Chapter 1176 The Great Conspiracy
Seeing Karen's shamelessness and betrayal, Hannah turned angrily to Austin. "You promised me you wouldn't go back on your word! You said you'd convince her to let Oliver go, no matter what! You know Oliver has his final exams in less than a month. He can't afford any trouble right now!"
Austin felt a sharp pain in his heart as he saw the grievance, hatred, and anger in her eyes. He then turned to Karen. "Let Oliver go! She's here with us now, and she can't escape. Oliver has no more value to us."
Karen picked up her utensils again and began eating slowly. "You're just as foolish as your father was! How can you believe a woman like her? If you want the woman you love to stay by your side willingly, the best way is to hold her weakness!
Violet's weakness is her family, Charles, and Oliver.
We can't touch anyone else but Oliver! If we let Oliver go, they'll protect him immediately.
Then, we'll lose our best leverage!
If Violet runs away, tell me, what will you use to get her back?"
Hearing her words, Austin hesitated.
Karen put a piece of food in her mouth and chewed slowly. "Hesitation and fear will get you nowhere! The reason you've failed so miserably today is that you're not ruthless enough!
I told you to kill Carter, but you didn't. You were afraid I'd hurt him, so you imprisoned me instead.
I told you to kill Violet eight years ago, but you didn't!
I told you to kill Charles, and you failed.
Tell me, have you succeeded in anything over the years? If you had been ruthless from the start, you wouldn't be in this situation today.
Without me, you'd never have gotten out of that prison.
Dear, I'm your real mother. I'm the only one in this world who won't hurt you! Everything I do is for your own good. I won't harm you.
Since you're so fixated on Violet, I'll help you!
As for killing Martin, Carter, and Ryan, we have plenty of time! As long as we're alive, we'll have our chance for revenge!"
She seemed certain that Hannah couldn't escape, so she spoke without reservation.
Hannah was shocked by her words. "What do you mean? You want to kill my father, Martin, and Ryan? Why? What did they do to deserve this?"
And she had been trying to get Austin to kill her father for a long time.
But Austin, still having a conscience, not only didn't harm her father, but he also imprisoned Karen to prevent her from doing so.
What was going on?
What kind of grudge did the Moore family, the Langley family, the Parker family, and Karen have? Why did she hate them so much?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed her mind.
She stared at Karen in disbelief. "So, from the beginning, you did it on purpose? You left Austin at the Moore Mansion's doorstep twenty years ago, hoping the Moore family would raise him, then reclaim him for revenge?"
The thought sent chills down her spine.
How could someone be so patient?
To plan revenge for over twenty years.
If Austin really launched a crazy revenge against the three families, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No one would suspect Austin.
They might not even know it was Austin who killed them.
It was terrifying.
This woman was truly terrifying.
"What did they do?" Karen's eyes narrowed, and she slammed her utensils on the table, smirking coldly. "They killed my husband, made my son an orphan, and turned me into a widow. Do you think they deserve to die?"
Karen's eyes became unfocused, and she muttered to herself, "Everything was going so smoothly! Carter and Lassie adopted my son, and he became the Moore family's heir!
But he fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have, just like his dead father.
If he hadn't fallen in love with you, my plan wouldn't have failed.
I planned everything so perfectly, so flawlessly, but it was all ruined because of you.
He's just like his father, useless, always obsessed with love, not someone who can achieve great things."
Hannah demanded, "Who is your husband? There must be some misunderstanding! I know my father, Martin, and Ryan very well. They're not bad people; they wouldn't kill innocents!
Besides, we live in a society governed by law. They wouldn't do anything illegal!"
Karen laughed coldly, her shoulders shaking. "A society governed by law? The Langley family, the Moore family, and the Parker family, together, aren't they the law? In Sunset Bay, don't they have all the power?
They're so capable!
In Country Y, they have the Koch family backing them, and in Country D, they have the Reed family. No matter where they go, they can catch anyone.
If they want to kill someone, who dares to stop them? Who dares to question them?"
Karen seemed to recall something painful, clutching her chest, her eyes red, her voice hoarse. "My husband didn't have to die. They hunted him down, they wouldn't let him go."
As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Her expression turned vicious, and she gritted her teeth. "Why should you be happy and have a harmonious family while I live in pain every day? Why should you be happy while I'm separated from my son? Why? Why? They destroyed me, my husband, and my life."
Karen suddenly looked up, glaring at Hannah. "Tell me, shouldn't I take revenge? Shouldn't I destroy their happiness?"
She pointed a trembling finger at Hannah's nose. "You, the Moore family, the Langley family, and the Parker family, none of you will have peace! I can't kill you all, but I'll destroy you.
Charles loves you, right? My son took you away, and I'll make Charles suffer for the rest of his life.
If Charles suffers, Martin and Patricia will suffer too.
And Randy, Declan.
What will happen to the Langley family if they lose their heir? Will they fall into ruin?
And Ryan. His proud son, none of you will escape! None of you!"
Hannah felt a chill down her spine.
She felt as if a giant web of conspiracy was closing in on them, ready to destroy the three families one by one.
Who was this woman? What power did she have? Why was she so confident and determined? Did she have accomplices?
Hannah's mind raced, but she couldn't think of anyone suspicious.
