Chapter 1189

Wendy’s gaze was dark, and her voice remained unhurried. “That depends on how you answer my questions. If you give me the truth and tell me exactly what happened to Jared, I’ll agree to the marriage.”

Making empty promises was easy.

If the old Wendy could turn against her own biological daughter with such precision, dealing with a piece of trash like Nathan was nothing.

She could easily go back on her word and break her promise without batting an eye.

Nathan spoke rapidly, “It… it was Joanna. She told Jared to go after Monica. He hid on a boat and overheard Monica planning everything with her boyfriend. He realized Monica was a plant Joanna used to seduce him. In the chaos, Jared tried to kill Monica. He was impaled by a metal pipe and fell into the ocean. He died at sea.”

Nathan looked anguished. Jared was his own flesh and blood, after all.

But he had convinced himself Jared wasn’t dead, simply because a body was never found.

He was a monster. An absolute monster.

How could he have conspired with his vicious daughter to murder a son who had always been so good to him?

Wendy closed her eyes and took a long, trembling breath. So that was how Jared had been hurt. If Natalie hadn’t been diving in the ocean by pure luck that day, he really would have died.

It was such an obvious trap, yet she hadn’t seen it. She had almost helped the villains succeed.

Just how utterly blind had she been?!

Sophia shrieked in absolute terror, “Nathan, you’re not human! You selfish piece of trash! Joanna is your own flesh and blood, and you’re selling her out? You helped her plan against your sons, and now you’re pinning all the blame on her? Wendy is just baiting you for a confession! You sold out your own daughter just to save your skin! Nathan, a scumbag like you doesn’t deserve an ounce of happiness!”

“You belong in hell! You’re a monster for all eternity!”

Hearing this, Wendy snapped her eyes open and glared at Nathan, who looked like a pathetic puddle of mud. “Fine! One more question. How did Jerome lose the use of his legs?!”

“The divorce papers are right here. Just tell me the truth, and I’ll remarry you. The least you can do is let your son know the truth about how his animal of a father destroyed his life.”

Nathan blurted out, “It was someone Joanna hired. The guy tampered with Jerome’s car, which is why ite flipped during the race, leaving him paralyzed. But there’s nothing

anyone can do about it now. The guy happily took the fall for Joanna. Even if he came forward today to testify against her, there’s no

evidence left. His word alone won’t prove a thing.”

Wendy knew that already. The evidence had been completely destroyed.

Now, the whole truth was out in the open.

She had already heard the

recordings herself and had been devastated, but she had needed to torture herself further. She needed to heart straight from Nathan’s mooth just to know exactly howevil he truly was.

Sophia completely broke down. Joanna was all she had left. She couldn’t let these two bastards ruin her daughter’s future.

They both had to die!

Spotting a fruit knife on the coffee table, Sophia’s eyes darkened. Without hesitation, she lunged for it and thrust the blade straight toward Nathan’s chest.

Wendy, who had been standing to the side, was entirely prepared. The second she saw the knife, she delivered a swift, brutal kick.

“Gah…”

Sophia cried out in pain as the knife clattered to the floor.

She stared at Wendy in total disbelief. “Wendy! After everything he did to you, I was trying to kill him for you! Why did you stop me? Why? He’s a bastard who only cares about himself!”
