Chapter 252 The Secret After Falling off the Cliff
"Forty years ago.
"Annabel, the second lady of the Lewis family, and I were in love with each other, and we made a promise for life.
"Just when we were almost married, someone from the Lewis family came and brought Annabel back, saying that an accident happened to her sister, Fiona.
"It was only after returning that she found out that Fiona had been robbed by bandits and hadn't been seen for many days.
"At that time, the wedding between Fiona and the first son of the Ashford family, Beckett was coming soon. The Lewis family had already used the huge sum of money it had received from the Ashford family as the wedding gift for developing its businesses. This meant that it did not have the ability to return the money. Therefore, it had no choice but to make Lady Annabel marry Beckett in Lady Fiona's place.
"Annabel refused to agree no matter what, but her mother Laura ate rat poison and threatened with her life, and almost died.
"Annabel had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
"Her parents told her that she was only a temporary replacement, and when Fiona was found, Annabel could regain her freedom.
"I rented a house near the Lewis Villa, and while waiting for Annabel, I helped find Fiona's whereabouts.
"Before I found Fiona, Annabel suddenly told me that she fell in love with Beckett and was pregnant with Beckett's child, and told me to find a good woman to marry, and not to wait for her.
"I couldn't accept the reality, but I also knew that she had no choice. She was already married, how could she escape all that?
"With a heavy heart, I agreed to her, but I was reluctant to leave.
"Every day, I secretly waited at her door, just for the chance to see her.
"I knew exactly when she went to the wet market, when she went shopping, and who she went out with.
"At first, I thought that Fiona was dead, which was why Annabel had no hope and didn't want to drag me down, so she let me go.
"It was only later that I found out that Fiona was not dead, and had always wanted to regain her position of Mrs. Ashford.
"How I wished Annabel would return the position of Mrs. Ashford to Fiona, so that I could take her far away.
"However, Annabel really fell in love with Beckett and gave birth to a pair of twin sons for him.
"Not long after, Fiona also gave birth to a daughter, who was said to be the child of a bandit.
"Annabel was married and had a child. I knew the right thing to do was leave, but I really couldn't let go.
"Fiona bullied Annabel since she was a child. I was worried that Annabel would be bullied by her sister again. Apart from eating and sleeping, and occasionally helping people appraise antiques, I was always watching from the Ashford family's door.
"This lasted for as long as 20 years, I knew that it was wrong for me to do so, but if I didn't see Annabel for a day, I would panic and couldn't find any reason to live.
"One day, I saw Annabel go out again.
"This time, she was accompanied by the butler and Fiona's daughter.
"They drove, not to go shopping, nor to the wet market, but to the direction of the cliff. I thought it was abnormal, so I followed them.
"They went there by car, and I went there on foot, which of course was much slower. When I arrived, Annabel was already hanging on the edge of the cliff.
"Fiona was poking Annabel's hand with a needle. I wanted to go to save Annabel, but Annabel told me to leave quickly.
"Fiona saw me, kicked Annabel off the cliff, and then came to kill me.
"I ran away desperately, but no matter how fast I ran, how could I be faster than a car? Fiona drove a car and chased me like a maniac.
"I couldn't outrun her, so the car hit me in the end.
"Fiona is an extremely vicious person. She not only hit me, but also was not satisfied with just that and ran me over one more time, afraid that I might survive.
"Fortunately, there was a big rock next to me, and the wheels drove on the rock for a while before going over me, so the force was much reduced.
"When I woke up, I was in a town hospital. A kind doctor rescued me. I suffered a comminuted fracture of one leg. The doctor performed an operation on me and I stayed in the hospital for half a month."
