Chapter 1963
He roared, then just as casually, he sat back down.
He let out a long breath.
“Well, you’ve got me busted, do whatever you want.” He leaned back in his chair, spreading his hands in a fearless gesture.
“Hector, do you really think I’m the cause of this tragedy?” Wayne asked, his voice deep and serious.
Hector half-closed his eyes, “What else could it be? Why do you think the Lawrence family was forced to make a choice? Why do we dare not bring Lizzy back even after you lost your memory?”
He looked up at Wayne, “Because I know how ruthless you can be.”d2
“But still, it was your choice.” Wayne retorted mercilessly, “You’re clever enough to find many ways to gain freedom for your sister, but you never tried. Do you need me to spell out the reason?”
“Wayne, don’t twist the facts here, are you trying to make me, the victim, bear your guilt?” Hector shouted angrily.
Wayne remained still, unfazed.
“You’ve been working for me for many years, you should know my temperament and character very well.” Wayne continued, “Would I really annihilate your sister? Isn’t the reason you refused to bring her out because you’re afraid that she would cause you more trouble? I guess, that’s what you told your grandparents too, right?”
Wayne paused for a moment.
Then he continued in a calm and emotionless voice, “You said: Wayne didn’t say she could come out, so she can’t. If she was sneaked out and Wayne found out, the Lawrence family would still be in trouble.”
Hector’s face turned pale, then it flushed to his ears.
“As for whether your sister is crazy or not, it’s clearly written in the hospital records.”
Hector’s breathing became more rapid.
“And this.” Wayne reached into his pocket and pulled out a small remote control.
He then turned on the LCD screen in the room, Hector and Rosalynn both looked at the screen.
Lizzy’s face appeared on the screen, much thinner than before, her complexion pale without a trace of color.
“What is this?” Hector asked, looking anxiously at Wayne.
“It’s the surveillance from her hospital room.” Wayne answered.
Hector’s breathing became even more rapid.
Then he heard Lizzy’s voice, “Hector, you’ll be here soon. This time, will you take me home?”
