Chapter 275: The deep conspiracy
"What are you talking about?" Susan snapped defensively. "When did I ever lie to you?"
Oliver didn’t respond immediately. He simply stared at her, his eyes cold, hollowed out by regret. Then, slowly, his lips curled into a bitter smile.
"I believed every word you said," he murmured with scorn. "I trusted you... and doubted my wife. I turned my back on Margaret. I even cast away my own daughter. And all of it... was because of you."
His arm shot out, finger pointing squarely at her. "You lied to me. You handed me a fake DNA test report and made me believe Raya wasn’t my child."
His voice rose, laced with fury and pain. "You convinced me to go along with that damned kidnapping scheme. You made me abandon my little girl—she was just a baby. And you made me cold enough to leave her crying on the street like she meant nothing. How the hell could you do that to me? You destroyed everything I had."
Susan let out a cold, humorless laugh. "I ruined your family?" she spat. "No, Oliver. Don’t you dare pin this all on me. You cheated on your wife. You left Margaret when she was barely clinging to her sanity. You were the one who tossed aside your daughter. I might have nudged you a little, but you made those choices. You let it happen."
That was the final crack. Oliver’s control shattered.
With a strangled sound, he lunged across the room, his hand wrapping tightly around her throat. Susan’s eyes widened as her back hit the wall.
"You twisted everything," he growled, trembling with fury. "You fed me lies, poisoned my thoughts, and made me hate the two people I should have loved the most. You stole my family from me."
