Chapter 786
Who took the content inside the box?
The truth seemed so close, yet so far. The one thing he could be certain of was that the person who took it was around him.
The car crash took place on the highway outside Starry River Villa, so there was a high chance that the box, or the content inside the box leaked from Starry River Villa, it would be hard to explain why the car crash took place there otherwise.
In the hospital.
Though Chelsea managed to survive, she was suffering excruciating pain because the left side of her face had been burned. The doctor had told her that there would be a scar on her left cheek and it was unsalvageable.She had been tending to her looks with extra care since she was young, and couldn’t accept the fact that her face was ruined.
It was more devastating than death, but even death didn’t come easy.
“You should realize the reality now, Chelsea!” Mrs. Tierney sat by the bed and said in a cold voice, “I told you to stay away from Elliot Foster long ago and you wouldn’t listen. With how you’ve turned out right now, I truly worry for your life from now on.”
Mrs. Tierney was the biological mother of Chelsea and a step-mother to Charlie, but she favored Charlie because the legacy of the Tierney Family rested in Charlie’s hands.
She treated Charlie as though he was his biological son in hope that he would in turn protect her in the future.
“Just forget that you have a daughter like me from now on!” Chelsea said in desperation,” Charlie treats you well any way. All you need is him.”
“You are still my daughter. Of course, I wouldn’t want you to lead a miserable life.” Mrs. Tierney lowered her gaze.
“Your brother broke one of his legs and will be a cripple for the rest of his life.”
“So what, if he’s a cripple? It doesn’t affect his right to inherit the family properties; my face is ruined. There won’t be any rich man out there willing to take me. There’s no way I can find a proper job like the one I had before either,” Chelsea sobbed, “I’m useless. Is this my karma?
