The words he said could never be taken back.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the astonishment on Grace\u2019s face, he looked calmer instead.<\/p>\n<p>Grace stared at the old man in front of her surprisingly\u2026 She couldn\u2019t figure out why in the world a father would be cruel enough to kill his own daughter with his own hands. Even Jafar James, Grace\u2019s father, would not do such thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you have the heart to do this!\u201d She angrily denounced\u2026Even her relationship with Wallis was terribly bad, but she couldn\u2019t keep her composure now as she heard about such a shocking thing as a father killing his daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d She looked at Sam, \u201cWhy! Why would you do that? Aren\u2019t you afraid of the punishment from the God!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She wasn\u2019t seeking justice for Wallis. Instead, she just couldn\u2019t feel at ease about this. Originally, she thought that she had witnessed all the glory, splendor, wealth and rank when she was twenty. After that, she had experienced the greatest pain and tortures in her life, dropping down to survive as a lowly person.<\/p>\n<p>She had gone through the good thing and the bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>She thought nothing would be more difficult to shock her in this world. Today, however, someone stood in front of her and told her without any guilt that: I killed my daughter with my own hands and blamed everything onto you.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t about seeking justice for Wallis.<\/p>\n<p>It was for her unjust verdict! She also wanted to know\u2026 Why!<\/p>\n<p>What made a father killed his own daughter\u2026 She wasn\u2019t stupid enough to believe that Sam killed his daughter just to frame her\u2026 It didn\u2019t make sense!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d Sam laughed sarcastically: \u201cGo ask the God when you go to the hell!\u201d With that said, he narrowed his eyes. Grace clearly noticed the murderous look of the old man. Her heart jolted all of a sudden, this person was about to kill her!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait a minute!\u201d She shouted with her raucous voice: \u201cSam, no matter what you want to do, please wait first. I\u2026 want to exchange a secret about Wallis with you. The condition is, you have to tell me why you did that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her heart was jumping up and down harshly. Although she knew that she couldn\u2019t make it out alive, yet she was not reconciled to die with confusion in her mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSam, you gotta let me die for a reason. Why would you kill your own daughter, Wallis Venus, at that time\u2026 You don\u2019t just do that to frame me, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incident happened that year caused me three years of imprisonment. At least, tell me the reason before I die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If there was hell in this world, would there be negative 18 floors under the hell? Who could tell?<\/p>\n<p>If one couldn\u2019t figure it out when one was alive, would one count on asking Hades?<\/p>\n<p>Sam originally wanted to kill Grace right away, but after hearing Grace\u2019s sincere words, his old eyes revealed signs of contemplation.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Wallis\u2019 secret mentioned by Grace, Sam\u2026 seemed to be interested in it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, tell me about it. But I have to warn you something. If you just say something random and call it Wallis\u2019 secret, then don\u2019t blame me for breaking the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grace nodded hurriedly:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWallis cried with her eyes red once, and she told me that you disliked and avoided her for not being a boy. And you considered her to be a disgrace. You even had an illegitimate child, who died from a car accident later. She cried for a long time because of this. She said, even if you don\u2019t like her, but he was still her brother. However, you don\u2019t even allow her to see her brother until he died. She was upset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sam had an illegitimate child\u2026 This, should be counted as a secret, right?<\/p>\n<p>Grace was worried that Sam would not accept this deal, but she didn\u2019t expect Sam, after hearing her words, suddenly outraged:<\/p>\n<p>Sam continued: \u201cWallis Venus was not my daughter at all!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boom!<\/p>\n<p>It was as though something just exploded beside Grace\u2019s ears!<\/p>\n<p>She was so blown away by Sam\u2019s words that she didn\u2019t even have the time to think.<\/p>\n<p>She looked petrified, couldn\u2019t recover from it for a while\u2026 Wallis Venus\u2026 wasn\u2019t Sam\u2019s daughter\u2026 But\u2026 But\u2026 Her hands, which were tied on the back of the chair, shuddered harshly, she couldn\u2019t stop trembling. Her fingernails stabbed into the palm forcefully. Warm blood streamed out from the palms of both hands, dripping onto the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Before Grace could digest these facts, Sam stared at her ferociously:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut no matter how bad Wallis was, I have raised her for more than ten years. I would even have feelings for an animal after such a long time! Grace, after all, it was all because of you. If you kept your appointment and came over, if Wallis didn\u2019t suffer from the atrocity and humiliation from those a*ssholes for you, and I didn\u2019t see how wretched she looked at that time\u2014 She was already selected by the mister, but she was no longer a pure virgin. Therefore, she had no reason to be alive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, if it was not your failure to keep your appointment, then how would Wallis suffer for you. You were supposed to undergo all of that!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I, if it weren\u2019t you, how would I think of her heartlessness and cruelty to my son, how would I kill her because she was no longer a virgin?\u2026 After all, she was raised by me for more than twenty years as my own daughter!\u201d Sam sneered:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you are the one who causes this! You made me kill the child raised by me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the insane old man and hearing his ridiculous speech, Grace felt her heart as dry as a desert at this moment.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t tell the old man that: I have a black mole on the sole of my right foot since childhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1403","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
