The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 299

Adrian shoved Jocelyn away.

"You tricked me?"

Jocelyn wiped the tears from her cheeks, her eyes turning ice-cold.

"My intuition was right. It really was Claire."

Every trace of tenderness vanished from Adrian's face.

"Jocelyn, I seriously underestimated you. That was quite a performance."

"But so what? What does anything I just said actually prove?"

Jocelyn let out a bitter, mocking laugh.

Raising her hand, she slapped Adrian across the face with everything she had.

"Adrian! Are you even human?! Are human lives really that worthless to you?!"

Adrian ran his tongue over his lip.

Jocelyn grabbed him by the collar, clutching the fabric in a death grip.

"Adrian! Your sister is a murderer, and you covered it up! That makes you an accomplice! Everyone in the Lowell family is a monster! A bunch of cold-blooded monsters!"

Jocelyn's eyes were bloodshot. The sheer volume of rage and agony tearing through her chest made it impossible to control her emotions any longer.

Adrian pried her hands off him and gave her a hard shove.

"Jocelyn! I know you're grieving! But you can't just pin the blame on Claire and my family! Your mother's death had absolutely nothing to do with Claire!"

Jocelyn caught her balance against the cabinet behind her.

"Hah. I know you'd never admit to it on the record. That wasn't the point of today. I just needed to know for sure if I was right."

"Adrian! I'm not letting this go! I am going to find the evidence, I'm going to bring your precious sister to justice, and I am going to put her behind bars!"

Adrian wasn't worried in the slightest.

"Fine. Good luck finding your evidence."

Jocelyn gritted her teeth, glaring at him with enough hatred to burn a hole straight through his face.

They stood there, locked in a tense standoff.

Slowly, Adrian's anger began to ebb, replaced once again by pity.

Seeing how utterly exhausted and shattered she looked, he just couldn't bring himself to be cruel to her.
