Chapter 1179


    Chapter 1179 Go Back On His Word


    Stefan clenched his teeth in fury as he recounted the night. His eyes were bloodshot from the rage he


    was feeling.


    As for Sally, disbelief was written all over her face.


    She had always believed that Marcus had sacrificed himself to save Gerald, so Gerald had brought


    Stefan home to raise him. She thought the reason Gerald was always nice to Stefan and never had the


    heart to hit him was because of the guilt he felt.


    As it turned out, she was partially correct. Gerald did feel guilty, but the guilt stemmed from directly


    causing the death of his friend.


    Stefan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before continuing, “During that time, I felt as


    though I was living in a daze. I loathed Gerald. I wanted to kill him, but he had raised me. Besides, my


    real father is dead. What good would revenge do? So I pretended. I pretended not to know the truth


    and forgave him. Yet, he had the audacity to go back on his word.”


    He looked at Sally. Hatred filled his eyes as he bared his teeth. “I told him that I like you and that I don''t


    want you to marry Ethan. He said okay, yet after a while, he went to find Ethan. He even told me that


    you could only ever be my sister. Once you''ve married Ethan, it would be easier for me to get promoted


    once I join the army. It was only then I found out that Ethan had decided to return from the frontlines


    and take over Robert''s position so that he could marry you.”


    Sally tightened her grip on the nket. Her pitch-ck eyes stared frostily into Stefan''s. “So you killed


    him?”


    “It was Gerald''s fault for going back on his word! It was Ethan''s fault foring back and dreaming of


    marrying you!” Stefan roared like a lion that had gone mad.


    “He killed my dad! He made me an orphan! He''s supposed to give you to me aspensation! How


    dare he try to take you away from me?”


    Before knowing the truth, Sally hade up with countless theories about Ethan''s death. Never would


    she have imagined the killer of her one true love would be the brother she had raised herself.


    Gerald must have guessed the killer the moment he saw the bullet casing, but he had chosen not to tell


    her.


    Seeing the tears rolling out of Sally''s eyes, Stefan leaned closer and wiped away her tears with his


    fingers. “Sally, you''re mine. You told me that you''ll always be by my side. You must not go back on your

    word.”


    Sally tried her best to turn her face away, but try as she might, she could not free herself from his


    touch.


    “Get lost,” Sally hissed through her teeth. “Run as far as you can. Otherwise, once I can move again, I


    will kill you!”


    Ignoring her, Stefan brushed his thumb across her cool lips as his expression darkened. “You''re mine,”


    he whispered. “Mine.”


    With that, he leaned down and kissed her on the lips.


    It was already hard enough for Sally to talk, so her closed lips were easily parted with minimal effort


    from Stefan.


    She was like a dead fish on a chopping board, helpless and motionless.


    On the other hand, Cooper had never expected Stefan to be so insane. He wanted to move, but he,


    too, had been injected with anesthetics. He waspletely paralyzed.


    Without any other n, he could only mock Stefan. “What a meaningless life you have, Stefan. No


    father, no mother, and now you''re despised by your only sister. Even if Ethan is dead, he''s still the only


    man she''ll ever love. That''s how cowardly and useless you are. Just look at you. The only way you can


    have her is by ying such a despicable trick.”


    Infuriated by Cooper''s mocking, Stefan grabbed themp by the bedside and hurled it at Cooper''s


    head. “Shut the f*ck up!”


    Themp was made out of ss. Upon the impact, Cooper''s head started to bleed, causing him to


    copse to the floor.


    As he watched Stefan returning to the bed and kissing Sally hungrily, Cooper felt suffocated by his


    disgust and heartache.


    He wanted nothing more than to shoot Stefan in the head, but he couldn''t. The only thing he could do


    was watch the scene unraveling in front of him.


    Sally could not speak, so she resorted to keeping her eyes open and staring at Stefan. Her cold gaze


    made Stefan ufortable, so he used a shirt to cover her eyes.


    Cooper had always felt something amiss with Stefan and had warned Sally about him, yet she had


    always ignored the warning, believing that Stefan was family.


    They were now facing the consequences of their choices.
