Chapter 295
But when she thought about all the crap Sarah had been through over the years, Nina just couldn’t hold herself togeth
She was so lost in her emotions that she didn’t even realize Sarah was standing right outside.
Seeing, Nina stay silent, Sarah grabbed her hand, her voice shaking with desperation. “Nina, tell me the truth. I have to
know
Sarah just couldn’t wrap her head around it.
I buried Samuel myself. How could he still be alive? Sarah thought, her thoughts in chaos.
“Then who was it I buried all those years ago?” she wondered, her heart racing in her chest.
Sarah suddenly burst into tears, her voice shaking with heartbreak. “Why? I just want to know why! I gave him the best of my life, and he went and faked his death just to trick me…”
Sarah was choking on her sobs, unable to get the words out, and Nina felt like her heart was being ripped apart, the pai sharp she could barely breathe.
Nina supported Sarah, her voice rough with emotion. ‘Grandma, please, don’t be like this…”
Ryan steadied Sarah from the other side, and together with Nina, they gently helped her into the room.
Ryan poured Sarah a glass of water and spoke softly, “Grandma, Nina and I will take care of everything. Please, let us har 1, okay? You don’t have to worry about this anymore.”
No!” Sarah shook her head, her voice trembling with rage and heartbreak. “I need to know the truth! Ryan, Nina, I may ! old, but I can still take up a knife.
I’ve been lied to for decades, living like a joke, with no shred of dignity left. I want revenge. If I can’t get it, I won’t be abl lie in peace.”
Ryan didn’t say a word, instead turning to Nina for guidance.
He was at a loss about what to do in this situation, too.
He was mostly worried that if Sarah found out the truth, she might get so upset she’d collapse or something.
Vina didn’t say a word, hesitating, her mind a mess.
Sarah was getting old, and Nina was honestly scared that if she told her the truth, Sarah just wouldn’t be able to handle it. After thinking it over for a long time, Nina finally spoke up, her voice low and shaky. “It’s my grandpa. He’s not dead”
n the end, she decided to come clean and tell Sarah the truth.
Even if Nina didn’t say anything, once Sarah got suspicious, she’d definitely start looking into it herself.
f Sarah really started digging on her own, things would spiral out of Nina’s hands
So, Nina thought, she might as well come clean and tell Sarah herself.
Sarah started trembling all over, her voice barely holding together. “He… he did all this for Yusra?”
Nina nodded silently, her heart heavy.

Sarah didn’t really know the whole story about Yusra, so she asked, her voice trembling, “Nina, is Yusra really not a good person, like you said?”
Nina paused for a moment, then spoke softly. ‘Grandma, he’s not worth your pain. From now on, just live for yourself. 1 don’t need to worry about anything. I’ve got you.”
Sarah gave a bitter laugh. “Of course I’m sad. How could I not be? We’re talking about decades here, not just a couple of All my friends envied me for having a man who treated me like a queen.
“But in the end, it was all a lie. For all these years after he ‘died, it was that love that kept me going…”
I don’t even know what I’m feeling right now, Sarah thought, her mind a mess. ‘Sadness, for sure. But there’s also hate, r bitter hate I can’t let go of
Samuel had turned her entire life into a joke.
Nina and Ryan wanted to comfort her, but the words caught in their throats. They just couldn’t get anything out.
What could we even say? they both thought, feeling utterly useless.
Anything they said now would just be pointless talk.
Sarah got up, walked over to the window, and stared out at the sky. She didn’t say a thing, and Nina and Ryan just let her! Nobody said a word. The whole place went dead quiet.
After a long silence. Sarah turned around, her grief seeming to vanish in an instant. She spoke quietly to Nina, her voice steady, “Nina, help me clear out all your grandpa’s things.
‘Since this marriage was nothing but a lie, there’s no reason to keep any of it. I’m going to pack. We’re leaving for Betrico tonight.
Sarah couldn’t bear to stay here another minute.
Just being in this room made her feel restless and uncomfortable, like she couldn’t breathe.
Nina replied softly, “Okay, Grandma.”
After Sarah left, Nina and Ryan headed to the storage room and had the servants bring everything out into the yard.
Anna had just finished telling everyone they’d be heading to Betrico with Sarah. When she got back home, she couldnt believe her eyes because the yard was packed with all of Samuel’s stuff.
These are all things Sarah cherishes, Why did Nina have people bring everything out here Anna thought, totally confused Before Anna could even get a word out, Nina threw the torch straight onto Samuel’s old things, setting the whole pale ablaze Anna was so shocked she rushed over, yelling, “Nina, what are you doing? These are all Sammel’s things! Why are you setting them all on fire? Quick, someone! Put out the fire, now!
