Chapter 421 I Do
"It can't be! It's been almost twenty years, the evidence is long gone!"
"Unless that bitch Amanda comes back from the dead to accuse me, no one will ever know what happened to her!"
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, her anger burning fiercely within her!
Peter was also stunned. He never expected this matter to be related to Patrick's ex-wife, Amanda!
If this old case were to resurface, Tiffany's fate would be sealed!
No wonder Tiffany was so desperate to eliminate anyone in her way.
"Edward," Evelyn said worriedly, staring at Edward.
At this moment, Edward's eyes, once bright as stars, were now dark and hollow, staring intently at his phone screen. The tears in his eyes were more shattered than broken glass, making it unbearable to watch.
"No, there's still Nicole!"
Did this matter even involve Nicole?
Evelyn felt a chill down her spine, shivering with fear!
It was clear that Amanda's death back then was no accident but a trap meticulously set by Tiffany!
When Evelyn was still Edward's wife, she had asked May about Amanda's death. But every time, May was hesitant and secretive.
She said Edward didn't like anyone digging into Amanda's past.
She also said that Edward used to be a cheerful and playful young man.
Amanda's death had devastated Edward, almost destroying him.
Twenty years had passed, and Amanda died with resentment.
Meanwhile, the murderer Tiffany lived a life of luxury and privilege. Where was the justice in that?
"She's nothing! Just a discarded pawn! If she ever wants to return to Mugden, she better keep her mouth shut!"
"By the way, that maid I bribed back then, the one who was close to Amanda, have you been keeping an eye on her all these years?"
"Yes, she's been in Roam, running a small restaurant. She owes us, so naturally, she'll keep the secret."
"Good, very good."
Tiffany suddenly let out a sinister laugh, echoing in the dim interrogation room like an evil demon.
"Amanda died feeling guilty towards Edward. She probably could never forgive herself."
"The thought of Edward being played by Nicole, who was an accomplice, and never knowing the truth about his mother's death, brings me immense satisfaction! No matter how much I suffer, as long as I think of this, my heart feels so relieved and happy!"
A loud crash echoed!
Edward, breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, stood up abruptly, knocking over his chair. Every muscle in his tense body was filled with explosive tension, exuding a strong murderous aura!
"I want to kill her."
Evelyn was shocked, watching tears mixed with hatred and blood flow from his red eyes.
She had never seen Edward so angry and desperate.
His pale lips trembled slightly, the devastating blow pushing him into an abyss. The pain of knowing the cruel truth was like having his heart ripped out, no less than being skinned alive or burned by fire.
"I want to kill Tiffany, I want to kill her."
At this moment, Edward's reason was completely consumed by anger and rage. He clenched his fists tightly, like a mad beast trapped in a cage of hatred.
"I want everyone involved in my mother's death to die!"
Before he finished speaking, he was already rushing towards the door!
"Edward! Calm down, calm down!"
In desperation, Evelyn used all her strength, wrapping her arms around his tense waist from behind.
"Edward! Evelyn is right!"
Peter also rushed forward to block his way, looking into his pale face with sorrowful eyes, "Killing someone means paying with your life. Why would you pay with your life for these evil people?"
"If you really want to avenge your mother, you need to stay rational and clear-headed!"
"Tiffany deserves to die, but if you kill her, it's a life for a life! Is it worth it for such a venomous woman? What about Evelyn if something happens to you? Have you thought about that?"
Peter's words seemed to be the only thing that acted as a strong sedative, calming his painful heart.
Evelyn pressed all her strength against Edward's back, her face soaked in cold sweat, clinging to his spine, not moving an inch.
She could even clearly feel his heavy breathing gradually becoming even, his intense heartbeat slowly calming down.
But even so, she didn't relax at all.
She understood him.
If it were her mother, she might react even more terrifyingly.
After a long time, Edward, like a shattered soul regaining itself, gently placed his cold, wet hand over her reddened one, his voice trembling and hoarse.
"Evelyn, I'm sorry I scared you."
Evelyn's heart ached, shaking her head with her eyes closed.
Edward could be so foolish sometimes.
At this moment, he was still apologizing to her. What did he do wrong?
He was clearly the most miserable person in the world right now.
"But Evelyn, what should I do?"
Edward's eyes, numb from pain, kept shedding tears. His tall body stood rigid, feeling as if his heart had been ripped out and thrown into a dark, bottomless pit, freezing cold.
"How could I be so stupid? The murderer who killed my mother was right in front of me, living with me for twenty years, and I knew nothing about it."
"Evelyn, tell me, what should I do besides killing her? How can I get justice for my mother?"
"Soon, soon."
Evelyn's soft hand gently stroked his trembling back, her voice as gentle as water, soothing his heart torn by hatred, "I hate Tiffany and Debra as much as you do. I want them to pay with their lives, to suffer endlessly."
"I'll help you, Edward. I'll do everything I can to stand by you."
"On this path, I'm willing to face all the unknown dangers with you. We must stay well and watch those who have done evil get the punishment they deserve."
Edward closed his tear-filled eyes, tightly holding her hand.
"I do."
It wasn't a vow before God, but it was more touching than any oath, sweeter than any words of love.
They finally stood together, not for love, but for revenge.
But even so, Edward was already immensely satisfied.
"Mother, please, bless me this once."
