Chapter 509 - 508: Was Dad Forced to His Death by the Sinclair Family?
The words "break up" were stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say them out loud.
Bella Acker looked up, forcing back the tears that welled up again.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Rhodes knew exactly what had happened and felt a deep heartache.
She had been meticulously hiding the secret, not wanting her daughter to be affected by the grudges of the previous generation. How could The Sinclair Family transfer their previous grudges onto her daughter?
"What right do The Sinclair Family have to do this?" Aunt Rhodes couldn’t stand it any longer. "Back then, your father didn’t mean to cause the death of The Sinclair Family’s eldest son, yet they crushed your father’s company, forcing him to jump off a building to protect us. I held you in my arms upstairs and saw everything clearly. To this day, I haven’t forgotten how vicious Brian Sinclair’s attitude was at the time! If it weren’t for The Sinclair Family’s relentless pressure and using us against your father, how would he have ended up jumping? If he hadn’t died, we wouldn’t have been torn apart by death, wah wah..." As she mentioned her beloved, Aunt Rhodes’s emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred again.
Bella listened to her words, eyes widened in shock, "You mean... Father was driven to death by The Sinclair Family?"
"Yes." Aunt Rhodes nodded.
Bella staggered back a step, so this was the truth of the whole matter?
Her father caused the death of The Sinclair Family’s eldest son, and The Sinclair Family drove her father to his death. Could this truly be the reality of the situation?
Bella looked up at Aunt Rhodes, "No wonder when we left Old Mr. Langdon’s party that day, you asked about Damian’s connection to The Sinclair Family in Creston, and your expression was so strange."
"I just thought if being with Damian Sinclair could truly make you happy, I wouldn’t let you know about the grudges of the past. But I didn’t expect that driving your father to his death wasn’t enough for The Sinclair Family; they even brought these grievances upon you." Aunt Rhodes suddenly rushed forward, grasping Bella’s shoulders, "Bella, I’m telling you these things now not to make you live with your father’s hatred. If your father were alive, he would certainly hope more than anyone to see you live a happy life. But with The Sinclair Family’s attitude, you..."
Bella shook her head, "Even if you hadn’t told me this today, there’s no future between Damian and me."
"Besides the grudges of the past, what else?" Aunt Rhodes frowned.
"Damian... Damian is going to be a father." Bella felt a dull pain in her heart; no matter how many times she faced this issue, it hurt just as much.
"Scoundrel, he actually..." Aunt Rhodes looked at Bella’s pale face, stopping herself from cursing Damian. She reached out, pulling Bella into her arms, gently and softly comforting her, "Our Bella is so wonderful; she will definitely find a man who loves you more. It’s his loss for not cherishing you. Let’s not be sad anymore, alright?"
To love someone and forcefully remove them from your heart is like cutting out a piece of flesh from your chest. How could it not hurt? How could you say you’d forget and then just forget?
Bella shook her head with tears streaming down, "Aunt Rhodes, I want to forget Damian too, but... wah wah..."
Every time she thought of him, her heart ached. The more she tried to forget, the more all their shared memories kept resurfacing.
The sweetness then equaled the pain now.
Hearing her cry so sorrowfully, Aunt Rhodes’s heart was wrenching.
