Chapter 677
My father said, “He dragged me out with that Kimora.”
After they had all left, Braylon also quietly left and closed the door to the study.
At one point, there was only Reynaldo and me left in the study.
The atmosphere was even more oppressive than at the beginning.
Reynaldo stood up and walked toward me step by step.
He stood in front of me, his eyes filled with a hatred that made me despair.
“Reynaldo…”
I called out his name, my voice choked with sobs and pain.
Reynaldo turned his face away, and his profile showed a pale and sad smile.
For a long time, he looked at me and asked without any tone, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“I said they were all framing me, I said this was a trap, I said the person behind all this manipulation is Kimberly.”
“But will you believe me?”
Reynaldo lowered his gaze, disappointed and smiling sarcastically, “So, you’re saying Quentin, your beloved brother, is also accusing you?”
I bit my lower lip sadly.
I thought Quentin would be my lifesaver, but he ended up being the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
I couldn’t believe that Quentin would help those people frame me, and yet I wanted Reynaldo to believe it!
I took a deep breath and looked at him with red eyes, “You don’t believe a word I say, so how do you plan to punish me? Kill me to atone for your mother?”
“Esmeralda!”
The man’s long-suppressed emotions seemed to finally erupt at this moment.
He grabbed my shoulder, his eyes red with anger, and growled at me, “Do you know how much I like you? Even though I knew you were full of problems, constantly lying, selfish and malicious, I still accepted it. I just like you, no matter what kind of person you are, I like you. I wished I could give you everything, even 'take out my heart and give it to you.' But why did you have to take away my mother’s kidney source? When you did this, did you ever think of me? She is my mother!”
With that, Reynaldo pushed me away with disgust.
I staggered back several steps in a hurry, finally grabbing onto the nearby cabinet to barely steady myself.
However, the next second, the man’s cold and ruthless words came.
“Get out of Freybourne and never let me see you again in my life!”
This sentence felt like a thousand arrows piercing my heart, causing me to tremble all over in pain.
I mechanically lifted my head to look at him, but only saw his sinister and cold back.
I slid slowly down the cabinet and sat on the floor, asking him, “Are we done in this lifetime?”
Reynaldo did not answer my question.
But his silence had already indicated his attitude.
Yes, in the past, the misunderstandings between him and me could all be clarified and resolved.
And now, between him and me there is a life, his mother’s life.
No matter what, this life cannot be erased.
When I stumbled out of the villa, Quentin was anxiously waiting for me in the yard.
Seeing me coming out, he hurried up to support me, “Ralda, are you okay? Did Reynaldo do anything to you?”
“It’s over, everything is over, it’s all finished.”
But his silence had already indicated his attitude.
Yes, in the past, the misunderstandings between him and me could all be clarified and resolved.
And now, between him and me there is a life, his mother’s life.
No matter what, this life cannot be erased.
“Ralda, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me, Ralda…” Quentin’s anxious call rang in my ears.
I slowly turned my head and looked at him mechanically, “Quentin?”
“Yes, it’s me. I’ll take you back now. Reynaldo is in a rage at the moment, so his words may be harsh. Wait until the hatred subsides, and then you can…”
