Chapter 1604


    Chapter 1604


    As she reminisced about the past, the smile that she tried to hide was all too visible to Ste. Ste had


    a vague inkling that whether it was during their pup period when she encouraged her to get close to


    Eric, or as they grew older when she manipted her into falling for Eric, it was all part of Karen’s n.


    Even theter harm inflicted upon her, which she med on Eric, was just because Karen knew that


    Thomas wanted Eric to be the heir…


    She was ultimately just a pawn in Karen’s hands…


    Yet, the person who treated her as a pawn was still holding her hand and shifting the me onto


    others.


    “No matter when it started, you have to know that it was Eric who provoked me first. From the moment I


    stepped into the picture, he constantly insulted me and even called me a homewrecker in private. If you


    want to me someone, me him.”


    Ste curled her lips in a bitter smile and suddenly burst intoughter.


    “Aren’t you the homewrecker?”


    With tears in her eyes, she stared at her unfamiliar aunt.


    “In order to escape the identity of a small-town girl, you climbed


    into Thoma s’s bed, knowing full well that he was mated. Eric saw you wearing his mother’s clothes,


    fooling around with his father in his mother’s room. He hated you for that. And what’s more, you


    forcefully moved into the Sinir pack, driving his mother crazy to the point where she jumped off a


    building. Who else should he me if not you?”


    These things were what Ste had heard from others as she grew older, and even though her


    worldview had been greatly shaken at the time, she still chose to believe Karen’s exnations.


    After all, Karen’s excuse was that she had no power or influence, and she couldn’t escape from


    someone as powerful as Thomas.


    But now, Ste realized that Karen was truly talented. She could turn ck into white. At that time, she


    was even grateful to her aunt…


    If the harm Eric caused her was a score of ten thousand, then Karen’s was a hundred thousand. The


    gentle and kind aunt that she believed in turned out to be a facade… Even the love she showed her


    was just a lie…


    No wonder Eric treated her like that. How could she not treat Eric well while secretly tormenting him?


    Karen hadn’t read many books, but she had exceptional acting skills…


    She pretended to care about Eric on the surface but tortured him behind his back. She deceived Ste


    from beginning to end, there was nothing truthful about her…


    Ste’s heart ached so much that it felt like it was bleeding. This truth, presented in front of her, was


    more painful than death itself because she truly regarded Karen as her mother, a mother who


    had redeemed her…


    Ste couldn’t control herself anymore. She raised her hand and covered her tearful eyes. How could


    Karen be so cruel? Why did she treat her as a mere pawn, a pawn she had used for over twenty


    years? How could she hurt her like this…


    “As I’ve told you, Thomas forced me into this. I didn’t willingly be the homewrecker…”


    Hearing such a deceitful excuse, Ste stopped talking. Arguing with someone of twisted morals would


    only make her seem foolish.


    She wiped away her tears, pushed away the hand that had been covering hers, and slowly stood up,


    supporting herself against the edge of the sofa…


    There was no need to ask anymore. Those people who fell into the water by ident, Eric must have


    sent someone to get rid of them after he found out about his own gang rape. The others who escaped


    and were imprisoned, Karen must have bribed them not to speak.


    Only Karen knew, but she wouldn’t tell Ste. After those thugs were released from prison, Eric sent


    people to kill them.


    At the tim


    thugs sought refuge with her, threatening


    to expose the truth if she didn’t give them money to leave the country. In order to keep them under


    control, Karen used Bart’s ount to transfer money and help them escape.


    Eric never investigated the thugs’ ounts at that time; he just sent people to track them down and


    have them killed. Most of the idental deaths of those thugs were the result of Eric’s actions.


    Eric probably never expected that because of his hatred, he not only solved her hidden dangers but


    also allowed her to reap the benefits.


    Karen thought of this and looked up at Ste, who had turned to grab her bag.


    “Ste, I’ve never killed anyone. Even if you know the truth, you can only hate me, but I will never face


    legal consequences for these old matters.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
