Chapter 816
He earnestly said to me, “I know you have never liked Kimberly, but why do you have to bring up that incident from four years ago and blame it on her?”
Ralda, listen to me, “those things that happened in the past are over, so let them go, and don’t bring them up again.”
Mr. Humphrey cared about you. He knew that you were just desperate to save your mother. As long as you are willing to admit your mistake, he will definitely forgive you.
Sure enough!
I overestimated this family affection.
Four years ago, Quentin slandered me in person; how could he now speak the truth to prove my innocence?
Quentin looked at Reynaldo again, his voice tinged with pleading, “I also had a great deal of responsibility for what happened back then.”
Four years have passed now, Ralda has suffered a lot outside. According to Vonnie, when she gave birth to Essie and Roddy, she almost lost her life.
When Quentin said this, I saw Reynaldo’s hand hanging by his side curl slightly.
Did he… still care about me in the end?
But between him and me, there was always that inexplicable “hatred for killing one’s mother.”
So hateful!
I really hated it.
It’s ridiculous that those in the know were still hypocritically interceding for me.
Quentin continued to Reynaldo, “For the sake of the two children, forgive Ralda.”
If you really can’t let go of your hatred, want revenge, want punishment, then come at me.
“Even if it means an eye for an eye, taking my life to save your mother’s life…”
“That’s enough!”
I interrupted Quentin lightly and smiled at him mockingly, “Don’t you think that what you’re saying is hypocritical?”
Quentin didn’t say anything more; he didn’t even dare to look at me now.
I shook my head and smiled lightly.
Family affection—this is my family affection; it is really unbearable.
Reynaldo looked at me quietly, with dark eyes swirling with emotions that were hard to read.
I didn’t want to say anything more, so I turned around and left.
Anton followed behind me silently.
I almost forgot; he was also an insider, but he chose to remain silent.
Just think, Kimberly was really lucky; she did something bad, and so many people were desperately protecting her.
When I came, I came in Anton’s car.
When we went back, he sat in the same car with me.
On the way, neither of us spoke a word.
Just back at the villa, he called me to a stop.
First, I got sick, then there was the Vonnie situation, and just now Reynaldo has got me all worked up.
I am so exhausted now.
I stood at the top of the stairs and asked him casually, “What’s the matter?”
Anton poured a glass of warm water and handed it to me, but I didn’t take it.
A touch of bitterness flashed across his lips, and after a two-second pause, he said to me, “The casting for the play Vonnie arranged in Freybourne has changed.”
I furrowed my brows, turned around and looked at him, “What do you mean? Vonnie’s role was taken by someone else?”
Vonnie took on this play in a bit of a hurry.
Her agent was originally competing for a role in a big production on the Glauvale side for her. Even if it was just a small supporting role, there were many well-known artists competing for it.
As expected, Vonnie’s agent did not land the role.
Later, it was Anton who stepped in. Anton had good connections on Freybourne’s side, and he quickly arranged another film for Vonnie, this time as the female lead.
