I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 459

"Grant, your deflections are always so incredibly stiff," Finn replied coldly. "You've never cared about my personal life. Why the sudden interest?"

Grant's face flushed and paled in rapid succession.

Finn stared him down.

"Since you refuse to tell the truth, then you can listen to me."

Finn sat down on the leather sofa, resting his hands casually on his knees.

"Decades ago, Percival Vance raised a daughter he named Maeve. It wasn't until she was eighteen that his biological daughter was found, revealing they had been switched at birth. The girl who grew up in hardship was renamed Yolanda. You and Maeve had feelings for each other. You promised to go to college together and get married after graduation. But when Yolanda approached you, you were swayed.

"Perhaps you realized who Maeve truly was. After weighing the pros and cons, you decided Yolanda offered more status and value. Regardless, you chose Yolanda. Maeve dropped out and left Metropolis, completely vanishing from everyone's radar."

The study was suffocatingly quiet.

Grant's fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Finn kept going, his voice devoid of emotion.

"I assume, years later, you ran into Maeve abroad. You either rekindled your romance, or..." He paused, his eyes narrowing to slits. "You forced yourself on her, against her will, and that resulted in me."

"No, it wasn't like that!"

Grant interrupted him, his voice suddenly rising, like a string that had finally snapped after being pulled too tight.

He gripped the armrests and forced himself to stand, his shoulders shaking violently.
