Chapter 229: Never Forgave Him for Surviving
This was bullshit!
Despite not knowing the truth behind Chairman Alvord’s claim, Lariette was absolutely certain about one thing. If it was true, Madeline and her mother, Felicia, wouldn’t welcome Ruediger with open hearts.
Whatever had happened before, Lariette believed Ruediger that the very young version of him wasn’t responsible in the incident. She had seen for herself how people openly distorted the facts because they couldn’t accept the truths.
The recent example was Stephanie. She was a willing party when having an affair with Leon. But once she was caught, she cried wolf, saying he blackmailed her from the beginning.
Lariette kept her gaze on Chairman Alvord. Curling her hands into fists, she restrained herself from unleashing her anger.
The atmosphere inside the limousine became more suffocating. The luxurious interior, with its pristine leather seats, felt like a cell as Lariette faced Chairman Alvord,
His emerald eyes were piercing cold, but they didn’t waver her belief.
"I don’t believe you, and I never will."
Lariette stated firmly, not showing even a hint of self-doubt with her declaration. She managed to confine the rage seething inside her from flaring its tendrils out.
Chairman Alvord’s expression hardened. He was not a man prone to outbursts, but the tightening of his jaw expressed his growing frustration.
"Miss Elsher, do you think I would lie about something like this? It’s my wife who I’m talking about, killed by my own son."
