Chapter 392


    At the cafe.


    After finding a seat, she sat down and ordered herself a cup of strong coffee.


    As she gracefully stirred her coffee, I looked down at the ss of milk I ordered. To be honest, I had no


    interest in coffee; I just didn''t enjoy it.


    Looking at her, I couldn''t help but say, "You and your mother are really alike."


    They both liked strong coffee.


    She looked down at the coffee in her hand and seemed to understand what I meant. She asked, "How


    far exactly are you going to go?"

    I was stunned, and I didn''t know how to respond. "What?"


    She raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Calvin has been sentenced to death. Arnold is being


    investigated while my mother also got involved. If you''re looking to take revenge on me, wouldn''t my


    child and mother''s reputation suffice?"


    "No!" I replied coldly, "I had nothing to do with what happened to your child. Moreover, I don''t think


    killing a child would bring mefort. As for your mother, isn''t she currently safe and sound? She was


    just investigated. If she didn''t do anything, she would still be a rich woman and her reputation would still


    be intact. However, if she really did those filthy things to get to where she is, she would be found out


    sooner orter, wouldn''t she?"


    She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She said gloomily, "You will pay for this."


    Iughed. "How? You adore Hendrix, so your mother hurt my child and I, and now she is going to lose


    her reputation. I believe this is called karma and retribution, am I right?"


    She furiously picked up the coffee on the table and sshed it on me. Though it was not scalding hot,


    the coffee did end up staining my clothes.


    I remained unflinching as I let my eyes stay fixed on her.


    She stood up and red at me. "Arianna, you only lost one child, and you can have as many children


    as you want in the future, but what about the innocent people? What of Calvin''s life? And Arnold''s? And


    my mother''s future? She worked hard for so many years just to get ruined by you like this. Arianna,


    who do you think you are? You''re a vicious woman who''s ruined my rtionship, robbed me of the


    person I love, and destroyed my life - the life that my brother traded his for."


    I sneered as I wiped the coffee off my face with a tissue. "Innocent? If Calvin was innocent, then the


    few lives he had taken would be more innocent than him. Quit acting like you don''t know why he was


    sentenced to death. Arnold, innocent? What about all the people whose lives were affected by his


    money raids all these years? How many innocent people''s lives do you think were ruined by him? And


    calling your mother innocent? My, that''s even more ridiculous. Aren''t you aware of what she did to kill


    my child? Have you never wondered about all the nasty things she did to get to where she is today?"


    My smile grew colder. "As for your brother, yes, he was smart and knew that he didn''t have much time


    left. So, he entrusted you to Hendrix. His death isn''t anyone else''s fault; it was just his fate. However,


    he had also ruined Hendrix''s life. You love Hendrix, but have you ever asked him whether he loved you


    back?"


    Andrea bit down hard on her lip. Seeing her reaction, I smiled. "You know Hendrix doesn''t love you,


    right? He''s only carrying out this responsibility out of a sense of duty to your brother; because he


    promised your brother that he''d take care of you. So, with just a few words, he became a life- long


    burden to Hendrix. How is he innocent?"


    "Bullsh*t!" She was flooded with emotions. "Things aren''t like that at all! If you didn''t show up, Hendrix


    would have married me. It was because of you; your sudden appearance forced him into a dilemma."
