Chapter 1416: Plotting

Regina lowered her head, lost in thought, but remained silent. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Grace continued, "You betrayed Mom. Even though you've been good to us, you betrayed Mom, your sister. You owe her. This wasn't her choice; it was arranged by our parents. So, can't you seek revenge on my mom in a different way?"

Regina tightly pursed her lips, probably feeling resentful. However, the current situation didn't allow her to persist any longer. She could only speak softly, saying, "Grace, I know I've wronged your mom. I owe her. No matter what I say now, it won't make up for it. The only thing I can do is not be with him. That's all I can do. It's agonizing for me, especially when your mom treats me better and better. My guilt keeps growing."

Grace remained silent, her face expressionless. Observing this, Regina immediately repeated her feelings of guilt and self-blame, eventually bursting into tears. Perhaps men liked women like her- vulnerable and able to showcase their masculinity-hence why Brody remained devoted to Regina.

Grace pondered all this, and the inner torment within her continued to grow. She fell into silence, wondering how Page would feel if she knew everything.

They say that when someone dies, they briefly linger in this world. Would Page witness such a scene?

She must be regretting it deeply.

With these thoughts in mind, Grace couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, finding it particularly ironic.

Grace didn't want to discuss this topic further with Regina, especially since she believed Regina's words were insincere. If Regina had even the slightest guilt or remorse in her heart, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did. Besides, now she and Brody had a child who had grown so much, concealing the truth from everyone for so many years, causing Page to earnestly care for her. But what did it ultimately result in?

Grace couldn't swallow this injustice.

She narrowed her eyes, her face cold and indifferent, as she said, "Aunt, I just read the transcripts of your interrogation with Dad. Aren't you curious about what he actually said?"

Regina's curiosity didn't seem significant as she simply asked, "What did he say?"

"Dad told the police that this whole thing was actually your idea. You felt Mom was keeping too close an eye on him lately, not giving you both any time alone. So, you felt dissatisfied and believed it was a provocation. Then you advised Dad to act according to your wishes."

Grace stared at Regina without blinking, her expression devoid of any emotion. Not knowing what Regina was thinking, Grace continued, "Otherwise, we wouldn't be under constant surveillance while talking right now. If Ayan hadn't arranged everything, we probably wouldn't even have the chance to speak privately."

Grace pressed her lips together and let out a deep sigh, a tinge of regret evident. She said, "Aunt, honestly, I don't really believe it. Even though he's Dad, I hold a great deal of resentment towards him. If it wasn't for him, you and Mom wouldn't be in this state. You would have been the best of sisters. But because of his presence, the situation has turned out like this. So, I don't believe his words. I won't believe anything he says."

Grace looked at Regina, who was looking at her with sincerity. She said, "Aunt, can you tell me the truth? Are the things he said true? Can I believe them?"

Regina immediately denied without hesitation, "Of course, you can't believe him. He's just talking nonsense. He was the one who suggested the trip in the first place. He decided everything and only told me afterward. I didn't know anything before that, Grace. I won't deceive you. If I wanted to deceive you, I wouldn't even believe you, let alone confess everything. Trust me, Auntie. Although I betrayed your mother and made mistakes, what I'm saying now is the truth."

"Can I trust you, Aunt?"

"Of course you can. You have to trust me, Grace. I truly didn't know about this. It's all your father's doing. Your mother's death is directly related to him. He had planned everything in advance."

Regina was very excited because she was afraid Grace wouldn't believe her. So she revealed another thing, saying, "Grace, I have evidence. I can prove my innocence. Before this happened, I hadn't been in contact with him for a long time. I wanted Vere to study abroad, but he refused to pay. You know, I've been taking care of Vere and a small shop all these years. I can't afford the money for studying abroad on my own. I had to rely on him, but he suddenly refused to provide the money and even threatened me. I have conversations with him on my phone. You can take a look."

Regina told Grace that she and Brody had a separate WeChat account for communication. Her phone was confiscated by the police, but the WeChat clone was already logged in and always online.

After hearing this, Grace didn't ask if it was true. Instead, she instinctively looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner, reminding Camille to go and check Regina's phone.

Upon receiving the message, Camille immediately did as instructed.

From Regina's phone, Camille saw the second WeChat account mentioned, and the only contact in it was Brody.

The final conversation indeed matched what Regina had said. The two had a significant disagreement about Vere studying abroad. Brody didn't want their only son to leave Hance City, probably because of his old age and his previous illness, wanting the child to be close by and easily accessible whenever he wanted to see him. However, Regina disagreed. She wanted Vere to study abroad and eventually take over Armstrong Corp.

Therefore, the conversation between them showed a great deal of anger and displeasure towards each other, but it could only prove that something like this happened and couldn't completely clear Regina of any wrongdoing.

Camille spoke to Grace through her Bluetooth earpiece and said, "Tell Regina that she can only help herself. If she wants to clear her name and prove her innocence, she needs to present more favorable evidence. Just as she has one alternate account, she could have two. Also, tell her to find out where Vere is and that the other party insists on money. Now, there are two options: either report to the police or pay. Furthermore, you can also tell her that Dad is giving up the payment of five million dollars. He doesn't want to save Vere, but he plans to use the money to hire a lawyer for his own defense."

Armstrong Corp and Grace's approach to dealing with Regina is to sow discord, completely break them apart, and make them unable to trust each other's words.
