"Why was the driver who hit us the same one who hit your mother? When we investigated earlier, the driver suddenly disappeared overseas, but now he's back and hits your mother again? You two knew each other, didn't you?"

As he recalled how the three of them had been kept in the dark for so long, how they had been so kind to Bethany, his anger erupted, and he grabbed her wrist tightly. The sharp edge of the paper left red marks on her face.

In an instant, Bethany was reduced to a pitiful, tearful mess, desperately shaking her head.

"No, I didn't, Ethan, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Tony, please explain for me, okay?"

She pleaded, looking at Tony.

"Did Ethan listen to someone and misunderstand me like this? How could I and my mother, just servants, possibly do such things?"

"Is it because Kate doesn't like me and said something to you? Yeah, it's normal for Kate to misunderstand me, after all... she has never liked me."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but observe their reactions.

But she didn't have the courage to look at the documents"

had fallen on the ground.

Tony's usually gentle, smiling eyes were now as cold as ice, and when he looked at Bethany, there was a trace of hatred in his gaze.

"Stop pretending. What qualifications do you have to talk about Kate? Don't you and your mother know what you've done?"

"You bribed a driver to crash into us, yet at the critical moment, you risked your life to protect us. You must have already calculated that you wouldn't be in danger. We were really foolish to believe you without further investigation." "But those pieces of evidence you can't erase! If it weren't for you panicking this time, and your mother causing a car accident in a rush, we wouldn't have discovered your true face so soon!" 11.12

He grabbed Bethany's neck tightly and spoke slowly, but his grip was so forceful that veins were popping out on his hand.

Bethany was suffocating, her eyes rolling back, struggling nonstop.

Tony was never truly a gentle person; it was only a facade,

He whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Bethany, after all the bad things you've done, I won't let you 'off easily!"

"All the suffering Kate went through before, you will experience it all!"

It was only when Ethan saw that Bethany was on the verge of death that he reminded him, "Be

careful, don't kill her."

Upon hearing that, Tony slowly released his grip, and the next moment, a pot of scalding hot soup was poured onto her.

"Ah!"

As Bethany caught her breath, her skin instantly turned red from the burn. She curled up like a shrimp, rolling on the floor, trying to use the coldness of the tiles to soothe the pain. "You can't stand this little pain? How did Kate endure it back then?"

Tony's deep eyes narrowed slightly. When Kate was mentioned, his heart filled with pity.

She had been pampered since childhood, but how much suffering had Bethany endured after coming into this family?

When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that all of it had come from them.

Guilt instantly overwhelmed him.

He only hated that he had been too naive at the time, forgetting to investigate properly in his desire to repay a life-saving favor. Tony now shared the same thoughts.

Having been an actor for so long, winning so many awards and observing countless lives, he had completely tripped in his own life.

It was his overconfidence that had allowed Bethany's crude tricks to deceive him.

Now that he was sober, he realized how foolish he had been.

Thinking of this, Tony's gaze towards Bethany grew even colder.

Before she could recover, he grabbed her collar and dragged her towards the artificial lake.

As if guessing what he intended to do, Bethany clung to his leg, constantly begging:

"Tony, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, but I really saved your lives, and I really like you! Don't treat me like this, please? It hurts so much, let me go just this once, please?" Hearing this, Tony stopped, but he disdainfully kicked her hand away, his voice cold to the extreme

"Don't touch me, you're dirty.
