You Faked Your Deaths to Punish Me?! That’s Illegal, Family! novel Chapter 88

Chapter 6

Grandpa Bryant wasn’t just an elder of the Bryant family-he was the lifeline of the entire clan.

With him gone, the Bryant family would inevitably collapse.

During his lifetime, the old man had gone to great lengths to make me marry Marcus, hoping my presence would command respect and maintain the family’s prestige.

Now his plans had been completely ruined by Marcus and Celeste.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Marcus snarled. “Didn’t you bring in a specialist? How could he die the moment he got on the operating table?”

“Start emergency treatment immediately-I’m bringing Aria back right now!”

“You were conned-that foreigner isn’t a specialist at all!”

The voice on the phone was filled with righteous indignation. “The moment he got on the operating table, he severed the old master’s main artery with one cut-there wasn’t even a chance for emergency treatment!”

“I looked into his credentials and discovered they’re all fake, along with his identity. He has no medical license at all! He’s a complete fraud! Where the hell did you find him?!”

Marcus’s body shook violently.

Like his soul had been sucked out, he collapsed on the ground.

Celeste, annoyed that he’d been staying by my side instead of looking at her, first shot me a dirty look, then swayed over and pressed against him.

As if deliberately putting on a show for me, she hugged the man.

“My manicure is getting old~ You’ve been with her so long, you owe me double compensation tonight!”

Marcus, who had just experienced the pain of losing family, stared blankly ahead.

Seeing Celeste press against him finally snapped him back to reality.

SLAP!

His hand struck Celeste across the face.

“Where did you find this foreign specialist?! TELL ME!”

“I-I used my connections, of course!” Celeste, still clueless, continued lying. “He’s the most authoritative specialist from abroad. I put in so much effort-”

SLAP!!

er smack.

want TRUTH!” Marcus roared. “Answer me-why were all his credentials fake? Why did he sever Grandpa’s main artery with one cut?!”

She looked completely bewildered.

After finally realizing what she’d done wrong, she burst into tears.

“Someone must be framing me!” she whimpered. “I really don’t know anything-I just wanted to save Grandpa…”

“It must be that fraud doctor fiancée of yours! It has to be her-only she could sabotage things at the hospital to hurt Grandpa! I really don’t know!”

Marcus turned and locked eyes with me.

“Did you do this?” His voice was ice cold.

Celeste looked at me, then at Marcus, suddenly understanding.

“You’re actually Marcus’s fiancée?!”

She couldn’t contain her glee, grabbing a bottle of mineral water that had been baking in the sun and pouring it over my face.

The hot water seeped into my wounds. The pain made my vision go black.

“It has to be her!” she shrieked with joy. “Make her pay for Grandpa’s life! Let’s see if she dares compete with me for the position of Mrs. Bryant again!”

I instinctively looked to Derek for help.

He was the only person here who might save me.

Noticing my gaze, Marcus actually blocked Derek from helping.

My heart, desperate to survive, immediately sank.

I suddenly understood-Marcus was just letting Celeste torture me.

With Grandpa dead, I was useless to him. The mistake his precious girl made could be pinned on me, making me take responsibility for everything!

He wasn’t unclear about Celeste hiring the wrong specialist.

Between the truth and her, he chose to protect her!
