I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
Chapter 197 Forcing Him to Reveal the Truth
“You bitch! You can still laugh now! You murderer! You heartless bitch!”
His voice became agitated and tinged with seething anger, “If it were not because of you, Wallis wouldn’t have been gone from this world at a tender age from the beginning. If it were not because of you, how could Wallis become a victim of those barbaric animals! It was all because of you! You evil heartless bitch!”
Grace was tied to a chair which had one of its legs severed in half as she stared blankly at the elderly person who was cursing at her.
“I couldn’t believe that Wallis had been seeing you as her friend, and a best friend at that. But what have you done in return? What the hell have you done?”
Sam was shaking Grace along with the chair violently as if he was transferring his anger through this motion. His eyes were dripping with venomous hatred!
Grace had endured his onslaught of wrath silently, until Sam had mentioned that “Wallis had been seeing you as her friend”… This was the last straw for her!
“I used to think the same many years ago. Wallis was indeed my best friend and I was her best friend in turn.” Sam glared at the girl tied to the chair who was starting a muffled chuckle. As if he was overcome with poison, it penetrated through his body … Slap!
“You still dare to laugh! You still have the guts to laugh!”
His slap was strong enough to completely twist Grace’s face in another direction. Her head was tilted sideways as her body remained motionless, half-leaning on the chair. Although her mouth was throbbing with pain due to the slap, she looked unfazed while maintaining her posture as she slowly opened her mouth, “Sam, do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I wouldn’t be able to figure things out after spending three years in prison?” Her head gradually spun around so that her gaze was now falling upon Sam’s distorted face.
“Who was the instigator? Who was the one harboring ill intentions? And who was the one failing spectacularly instead in her actions and got who she deserved?” She spelled out each word with conviction. Her voice was crystal clear. Although the corner of her mouth was decimated due to that slap, she still insisted to make her thoughts clear here and now!
It was as though she would finally be able to clear the mess entangling her and Wallis through her announcement here. This was also her plead to reveal Wallis’ crime even after all these years!
How could she not be sure of every detail here?
She was the one who had fallen from the apex of the pyramid into a muddy swarm. She understood that these seemingly insignificant details in others’ eyes were paramount to her. She must hold on to every leverage she could get so that she could be sure of her own decision and concern!
