Chapter 1604
As she reminisced about the past, the smile that she tried to hide was all too visible to Stella. Stella had
a vague inkling that whether it was during their pup period when she encouraged her to get close to
Eric, or as they grew older when she manipulated her into falling for Eric, it was all part of Karen’s plan.
Even the later harm inflicted upon her, which she blamed on Eric, was just because Karen knew that
Thomas wanted Eric to be the heir…
She was ultimately just a pawn in Karen’s hands…
Yet, the person who treated her as a pawn was still holding her hand and shifting the blame onto
others.
“No matter when it started, you have to know that it was Eric who provoked me first. From the moment I
stepped into the picture, he constantly insulted me and even called me a homewrecker in private. If you
want to blame someone, blame him.”
Stella curled her lips in a bitter smile and suddenly burst into laughter.
“Aren’t you the homewrecker?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith tears in her eyes, she stared at her unfamiliar aunt.
“In order to escape the identity of a small-town girl, you climbed
into Thoma s’s bed, knowing full well that he was mated. Eric saw you wearing his mother’s clothes,
fooling around with his father in his mother’s room. He hated you for that. And what’s more, you
forcefully moved into the Sinclair pack, driving his mother crazy to the point where she jumped off a
building. Who else should he blame if not you?”
These things were what Stella had heard from others as she grew older, and even though her
worldview had been greatly shaken at the time, she still chose to believe Karen’s explanations.
After all, Karen’s excuse was that she had no power or influence, and she couldn’t escape from
someone as powerful as Thomas.
But now, Stella realized that Karen was truly talented. She could turn black into white. At that time, she
was even grateful to her aunt…
If the harm Eric caused her was a score of ten thousand, then Karen’s was a hundred thousand. The
gentle and kind aunt that she believed in turned out to be a facade… Even the love she showed her
was just a lie…
No wonder Eric treated her like that. How could she not treat Eric well while secretly tormenting him?
Karen hadn’t read many books, but she had exceptional acting skills…
She pretended to care about Eric on the surface but tortured him behind his back. She deceived Stella
from beginning to end, there was nothing truthful about her…
Stella’s heart ached so much that it felt like it was bleeding. This truth, presented in front of her, was
more painful than death itself because she truly regarded Karen as her mother, a mother who
had redeemed her…
Stella couldn’t control herself anymore. She raised her hand and covered her tearful eyes. How could
Karen be so cruel? Why did she treat her as a mere pawn, a pawn she had used for over twenty
years? How could she hurt her like this…
“As I’ve told you, Thomas forced me into this. I didn’t willingly become the homewrecker…”
Hearing such a deceitful excuse, Stella stopped talking. Arguing with someone of twisted morals would
only make her seem foolish.
She wiped away her tears, pushed away the hand that had been covering hers, and slowly stood up,
supporting herself against the edge of the sofa…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was no need to ask anymore. Those people who fell into the water by accident, Eric must have
sent someone to get rid of them after he found out about his own gang rape. The others who escaped
and were imprisoned, Karen must have bribed them not to speak.
Only Karen knew, but she wouldn’t tell Stella. After those thugs were released from prison, Eric sent
people to kill them.
At the tim
thugs sought refuge with her, threatening
to expose the truth if she didn’t give them money to leave the country. In order to keep them under
control, Karen used Bart’s account to transfer money and help them escape.
Eric never investigated the thugs’ accounts at that time; he just sent people to track them down and
have them killed. Most of the accidental deaths of those thugs were the result of Eric’s actions.
Eric probably never expected that because of his hatred, he not only solved her hidden dangers but
also allowed her to reap the benefits.
Karen thought of this and looked up at Stella, who had turned to grab her bag.
“Stella, I’ve never killed anyone. Even if you know the truth, you can only hate me, but I will never face
legal consequences for these old matters.”
