Chapter 593: [Bonus - ] You are evil
"You think doing this will make your mother proud? Well done, Silas. You’ve wasted all her efforts in giving you a better life and for you to not become like that monster who killed her — the same person who tried to kill an eight-year-old boy."
Silas and Dominic held each other’s gazes with one bearing a cold expression and the other with a look of denial.
"You’re lying." Silas shook his head in denial. "She isn’t that foolish —"
"Do you really think Grandma will not punish that man for what he had done to your mother, to the family, and to her grandsons?!" This time, Dominic raised his voice for the first time. "Wake up, Silas. We both cannot forgive that man. That man made my life a living hell, making me believe I’m not safe even in the comfort of my own home. I’ve kept thinking he would be back to finish the job — you’re not the only person that man betrayed, Silas."
Dominic’s fist trembled in anger, trying to knock some senses into this foolish man. "But for your mother, I had to set my feelings aside as the eldest, thinking you’ve already lived a tough life. You already lost your father while he was still alive, and then you had to stay with your mother’s lifeless body overnight."
"And now, you’re telling me you murdered my brother because you think your mother didn’t get justice?" His voice shook while grinding his teeth. "Silas, if there is someone who should be angry for not getting any justice, that should be me. Because of your mother’s wishes to give you a better chance in life, I had to live my life in fear."
"I should be the person who should be angry, not you." He shook his head mildly while keeping his eyes on Silas. "Yet I chose to let it go and move on. I chose to forgive you and give you another chance, hoping you’ve already got yourself together. You are a fool and a big disappointment."
Again, Silas and Dominic held each other’s gazes in quietness. Dominic’s voice was still echoing as the silence tried to replace it.
Primo whistled playfully, wiping his forehead lightly at the exchange that unfolded right before his eyes. "What a family drama!" he commented. "So you’re saying all this time, everything is just a mere misunderstanding?! Oh, come on! Silas, how could you!? Your family simply wants to protect you, but this is how you repay them?! What a disgusting human being you are!"
