As soon as Sean’s words left his lips, Laura was shocked. What was he trying to say? He had a stake in what happened back then.
“What happened back then is in the past; what ra went through was so pathetic; let’s just forget about it and pretend it never happened.”
Fearing that Sean would say something he shouldn’t, Laura hurriedly tried to stop the conversation. But her panic instead made Horace suspicious.
Sean threatened himself with the video of ra’s defilement in the first ce, and if nothing had happened, Sean would have never brought it up again in his life.
And now Laura’s reaction to hearing about it was so violent, was there something hidden back then that he didn’t know about?
“What happened back then?” Horace asked as he stared at Sean, his gaze so sharp and extraordinary that he surprisingly gave Sean the feeling that he had nowhere to hide.
“Horace, what happened back then is in the past. It’s better not ask.” Laura slid her wheelchair in front of Horace and barely managed a smile on her beautiful face. “ra wouldn’t want us to talk about what happened anymore.”
But Horace ignored Laura; he just kept his eyes on Sean, waiting for his following words. Since he hade to talk about it today, he was sure he wouldn’t just say half of it.
Now that the words were out of his mouth, there was no more room for manoeuvre. Turning his head to look at Laura, Sean said ruthlessly, “Laura was the one who plotted with me to kidnap ra, and she was the one who took the video that I showed you!”
“You’re full of shit!” Laura shouted at Sean, her face growing white, and then looked to Horace in a panic and exined, “Horace, don’t believe him. He’s deliberately framing me. I had nothing to do with ra’s kidnapping. Don’t believe him.”
“Shut up.” No anger, no fury; Horace looked at Laura and spat out those two words softly, then looked back at Sean, “Go on.”
His voice sounded light, but the slight trembling of his body and the tightly clenched fists revealed the anger he felt inside. what was going on here!
“Laura contacted me to n the kidnapping because she wanted to break you and ra up. She also promised me that she would find a way to help me get the shares of Kirnd Group in your hands after it was done.”
“That’s utter ndering. I didn’t say anything like that!” Laura was utterly at a loss for words and could only retort loudly and kept giving Sean a wink behind Horace’s back, signalling him to stop immediately.
But thinking about the threats ra had made to himself yesterday, Sean could only pretend he hadn’t seen them.
“I agreed and also helped tie ra up in the warehouse. Laura got four men from somewhere and tried to get them to defile ra. but then Logan got there in time to save her, so Laura didn’t get her way.”
“I’ve done no such thing. Don’t you talk nonsense!” Said Laura, about to lunge at Sean to stop him, but Horace tightened his grip on her wheelchair.
“Continue your words.” Those three words almost popped out of Horace’s mouth one by one, and at the moment, he felt like he had a volcano about to erupt inside him that was just about to be overwhelming.
A little shocked by Horace’s seemingly cannibalistic tone, Sean swallowed hard before continuing, “Then, to destroy your rtionship with ra, Laura deliberately misled you, trying to make you think that ra had been raped. And she paid off the doctor who examined ra back then to lie to you together.”
“She also told meter that as long as you believed ra was raped, it had nted a seed in your heart that would grow into suspicion and discontent, and when the time came, you two would sooner orter separate because you didn’t trust each other without her doing anything.”
In an attempt to alleviate Horace’s anger at himself, Sean told Horace word for word what Laura had said to him back then.
“No, that’s not true!” Laura turned and pulled Horace to her feet.
“Horace, don’t you believe him? He’s talking nonsense. how could I have done such a thing? It’s all bullshit from him. You know, he doesn’t get on well with you. He’s making all this up to divert us from each other; you mustn’t believe him; he’s lying to you!”
Without pushing Laura away, Horace stared at her as if he wanted to see through her soul.
Was this the person he had truly loved when he was young? Was this the person he had cared for five years with a guilty conscience? She had done this to ra that year!
“I’ve brought the same doctor from that time, and he’s waiting outside the door right now. Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, just get him in and ask him.”
Fearing that Horace might not believe him, Sean had gone to the same hospital yesterday and found the doctor from back then. At first, he refused toe and testify about the incident, but Sean threatened that if he didn’te, he would make it public that he had taken bribes to deceive the patients’ families and make him lose his job in the hospital.
He was so helpless and scared that he had no choice but to agree with Sean.
When she heard that Sean had brought in the doctor, Laura panicked and cried to Horace, “I don’t know any doctor. He must have paid someone to set me up. Horace, don’t get fooled by them. It’s all a trap!”
Pulling off Laura’s grip on his arm with force, Horace spoke through gritted teeth, almost like a growl, “Let the doctor in. I want to hear it from him.”
Hearing Horace’s words, Sean took out his phone and dialled a number, and within moments a middle-aged man with arge belly knocked on the office door.
“Tell me the truth. Did my wife get raped back then or not?” Clenching his fists at the man in front of him, Horace’s re could almost set someone on fire.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Although this doctor had gained weight, Horace could still recognize him at one.
“No, no, she didn’t.” The man denied sharply, clearly taken aback by the look in Horace’s eyes. Damn, after years of absence, this gentleman’s aura was even more intimidating, and his legs were so bby he could hardly stand.
Reaching up to wipe the sweat from his forehead, the man pointed at Laura and said, “It’s all because of thisdy. She’s the one who told me to lie to you. She gave me arge sum, and I agreed because I was too greedy for money. I beg your mercy, sir. I have a family to support. I can’t lose my job at the hospital.”
