Chapter 193
Susan was so angry that she laughed. “Do you think she is playing triks on you? Is there something wrong with your brain? Have you forgotten how you beat her? How your fiancee and your cousin bullied her? She was already in the last stage of heart failure and you slammed a nail into the back of her head. Do you think she could have survived that?”
Susan almost bellowed. In the end, she suddenly broke down in tears. When she thought about how Scarlett had been so cruelly beaten before she left this world, she was in unbearable agony “Sebastian Jackman, how could you be so heartless? Before Scarlett passed away, she even wrote a will for you…”
The angry and resentful cries on the other side of the line made Sebastian’s heart tighten uncontrollably
He tried to rem in his emotions, yet found it harder than usual to do so.
The more he tried to control them, the more panic he felt in his heart until he eventually stopped caring about the rampant feelings.
He clenched his phone and asked coldly. “What’s with the nail in the back of her head?”
Susan thought he was too cowardly to accept responsibility. She clenched her jaw and exclaimed angrily, “Dr. Lanny found a nail in Scarlett’s skull when she arrived. If it hadn’t been there, she could have moved and wouldn’t have bled out and the heart failure wouldn’t have worsened. You Jackmans are pretending to be blameless, but Scarlett didn’t deserve any of this!”
After roaring in one breath, Susan hung up the phone and blocked Sebastian right away.
Sebastian looked at the dark screen in a daze. After a few minutes of silence….
The tall, straight figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly trembled, unable to hold himself up any longer and collapsing limply.
Holding the glass in one hand, he steadied himself, yet all he could envision was Scarlett lying on the ground.
