Chapter 886


    After warning her, Bernard didn’t waste time beating around the bush with Donna. He cut to the chase


    I’m here for two things. If you y it straight with me, I won’t interfere with your brother’s plea for a


    reduced sentence. But if you y coy, III p more charges on him, maybe enough to get him the


    death penalty.”


    Donna’s brother had tried to drown him in a swimming pool when he was five, and Bernard was not


    about to let bygones be bygones. Now he could use her brother as leverage to squeeze the truth out of


    Donna, which was a fair deal in his books


    Donna didn’t have much of a soft spot, but her little brother, who had always been at her beck and call


    was her Achilles heel. So she took the bait: “What do you want to know?”


    Bernard asked coldly. “First off, did you start the fire that killed my father?”


    Hearing that, Donna caught on quick: “So, you’ve figured out who your birth mother is?”


    Eleanor, hearing this, shot Donna a surprised look, then turned to Bernard.


    No wonder Donna had always treated him so harshly, she wasn’t his birth mother after all.


    And it all made sense why Bernard hade to visit Donna in prison right after his chat with ke


    Eleanor got the drift, but if Donna wasn’t his mother, then who was?


    Bernard didn’t spill any beans about his mother to Eleanor; he just demanded, “Answer me, did you or


    didn’t you?”


    Donna didn’t answer, she just smirked at Bernard and said, “Since you’ve figured it out, why don’t you


    tell me, was it right or wrong for your father to cheat on your mother after their marriage?”


    Eleanor was taken aback again. If his father had cheated on his mother, then Bernard was a love child.


    It wasn’t something Bernard would have wanted to say in front of Eleanor, but he knew he couldn’t


    dodge the bullet. But it wasn’t fair that he had to pay for his parents‘ sins,


    was it?


    And considering all the abuse he had suffered growing up and everything he cared about being


    destroyed, hadn’t he paid his dues already? Then who would stand up for him? Seeing Bernard’s


    silence, Donna knew he was at a loss for words, and that was enough for her: “Your father cheated


    after marriage, don’t you think he deserved to die?”


    Her tant admission gave Bernard a new perspective on her “So you wanted to burn him alive


    because he asked for a divorce and you didn’t agree?”

    Donna scoffed “Do you think I wanted him dead from the start? It was his constant betrayal that made


    me want to burn him alive.”


    Donna heaved a sigh. “The world doesn’t punish unfaithful men and their mistresses, so I had to take


    matters into my own hands. I just wanted to kill Leonard Laurence’s woman, humiliate his son, and


    watch him die. I was only doing justice; do you think I was wrong?”


    Now, Bernard was nothing but calm towards Donna. “It’s ke’s fault. He tore my parents apart, and


    he hurt you.”


    This was the first time Bernard had spoken to her so calmly, which took Donna aback. However, his


    acknowledgement of her pain eased her rage somewhat: “If you had been like this when you were a


    kid, maybe I would have treated you better.”
