“I’m here to look for my husband. What are you doing here?” I feigned ignorance and sounded impatient. On the surface, I was set up by Nathaniel and had no choice but to take his side, but it was him who had ruined my perfect husband after all, so of course, I would resent him.
I was not a kind woman. Nathaniel would soon discover that I could compromise, but I would always look down on him for what he had done.
“Who gave you the courage to be so impudent? There’s not even one person backing you up now,” Nora sneered.
“I’m a lot better than someone who can’t even draw lines between the good and bad.”
Although the Oberick family had not been doing well over the years, they still had a good reputation. Every heir of the Oberick family was upright and dignified. It was most likely that Nora had forgotten how admirable she used to be.
Rebecca grew up without a family, so it was understandable if she could not distinguish right from wrong. On the contrary, Nora was born into a wealthy family and had a fine education. But because of Armond, a man who had done all kinds of evil deeds, she stooped to join forces with Nathaniel.
She had the chance to live a meaningful life, but she had chosen the opposite. Such people were not worthy of sympathy.
“Who has the right to determine who’s right or wrong? I’m bad, but I was willing to take risks with my children for you and your husband’s sake. On the contrary, you pretended to be righteous but separated me from my children. Is this the so-called justice?” uttered Nora emotionally. Moments later, she gradually calmed down and lowered her head. “I truly despise people like you. Now that you’ve met your karma, it’s sufficient to prove that I’m right.”
“Not necessarily so.” Unwilling to admit defeat, I held my chin up.
Just then, the elevator door opened. Ashton, John, and Emma were inside.
Emery winked at me. Everyone had arrived.
