Chapter 116


    Sebastian Simons pulled the chair back and sat down. He deliberately avoided Abigail Tanner''s


    eyes and Yasmine Taylor understood why he did that because one look of her eyes would be


    enough to destroy his determined mind.


    Yasmine sat next to Sebastian. The atmosphere in the huge room was rather somber, and the only


    sound that could be heard was the breathing of the four people.


    The sound of their breathing was messy and irregr. It could be seen that deep down, the four


    people were not as calm as they looked. Sebastian was nervous because he was about to face his


    exlover and his current lover at the same time. He could not bear to hurt anyone of them.


    Yasmine was nervous because she was afraid that Sebastian would suddenly back out.


    On the other hand, Ethan Zordon was nervous because he was afraid that Sebastian would say


    something that would hurt Abigail, and this was exactly what Abigail was nervous about too.


    After a long silence, Sebastian finally spoke. He nced at Abigail with a cold face and said in a


    deep voice, "I''ve asked you out today to officially introduce you to someone."


    He shifted his gaze to Yasmine, who was sitting beside him and said, "This is my wife and I love her


    very much." The atmosphere in the room became a little frigid again. Abigail''s fingers were tightly


    mped together and she did not utter a word.


    "We''re living a good life now. I won''t abandon her because of anyone else. Without her, the man in


    front of you wouldn''t be here. So, we can never meet again in the future, and I''ll forgive you for all


    the things that you have done in the past. I hope you and Ethan will have a fruitful rtionship in the


    future."


    Abigail''s face gradually turned pale, and beads of cold sweat could be seen on her forehead but she


    hadn''t said anything still.


    "Of course, I hope that both of you can quietly leave here, like how you guys did three years ago. I


    don''t wish to see any of you in B City again."


    "Stop it!"


    Ethan stood up with a loud thud and the blue veins on his forehead were visible. He raised his fist in


    anger and was about to swing it at Sebastian''s face. Sebastian dodged the punch in a sh, but


    Ethan didn''t retreat and continued to swing at Sebastian. Soon, the two men started to fight against


    each other.


    "Stop, everyone stop!"


    Yasmine was in a hurry to stop them, while Abigail was sitting there and crying silently.


    "Ethan Zordon, I asked you to stop. How could you take away someone else''s fiancee and still have


    the audacity to beat someone up without feeling any guilt!"


    Yasmine roared at him angrily. Ethan was stunned. He grabbed her arm and said, "Come out with


    me."


    "Let me go. Why should I go out with you?"


    Ethan didn''t listen to any of her words, as if he was deaf. He looked at Abigail and said, "Abigail, it''s


    time to tell you the truth."


    "Let her go."


    Sebastian gave a sinister order. He was just about to fight back when Abigail said, "Sebastian, let


    them go out. I have something to tell you."


    Yasmine''s heart thumped, and she stopped struggling at that instant. She had a feeling that what


    Abigail was going to say next would waver Sebastian''s heart.


    Just like that, she was like a puppet, being dragged out of the room by Ethan.


    Ethan closed the door and leaned his back against the wall of the corridor. His beautiful eyes were


    tightly closed, and his handsome face was covered in wounds.


    Yasmine leaned against the door and could clearly hear the conversation that was going on inside.


    Her lips quivered a few times and she asked Ethan in a choked voice, "Do you really have to help


    Abigail destroy my family like this?"


    "I don''t mean to ruin anyone''s happiness. But there are some things that had to be rified. If you


    were Abigail, who was carrying a deep hatred in your heart, you wouldn''t be willing to endure all the


    pain by yourself too."


    At that instant, Yasmine fell silent because the conversation that could make her feel uneasy had


    finally begun in that private room.


    Sebastian stared at Abigail coldly and said while trying hard to suppress his throbbing heart, "I''ll


    give you half an hour to tell me everything now."


    Abigail raised her tearful eyes and gradually walked towards him. Suddenly, she threw herself into


    his arms and burst into tears.


    "Sebastian, it''s been three years, and my heart has been aching every single day. Do you know who


    had caused all of these? It''s your father, Titus Simons. Do you know that my parents are dead? Do


    you know who killed them? Your mother, M Zordon..."


    Standing by the door, Yasmine''s mind went nk. She covered her mouth in shock and could not


    believe what she had heard just now.


    Impossible, absolutely impossible. Her inws were such kind-hearted people. How could they do


    harm to anyone like Henry Taylor and Dorothy Ryles did?


    "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    Sebastian pushed her away. Like Yasmine, he could not ept what Abigail had said.


    "I''m not talking nonsense!"

    Abigail cried even more sorrowfully. She began to tell Sebastian about the things that had


    happened three years ago.


