Chapter 538


    Amos frowned. "It doesn''t matter what you think. My father was the one who gave them to you. I’m only


    responsible for passing it to you!"


    Bethany sneered, "Stop pretending. You''re just like your mother. You''re both wicked people. Your


    mother was just a mistress, but she had taken everything that belonged to me. You, the illegitimate


    child, even took away everything that belonged to my son, the true heir. My entire life has been ruined


    by you and your mother!"


    Bethany was heartbroken as she shouted with all her might.


    All of a sudden, she kicked the lit candles from the table. As the chapel was built with wood, the entire


    room was engulfed in mes within seconds.


    Clint felt a chill in his heart and he shouted hurriedly, "President Granger."


    "Don''te over!" Amos said calmly.


    He stood there calmly and fearlessly. The police officers around him were all stunned. Even Kaylene


    was looking at Amos in a daze.


    She finally understood why Old Master Granger had chosen Amos as the heir of the Granger family.


    Steven was no match for such a man, who was able to stay calm amid such danger.


    Amos said, "I don''t know about the grievances between thest generation. However, pray tell, why


    were you so sure that my father had never loved you? I still remember when he told me that day that


    you have sacrificed a lot for this family. He did express his wish to live a good life with you many times."


    Bethany gritted her teeth. "You''re lying."


    "It''s up to you whether to believe it or not. I''ve said everything that I needed to say."


    The mes around him were growing rapidly, and Old Master Granger''s tablet started to burn too.


    Amos instinctively tried to put out the fire around the tablets.


    When Bethany noticed his actions, she pushed him away all of a sudden to avoid the table that was


    falling onto Amos. "I''ve saved you. Could you promise me one thing? Could you please tell the police

    officers outside to let me go to the bank and take a look at the things that he had left for me?"


    She couldn''t think of the password back then, so she didn''t check the safe. After hearing what Amos


    had said, she suddenly wanted to have a look at it.


    Amos, however, did not know about this matter. He began to judge the authenticity of Bethany''s words.


    The next second, a pir behind him copsed. Bethany shouted, "Be careful."


    Amos turned his head hurriedly, wanting to kick the pir away. However, it was already toote. He


    watched helplessly as the pirnded on Bethany.


    With the pir giving way, the building was on the verge of copsing. Clint rushed into the building to


    drag Amos out.


    At the same time, the butler brought along others to rescue them.


    Bethany was rescued from the shambles shortly after, but she was already on the verge of death.


    Amos didn''t know why she had done that. "Why?" Didn''t she hate him very much? Why did she


    suddenly save him then?


    There was a trace of blood at the corner of Bethany''s lips. "Like what I''ve said earlier, I want to see


    what''s in the bank."


    Amos nodded and said, "I''ll ask them to send you to the hospital first."


    Bethany shook her head again. "No, I want to go to the bank first."


    A momentter, a police car arrived at the entrance of the bank.


    Amos helped Bethany get off the car. "I''ll take her inside. Don''t worry, I''ll definitely bring her back!"


    The police officers had faith in Amos because of his rtionship with Harley, as well as the fact that


    they had cooperated with Amos more than once.


    They nodded and said, "Well wait for you in the car."


    Amos and Bethany then entered the bank together. Although it had only been six months, it felt as


    though half a lifetime had passed.


    Bethany looked at the tightly- shut safe with aplicated expression on her face.


    Clint thought her expression was rather strange, but he gave her the benefit of the doubt seeing that


    she had saved Amos earlier. He then asked her. "What is the password? I will help you type it..."


    Bethany seemed to have suddenlye to her senses as she began to stutter.


    "The password... Right! What is the password?"


    She tried her birth date, Old Master Granger''s birth date, and their wedding anniversary thest time


    she came here. However, they were all wrong.


    Clint was a little speechless. "Didn''t youe all the way because you wanted to check this? Why


    don''t you even know what your safe''s code is?"


    Bethany smiled wryly. "Eudora told me. She said that I would know the code. Do I really?"


    Amos'' expression softened a little upon hearing Eudora''s name.


    "Think about it carefully..."


    Bethany was suddenly taken aback as she stared at the code lock on the safe in a daze. "Is that it?


    How could it be? Why would he remember that day?"


    Clint looked at her in confusion. "Why don''t you give it a try?"


    It was only then that Bethany stepped forward and tapped on the code lock with her trembling hands.


    She had been hit in the stomach when the pir fell on her. Even though she said that she was fine, her


    hands were still shaking violently.


    She pressed on the keys slowly. The month, the date...


    Then, with a beep, the box opened. It turned out that Eudora was right. Bethany really did know the


    code.


    It turned out that the password that Old Master Granger left for her was the date that they had gotten


    together officially.


    As the bank staff had said, there were only a few pieces of jewelry and a letter inside the safe.


    However, it was not any ordinary jewelry. She had once told him that she liked it.


    At that time, she had just been married into the Granger family. At that time, she didn''t know that Old


    Master Granger didn''t like her, so she didn''t know how to restrain her emotions.


    Just like a newlywed wife, she had mentioned it to Old Master Granger several times when she liked


    the jewelry.


    She thought that he would get the hint, but it seemed that he didn''t.


    In the end, Old Master Granger did not even look at her and even treated her as though she was


    invisible.


    Later, she understood that she couldn''t force things that did not belong to her.


    It had been so many years, and she had already forgotten all about it. However, she didn''t expect that


    he would still remember it and even got the jewelry for her. Each of them was kept inside the safe


    securely. It was as though the true feelings that had been hidden for many years suddenly burst out


    before her.


    Bethany pushed the jewelry aside and took a letter from inside.


    There wasn''t much. The letter consisted of just a single piece of paper. After opening it, she saw that it


    was a letter written by Old Master Granger himself.


    His penmanship had always been good, but this one was particrly messy. However, it could be seen


    that when Old Master Granger was very nervous when he wrote this letter.


    To Bethany,


    When you get the chance to read this letter, it is likely that I have already passed on from this world.


    Honestly, I should have told you these words myself, but I hesitated for a long time, and in the end, I


    still didn''t have the courage to do so.


    People be weak and timid as they get older. I''m afraid to see the disappointment in your eyes,


    and I''m afraid that you would not believe me.


    So, in the end, I chose to tell you all these through my words.


    I''m sorry, Bethany.


    I know that I have failed you the most throughout my life.


    You have been silently sacrificing yourself and stayed by my side for so many years, but I only realized


    the good in you when I''m on my deathbed.


    I''ve failed both you and Hank, and I''m truly sorry. I am not a good father nor a good husband.
