FreeNovelAt last, Bethany had broken down completely. She slumped on the floor and began to cry hysterically. “It... It was me...”
Everyone was speechless.
Gregory was completely dumbfounded. He said in disbelief, “What did you say... Repeat that again!”
“The report... Shannon gave it to me, then | gave it to Zoe... This was how it got out...” Bethany’s tears flowed endlessly.
Now that what she had done had been exposed, she had to confess the truth to protect herself. She would rather admit the truth
than have the entire country see her scandalous video.
Bethany compromised, thinking, ‘What can my family do toanyway? So what if | sabotaged Carrie?’
Gregory valued the family’s reputation and his image more than anything else in the world, so Bethany was sure he would step up
to defend her.
“Why would Shannon give you Carrie's diagnosis report?!” Nigel was so furious that he could hardly catch his breath.
“I... I don’t know... Maybe she’s lost it because of all the drugs she’s been using?”
“Did you use her drug habit against her to blackmail her into giving you something so you could destroy Carrie's marriage? That
must be what happened, right?” Justin's eyes were ominously dark. He was erupting with anger.
“I... 1...” Faced with the overbearing pressure, Bethany’s mind went blank.

Justin's deduction was so accurate that she could not cup with a rebuttal in the heat of the moment.
“You scum! You are worse than scum!”
Nigel furiously slapped his thigh and managed to get up with Matt's help. “Carrie is your biological sister! You grew up with her,
and she has always been kind to you... She trusted you as her elder sister... How could you do something like this to her?!”
“You are despicable! You're just like your dead mother!" Gregory was beyond disappointed in his daughter.
“You guys were the ones who forcedinto doing this! Did you think this was only my fault?!”
Bethany began to scream madly. “Grandpa, you keep saying that you love me, your eldest granddaughter, but you only favor
Carrie every time! | was the one who fell in love with Ryan first, so why did you pair Carrie with him? Why does she always get the
good things? Am | supposed to be inferior to her?!”
Nigel was baffled upon hearing this.
In the blink of an eye, his expression darkened again. A drop of tears appeared behind his eyes that were colored with rage. Then
he stepped forward and delivered a vicious slap again.
It was a far harder slap than the previous one.
Justin and Gregory were both shocked.
Bethany’s eardrums were ringing from the pain and even pulsating. It hurt so much that she was sweating all over.
“The one thing | hate the most are women who get jealous of each other because of men! As if that wasn’t enough, you would
even stoop as low as to harm your sister, all just to steal love away from her!”
Justin and Gregory were completely baffled.
Even Matt, who was the closest to Nigel, was completely stunned.
This explained why Nigel always spoke loudly to his wife back then. When there was nobody around, he would often draw up close
to his wife and whisper in her ears.
This also explained why Old Madam Salvador, who enjoyed theaters and operas, was a poor singer who was always out of tune.
Despite that, Nigel would always listen to her sing. His eyes would be filled with adoration and tenderness, as if he would never tire
of her voice no matter what.
Meanwhile, Old Madam Salvador, who lost her hearing in her left ear, had never complained about it. She always smiled radiantly
and was full of kindness. Nobody would ever believe that she had hearing loss.
It was Nigel who made up for her disabilities with his relentless devotion and love.
“What you have done today is no different from what that vicious woman had done in the past! No, you are worse than her,
because you used someone else to do the dirty work for you!”
“Grandpa...”

Bethany was truly frantic by this point.
Gregory was not fond of her, and her grandfather resented her. To make things worse, Justin was her enemy! Could there still be a
place for her in the Salvador family?
“Bethany, since you have confessed to the crime, there is nothing left for you to say.”
Justin cast an icy look at Gregory. “Dad, how are you going to deal with her?”
Gregory was seething by this point. He was very upset about Bethany sabotaging Carrie, but more than that, he was upset that she
had colluded with the Hoffmans to betray her family!
She was a traitor!
At the stime, Gregory did not want Justin to handle the matter.
“Lock her up and make sure she doesn’t step out of Tideview Manor. | will handle the rest!”
Justin shook his head faintly. “No, that’s too light of a punishment.”
Gregory frowned. “What are you thinking, then?”
“Cut off all her finances and banish her overseas. Make sure she never comes back to Savrow.”
Every word Justin uttered cut deep like a knife. He was not going to back down. “One more thing, she has to go to Carrie and
apologize on her knees.”
