Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Cornered Truths

“You’ve wiped your own faults clean and dumped every bit of blame onto someone else!”

Agnes advanced step by step until she had Nadia pinned against the wall, each word cutting like a blade.

“It’s your greed, your selfishness, your shameless arrogance, and your twisted jealousy that have destroyed you and everyone around you!”

Nadia broke down, screaming, “No! No! No!

“If you hadn’t gone to Raymond, Ethan wouldn’t have jumped!

“If you hadn’t gone to the Nolans, I’d already be Mrs. Nolan! It’s you. This is all your fault!”

Agnes let out a cold laugh.

“Rebecca, does the whole world owe you something?

“If I hadn’t taken you in back then, you’d probably be under some bridge right now, freezing and starving like a stray dog.

“You repaid kindness with betrayal. Every bit of trust I gave you became a weapon you used against me!

“Just because you fell for a worthless man, all the inisery you suffered somehow becomes my bill to pay?

“You tried to drag me into hell again and again! Is this how you repay me, Rebecca?”

Agnes’s eyes burned red as she lunged forward and grabbed Rebecca by the throat.

Rebecca struggled desperately, her face twisted in pain, yet a bizarre smile crept across her lips as she rasped. “Agnes… if you… dare… then… kill me… esp da Lou…

“Even if… I die… I won’t… let you… go…”

The next second, Agnes flung her aside. Rebecca hit the ground hard and coughed violently.

Agnes stood over her, looking down coldly.

“After all this time, you haven’t reflected on a single thing.

“This time, I’m not giving you another chance.

“Polly’s death, you had a hand in it, didn’t you?”

Rebecca clutched her throat, still coughing, then let out a low, eerie laugh.

“What does that have to do with me? Don’t pin your crimes on me.

“What can you do to me, Agnes? Have Raymond kill me?

“There are still laws in this world T

Agnes said, “Polly’s boyfriend, Harold, said that before she died, she kept drawing an R on his palm.

At first, I couldn’t figure out why she kept doing that.

Now I get it, that R was the initial of your name, Rebecca.

“She recognized you.

“She rushed to meet me that day to tell me the truth, and on the way, she got into that accident.

“In the recording, she kept pressing you, asking you why you helped her go to Verdant Bloom while you stayed at Tidewhisper Lily.

“She even asked you how you knew my safe’s password.

“You never gave her a straight answer. I’m guessing she started suspecting you too, didn’t she?”

Agnes paused, then continued, “The last photo on Polly’s phone was of a woman bending down to pick something up.

“On that woman’s back, just barely visible, there was a scar.”

As she spoke, Agnes suddenly yanked Rebecca’s clothing aside, exposing her back.

“What are you doing, Agnes? Have you lost your mind?”

Agnes smiled and shoved her away.

“I remember you used to have a tattoo there. You had Ethan’s name inked on you.

“I’m guessing when you got your face done, you had that tattoo removed too, afraid someone might recognize you.

“Too bad it didn’t heal properly. The scar gave you away.”

Rebecca hurriedly pulled her clothes back into place, pressing herself against the wall as if trying to disappear.

Agnes said, “Your plan to use Verdant Bloom to destroy Tidewhisper Lily failed.

“You were afraid Polly would talk, afraid she’d betray you, so you went to warn her.

“But she accidentally saw the scar on your back. She started to suspect you. So you silenced her, for good!”
