Chapter 886: Chapter 886

Chapter 886 After warning her, Bernard didn’t waste time beating around the bush with Donna. He cut to the chase I’m here for two things. If you play it straight with me, I won’t interfere with your brother’s plea for a reduced sentence. But if you play coy, III slap more charges on him, maybe enough to get him the death penalty.”

Donna’s brother had tried to drown him in a swimming pool when he was five, and Bernard was not about to let bygones be bygones. Now he could use her brother as leverage to squeeze the truth out of Donna, which was a fair deal in his books Donna didn’t have much of a soft spot, but her little brother, who had always been at her beck and call was her Achilles heel. So she took the bait:

“What do you want to know?”

Bernard asked coldly. “First off, did you start the fire that killed my father?”

Hearing that, Donna caught on quick: “So, you’ve figured out who your birth mother is?”

Eleanor, hearing this, shot Donna a surprised look, then turned to Bernard.

No wonder Donna had always treated him so harshly, she wasn’t his birth mother after all.

And it all made sense why Bernard had come to visit Donna in prison right after his chat with Blake Eleanor got the drift, but if Donna wasn’t his mother, then who was?

Bernard didn’t spill any beans about his mother to Eleanor; he just demanded, “Answer me, did you or didn’t you?”

Donna didn’t answer, she just smirked at Bernard and said, “Since you’ve figured it out, why don’t you tell me, was it right or wrong for your father to cheat on your mother after their marriage?”

Eleanor was taken aback again. If his father had cheated on his mother, then Bernard was a love child.

It wasn’t something Bernard would have wanted to say in front of Eleanor, but he knew he couldn’t dodge the bullet. But it wasn’t fair that he had to pay for his parents“ sins, was it?

And considering all the abuse he had suffered growing up and everything he cared about being destroyed, hadn’t he paid his dues already? Then who would stand up for him? Seeing Bernard’s silence, Donna knew he was at a loss for words, and that was enough for her: “Your father cheated A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

after marriage, don’t you think he deserved to die?”

Her blatant admission gave Bernard a new perspective on her “So you wanted to burn him alive because he asked for a divorce and you didn’t agree?”

Donna scoffed “Do you think I wanted him dead from the start? It was his constant betrayal that made me want to burn him alive.”

Donna heaved a sigh. “The world doesn’t punish unfaithful men and their mistresses, so I had to take matters into my own hands. I just wanted to kill Leonard Laurence’s woman, humiliate his son, and watch him die. I was only doing justice; do you think I was wrong?”

Now, Bernard was nothing but calm towards Donna. “It’s Blake’s fault. He tore my parents apart, and he hurt you.”

This was the first time Bernard had spoken to her so calmly, which took Donna aback. However, his acknowledgement of her pain eased her rage somewhat: “If you had been like this when you were a kid, maybe I would have treated you better.”
