Ethan's words were like a heavy hammer, striking Matthew's heart with a powerful force.
All the questionable points were clearly explained. It was as if all the problems had been solved. All the doubts that had been lingering in Matthew's mind were finally resolved.
However, it was precisely because of this that Matthew found it difficult to accept.
'If they are indeed telling the truth... Everything seems to fit. But how can they prove that this is exactly what had happened back then?' Matthew thought.
He did not believe it.
"Ethan, you are aware that you have lied many times, right?" Matthew said.
Ethan shook his head, his face covered in blood. "I know you don't believe me but isn't what you dug out from the back of the mountain enough to prove all of this?
"How else do you think I could kidnap the daughter of the Anderson family? Without that car accident, how could I possibly get near her?
"At first, I didn't know of Valerie's identity. It was only later on that I found out Valerie is no ordinary girl... I have finally revealed the secret that has been weighing upon me for many years.
"I feel guilty. I have let her down. I know I'm despicable, but everything that I said is true!"
Ethan pulled Matthew. "Your parents did hit the guardrail because they panicked after hitting William's car. Even if my truck didn't hit them, they would still die!
"Matthew, can you believe it? This is fate, this is fate!"
Matthew could not believe this. He was stung by the truth. He did not expect that after searching for so many years, this would be the truth.
He had always felt that his parents' deaths must have been intentional. He even suspected Fred.
In wealthy families, ruthless tactics like these were common in their fight for inheritance.
Owen was a good example of that. He had killed his brother because of his family's assets. Matthew was in a daze, unwilling to accept the truth.
Owen shouted from outside, "Matthew, I'm not lying. I'm not lying! You can't kill me. Let me go!"
At this moment, Owen was in a sorry state. After he was carried out, he was beaten black and blue.
No one had ever dared to treat him like this in his life. Now that he heard Ethan's words, Owen suddenly felt a surge of hope, so he started to talk. "Matthew, you didn't expect this outcome, did you? You can't kill me. Let me go!"
After Matthew staggered for two steps, he snapped back to his senses and waved his hand. "Take them away!"
He went back in a daze, his mind consumed by the truth he had just learned. If all that was true, then his parents were the real murderers who killed Valerie's biological father!
They were also the culprits who caused Valerie to wander for so many years and suffer so much.
Matthew felt a deep pang of pain in his heart as he thought about how Valerie had suffered so much in Ethan's house since young, and she had even experienced cyberbullying and harsh treatment.
All of this was the Grant family's fault.
Valerie should have been the Anderson family's daughter, enjoying wealth and privilege. She should have been above everyone else, but she had ended up in such a state.
If Valerie had not met him, she probably would not have been able to make a comeback for the rest of her life.
Even if Valerie could secure a good job, she would still face public skepticism. She had faced so many years of separation from her family and Chloe had even become mentally ill due to the deaths of her husband and daughter.
Moreover, the Anderson family almost collapsed because of the Grant family. How did Olivia get through all these years?
Matthew could not believe it. This was not the truth. It could not be.
'Valerie's suffering stems from me. How can that be? The Grant family is the true culprit behind Sarah's lifelong torment!' he thought.
Matthew was overwhelmed with pain at the thought of that. He had a heavy feeling in his chest.
