Chapter 1055


    Chapter 1055 “Is it really you?” Ste couldn‘t believe it. “I thought you were in Compassvale!”


    “I was.” Riley looked at her with a calm face. She disyed no emotion as if she was looking at a


    stranger.


    “Ie back this time just to tell you something.” Ste clenched her fists as if she knew what Riley


    would say.


    “Roger is dead,” Riley stated indifferently.


    She saw Ste clench her fists quietly until her nails cut into her palms. Ste was shaking, forcing down


    the redness in her eyes and the turbulent emotions swirling in her heart.


    “Why don‘t you seem surprised?”


    Ste exhaled. “I know you are joking with me.”


    Sheughed, but the smile on her face was a little awkward.


    “Did you make a special trip home just to pull a prank on


    me?”


    Riley stepped forward. Her eyes were red. “I am not


    joking with you. You know well enough that I won‘t lie about something like this, don‘t you?”


    She grabbed Ste’s shoulders and looked into her eyes.” Roger just died yesterday. Do you know how


    he died?”


    Her voice was suddenly filled with hatred. “He‘s dead because of Weston!”


    Ste looked away, not daring to face her re. Riley pressed on. “We were obviously living a good life


    in Compassvale, but since hest disappeared for no reason, everything has changed...“. “Why won‘t he


    leave him alone? Why! What has he done wrong?”


    She had been waiting in Compassvale for Roger‘s return, but the news of his death arrived instead.


    She heard that he was trapped in the delta and tried everything to get his family to get him back with


    their influence.


    But still, he was found by Weston first.


    “Why didn‘t he spare Roger??? Why? He is your man, Roger‘s brother–inw! I really cannot


    understand why he has to push him over the edge!”

    Riley was almost hysterical. “You are his sister! Why didn‘t you protect him? Why?!?! Why did you just


    watch Weston drive him to his death?”


    Her questions were like a shower of swords, stabbing into Ste‘s heart without warning.


    She could no longer lie to herself nor escape anymore.


    She burst into tears and started crying. “It‘s my fault. It’s all my fault...”


    She closed her eyes, and her ears were flooded with the sound of the recording.


    She didn‘t expect that her submission and forbearance that was intended to let Roger live a brand new


    life would make him feel that he was a burden. She didn‘t expect that he wouldn’t hesitate to end his life


    in exchange for her escape from the prison.


    Had she known it would be like this, she should have fought her way out and escaped with Roger...


    So what if Weston recaptured her?


    Even if he would threaten her, so what?


    Could it have ended any worse than it did? It couldn‘t.


    Riley, on the other hand, had gradually calmed down.


    She took a deep breath. “It seems you already know about this. I came here this time just to tell you.”


    She was in love with Roger, and Ste was his most beloved sister, so she couldn‘t really hate her no


    matter how she tried.


    Maybe, she was just projecting her anger onto Ste.


    However, she knew that it would not be something Roger would want to see.


    Ste closed her eyes tightly, but the tears only kept flowing harder.


    Her voice was so hoarse she could only repeat these exact words: “It‘s my fault...”


    Riley watched as she slumped herself against the wall, squatting slowly, and shot her a condescending


    look.


    “He might be dead, but do you really want him to die in vain?”


    Ste stared into the void with her red eyes. After a long time, she shook her head slowly.
