Chapter 392 I Don't Believe It
The bodyguards waited outside for a while, but nobody came out. By the time they noticed that something was not right, the ladies' restroom window was opened, and Serenity was long gone.
"Still got away, didn't I?" Serenity preened to herself when she turned back and saw no guards, fishing out a mask to cover her face.
Suddenly, there was a throb on the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness.
She did not know how long it had been when she opened her bleary eyes. The memory of being knocked unconscious rushed back into her mind as Serenity perked up in alertness instantly.
Where was she?
"You're awake.” A voice that had been engineered so that one could not guess its identity sounded.
Jolting, Serenity turned to see a computer. A video was playing on the computer, showing her a seated person whose face was blurry.
The video was carefully edited as the person's face and figure, as well as the background, were a complete smudge of a silhouette. Nothing could be picked up from it.
Serenity was a Wright, so she calmed down almost
instantly. "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Good question." The person looked at Serenity calmly. "Before I tell you who I am, I'd like to tell you who you are."
What the f*ck?
Serenity chuckled dryly. "Do I need you to tell me who I am? Speak if you have something to say. If not, you better let me go now! My family will be looking for me, and when they do, you're doomed."
The person’s tone was still composed. "Your mother's name is Faye Shannon. She’s an orphan.”
"You captured me here to make me listen to this nonsense?" Serenity frowned.
The person ignored Serenity as he continued to speak. "When she was 22, she died during labor to give birth t o you. Those people told you this, right?"
Serenity creased her brows deeper. What was wrong with this person? He seemed to imply that her mother did not die from difficult labor.
"What do you want to say?" Serenity stared at him coldly.
"Have you ever thought that your mother didn’t die from difficult labor, but someone else caused her death? And the people who caused it are the ones you call mom and dad right now?" The person's voice dripped in unadulterated hatred.
"Nonsense!" Serenity stood up abruptly with rage
flashing in her eyes. "Stop slandering my parents."
Ever since Serenity was born, she had only ever seen her parents from photos. As far as she could remember, she was a Wright, and George and Luna were her closest family. She would never allow this person to smear her parents.
"Nonsense? Me?” The person snorted. "Why did you think George Wright adopted you! Because you're the daughter of his best friend? No! It's because he felt guilty!"
"Sh*t up! I don't want to listen to you blubbering nonsense anymore. I'm leaving." Serenity spoke as she went to open the door, but it was locked from the outside. No matter how she rammed at the door, it would not open.
The person continued talking, the voice like an enchanting recitation that crept into Serenity’s ears.
"Twenty-five years ago, your mother and George Wright were a couple. George looked dependent, and your mother had her entire self devoted to him-if it was not him, she wouldn't marry anyone else! Despite that, just as your mother thought that George was going to be her life partner, Luna Harris appeared. George was attracted to Luna's background, thinking that the Harris could help him go further in career, so he cruelly abandoned your mother to court Luna."
Unable to break the door open, Serenity could not help glaring at the computer. "Stop smearing my parents!"
What was this person cooking up? Her dad would never be someone to resort to any length just to climb up the ladder in life.
The person ignored Serenity's raging emotions and continued. "Your mother loved George Wright deeply. Abandoned, she was shocked and anguished. She was like how you’re now, unable to believe that he was someone like that. She went to question him, why would he do something like that to her, but he chased her away coldly. Later, to stop your mother from bothering him, he even sent her to the bed of his friend."
The person's voice turned shrill at this part. "Your mother was taken advantage of just like that, and she got you!"
"Sh*t up, you, sh*t up!" Serenity did not want to hear another word as she tried to cover her ears.
Somehow, it was like the person’s words had some sort of magic as they resonated in her mind.
"Being single and pregnant was a taboo back in the days. Bearing you, your mother could only resign to her fate and marry the man. But she didn't like him. All the while, she lived in pain and even fell into depression. After that, your birth father died, leaving your mother caring for you alone. Without anyone to depend on, your mother took you to find George Wright for help, and he was totally capable of helping her then! But he didn't! He drove your mother out the door, uncaring of her life and death. If your mother hadn't met someone helpful then, she might have died with you in her stomach."
"George Wright and family were chased off to the south after that. Your poor mother stayed on in Skyking City. She gave birth to you alone, wailing and shouting George Wright’s name!"
The person's voice shook from fury. "Due to her emotional state, she lost too much blood during labor and died on the spot! Serenity, don't you think her death is caused by that bastard George Wright? If he hadn't abandoned her, if he hadn't sent her to some other man's bed, your mother wouldn't have ended up like that!"
"You're making this up." Serenity's voice went sharp i n tone. "My dad would never do something like that."
"You're still calling him dad! He isn't your father. He's the one who killed your mother! Why did you think he took you in? It's just for his barely existent conscience for causing your mother's death," the person snarled. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Whatever you say, I'll never believe you." Serenity ground her teeth. "I have my eyes and my heart to see what my family's like. I can feel it!" 4
"George Wright is pretending! Serenity, remember, he’s the one who killed your mother. He's your enemy,” the person growled.
"I don't believe it," Serenity repeated stubbornly.
