, dripping on the letter and smudging the letters. Fearing that the letter would be destroyed, she quickly wiped it with her sleeve.

These were her parents‘ final words for her.

“Father, Mother, you are so cruel!” She cried so hard that she nearly choked.

When she came to think of it, she seemed overly calm and had never shed a single tear when she learned about the death of her parents.

Everyone said that she was aloof and ungrateful, but in fact she was in so much pain that she could not even cry.

Now that she could finally cry, she felt much relieved.

“Cry it out, Miss Ren, just cry it out.”

Margaret patted Renee’s back sadly and comforted her gently. Her young lady was a strong girl. It’s devastating that she had suffered so much all these years…

After crying her heart out, Renee gathered herself. “Margaret, now that I am back, you no longer have to live in the basement. Move in with me, and we will support each other.”

“Okay, Miss Ren, I still want to care for you like I used to!”

Margaret’s pale and gaunt face finally revealed a smile. It had been a long time since she last smiled.

Then, she asked. curiously, “Miss Ren, what message did Mr. and Mrs. Everheart leave for you?”

“They hoped that I could live a normal and happy life and don’t blame the Hunt family, and they told me I must not take revenge for them.”

She gazed intensely at the letter and answered truthfully.

“That’s weird. It seems there is no secret in the letter, but why do they insist that it should only be given to you after you are divorced? Could it be that the people who caused the bankruptcy of the Everheart family related to the Hunt family?”