    "Four years ago, when you took me home for the first time, your father would look at me with a


    strange look in his eyes. When you were away, he asked for my mother''s name. I didn''t think too


    much about it and immediately told him that my mother''s name was Pearl Haymitch. At that instant,


    his face darkened. After that, whenever I went to your house, he would treat me coldly. Until one


    day, he had suddenly asked me out to meet him at a tea house. When we met, he did not beat


    around the bush and immediately asked me to leave you. Of course, I didn''t agree at that time. I


    asked him why, and do you know what he replied?"


    Sebastian was like an iceberg. He said coldly, "What did he say?"


    "He said that Pearl Haymitch''s daughter doesn''t deserve to be married into the Simons family."


    Abigail''s tears began to fall again. "Just because I am Pearl Haymitch''s daughter, I had to leave


    you. I was puzzled when I heard what he said so I asked him what had happened between him and


    my mother, but he had asked me to go home and ask my mother about it. Before I left, he warned


    me not to tell you about it, or he would destroy our family."


    "When I came out of the teahouse, I ran home like a madman. When I saw my mother, I cried and


    immediately asked her about Titus Simons'' rtionship with her. My mother was shocked at that


    time and was very angry after hearing what I had said. She told me not to care about your father


    and she even said that your father was a heartless man. My mother told me that, 30 years ago, your


    father had slept with her and then abandoned her. That was why he had insisted on asking me to


    leave you because he was afraid that this incident would get out and the public would know about it


    if I were to marry you. After hearing my mother''s words, I no longer cared about your father''s


    warning. After about ten days had passed, he asked me out again. He handed me a huge amount


    of money and wanted me to leave you once again. I refused his offer and told him that I didn''t fall in


    love with you because of your wealth. I told him that I was in love with you for who you are and I


    promised that I will keep the secret between him and my mother to myself, but he still wouldn''t


    ept it and insisted that I leave you."


    "On that day, when we parted in discord, it was not too long afterward that something tragic had


    happened to my family. At that time, I didn''t think that this matter had anything to do with your


    father."


    Sebastian held his breath and waited for Abigail''s to continue...


    "It was a hazy night, and it looked like there was going to be a heavy downpour anytime soon.


    Seeing that the weather was bad, my father wanted to rush home before the raines after


    delivering the goods to his customer so he had used a remote path to return home. It was not the


    first time that my father had used that path, and usually, there would be no one on that particr


    road at all. However, on that night, suddenly, a drunkard came out of nowhere, and he walked


    straight into my father''s car. It all happened too abruptly that it was already toote when my father


    managed to step on the brake. The man was crushed under the car and he died on the spot. My


    father was terrified at that time and he didn''t know what to do. He couldn''t even see the man''s face


    clearly because his entire face was covered with blood, and his body was emitting a strong alcohol


    smell. My father was in a dilemma for a long time, whether to call the police or not. In the end, he


    ignored his conscience and fled home because he was afraid that he would go to jail. When he fled


    home, there was a lot of blood on his body. My mother and I saw him and hurriedly asked him what


    had happened. My father fell on the ground and cried while saying that his truck had run into


    someone, and even let him die. Our family fell into the darkness at an instant. That night, he


    couldn''t sleep at all. At dawn, my father finally couldn''t stand the pressure in his heart and wanted to


    turn himself in at the police station, but my mother refused to let him go. My mother has a very deep


    affection for my father. After she was abandoned by your father, my honest father married her. They


    never argued or fought with each other. My mother reassured him that it was a remote ce without


    any surveince nor witnesses so as long as he didn''t admit it then no one would find out about it.


    Because of her persistence, my father had finally dispelled the idea of turning himself in. Just like


    this, our family spent the next three days worrying about my father. Every single day, we were


    worried that we would see the ident being reported on TV, and we would be scared whenever


    we heard the sound of the siren of the police car. We were nervous and never had a good night''s


    sleep because we were constantly under such a tense situation. After a few more days had passed,


    seeing that the police hadn’t reached out to us yet, our anxious hearts had finally begun to ease up


    a little, thinking that this matter would eventually be forgotten. However, the truth couldn''t be hidden


    forever. Eventually, someone had found out that my father was involved in that hit and run."


    Abigail wiped her tears from the corners of her eyes, and hatred began to fill her eyes.


    "That was the third time your father had asked to meet me. I didn''t expect that he would know so


    much about our family. He threw a stack of photos in front of me. It was the picture of my father


    hitting that drunk man. I panicked and asked him where he got those from. He said that it wouldn''t


    matter where he had gotten it from, but the fact was that my father''s truck had indeed run into


    someone and killed him. At that moment, I finally grasped his intention of asking to meet me. As


    expected, I was right. He said that he would resolve this matter on my behalf and he would keep it


    to himself, but only with one condition, that is, to leave you."


    Sebastian didn''t know that since when his hands were clenched into fists. He questioned Abigail


    with a stern face, "Why didn''t you tell me when all of this happened?"
