The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 369

The bleak smile on Nora's face instantly froze, her pupils contracting violently.

The guests outside had accused her, the police suspected her, Julian hated her to the bone, and even the man she had loved for ten years, Gideon, wanted to strangle her in the hallway.

She could grit her teeth and bear all of this because they simply didn't care about her.

But now, these two elderly people sitting across the glass were the parents who gave birth to her and raised her.

In this world, even her closest parents secretly suspected she was actually a murderer.

"Dad... Mom..."

Nora spoke, her voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, overflowing with self-deprecation and a desolate, deathly sorrow.

"Even you... even you think that I personally pushed Giselle off that rooftop, don't you?"

She let out a self-deprecating laugh, large tears smashing onto the metal rings of her handcuffs, shattering into tiny droplets.

"Everyone in The Metropolis says I'm a jealous, crazy woman who stops at nothing to climb the social ladder. Gideon wanted to strangle me in the hallway. I accepted all of that."

"But you are my parents... You were the ones who brought me back all those years ago. Don't you know what kind of person I am?!"

"No... Nora, that's not what Mom meant! How could Mom not believe you!"

Seeing her daughter lose control of her emotions, Mrs. Xavier immediately panicked, crying even harder as she hurriedly explained.

"Mom just... Mom just watched you suffer in here for a full twenty-four hours, battered and bruised all over. My heart feels like it's being sliced open by a knife!"

"Gideon is being too ruthless this time. He won't even let you touch the core legal team of The Hayes Group. He's not leaving you any shred of mercy or leeway!"
