Chapter 686 Flashback
In the end, Sue knelt straight down just as Charlotte was about to walk out the door.
"I beg you, Charlotte, please forgive me! I'm sorry. I've already realized my mistake. I've been blaming myself for the past 26 years. I truly hate myself for being so stupid at the time. Because I was blinded by love, I plotted against you and Buckley."
"But I was very young and immature at the time. I had no idea you two were dating when I first met him. I had always assumed that he liked me, but he never confessed to me because I was still young."
"Later, I realized that all of his special attention for me was because I am your sister. Then I became jealous of you!"
"At the time, I was constantly wondering why you were born with everything, including beauty, family background, status, and money. You don't have to put in a lot of effort to get anything."
"As for me? Although I am adopted by the Dawson family, everyone knows that I was bought to be your playmate."
"Because they have only you as a daughter. They regard you as a gem, so they got me to accompany you."
"I'm no different from the dolls in your room! Do you think I'm having a good time? No! I'm not happy at all!"
"Everyone knows that you are very excellent. You've had all the love in the world since birth, but what about me? I am nothing more than an insignificant playmate by your side."
"Everyone's eyes are on you. Charlotte, I'm really jealous! But there is nothing I can do. I was not born rich. I'm just a playmate that your family adopted."
"That is why I have nothing to say and am afraid to say anything. I don't even have any expectations for my life. In this life, I will only do whatever to repay the Dawson family's kindness."
"But after meeting Buckley, I realized I was wrong! I'm a human, not a robot. I have my own emotions, as well as my own selfish motives."
"I adored him and desperately desired to be with him. He was like a ray of light in my dark life at the time, but you took him away in the end."
"Yes. You two are a perfect match. But what about me? What am I? My affection and infatuation are not acknowledged to others."
"I couldn't accept it! That was why I drugged him and made him do such a terrible thing on your wedding night. But, Charlotte, we really did not sleep together!"
"I just wanted to take revenge on you. After all, if I really did something to Buckley, he would never forgive me for the rest of his life. So, I couldn't bring myself to do it."
"It's all my fault for causing you to misunderstand. But haven't I been repenting for my sins for a long time?"
"I've sent you numerous emails over the past few years. I've already told you the truth about that year to beg your forgiveness."
"What about you, though? You've never replied, not even with an emoji or a symbol. Shouldn't there be a time limit?"
"I don't have much time left to live. I know you still hate me but is my mistake really irredeemable?"
"Are you still unwilling to forgive me after so many years of regret, even though I have done so much? Do you really want me to leave the world with regrets?"
Charlotte's eyes moved when she heard this.
When Sue finally finished after a while, Charlotte questioned faintly, "Are you done?"
Sue's face was pale as she fixed her gaze on Charlotte.
Only then did Charlotte smile and turn back, saying, "In the end, you're just venting your grievances and claiming your innocence. Also, you criticize me for being mean and ruthless. Speaking of which, you are apologizing to me, but where's your sincerity?"
Sue's body became sluggish.
She then looked up at Charlotte with a pale face.
"I've already said it..."
"Well, you've apologized, but do you really mean it?"
After, Charlotte walked up to Sue and squatted down to look at her.
There was a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were calm and cold. She didn't show much emotion, and her eyes had a hint of irony in them.
"While you admitted you were wrong, you also stated that our family mistreated you. But where's the evidence?"
"You said that our family adopted you solely as my playmate, but have you ever seen a playmate who lives a luxury lifestyle?"
"Have you ever seen a playmate who studies abroad? Have you ever seen a playmate who is treated with dignity and respect wherever she goes?"
"You've always felt that our family owed you, but why don't you think about your life before you met us?"
Charlotte's nonchalant words struck Sue's heart like a heavy bolt of lightning.
Sue sat there dazed, staring at Charlotte in disbelief.
She recalled the days in the orphanage before being adopted by the Dawson family.
She was abandoned at the orphanage's door as a child where the dean found her. She was only one month old.
There were no online media at the time, so they published her photos in the newspaper. Later, they let her stay in the orphanage when no one came to claim her after a month.
Because the dean's surname was Abel, he named her Sue Abel.
Everyone was struggling at the time, let alone a place like an orphanage.
Although the dean was a very nice person, there were far too many orphans in the orphanage. He couldn't pay attention to everyone, no matter how hard he tried.
As a result, Sue became the loneliest girl in the orphanage.
Not all children in the world were sweet and innocent.
In such an environment, the children abandoned by their parents were sensitive and self-abased.
Not only were they not adorable, but they also had a slew of other flaws. On the other hand, some kids even isolate themselves after what they've experienced.
Some of them even formed cliques to bully other kids. They also stole Sue's candy and clothes in a place where the dean couldn't see them.
