Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485

Following Vincent's confession, the ugly truth, which had been deeply buried for years, was finally brought to light again.

Lionel's mother, Constance, and Fiona were bosom friends. For decades, they were as close as blood-related sisters. Their deep bond remained the same even after their marriage.

A few years back, the two families had been considered good friends. Both parties even intended for Lionel and Victoria to marry each other. That way, their relationship could grow closer than just friends.

However, things began to change when Constance was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

Because of the illness, she became pale and lost a lot of weight in a short time. She was no longer as radiant and beautiful as she was before. That was when Benjamin began to get funny ideas and had his eyes on other women, which soon became a common occurrence.

What made it more outrageous was how Benjamin acted one way to somebody's face and another to somebody's back. His actions were purely hideous and revolting.

In front of everybody, he was a warm and caring husband who was extremely attentive to his sick wife. He perfectly showcased what a model couple was like, and his behavior undoubtedly touched the hearts of many.

But behind everyone's back, he was the complete opposite. He kept mistresses and fooled around with many women. He lived his life as if Constance was already dead.

Later, Constance gradually felt that Benjamin had changed. Nonetheless, she did not share her woes with her son. Since she had no confidants around her to vent her grievances, she could only share them with Fiona.

Fiona had an impatient character. After learning about Benjamin's inhuman acts, she was infuriated and declared that she would gather evidence of him having affairs and publicize it so that his reputation would be torn to shreds.

After several days of investigations, she successfully collected enough evidence. Unfortunately, she was murdered before she could even reveal the contents.

Everyone believed that Fiona had fallen off the cliff while driving because of faulty brakes on her car.

Of course, that was also the result of the police investigations.

However, Constance later found out that her best friend's death was all pre-planned by Benjamin.

Worried that he would lose everything after Fiona revealed the videos, Benjamin had ordered someone to tamper with the brakes on her car, thus leading to the accident.

Constance was overwhelmed with guilt toward her best friend after learning about the truth. Yet, she dared not expose Benjamin's wrongdoings at the thought of Lionel.
