Naomi burst into tears and quickly said, “It’s all because of the accidental deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis. Ms. Jarvis was so sad that she lost her mind, but I don’t blame her.”

While Tabitha was still feigning unconsciousness and had yet to come to, Naomi had already taken the opportunity to tell Malcolm about the incident that happened back then.

Malcolm frowned slightly. “It wasn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself for what happened back then.”

At that moment, all color drained from Tabitha’s face upon hearing his words.

The man she loved deeply chose to believe and defend a murderer who killed her parents!

“Leave!” Tabitha said. A chill ran through her spine from the pain, but she tried her best to endure it. “Get out of here, you shameless couple!”

Initially, Malcolm felt slightly guilty for hurting her, but the guilt soon disappeared as his face darkened upon hearing her words.

“Shameless couple?” he repeated. All the warmth disappeared from his gaze as he looked at her condescendingly. “You and the baby in your womb are the ones who truly make me sick, Tabitha!”

For the past two years, she had shown him consideration and care, all while knowing her place.

“Malcolm, you’re abandoning our baby for her?” she asked.

Naomi’s heart leaped to her throat, and her heartbeat accelerated upon hearing Tabitha mention the child.

“You’re most aware of how this child came by, Tabitha, and you expect me to want it?” he spat.

His string of words pierced Tabitha’s chest like a sharp arrow.

Indeed, they had been sleeping in separate rooms for two years.

If it were not for the alcohol and drugs that night, Malcolm would not

have even touched her.

Malcolm pursed his lips grimly, and his eyes were cold. He did not reply directly and instead said, “Grandpa treats you like his own, Tabitha. If you have any conscience remaining, you should really stop using him.”

Tabitha opened her mouth to speak but could not say a word.

She knelt on the ground and stared blankly ahead. All of a sudden, she felt extremely tired.

Malcolm looked at her ashen face and tried to calm down. With a

Furthermore, she could be able to uphold her reputation and never expose her true colors to Alaric.
