Chapter 691 A Misunderstanding
At first, Buckley was unsure whether he should do so.
The reason he was hesitant was also because of his driver.
The driver had been with him for several years and had done an excellent job. Buckley didn't want to see the driver sacrifice his life for naught when something like this occurred.
He did, however, figure it out later on.
In any case, a dead person could not see the fair judgement.
The most important thing was to take care of the driver's family on his behalf and not let any of them suffer any harm.
As for Clint, the Blaine family couldn't do anything to him now, but they would get their revenge sooner or later.
There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes at the thought of that.
However, it only lasted for a moment before dissipating.
His usual gentle demeanor soon showed.
"Since we don't have anything else to do, let's play chess," he said to Roland next to him.
He was the one who taught Roland how to play chess, and now, Roland was better at it.
However, Buckley's strategy of playing chess was different from his. Buckley was more conservative while Roland was more radical.
Therefore, if they were completely focused, the match could end in a tie.
Roland saw that Buckley was in good spirits, so he did not object and nodded in agreement.
After that, he took out the chess set from the cabinet next to him and sat down.
It had been almost half an hour when they had finished one match.
Roland won the match in the end.
Buckley shook his head helplessly as he looked at the chessboard, where not a single piece remained.
"I really have to admit that I am getting old. I can't win you now."
Roland responded with a smile, "You should be content. This is your teaching."
Hearing this, Buckley narrowed his eyes and grinned. Then he nodded. "Yes, as the saying goes, "the new overthrows the old." Well, how can the young achieve if we don't teach them? Do you agree?"
Roland nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you're right."
After that, he glanced at the time and added, "It's almost time. Let's go."
Buckley's smile gradually faded, and Roland pushed him to the living room.
At this time, Clint was still sitting in the living room.
Half an hour had passed. In fact, he already had an answer in his heart.
However, at the end of the day, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
As a result, when he saw Buckley, the first thing he said was not to agree with his terms, but to question, "How did you figure out it was me? Just because I like Sue?"
Buckley was surprised that Clint hadn't worked it out after half an hour.
Helplessly, he sighed and could only say that he had seen Clint that day.
Clint had not expected it to be this way.
It was only a minor blunder that caused him to fail badly at a simple task.
He chuckled bitterly in a self-mocking manner and said, "Fine. I admit that I was the perpetrator."
As he spoke, he abruptly raised his head and fixed his gaze on Buckley.
"But do you know why I did it?"
Buckley furrowed his brows and shook his head, then put on a reverent face of listening.
"Because you're too hypocritical!"
A ferocious expression soon appeared on Clint's face.
Then he scoffed at Buckley and said, "You appear gentle and kind on the outside, but in fact, you are the most selfish and self-centered person. You abandoned Sue and stayed with Charlotte because Charlotte was the eldest daughter of the Dawson family, right?"
"If that's the case, why were you flirting with Sue before that? You caused her to fall madly in love with you, leading her to do something so horrible that might have ruined her entire life."
"Do you know how difficult her life has been over the years? Every day and night, she has been weeping with regret. Do you know that to atone for her sins, she prayed for Charlotte weekly to redeem the mistakes she made?"
"You were to blame for everything. So, as long as you die, everything may be gone and forgotten."
"Then, Sue doesn't have to be upset every day. She also doesn't have to see you and Charlotte being in love."
"Buckley, you call yourself a gentleman, but you're a sc*mbag! It's a waste of Sue's love for you!"
After Buckley and Roland heard Clint's words, they were both astonished.
They would never have guessed Clint would say something like that.
At that moment, Clint had completely lost his usual refined and calm demeanor.
His entire body was tied. Sitting there, he looked like a vagrant about to go insane, whether it was the clothes on his body or expression.
Buckley remained silent for a moment before letting out a sigh.
"I didn't know... you guys would think like this."
His tone was a little gruff. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Roland frowned.
He didn't know much about what had happened at that time.
He only knew some from rumors.
Thus, it was difficult for him to say anything at this time.
Buckley did not utter a word for a while. Later, he went on saying, "I honestly didn't expect things to turn out this way. If I'd known, I wouldn't have approached her at the time, and I wouldn't have felt sorry for her, and..."
As soon as he said that, Roland's heart skipped a beat.
"Dad, did you really..."
Buckley raised his head and scowled at Roland. "What are you thinking about? She was a little girl at that time, and I thought she was pitiful. Although she was a member of the Dawson family, she often overthought because she was sensitive and egoistic. So I tried to speak with her."
"Charlotte and I had already known each other at the time. Sue was her younger sister, so I took extra special care of her."
"That time, Charlotte was studying abroad. Sue was my student, and I didn't avoid her at the thought of her not having any other siblings."
"Later, I realized she had feelings for me, but it was too late. Besides, she never directly confessed her love to me. I'm a guy, and I can't just go up to her to reject her, right?"
"Wouldn't it hurt her pride? That's why I didn't say anything at that moment. Plus, I thought that there would be a perfect solution to prevent her from getting hurt."
"As for what happened after, you guys already know it. Charlotte and I held a wedding when she returned. It was at that time that Sue discovered Charlotte was my girlfriend."
"At the time, Sue was unwilling to accept the truth, but I told her frankly that I simply treated her as a sister and had no feelings for her."
