Chapter 381

Brielle couldn’t help but doubt the sincerity of the woman before her. After years of blind

devotion, how could she suddenly see the light?

Was Sue just probing her?

Before Brielle could respond, Sue continued to mutter to herself.

“It’s all my fault. I’ve ruined everything, my parents, Sarah… I kept thinking Simon would

change. for the better. I’ve invested so much. Quitting now would be like abandoning

everything I’ve worked for, right?”

A flicker of understanding crossed Brielle’s eyes. Staying with a guy like Simon was like

playing the slots in Vegas. Once you started, you couldn’t pull yourself away because you

were convinced that the next pull might be the jackpot. That tantalizing taste of victory

was addictive, and the rollercoaster ride of highs and lows was overwhelmingly

disorienting.

So, of course, Sue wouldn’t snap out of it that quickly. Others must have warned her about

Simon before.

Her current confession was nothing more than a test for Brielle. But at least, Brielle

thought, Sue was starting to think for herself.

“Sue, after you leave the precinct, check this place out,” Brielle said, handing her a scrap

paper.

Sue instinctively stepped back, her guard up. She clearly didn’t trust Brielle.

Brielle had no patience for further talk. She tossed the note and walked away.

The address on the paper made Sue’s pupils shrink. It was the house she had sold off long

ago, a place she hadn’t returned to since.

What was Brielle implying?

Seeing the confusion etched on Sue’s face, Brielle offered a reminder, “Aren’t you curious

to see who ended up with the house you sold for a song?”

Sue clutched the paper, her heart pounding. Brielle wouldn’t share this address without

reason. “The cousin who introduced you to Simon, wasn’t she the one who came from the

countryside. seeking your help? She got your house for a steal and now has found herself

a decent guy. She’s living the dream with a perfect little family.”

That cousin, just like Simon, was uneducated. In her cousin’s eyes, Sue didn’t deserve her

city life or her college degree. She wanted to ruin Sue, so she set her up with Simon.

And Sue played right into her hands. Her life was shattered by Simon.

Sue collapsed, her mind buzzing, tears flowing like a faucet left open. Sue’s face turned

pale,

her mind buzzing. Her legs gave out, and she knelt on the ground.

She didn’t have the heart to ponder over Brielle’s intentions now. The fact that Brielle got

the guts to give her this address showed that it had been verified.

The happier her cousin led her life, the more it proved how successful her scheme was

back. then, and how much of a failure Sueu was.

She collapsed on the ground, trembling all over. This was ten thousand times more painful

than losing Simon.

After several minutes of silent weeping, she took a deep breath. She had planned to feign

trust in Brielle, to see what this smooth–talking woman was up to. She hadn’t expected

Brielle to drop such a bombshell.

“Brielle, you see me crying. Do you think I’m putting on an act? Do you find me

disgusting?”

“Not at all. But maybe you should cry at your parents‘ graves. They’d find peace knowing

you cared,” Brielle said coolly, having done her part regardless of Sue’s trust.

Brielle never believed in Sue anyway. Just like Max said, someone who didn’t care about

their own life was capable of anything.

Despair etched Sue’s face. “I still can’t let go of Simon. I know it’s my fault, my just

deserts. I loathe myself for it, yet I can’t stop arranging everything for him. I can’t visit my

parents‘ grave. The last thing I want is to make those who plotted everything pay, to at

least avenge Sarah.”

She was no qualified mother.

Brielle raised an eyebrow, gauging the truth in her words. Whether true or false, it was no

longer Brielle’s concern. She was no saint.

“That person is too powerful for you to touch,” Brielle said.

Sue looked up, determination in her eyes. “Just tell me who it is.”
