Chapter 104: Frail
"I killed your parents, is that why?" Leander asked.
Viviana bowed her head not wanting to look at his face.
"Look at me!" he shouted.
Viviana looked at him.
"Shall I tell you a truth, Leander? I know you didn’t kill my parents," she said and watched his eyes turn redder. "I’ll tell you, that’s not what I told everyone though. Every one of my friends believed it was your plan. I wanted them to."
"But I did though," Leander said with a shrug. He knew it would enrage her but she turned calmer as she talked about it.
And is she telling him that she is a manipulator?
"Explosives, fire... I know that’s not how you operate. You are more of a breaking bones kind of guy, threatening the family kind of guy, and the one who puts bullets in the brain," she let out a deep breath. "You did pull the rug over it. You are a co-conspirator in the cover-up. But the Heberden Blowout as you people mention it... the orders were of that wicked old man, weren’t it?" she asked.
She had a pretty strong hunch although there was no proof of it. Even she had to believe that Leander was the one who planned on it. But judging by the calmness in his eyes, she could say that her hunch was right.
"He! How does it feel to be the fall guy all the time? You, the lion, the shield... But you are actually the doormat, aren’t you? All you do is bend over and let them wipe their shit on your back..." She scoffed.
