At the cafe.
After finding a seat, she sat down and ordered herself a cup of strong coffee.
As she gracefully stirred her coffee, I looked down at the glass of milk I ordered. To be honest, I had no
interest in coffee; I just didn't enjoy it.
Looking at her, I couldn't help but say, "You and your mother are really alike."
They both liked strong coffee. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked down at the coffee in her hand and seemed to understand what I meant. She asked, "How
far exactly are you going to go?"
I was stunned, and I didn't know how to respond. "What?"
She raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Calvin has been sentenced to death. Arnold is being
investigated while my mother also got involved. If you're looking to take revenge on me, wouldn't my
child and mother's reputation suffice?"
"No!" I replied coldly, "I had nothing to do with what happened to your child. Moreover, I don't think
killing a child would bring me comfort. As for your mother, isn't she currently safe and sound? She was
just investigated. If she didn't do anything, she would still be a rich woman and her reputation would still
be intact. However, if she really did those filthy things to get to where she is, she would be found out
sooner or later, wouldn't she?"
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She said gloomily, "You will pay for this."
I laughed. "How? You adore Hendrix, so your mother hurt my child and I, and now she is going to lose
her reputation. I believe this is called karma and retribution, am I right?"
She furiously picked up the coffee on the table and splashed it on me. Though it was not scalding hot,
the coffee did end up staining my clothes.
I remained unflinching as I let my eyes stay fixed on her.
She stood up and glared at me. "Arianna, you only lost one child, and you can have as many children
as you want in the future, but what about the innocent people? What of Calvin's life? And Arnold's? And
my mother's future? She worked hard for so many years just to get ruined by you like this. Arianna,
who do you think you are? You're a vicious woman who's ruined my relationship, robbed me of the
person I love, and destroyed my life - the life that my brother traded his for."
I sneered as I wiped the coffee off my face with a tissue. "Innocent? If Calvin was innocent, then the
few lives he had taken would be more innocent than him. Quit acting like you don't know why he was
sentenced to death. Arnold, innocent? What about all the people whose lives were affected by his
money raids all these years? How many innocent people's lives do you think were ruined by him? And
calling your mother innocent? My, that's even more ridiculous. Aren't you aware of what she did to kill
my child? Have you never wondered about all the nasty things she did to get to where she is today?"
My smile grew colder. "As for your brother, yes, he was smart and knew that he didn't have much time
left. So, he entrusted you to Hendrix. His death isn't anyone else's fault; it was just his fate. However,
he had also ruined Hendrix's life. You love Hendrix, but have you ever asked him whether he loved you
back?"
Andrea bit down hard on her lip. Seeing her reaction, I smiled. "You know Hendrix doesn't love you,
right? He's only carrying out this responsibility out of a sense of duty to your brother; because he
promised your brother that he'd take care of you. So, with just a few words, he became a life- long
burden to Hendrix. How is he innocent?"
"Bullsh*t!" She was flooded with emotions. "Things aren't like that at all! If you didn't show up, Hendrix
would have married me. It was because of you; your sudden appearance forced him into a dilemma."
