Chapter 1052


    Chapter 1052 Ste looked at the recorder on the table and asked, “ Why are you telling me all


    these?”


    Michael thought for a while, then sighed and said, “ Although you hate me to the core and want Diana


    to know about those mistakes I made when I was young and brazen, I am still your uncle. And Roger’s


    as well. He was not your parents’ biological son but watching him grow up, I still have some feelings for


    him …”


    “There is no need to say such grandiose things !” Ste snapped; her voice cold and stiff. “What exactly


    do you want to say? Just say it.”


    Michael stared into her eyes, knowing that she had reached the limit of repression.


    He picked up his coffee and took an unhurried sip. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that I spent so much


    time finding him, yet all he wants to do is to end himself, so it seems my purpose is defeated…”


    She remained silent when her face grew paler and paler until it almost became transparent.


    “Ste, I really don’t want to be in a hostile rtionship with you all the time.”


    He sighed lightly. “Before Roger died, he asked me to do


    something. If you promise me that you will keep my secret and never tell Diana about it, I will tell you.


    How does that sound?” Ste red at him coldly. “Are you threatening me?” “Of course not. This is


    just an exchange. It’s fair and square, isn’t it?”

    Michael looked at her in anticipation. “As long as you promise me, it will be good for both of us. Ste,


    as long as you say yes, you will get what you want, my Diana will forever be a happy woman, and none


    will be the wiser.”

    She sneered. “But that’s just a lie.”


    “Even if it is, what is wrong with living under the lie of happiness?”


    Ste withdrew her hands and put them on the table, sping them tightly.


    After a while, she said hoarsely, “Okay, I promise you.”

    Michael was instantly relieved. “Remember our promise.”


    He stood up and was about to leave when Ste called out to him. “Did you forget something?”


    “No, I didn’t.”


    Michael swept a nce at her. “It’s your birthday in two days. Roger has prepared a birthday present


    for you.”


    He paused momentarily and said, “He said that it was the


    After he said that, he chuckled. “If I didn’t know that you two shared such strong sibling rtionships, I


    would have suspected that kid had a thing for you.”


    Ste’s eyes fluttered , but her face remained calm. “Is that all?”


    He nodded. “That’s all.”


    After he left, Ste was the only one who remained in the private room.


    She just sat there motionlessly.


    The recorder was still on the table. She wanted to pick it up and listen to it but failed to gather the


    courage to do so.


    Perhaps, when grief reached a certain degree, it would turn into cowardice.


    She just wanted to escape at this very moment.


    Ste took a deep breath. Finally, she yed the recorder with her trembling hand


    “Sister, when you are listening to this, I should have been no longer alive…”


    After hearing the first sentence, Ste couldn’t help


    sobbing She shut her eyes as tightly as she could, but tears still flowed out.


    “Actually, I always knew that Weston was using me to threaten you… When you chased me away, it is


    because you didn’t want to get me involved , right? I knew it all along.”
