Chapter 1209 Completely Finished
Lassie had always felt guilty and didn't want to confront her.
But today, she couldn't take it anymore.
If she hadn't backed down so many times before, Harper wouldn't have become so brazen, even targeting her daughter.
"Do you really think Carter's grandfather chose me because I'm from the Bennett family? Because I'm virtuous, well-educated, and refined?"
Harper held her head high with arrogance. "Isn't that the case?"
Lassie laughed, mocking her ignorance and shamelessness. "Do you think the Moore family, with all their status and wealth, needs a business marriage? He chose me for none of those reasons! It was because when I was eighteen, he had a heart attack, and I saved him! From that moment, he decided I would be Carter's wife."
Harper was stunned for a moment, then retorted excitedly. "Impossible! How could that be! You're lying!"
Lassie sneered, "Harper, you're inherently malicious. A person's character and kindness aren't determined by their environment or wealth, but by their upbringing and nature! Some people are just born evil!
Violet was thrown into a family like Quentin's, yet she remained pure-hearted and attracted Charles.
Carter, Martin, and Ryan, those three men, all survived adversity!
Did any of them turn out like you?
Ask yourself honestly, if you had encountered Carter's grandfather having a heart attack on the street, would you have helped him?"
Harper blurted out without hesitation, "I would, why wouldn't I?"
Lassie's eyes were filled with even more disdain, utterly certain, "You wouldn't! In such a situation, you'd run faster than anyone! Do you remember when you were eight, swimming by the river with your friends?
One of your friends accidentally drowned! What did you do?
There were many people working nearby; you just needed to shout, and someone would have come to save her! But what did you do?
You climbed ashore alone, ignored her cries for help, and ran away!
At eight years old, you were already aware of life and death! You were simply selfish, afraid her parents would blame you because you suggested swimming!
So, you watched your friend sink into the water!
If you were like that at eight, how could you be any better at eighteen? If you had encountered Carter's grandfather, you'd have run faster than a rabbit, afraid of getting into trouble."
Harper's face turned pale.
She looked at Lassie in disbelief, her mouth opening and closing for a while, unable to utter a word.
Lassie saw through her thoughts and spoke for her. "Are you wondering how I know about what happened when you were eight?"
Harper didn't respond, but her silence confirmed Lassie's words.
"Everyone in your village knew about it. When our parents and I went to bring you back, a villager told us!
But they were so eager to make up for the years they missed with you that they ignored what the villagers said.
I, however, remembered every word!
You were notorious in that village! A rebellious problem child since you were five.
You started dating in middle school!
In high school, you bullied a girl out of jealousy over a boy, causing her to drop out with depression and nearly commit suicide! The school had no choice but to expel you!
If the Bennett family hadn't taken you back, you'd be rotten to the core!
The Bennett family found you, polished you up, and turned you into a high-society lady. Your past was deliberately erased by the Bennett family!
So, no one knows your dark history!
But just because they don't know doesn't mean I don't! From the day you entered the Bennett family, I knew you were trouble.
I felt guilty for stealing your life, and I don't like gossiping, so I never exposed your past."
She spoke a lot in one breath.
Harper's face was extremely pale, her carefully hidden secrets laid bare, her eyes filled with shame.
Lassie said coldly, "So, don't talk nonsense about Carter originally being meant to marry you! The Bennett family may be wealthy, but they're nothing compared to the Moore family! Even if the Moore family wanted a marriage alliance, they wouldn't choose the Bennett family.
From the beginning, Carter's grandfather chose me for who I am, not because of my status as a Bennett family socialite!
If we hadn't swapped lives, you wouldn't have saved Carter's grandfather, and I wouldn't have been like you, fighting, causing trouble, bullying classmates, and dropping out!
At our core, we're fundamentally different!
You inherited your parents' dirty blood, while I inherited my biological parents' kindness!
A malicious woman like you, even if you stood naked in front of my beloved, he wouldn't spare you a glance."
Harper felt all her strength drain away.
These were the harshest words Lassie had ever said to her.
Lassie had never spoken to her like this before.
Lassie disdainfully shook off her hand and patted her shoulder where Harper had touched her, "Since you've repeatedly harmed my daughter and us, you deserve to be punished!"
She looked at Carter and Martin. "Deal with her as you see fit, no need to show any mercy! Someone like her is a menace to the world."
Harper felt utter despair, as if she had been cast into an abyss.
"Lassie. Lassie." She screamed Lassie's name, her voice tearing.
"You can't do this, I'm your sister! If our parents find out, they won't let you off! They'll never acknowledge you as their daughter again."
Lassie raised an eyebrow coldly, looking down at her. "They stopped being my parents the moment they repeatedly mistreated me for your sake! I only remembered their kindness in raising me, so I never broke ties with you despite your excessive actions!
But now that you've touched my daughter, I'll never forgive you!
Let them blame me if they want!
Even if they publicly disown me, I don't care. I just want justice for my daughter!"
She paused, then suddenly added, "You probably don't know! I've already brought my biological parents to Sunset Bay! I bought them a house in the best neighborhood and hired two caretakers for them.
You know about the Evergrande Group, right? My brother founded it! Carter invested and supported it all the way!
My biological parents are living happily now!
They're honest, kind farmers who never imagined they'd raise a daughter like you! You're their biggest disgrace."
The naked truth made Harper's legs give way, and she collapsed to the ground.
She was completely finished.
She thought she was smart.
But Lassie had been planning behind the scenes all along.
The Bennett family could no longer suppress Lassie.
Carter definitely wouldn't let her off.
