The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1459

Chapter 1459 

“Edith, how could you be so suspicious of your own mother?” Edward stepped forward once again to defend his wife. 

“She did try to break you and Anthony apart back then, but later on she saw Anthony’s efforts and thought he was not bad, so she relented,” he explained. 

Edith ignored Edward and stared at Kate. 

In their household, Kate was the one in charge, not Edward. 

Edward, being the youngest son of Dominic and protected by his four older brothers, had an easy life. He mated the person he liked and had a gentle and agreeable nature, always following his wife’s lead. 

Whatever Kate said, that was how it was. This made Edward naturally side with his wife, placing her as the top priority. 

Kate knew that she was waiting for an answer from herself. 

She tightly held Edith’s hand, gazing into those swollen, teary eyes and sighed deeply. 

“I didn’t know that Anthony’s grandmother committed suicide because of me. If I had known, I would have told you the truth 

back then.” 

“Why did someone have to die before you told me the truth?” 

“I…” 

Facing her daughter’s questioning, Kate felt ashamed and lowered her head. 

“I didn’t want to ruin the image you had of me, so I didn’t say anything. I thought that if Anthony could win you back, that past would gradually fade away with time…” 

She never expected that Anthony would keep it a secret for her, nor did she expect that Edith would never forgive him… 

Thinking about this, Kate tightened her grip on Edith’s hand and pleaded, “Now that you know it was me who forced him to break up, please forgive him. Be with him and have a good future together. I will no longer oppose you. Okay?” 

After a cold laugh, Edith shook off her hand. “Do you think we can still be together?” 

Her parents, even though they didn’t directly kill Anthony’s grandmother, were indirectly responsible. Kate, who could walk over someone’s dead body without remorse, wanted them to reconcile and be together again, but Edith couldn’t do it.
