Love After Leaving. No Regret

Chapter 196 A Narrative Turned Against Her

“My mother didn’t just pass away; she was killed. And even in the face of her killer, I chose to endure in silence. So tell me, why would I lose control over something so trivial?”

At those words, Calvin’s expression suddenly tightened. His body stiffened, and a faint tremor ran through him.

Seeing that her father still hadn’t reacted, Monica grew anxious. She decided to go all in, throwing caution to the wind.

“Agnes, I know why you hate me so much. It’s not just because of what happened in the fitting room that day.

“I didn’t want to say this, but now I have no choice. You’re jealous of the relationship between Raymond and me.”

A wave of shock rippled through the room as all eyes turned to her. This involved the Newtons

too?

Back then, when Agnes’s mother passed away, she had gone to see Judy.

She and Raymond had registered their marriage hastily, and they didn’t even hold a wedding.

Many people in Grandridge had assumed Raymond was single and only had a known ex, Hillary.

There had also been rumors that the Newtons and Hales once considered a marriage alliance.

But after the Hales relocated to Haanburg, the matter faded away, and no one spoke of it again.

Now that Monica brought it up, some of the guests began to remember.

Monica continued, looking straight at Agnes.

“You’re jealous. You’re jealous of me. Raymond treats me well, and that hurts you.

“Yes, you had a past with him, but now, he’s single again.

“And now, he’s pursuing me. Look at this bracelet on my wrist. That’s the best proof.

“This is something I mentioned to him a long time ago, and he remembered it all this time.

“Giving me this bracelet is his way of confessing his feelings. Agnes, the past is the past.

“No matter how angry you are, how jealous you feel, or how much you try to hurt me, he will

never go back to you.

Raymond and I truly love each other. Please, Agnes, please just give us your blessing!”

The crowd erupted into whispers.

“I remember now! Years ago, the Newtons and the Hales were planning a marriage alliance. It was supposed to be her and Raymond!”

“Wait, didn’t she just say Ms. Sinclair also had a past with him? I thought it was that other woman, Hillary?”

“A man like Raymond having a few relationships is hardly surprising.”

“Now it all makes sense. No wonder Ms. Sinclair won’t let go. She even came all the way just to make trouble.

“Who wouldn’t want to marry into the Newton family? That’s a prize worth fighting for.”

“Exactly. But Ms. Sinclair is pretty bold. She’s got some nerve.”

“So does this mean Monica and Raymond are actually together now? Wow, since when?

“Have they been secretly dating? Is this going public tonight?”

Calvin looked stunned as he turned to his daughter.

“Monica, are you and Raymond together?”

Monica lowered her head slightly, her voice soft but firm. “Dad, I wasn’t sure about his feelings before.

“But today, when I saw this bracelet, I finally understood that his heart has always been with me.

“But this Ms. Sinclair keeps clinging to him, refusing to let go. That’s why she hates me.

“She wishes I would disappear and keeps targeting me. And today, she even dared to hurt me in our home, at your birthday banquet.

“Dad, don’t you understand yet? Why aren’t you calling the police?”

Calvin hesitated, but her words seemed to make sense. Back then, the two families had indeed discussed a marriage.

Could it be that the two of them had stayed in contact all along?

Agnes let out a cold laugh as she watched the crowd fully buy into Monica’s story.

“If that’s the case, then go ahead and call the police. I didn’t do it, and I stand by that.

“As for everything Ms. Hale just said, it’s completely baseless.

“Yes, Raymond and I had a past. But that ended a long time ago, and we parted on good terms. If he has a new relationship, I sincerely wish him happiness.”
