Evan instantly strode upstairs as he made his way into Russell’s room.
At Russell’s behest, Evan shut the door fully before a letter was handed to him.
“Don’t say anything until you’ve read the letter!”
Accepting the letter, Evan quickly opened it.
Shock had him frowning when he saw the photos inside.
However, when he read the contents of the letter, his expression fell.
How can this be? Despite our efforts all of these years, we were never able to find out who was behind the hit and run that had killed Grandma. I honestly never expected that it would be…
He flipped through the photos once more in disbelief.
One photo showed his grandmother lying in a pool of her own blood.
Another showed two people sitting in a car, the car that had hit his grandmother. Zane was sitting in the passenger seat while a woman was in the driver’s seat.
The letter explained that the woman was Zane’s first wife and the mother of Nicole!
This means that the person who had killed my grandmother is Nicole’s mother.
Evan was utterly dumbfounded at the news and found himself at a loss for what to say.
He lifted his head to look at Russell.
Profound sadness and fury were written across the old man’s wrinkled face.
Now, he finally understood why Russell had such a sudden and great change of heart when it came to Nicole.
His grandmother was the woman whom his grandfather had loved the most in his life. After her death, his grandfather kept trying to find who the culprit was, hoping to bring them to justice.
For however much Russell loved his wife, such was the extent of his hatred for Nicole’s mother.
Naturally, it would not be that far of a stretch for him to hate Nicole as well.
“Evan, do you think that I should still allow you to marry her?”
