Chapter 773 - 767: Behind the Truth 1

A deep shame towards Poppy, and a profound guilt towards the Ford family.

For twenty years, he watched Meredith Ford grow up day by day, watched the Ford family treat her kindly, and his eyes were filled with hate.

All this kindness was stolen by Cynthia Morgan, built on the pain of others.

Many times, when he looked into Meredith Ford’s eyes, he would remember what Cynthia Morgan did.

Although he never aided her, everything originated because of him.

The one who took Poppy away was indeed Cynthia Morgan, yet he could not speak of it because he clearly understood Rouge Jarvis’s temperament.

Though she loved her sister, she would never tolerate the daughter of a wicked woman; Meredith Ford would surely be cast out.

If Meredith Ford were cast out, then by that time, Pearl would certainly discover the truth.

To die ten thousand times would not matter, but Pearl...

He was ashamed toward the Ford family, for he was a selfish man, wishing only to stay by Pearl, to protect her alone.

Ultimately, he concealed from the Ford family who took Poppy away, so he could have more time with Pearl.

In the beginning, he only wanted five years to bring closure, to perish alongside Cynthia Morgan.

Human nature seems to learn greed as the first lesson shortly after birth, always wanting more.

Five years passed, he wanted ten, ten years later, he yearned for twenty.

Now, finally, the moment has arrived where no more time can be extended.

Everyone fell into silence.

Tiana Thorne did not know how to evaluate her third uncle-in-law; in the whole matter, he neither helped Cynthia Morgan nor harmed anyone.

His greatest mistake was concealment.

The first time he concealed, he was afraid of losing his third aunt.

The second time he concealed, he also feared losing his third aunt, but unlike the first time, his third aunt was seriously ill, and he wished to protect the one he loved.

He was unaware that she was still alive.

No matter the dire situation he found himself in, his concealment led to a series of subsequent events, with definite repercussions.

Though he was a victim, for the Ford family, concealing that Cynthia Morgan took her was unforgivable.

In retrospect, it seemed all was manipulated by this woman named Cynthia Morgan.

She finally realized why the ancients said those words about the most malicious woman.

Isn’t this precisely malevolence?

First, she schemed against the third uncle-in-law, then coerced into learning hacker skills through the child, took her away, and subsequently orchestrated a car accident for the third uncle-in-law, and lastly, replaced Annie.

Every plan was meticulously devised, causing pain to two families single-handedly.

She slowly stood up, step by step, walking toward Cynthia Morgan.

Her hand had been chopped off by the third uncle-in-law, and she wore gloves, having listened to the whole story from him without a trace of fear, only amusement.

Tiana reached out and clutched her left hand; she could tell fortunes but not foresee familial connections or matters tied to herself.

Yet she could discern what she had done to the third uncle-in-law.

Marvelous.

On that appointed night, she left first, afterward, waiting to return when the third uncle-in-law’s medicine took effect.

She calculated that the third uncle-in-law, being the company owner, would leave last, so she waited outside until everyone departed, then returned to the private room.

By that time, the drug administered to the third uncle-in-law had already taken effect, leaving him in a state of unconsciousness.

She took him to a pre-booked room, and then...

Tiana Thorne’s eyes widened suddenly, looking at her in disbelief.

With that look, Cynthia Morgan’s gaze stiffened, reminded of her fortune-telling rumors.

Comparatively, Cynthia Morgan was never quite convinced.

If she could tell fortunes, how could it take twenty years to return to the Ford family?

Tiana Thorne smiled: "I’m very curious, given that the third uncle-in-law personally bought contraceptive pills, watched you consume them, and only left after the pills dissolved in your stomach, how then were you able to conceive?"

At these words, Cynthia Morgan’s face turned pale.
