Chapter 473 Xavier Learns the Truth About His Mother's Death
Patrick over there naturally knew what it was. He struggled to get up, his eyes even more bloodshot.
"Grace, didn't you say you didn't record anything?"
"Deception, didn't I learn that from you?"
This was a recording of Grace's last conversation with Patrick. The recording was very clear, and Patrick confessed everything.
Xavier listened, moving from surprise to shock.
Grace's engagement was actually with him!
It turned out that Donna had arranged his engagement with Grace with Grace's mother, Evelyn, not Grace's engagement with Ryan.
Patrick, in his madness to obtain the crystal and Evelyn's belongings, had killed Donna.
For the ridiculous sake of money, Patrick took Donna's life. He was the murderer.
Donna and Evelyn were actually good friends. She wasn't the one who killed Donna; it was all a facade created by Patrick.
Grace was never Ryan's wife; she was his wife!
"Xavier, are you okay?" Grace looked at Xavier's expression, his eyes seemed to glisten with tears.
Grace couldn't help but reach out and hold Xavier's hand.
She knew Xavier might not be able to accept it, but the truth was the truth.
However, Xavier pulled Grace into his arms, his hand tightly holding her head. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Your mother's death had nothing to do with my mother; it was all Patrick. I told you before, I believe my mother wasn't that kind of person."
"I'm sorry."
Xavier's heart ached. He almost hurt Grace because of these things.
He had thought Evelyn killed Donna and that Grace was the daughter of his mother's murderer.
The events of the past were too long ago, and Patrick had erased those traces over the years, so Xavier couldn't find out the truth.
And with Patrick throwing out some other clues, Xavier was successfully misled.
Fortunately, he and Grace got closer and pulled these twisted tracks back to the right path.
He and Grace were meant to be together; it was destined from childhood.
"I'm fine, but what about you? Are you okay?"
Xavier let go of Grace. "You all go out first. I have something to talk to Patrick about alone."
Alone, which meant Patrick's good days were over.
Grace was worried but knew this was the hatred between Xavier and Patrick that had to end sooner or later.
The softest part of Xavier's heart was probably Donna. Now that he knew the truth about Donna's death and the murderer was right in front of him, he couldn't do nothing.
Grace went out first. Ryan and his group were all driven out, and the other servants dispersed.
The live broadcast also abruptly ended at this time.
The netizens were left wanting more. "What's going on? Why did it suddenly stop?"
"What does that last recording mean? I don't understand. Can someone summarize?"
"Let me. I know the Montgomery family's grudges. Now, the president of the DG Group, Xavier, and the Montgomery family of Skigeth are one family. Xavier is considered an illegitimate child."
"Then it seems Xavier was brought back to the Montgomery Mansion when he was ten, but Patrick didn't treat him and his mother well. The family couldn't accommodate them. Later, Xavier's mother died, and not long after, Xavier left the Montgomery Mansion. He went to Oakworth to make a living on his own when he was still a child."
"The recording roughly means that Xavier's mother's death was actually Patrick's doing. The engagement at that time was set by Xavier's mother and Grace's mother for them, but Patrick seemed to covet Grace's things, so he killed Xavier's mother and took the token, pretending it was an engagement between Grace and Ryan."
"Later, Grace's mother also died. Only then did Patrick take out the token as evidence and fooled everyone. This Patrick is really something, scheming for so many years."
"So, Patrick is the murderer. But this is a crime; how many people has he killed?"
"This kind of person is too scary. He did so much charity work; was it to clear his name?"
"He deserves the death penalty. If I were Xavier, I'd want to kill him."
"So, Patrick's father was also a scumbag, having affairs and mistresses. It runs in the family. Xavier and Grace are very innocent. Xavier was so young and bullied, and he couldn't choose his birth. Grace almost got tricked into marrying Ryan. Luckily, Grace firmly chose to break off the engagement."
"Let's all boycott the Montgomery Group and report Patrick. Such a person doesn't deserve to live."
The online discussion was intense. Inside the Montgomery Mansion, only Xavier and Patrick were left.
Xavier stood up, step by step approaching Patrick.
His eyes seemed to carry knives. Just looking at Patrick made Patrick feel pain all over, as if he had countless wounds.
"What are you going to do, Xavier? I'm your brother. We share the same blood!"
Patrick's eyes were filled with terror. This Xavier really seemed like a demon from hell, here to claim his life.
Patrick was terrified, scooting backward on the ground.
"Is everything in the recording true?" Xavier's light voice carried a sense of suppression.
"Xavier, don't be impulsive. Listen to me. I was just confused at the time. I really didn't mean to kill your mother. She was too fragile. I didn't expect her to jump into the sea."
"We're family!" Before Patrick could finish, a scream rang out.
Xavier's long leg stomped directly on Patrick's face, his polished shoe grinding into Patrick's face. "You think you deserve to be family with me?"
"The thing I hate most and can't change in this life is having the same genes as you."
"That man ruined my mother's life, and you took her life."
His eyes were filled with pain, and he said word by word, "You all deserve to die!"
Through the door, Patrick's screams could be heard outside.
Grace didn't know what Xavier did, but she was sure it was revenge.
Grace also knew Patrick wouldn't die. Xavier wouldn't kill. Even in his rage, he was rational.
Patrick not dying might be Xavier's last mercy. After all, some people living to see the world turn against them is more painful than death.
