Florence sits there, seeing Tabitha turn around and smile at her with malice, and looks at the back of Brian, which appears a little lonely.
She knows clearly that his questioning Su’s family is over. For Antonia, he could forgive anyone and hate everyone as well.
A trace of envy arises in her heart.
Looking at the man whom she has been in love with for so long feels deeply frustrated by the woman he loves, Florence comes to realize that what she has sacrificed for him in those years is nothing but a sheer ridicule.
She does not know when she begins to care about his behavior and becomes so cautious.
At this moment, she feels that she is so superfluous and out of place.
Florence Li stands up behind Brian with darkened eyes and slightly lifted lips, saying lightly, “I want to go back. I am afraid that Nelson is asking impatiently for a meal now.”
Hearing this, Brian turns around and bumps into her disappointed eyes suddenly. He frowns, as if her mind were seen through. Then he says coldly, “wait for me outside, I have something else to ask.”
Florence Li nods and turns to walk out.
She thought she would be the one who was taken good care of today, but at the moment , she seems to be the ignored Cinderella.
Li sits in the car, staring at the fountain beside, and the water keeps gushingg out constantly just like her sadness.
Suddenly, the door is opened.
Li thinks it is Brian, so she doesn’t turn around, just leans to one side and waits for the car to start.
The car doesn’t start and the person beside doesn’t make any noise. Then Li looks back.
It is Tabitha.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that it is Tabitha, Li takes back her sadness on her face and asks.
“Florence Li, are you disappointed? Are you sad because he didn’t get justice for you?” Her mouth slightly curls up and she looks at her like a winner.
Li sighs helplessly, reaches out a hand and puts the broken hair on her face behind her ears, and then she says calmly, “I never care, so I don’t know what I should feel lost and sad about at all.”
“Oh.” Tabitha seems to know her clearly and continues saying with a sneer, “You has been in love with my brother Brian since you were a child, don’t pretend to care nothing.”
“…”
Li is speechless and turns her head aside.
“My sister left because of your jealousy. You did that because my sister robbed Brian who you had been in love with for so long.”
Tabitha reaches out and grasps Li’s wrist as she says that with emotion. Her eyes are glaring at her.
Tabitha seems to be very thin, but she is full of strength actually.
“Hiss -”
Florence Li’s wrist feels painful because of Tabitha’s grasp. Her eyebrows are locked, and she says in anger, “what on earth do you want to say?”
“You should be clear that you know how to explain to Brian about that night!” Tabitha increases her strength, which makes her face look ferocious. She says in a cruel voice, “I want you to die for my sister, and I hope you can pay back, why not?”“……”
Hearing this, Florence Li gives up struggling suddenly. She says nothing, and remains silent despite the pain from her wrist.
She has to take responsibility for Antonia’s death. As a family member who loves her, Li could understand why Tabitha wanted to attack her.
If someone hurts Nelson, she might think about blood for blood.
It is natural that deep love easily gives birth to radical ideas.
“I regret that I didn’t kill you the night and avenge my sister!” Tabitha ‘s voice becomes more vicious, and she almost gnashes her teeth in anger when she utters.
“I know it’s useless to say anything about Antonia’s death. I’m so sorry.”
Li looks so cowardly with her head down and her heart is full of guilt.
No matter how much she resents all this, and Antonia’s death is a fact that cannot be changed, and Li would suffer guilt throughout her whole life. It is like a shackle of morality. The law didn’t punish her, but morality chains her heart tightly, and she would live in confession and guilt forever.
She cannot blame anyone, and must bear everything alone.
“Miss, Miss Li…” The servant outside the car is anxiously calling Tabitha’s name. It is obvious that someone is looking for her in the villa.
Tabitha glances over and says coldly, “If you still feel a little guilty about my sister, you should know how to explain to Brian!” She shakes off Li’s hands hard and stares at her.
After leaving the warning, Tabitha gets off and shuts the door hard.
Florence Li sits in the car silently, stunned by the loud of the door. She slowly reaches out to hug herself, looking at the house outside the window. The guilt surges up in her heart.
“Antonia, what on hell should I do to settle everything and what on earth should I do?”
Florence Li’s brain goes blank, and the tears dropping from the corners of her eyes are quickly wiped away by her.
She hates her cowardice when facing Tabitha , but she feels unable to do anything.
You should take responsibility for anything wrong that you have done, shouldn’t you?
As time goes by, Brian finally walks out of the house and gets back into the car, and he looks cold.
On the way, they don’t talk much.
Florence Li turns aside, and her heart is full of guilt. Her eyes have reddened and it is obvious that she has just cried a lot.
Brian puts his hand against his chin and his eyebrows tighten. It is hard to recognize his expression because he is kind of grave.
The car rushes across the broad road, and the people in the car are all preoccupied. Everything is so silent that only the wind could be heard.
Suddenly, the silence inside the car is broken by a harsh cell phone ring.
Rodney quickly takes out his mobile phone, covers his ear and whispers, “Hello? ”
“Well, I see.” Rodney looks serious, hangs up the phone and looks at the rear-view mirror.
At the same time, Brian is looking at the rear-view mirror, too. Rodney nods, and it seems that Brian has understood something, and then his face becomes gloomier.
Florence Li looks confused, but she doesn’t ask more questions. She just feels that Brian is very bad-tempered, which scares people unconsciously.
On the way, Brian answers the phone and it is said that there is something for him to deal with in the company. At last, he doesn’t go back to the villa but directly drives to the company.
Florence Li asks nothing and just sits there quietly, looking out of the window and thinking about something.
It was just a sunny day but suddenly becomes cloudy. It seems that a heavy rain is coming soon.
