True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 267 Cordelia is the Murderer

Upon hearing the sound, Kyle instinctively flinched backward. His slightly cloudy eyes looked in the direction of the sound.

Kyle saw Sebastian, dressed in black, walking towards him with a grim expression. He then realized that he had fallen into Sebastian's trap. He said calmly, "You've got the wrong person. I'm not Kyle."

Sebastian sneered as he walked up to Kyle and yanked off his mask, revealing a familiar face. His eyes were deep and he stared intently at the face, a cold, low voice emanating from his throat. "Kyle, did you think I wouldn't recognize you hiding behind this mask?"

He kicked Kyle in the stomach, sending him back dozens of feet until he crashed heavily into a pillar, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Sebastian's entire body seemed to be enveloped in ice, exuding a suffocating chill. Thinking about how Kyle had ruined his wedding celebration and nearly caused Joyce and her child to lose their lives, a surge of malice rose within him. He walked up to Kyle and stepped on his neck, coldly questioning, "Tell me, what really happened with the fire back then?"

Kyle was being choked, his face turning red. But he gritted his teeth tightly, showing a look of defiance.

Sebastian sneered coldly, slowly releasing his foot, and squatted beside Kyle. "Do you think playing dead means I can't deal with you? The Winters Family has supported your wife and children for so many years. Did you think that was for nothing? Since you haven't seen them for so long, how about I give you a chance to see them?

Your grandson is now in elementary school, the best one in City B that I found for him. I'm sure he'd love to see the grandfather who was supposedly burned to death protecting the Winters Family's property and then came back to life." With that, Sebastian took out his phone from his pocket, found a video of a child reciting in class, and showed it to Kyle.

When Kyle saw the child in the video, his psychological defenses crumbled. All these years, he had been secretly watching his family.

Kyle knew he had a grandson in elementary school and had even disguised himself as a scavenger to talk to him at the school gate. His little grandson didn't despise him but helped him find his way.

At that moment, all Kyle had wanted was to hug his grandson, to buy him sweets and toys, to take him out for a proper meal.

And all he had managed was a choked "thank you."Tears streamed down Kyle's face as he kept saying, "I'm sorry, I had no choice. Cordelia has evidence of my crimes. If I don't listen to her, she'll expose me." He then recounted everything that had happened back then.

As the butler of the Winters Family, Kyle not only managed the distribution of all the servants in the Winters Mansion but also handled the family's monthly expenses.

Over the years, he had embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars, which Cordelia discovered and threatened to expose. He had begged Cordelia not to reveal it, promising to do anything she asked.

Hearing this, Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Who was the woman in the warehouse, and why did Cordelia want to burn her to death? The remains in the fire weren't yours, so whose were they?"

"A homeless man," Kyle whispered, his voice thick with shame. "Cordelia... she summoned me to the warehouse that night. Told me to burn it down with the woman inside. She said the woman had seduced Mr. Derek Winters, that she was carrying his child. By the time I arrived, the woman's face had been disfigured. I couldn't recognize her. But she seemed to know me. She begged for mercy."

"I was going to set the fire. But then a homeless man rushed in. He said the woman was his savior. He tried to save her. We fought and somehow she managed to escape in the chaos. I knocked the homeless man unconscious and threw him into the fire."

"Since then, I've lived as this homeless man."

Hearing these words, Leonard, sitting in the monitoring room, clenched his fists tightly. Only now did he realize that Elise's face had been disfigured even before the fire.

He could imagine the torment she had endured back then. No wonder her mental state had become so unstable.

Leonard's usually gentle face showed a hint of ferocity as he stood up and stormed into the interrogation room. He kicked Kyle in the stomach, his voice cold and merciless. "So, since then, you've been hunting her and her son, right?" Kyle stared at him in surprise. "How do you know?"

Leonard licked his back teeth with his tongue. "Because I am that child. Can't you tell?"

Hearing this, Kyle stared at Leonard for a long time, then shook his head in pain. "I'm sorry, I had no choice. Cordelia made me do it. If I didn't, she would expose me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leonard kicked him hard in the thigh. "Did you ever think about what kind of life we lived because of your pursuit? My mother often woke up in the middle of the night in terror, living in nightmares all these years. You hurt others to protect yourself, and you think you have an excuse?"

Thinking about the past sufferings he and Elise had endured, Leonard could no longer contain his anger and started punching Kyle.

Seeing Leonard's usually gentle face now twisted with rage, Sebastian felt a pang of heartache. He grabbed Leonard's wrist and advised, "Let me finish questioning him first, then you can hit him all you want. Joyce really wants to know the cause of Connie's death; let's not disappoint her."

Hearing this, Leonard finally stopped, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Sebastian. "Are you sure you want to know the truth?"

Sebastian frowned in confusion. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Seeing Leonard remain silent, he turned to Theodore, who also said nothing. A bad premonition arose in his heart.

'Connie's death must be related to Cordelia.' Thinking of this, Sebastian's eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse. "Don't worry, even if Cordelia did it, I won't let her off for Joyce's sake."

He then turned his gaze to Kyle. "Tell me, how did Connie die?"

Kyle, covered in injuries, endured the pain and said, "Connie suspected Cordelia of murder and was secretly investigating. Cordelia, fearing exposure, bribed Connie's driver to stage a fatal car accident. I only recently found out that Cordelia's real motive was to bring her and Darren's daughter back to the Vale Family. If I had known this, I would never have helped her."

"She had been lying to me, saying she was taking care of my family. I didn't realize it was you all along."

Kyle continued to apologize, but Sebastian didn't hear a word. He only heard that Cordelia had bribed the driver to stage the car accident. So, he was the son of the person who killed Connie.
