“Why? You were born to be a slut. You seduced my uncle to marry you and even made him fall in love with you.
“How can a person like you who has no parents and a lowly fate have the honorable title of Mrs. Olson?”
She covered her nose in disgust and slowly opened her lips under Casey's numb gaze.
"Oh, by the way, let me share a little secret with you.
"The ashes you've been praying to so devoutly on the altar for the past three years? They're actually Lilibeth.
"As for your brother's ashes... Uncle fed them to a dog at my suggestion."
Seeing the woman in front of her widen her eyes in shock, Lily laughed triumphantly.
“Auntie, if you taste it carefully, you may still taste your brother in your mouth.”
Casey’s vision blurred as darkness clouded her eyes. She bit down on her lip so hard that the sharp tang of blood spread across her tongue.
She could no longer endure it. Her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground, sobs wracking her body as tears poured down her face.
It was the final blow, the last straw that shattered her completely.
At night, as soon as she entered the ward, Ethan smashed the phone on her head.
“Casey, are you fucking crazy?” he yelled. “Who gave you the guts to hurt her? I've never said a harsh word to Lily since she was a child.”
The blood from the temple slowly flowed to the face, warm and moist and pain followed.
Casey swallowed the bitterness in his throat, “Ethan, don't you want to ask me the reason?”
“The puppy we picked up together three years ago was killed by Lily and stewed into soup. Is this a good enough reason?”
Ethan's brows relaxed for a moment, then frowned fiercely. He slapped the woman in the face, causing her to fall off the bed.
"Shut up! You're lying again. There's no way Lily would do something like that!
"You must have done something despicable to provoke such a gentle girl. And even if it’s true, it was just a dog. It's better off dead."
Just a dog that was better off dead?
Casey struggled to get up from the ground. At that moment, her heart died and the man in her memory also died.
Someone rushed in from outside the door and reported, “Mr. Olson, it's bad. Miss Haley committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the room. She fainted due to heavy bleeding.”
Ethan reacted and glared at Casey fiercely. "It's all your fault, you bitch! If anything happens to Lily, you're the only one to blame!"
