Chapter 26 âWhy was the driver who hit us the same one who hit your mother? When we investigated earlier, the driver suddenly disappeared overseas, but now heâs back and hits your mother again?
You two knew each other, didnât you?â
As he recalled how the three of them had been kept in the dark for so long, how they had been so kind to Bethany, his anger erupted, and he grabbed her wrist tightly.
The sharp edge of the paper left red marks on her face.
In an instant, Bethany was reduced to a pitiful, tearful mess, desperately shaking her head.
âNo, I didnât, Ethan, what are you talking about? I donât understand.â
âTony, please explain for me, okay?â
She pleaded, looking at Tony.
âDid Ethan listen to someone and misunderstand me like this? How could I and my mother, just servants, possibly do such things?â
âIs it because Kate doesnât like me and said something to you? Yeah, itâs normal for Kate to misunderstand me, after all... she has never liked me.â
As she spoke, she couldnât help but observe their reactions.
But she didnât have the courage to look at the documentsâ
had fallen on the ground.
Tonyâs usually gentle, smiling eyes were now as cold as ice, and when he looked at Bethany, there was a trace of hatred in his gaze.
âStop pretending. What qualifications do you have to talk about Kate? Donât you and your mother know what youâve done?â
âYou bribed a driver to crash into us, yet at the critical moment, you risked your life to protect us. You must have already calculated that you wouldnât be in danger. We were really foolish to believe you without further investigation.â
âBut those pieces of evidence you canât erase! If it werenât for you panicking this time, and your mother causing a car accident in a rush, we wouldnât have discovered your true face so soon!â

Chapter 20 He grabbed Bethanyâs neck tightly and spoke slowly, but his grip was so forceful that veins were popping out on his hand.
Bethany was suffocating, her eyes rolling back, struggling nonstop.
Tony was never truly a gentle person; it was only a facade, He whispered in her ear, âDonât worry, Bethany, after all the bad things youâve done, I wonât let you âoff easily!â
âAll the suffering Kate went through before, you will experience it all!â
It was only when Ethan saw that Bethany was on the verge of death that he reminded him, âBe careful, donât kill her.â
Upon hearing that, Tony slowly released his grip, and the next moment, a pot of scalding hot soup was poured onto her.
âAh!â
As Bethany caught her breath, her skin instantly turned red from the burn. She curled up like a shrimp, rolling on the floor, trying to use the coldness of the tiles to soothe the pain.
âYou canât stand this little pain? How did Kate endure it back then?â
Tonyâs deep eyes narrowed slightly. When Kate was mentioned, his heart filled with pity.
She had been pampered since childhood, but how much suffering had Bethany endured after coming into this family?
When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that all of it had come from them.

ï¤Chapter 420 Guilt instantly overwhelmed him.
He only hated that he had been too naive at the time, forgetting to investigate properly in his desire to repay a lifeâsaving favor.
Tony now shared the same thoughts.
Having been an actor for so long, winning so many awards and observing countless lives, he had completely tripped in his own life.
It was his overconfidence that had allowed Bethanyâs crude tricks to deceive him.

Now that he was sober, he realized how foolish he had been.
Thinking of this, Tonyâs gaze towards Bethany grew even colder.
Before she could recover, he grabbed her collar and dragged her towards the artificial lake.
As if guessing what he intended to do, Bethany clung to his leg, constantly begging:
âTony, Iâm sorry, I know I was wrong, but I really saved your lives, and I really like you! Donât treat me like this, please? It hurts so much, let me go just this once, please?â
Hearing this, Tony stopped, but he disdainfully kicked her hand away, his voice cold to the extreme âDonât touch me, youâre dirty.
