Chapter 1458 I lost the love of my life
With a resounding accusation like this, Kate felt ashamed and reached out to hold Edith’s hand, but she was pushed away.
“Don’t touch me. Your acting and your thoughts frighten me,” Edith said.
Kate’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at her daughter’s hostility. For a moment, she couldn’t find the words to say. Tears filled her eyes as she stared at Edith in shock.
Eric quickly stepped in to defend Kate. “Edith, your mother is only trying to protect you. Anthony is always partying at nightclubs and involving your brother in his reckless behavior. If it weren’t for that, your mother wouldn’t have tried to break you two apart. If you’re going to blame anyone, blame him for not being responsible.”
Edith cried out in anger, “Dad! You also come from a wealthy and influential family. Don’t you know all the schemes in this circle?” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Eric frowned but remained silent, Edith stared into his eyes and spoke word by word.
“Anthony’s mother passed away a long time ago, and his stepmother, in order to secure the inheritance for her own son, manipulated him into ruining his own reputation!”
Eric and Kate seemed shocked to learn about Anthony’s past. Looking at Edith, they said, “We had no idea…”
“Yes, you know nothing. You think you know it all and make decisions for me without even asking me!” Edith exclaimed.
With a pained expression, Edith continued, “Do you know that your actions caused me to lose the person I loved the most?”
Seeing Edith’s tear-stained face, Kate felt immense guilt. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I was wrong…”
She held onto Edith’s cold and trembling hand, explaining, “I thought Anthony had a bad character, so when I found out you two were dating, I tried to separate you. But after meeting him a few times, I realized he wasn’t as bad as I thought. I thought if I let go, he could win you back, and then I wouldn’t feel guilty about what I did in the past…”
“You thought that if you let go, he would win me back, and then we would be together, and you wouldn’t feel guilty about what you did back then, right?” Edith interrupted.
Kate shook her head, but Edith continued to approach her
Step by step.
“Mom, tell me, did you let go because you saw Anthony creating his own career and thought he was worthy of me, or did you know that his grandmother committed suicide because of your pressure?”
If it was the former, Edith would think that Kate placed too much importance on a guy’s family background.
If it was the latter, Edith would feel that her mother didn’t love her as much as she portrayed, not with her whole heart.
At least, not the way she had shown it, wholeheartedly loving her child.
