Lara yelled, ‘Stop with the nonsense! What evidence do you have?” However, her words just sounded like a dog barking, as everyone simply ignored her.
Everyone had their gazes fixed on Edward, who hadn’t said a word in a long while. Indeed, if Ellen had set the fire to capture his heart, then why was he grateful to Lara?
It was because after Lara returned, Edward still didn’t manage to get a divorce, so Ellen drugged him and they ended up having Brian. Because of this preconceived impression, he accepted Lara’s provocation and hated Ellen to the core, feeling that his life had been ruined by her to the point where he didn’t like Eugene and Brian. He disliked Brian, in particular, because he felt that it was a betrayal toward Lara.
However, he never thought that the woman was probably just using that method to keep him by her side. What had he done? He plotted a scene of Ellen cheating and forced her to divorce him and she even ended up dying at Lara’s hands.
Lara was the one who directed that scene and Edward had liked her even more because of that scene where he didn’t think he could live without her. For so many years, he had been spoiling her and treating her as his savior, but how was he supposed to believe her now?
No matter how capable Eugene was, it was impossible for him to look for so many people to speak for him. The disappointment Edward felt was magnified. What he thought was affection and righteousness turned out to just be a conspiracy.
He stared at Lara with red-rimmed eyes. “You staged the entire incident and pitted her against me. Even if you wanted to be with me, why did you kill Ellen? We were already divorced!”
Lara initially wanted to make up more lies, but seeing that Edward already believed it, she simply gave up and sneered. “It’s hard to guarantee that you won’t rekindle your old feelings. Ellen is so shameless, and she even stalked you at school. I was better rest assured when she was dead.”
