Chapter 1065

So, in my dad’s case, he shouldn’t have been found out by Kimberly.

So, where did the problem arise? I carefully went over my plan from beginning to end. The more I thought, the heavier my heart sank. I suddenly remembered the time when my dad came to me asking for money after the recorder I had placed in Kimberly’s room was found.

If that time, it was Kimberly who arranged for him to come over. It was Kimberly who deliberately let him tell me that the recorder had been found, and it was Kimberly who deliberately let my dad come to me and complain, saying that she and Quentin both ignored him. Then I mistakenly thought that he was about to fall out with Kimberly, and mistakenly believed that as long as I pushed him a little harder, he would completely break with Kimberly and come to me to expose Kimberly.

If that’s the case, then I probably fell into the trap set by Kimberly since the first time my dad came to ask me for money. Neither Kimberly nor Quentin cared about my dad anymore. My dad was going to “fall out” with Kimberly. All of these were illusions deliberately revealed to me by my father.

Thinking of this, I once again experienced the terror of Kimberly. Her terror was never about being outwardly gentle but inwardly malicious, but it was her deep cunning since childhood. I underestimated her after all. A person who has been so calculating since childhood, as they grow up, that calculation will only become deeper and more terrifying. My dad was still talking, and even pretended to look sad.

“You hired someone to force me into a corner, just to make me cooperate with you to finish this recording, right? Actually, you are my own daughter, so naturally I wouldn’t blame you for designing me like this, and I even went along with you to record this audio, ignoring my conscience. But seeing Kimberly being wrongly accused by you like this, I still feel guilty in my heart after all. I am a middle–aged person, and I don’t want to be condemned by my conscience when I die.”

Listening to my father’s words, I uncontrollably burst into laughter, laughing sarcastically to the extreme. I looked at him and said softly, “Are you the kind of person who still has a conscience?”

“Tsk, Ralda, how did you become like this?” My dad frowned and looked at me with disappointment. “I know you don’t like Kimberly, but she is Quentin’s fiancee after all, your future sister–in–law. You designed me, forced me to cooperate with you to record this voice message, and now you even dare to slander her for cheating on Quentin behind his back. What are you doing? Do you have to break up with her and Quentin before you are willing to accept it?”

I smiled and looked at Quentin. I said to Quentin, “Did you hear what Dad just said? So, you really have nothing to say?” Quentin was still sitting next to Kimberly. The hand beside him tightly grasped the bedding and said to me, “I don’t know anything, what do you want me to say?”

“Ha, what a know–nothing.” I sneered coldly, the bitterness and anger in my heart beyond words.

At this moment, Kimberly started crying again with a sense of grievance, “Ralda, it’s been four years already, why do you still hold such a grudge against me? You slander me about other things, that’s one thing, but how can you slander me for betraying Quentin?”
