Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 955

Seeing Patrick, Amber practically screamed, "Patrick, call an ambulance! Get your uncle to the hospital! Hurry! Please, you have to save him!"

But Patrick just stood there, his expression utterly detached, completely ignoring her frantic pleas.

Amber stared at him, bewildered.

"You idiot!" Isabella laughed mockingly. "Let me spell it out for you. Patrick is the one who ordered me to do this!"

Amber's eyes widened in sheer horror as she looked at her son. "Patrick, is that true? Why would you want to kill your uncle? Why?"

"Don't play dumb," Patrick sneered. "On the surface, he was just your adoptive brother, but behind closed doors, you two have been sleeping together for decades. Did you really think he didn't need to be eliminated? Besides, look at the mess he made of my companies. He convinced you to let him manage my assets, put my name down as the legal fall guy for all his shady deals, and pocketed all the profits. He drained my accounts and set traps for me to take the fall. Worse, he was trying to seize total control and push me out of my own empire! Why wouldn't I get rid of someone trying to destroy me?"

That was why he had used Isabella as his weapon.

Declan died at the hands of his own daughter. Even if the police investigated, the murder would be pinned entirely on Isabella. Patrick's hands remained spotless.

"No! That's a lie!" Amber sobbed. "He did everything to help you! Without his connections abroad, you never would have built the capital to rival Ethan!"

"He was only helping himself! You were completely blind to his manipulation!" Patrick scoffed.

At that moment, Declan convulsed in Amber's arms, coughed up another dark surge of blood, and went completely still.

"Declan! Declan, wake up! Please don't die! Don't leave me alone!"

Amber's screams tore through the room, her voice breaking with pure agony.

Losing the only man she truly loved felt like a physical blade twisting in her chest.

Amber stared at her son, horrified by the absolute void of empathy in his eyes.

"Patrick... how did you turn into this? How could you become such a monster?"

"You made this mess! You killed my mother, and now you're paying for it!" Isabella yelled.

"Even if I did, you should have come after me! Why did you have to kill him? He was the love of my life!" Amber wept, her eyes swollen and red.

"Love of your life?" Isabella threw her head back and cackled. "Do you honestly think he loved you?"

"Of course he did!"

"I used to think I was the only pathetic fool in the world, but you're just as stupid as I am! Let me break it down for you. You meant absolutely nothing to Declan. If you two were so madly in love, why didn't he just run away with you? Why were you suddenly forced to marry Xavier?"
