Chapter 408
“You don’t love me, but I don’t blame you for that. I kept a*suming that time would help you get over it, and that you would fall in love with me someday.
“I didn’t mind the cold treatment you gave me. I thought that you would love the child because we were a family. So, I wanted to take good care of her and see her grow up.
“But when I saw her slowly lose her vitality, I resented you to the bone for being heartless. How could you be that cruel? You’d rather give that bitch all of your love instead of giving a smidgen of it to us. So, I swore that I was going to make you regret it for the rest of your life.”
Her eyes turned ferocious as she continued, “Later, I found out that Chloe was pregnant. I lost my child, so how could she have a family and a child that loved her? Which was why I set everything up. I stole her baby right after she gave birth.”
Chris muttered, “That baby was… Marina!”
“That’s right. Don’t you love that bitch so much?” Helen’s face was contorted with madness. “But I overestimated you. Marina was younger than our child, yet you didn’t catch on. Still, I think that it makes sense to some degree too. Why would you care about my baby?
“So, I treated Marina well and let her know that the person you loved was someone else. Resentment is a seed. Once it takes root in your heart, it’ll only grow.
“I took care of her round the clock and manipulated her thoughts. I watched her grow up harboring resentment against you and Chloe. After that, I staged my death. As I expected, you got married to Chloe not long after my death.”
Chris’ face turned crimson. “I thought you were dead. I …”
He couldn’t find an excuse because he really owed Helen.
“You didn’t return home for three years during our marriage. But after you got married to her, you gave up on your business and gave her a peaceful life only because she was worried about you.
“What does that make me? What does that make my baby and the years I put in? She was such a cute little girl! She called me ‘Mom’ too!”
“Helen, I didn’t do that to let you down on purpose.’
“Chris, I don’t think you know that Chloe’s miscarriage wasn’t an accident. Her daughter poured vegetable oil over the stairs on purpose to make her fall. Her daughter indirectly killed that little baby in Chloe’s womb. I take it as compensation for my dead baby.”
Helen added, “But how was that enough? I taught Marina to add musk to Chloe’s skincare products and the gla*s of milk she drank every day. That’s why Chloe became barren.”
Chris’ expression changed when he heard that. “How could you be this evil?”

“Evil?” She chuckled. “What if I tell you that I’m the reason why she’s suffering from leukemia? I hired the Carltons to add something to her food.”
Chris’ eyes widened as he grabbed her neck. “You should come at me and me only! She’s innocent. How could you be that cruel to her?”
“You’re the cause of my misfortune. Had it not been for her, you wouldn’t have treated me coldly. Chris Carlton, this is what you owe me. Don’t worry, I’ve returned her child to her. Marina has been sent to the hospital.”
She smiled brightly. “I kept my promise for yesterday’s deal. Marina’s bone marrow is compatible with Chloe’s. It’s not too late to perform the surgery now.
“But Marina’s weak at this moment. It’s up to her if she’s able to survive the surgery. I wonder who you will choose between your wife and your daughter.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
