"You, you are too..."
Mrs. Don angrily pointed at Viola.
Viola sneered and said, "What's wrong with me? You can't recognize me now, right? But this is who I am. You know, it's so hard to pretend to be obedient. It's driving me crazy. Yes, I drugged you. Is this the answer you want?"
Mrs. Don couldn't believe her ears.
"Why? Why did you do that? Am I mean to you? I have done so many things for you. I even quarreled with Nicole. I kicked out my biological granddaughter. Why did you do that? Do you know that the Don family is a clean and heroic family? How could you damage our reputation?"
Mrs. Don's heart was broken, but Viola didn't care about what she said.
Viola burst into laughter.
"You're stupid. You don't believe in your granddaughter and chose to trust me, an outsider. My mother told you that when you suffered a stroke, it was Nicole who got the antidote for you. Did you believe her?"
"What she said was true?"
"Yes! Moreover, Nicole was pregnant at that time. Unfortunately, she did not know that. To get the antidote, she lost the child after she was kicked by Zama. You don't know that, do you? She was badly injured! Zama hated her and wanted to kill her. When Samuel arrived there, Nicole was covered in blood and she was unconscious. She was sent to the hospital the doctor tried so hard to save her. They were afraid that you would be worried about her, so they didn't tell you. Nicole rested at home for a month, but the doctor said that she might not be able to get pregnant anymore."
Mrs. Don was stunned.
"Is this true? Is what she said true?"
She grabbed Jason's arm and asked anxiously. Her eyes were filled with regret.
Jason didn't want to hurt Mrs. Don, but this was the truth.
"Yes. Nicole was dying. We didn't dare to tell you. We were afraid that you wouldn't be able to withstand it. But we didn't expect that Viola would say it was she that saved you. And you believed her. Everyone, including Audrey, Nicole and Samuel, told you that the antidote was brought back by Nicole. However, you didn't believe it at all."
Mrs. Don felt that the room was spinning.
Why?
Why didn't she believe Nicole?
She looked fiercely at Viola, who was smiling complacently. Mrs. Don slapped on her face angrily.
It stunned everyone.
This was the first time that Mrs. Don beat Viola.
Everyone knew that Viola was Mrs. Don's treasure. She wouldn't allow anyone to beat or scold Viola. Mrs. Don gave her everything she wanted, but now she beat Viola.
Viola was beaten to the side. She accidently bit her mouth and lips, and a little blood oozed out. Mrs. Don did slap hard.
"How can you be so vicious? She's your biological sister!"
"Sister? Vicious? That's not what you said about me. My dear grandmother, you always say that I am kind and mild. I'm a victim. Do you have any ideas about right and wrong? You will believe everything I say, right? You always thought that you treated me well. But before I knew you, I was like a princess in my family in America. No one dares to go against me. After I came here, I had been obedient to you and never complained. How beautiful do you think you are? Or am I a masochist who likes to be abused and to serve you? If it weren't for the fact that you were Nicole's biological grandmother, I wouldn't give you a damn!"
Viola was not pretending at all now.
Now that everything was clear, what did she need to conceal?
"I'm jealous of her. We had the same mother, but people only cared about her. I'm a person too! As for my mother, I care so much about her and I worked hard to please her. It has been more than 20 years. In order to win her attention, I've tried my best. But what happened in the end? She could only see Nicole! When I was in the United States, I drugged Nicole and sent her to Mr. Brook. Because of this, my mother asked my father to beat me to death, and she even wanted to break up with me. People won't hesitate to give Nicole the affection that I yearn for. Why? If I don't get it, she won't be able to get it neither! She cared about you the most and could risk her life to get the antidote for you. So I just let her know how it feels like to be abandoned, neglected and hated by you!"
Viola was so crazy and blunt that Mrs. Don was furious.
She didn't expect that the child that she had cared for wholeheartedly was actually so vicious-hearted. Nicole was too pitiful to have been hurt by her for so many times.
She couldn't help but recall the way Nicole looked at her before. It was so gentle and caring, but what about now?
The last time Nicole came to the Don’s was because of Zoe. At that time, Nicole looked at her as if she was looking at an enemy.
She had always felt that she was right. She thought it was Nicole's fault. She thought that Nicole was always lying to win her favor. But now, she knew what Nicole had experienced and lost for her.
Mrs. Don was regretful. She felt hard to breathe as if her chest was suppressed by a mountain.
"So you plotted everything, didn't you? You were also involved in the incident of Nicole's photos, weren't you?"
Mrs. Don was not stupid. As Viola confessed, she could relate things together now.
Viola couldn't help but pause.
Did she regret?
She didn't know, but when she heard Mrs. Don say that she wanted to make up for her with love, she felt sorry and sad.
However, this feeling was fleeting.
She did not need anyone's pity or sympathy!
She didn't need it!
Viola turned her head and looked at Mrs. Don. She sneered and said, "Once I control you, I can control the entire Don family. I can even threaten Nicole. Although she looked cold and emotionless, she was more softhearted than anyone else. I planned to threaten Nicole with you. I want to kill her! I have already sent someone to ask her to come here at two o'clock in the afternoon. That stupid woman is probably still struggling. Today is not my day. I was exposed and caught before I could catch Nicole. It's useless for me to say anything now. You can do whatever you want to me. But don't expect me to be grateful to you or make an apology!"
Mrs. Don was stunned by her.
What Viola said kept repeating in her mind.
"Although Nicole looks cold and emotionless, she's more softhearted than anyone else."
Nicole!
Would Nicole, the granddaughter that she had wronged and hurt, come here?
Jason noticed something else. He looked at Viola and asked coldly, "Did you threaten Nicole with my mother? Or did you use another excuse? Was it you that kidnapped Zoe? You planned to lure Nicole over with it, right?"
What Jason said reminded Mrs. Don of something.
That was true!
The last time that Nicole came to the Don’s was because Zoe was kidnapped.
Did Viola do that?
