My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin) novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497 On the Edge of Danger

Many things had happened in the Farrell family recently and Tiffany's psychological line of defense had actually collapsed.

Though her life in the Farrell family seemed to be peaceful on the surface, the truth was that she was besieged on all sides.

Jake had seen this through and therefore, he directly shifted the topic onto Faye.

He was gambling that Faye was the knot that was buried in Tiffany's heart and that Tiffany, who had been under great pressure, would lay down her guard and choose to tell her story in the face of his "kindness and care".

He was right.

Tiffany fell into his trap.

Jake wasn't in a hurry to answer Tiffany's question because it would lack sincerity if he replied to the question quickly.

He pretended to be pondered for a while and then said flatly, "It depends on what mistake that person has made."

Tiffany pressed her lips and asked, "What about a murder?"

Jake faked being dumbfounded and asked, "What?"

Tiffany leaned back against the sofa, took a deep breath, and asked, "Jake, will you come back after leaving Cocanel?"

Jake answered, "Nope."

Tiffany opened her eyes and continued, "I once killed a person."

Tiffany had a strong sense of self-defense. Even though she had prepared to tell her story to Jake now, her gaze toward the latter was still filled with examination and wariness.

Jake looked into Tiffany's eyes. After being stunned for several seconds, he stood up and locked the door of the therapy room from the inside.

When Jake sat down before Tiffany again, the latter suddenly asked with a smile, "Do you think a murder can be forgiven?"

Jake replied, "Even if it can't be forgiven, you'll feel better after saying it out."

Tiffany pressed her lips. After a long while, she nodded and said, "Yep. I will feel better after saying it out."

She kept silent for a while after saying those words and then incoherently told Jake about her past.

She started with how innocent and joyful she was when she married Blaine.

And then she told him how desolate she felt when she learned that the one Blaine loved was not her.

She told him that she was so naive to believe that Old Mr. Farrell really regarded her as his biological daughter.

She told him that she felt so resentful when she learned that Old Mr. Farrell was her enemy.

She told him many things. In the end, she mentioned Shepard.

Tiffany said, "He was the butler of the Farrell family at that time and my first paramour. Originally, I thought he really liked me, but later I found out that it was a trap set by Old Mr. Farrell."

Jake chimed in timely, "So, you killed him in a fit of anger, right?"

Tiffany shook her head and said, "Nah. It's a strange combination of coincidence. In the beginning, I didn't know that he was arranged by Old Mr. Farrell to approach me. I only learned about the truth after he died in a car accident."
