In Taya’s opinion, Amon should have been Casare’s rival in love, but Casare still let his daughter stay with his rival for eight months.
Unable to understand, Taya lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mr. Yardley, you know that pups will get attached to adults when they spend time together, so why did you set the time limit eight months? Don’t you think it’s too long?”
Casare seemed to have expected Taya to ask this question, so he didn’t hesitate to give his answer, “I did have some personal reasons for setting such a long deadline. I wanted Grace to spend more time with him, to let him know that Rosalie still had a pup in the world.”
“I hope he’ll let go of everything to do with Rosalie and himself as a result, so he won’t bother me and Grace anymore.”
Taya frowned and asked, “Aren’t you afraid he won’t give Grace back to you because he’s been with her for a long
time?”
Casare shook his head, “No, he would certainly return Grace to me for Rosalie’s last words.”
Hearing this, Taya had a moment of confusion. If Amon knew his sister had left him a last message, why had he chosen to commit suicide last time?
With Amon’s obsession with her sister to the point of madness, he would have been determined to live for her sister’s last words no matter what, and would never give up even if he had been hunted by Griffon. But the last time he came to them of his own accord…
Taya thought of the unspoken answer he gave before he killed himself, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Did he choose to kill himself because he could tell Rosalie from
her, or did he choose to kill himself because he could not?
Taya couldn’t find an answer, so she just looked up at Casare, “Mr. Yardley, can you tell me what my sister’s last words. were?”
Casare curled his lip when he heard the words, “Ms. Palmer, I’m sorry. Rosalie told me that the video could only be shown. to Amon.”
Not only words, but a video?
Since it was a video, it must have contained an image of her Taya was eager to meet Rosalie and watch her stand under the Eiffel Tower in Paris in her red dress, gazing at the sunset.
But Casare obviously wouldn’t show her the video. She looked at Casare with regret and hope.
The handsome man on the other side gave her an apologetic smile, “I must keep to what your sister has told me.”
Taya had no choice but to give up, “Then I’ll wait for Amon to finish watching it, then go to him for the video my sister left behind.”
At these words, Casare paused abruptly as he reached for his coffee.
He raised his clear and bright eyes, staring at Taya, “It seems you have a lot of trust in Amon?”
Taya had not noticed that she was expressing, directly and indirectly, her trust in Amon. Now when she heard Casare’s question, she froze for a few seconds as well.
Yeah, what made her think Amon would definitely show her the video that Casare refused to show her?
Taya’s expression gradually sank, having trust in a madman.
Seeing the change in her face, Casare resumed the movement of his hand holding the handle of the cup and slowly picked up the coffee cup.
After he took an elegant sip of coffee, he told Taya about Rosalie, “In case you don’t know, the year Rosalie and I got married, she happened to have disease?”
Taya shook her head and tried to ask about Rosalie’s condition at the time, but Casare continued to speak himself, “When she was diseased, she was already pregnant with Grace. I advised her to abort the baby. But she refused to do so in any case and said she had to bear this pup for me.”
Casare paused for a moment, his thoughts seeming to return to the past, and his eyes and brows were tinged with a hint of
fondness.
“I’ve been secretly in love with her since a long time ago, but unfortunately she didn’t even look at me back then, she only had eyes for Amon alone.”
“But no one would have thought that she would choose to be with me later. She would even try desperately to have our baby for me.”
As he said this, the smile in Casare’s eyes faded and was replaced by a hidden resentment, “If Amon hadn’t insisted
on taking her away from me when he got out of prison, we wouldn’t have experienced separation and death…”
He squeezed the cup tightly in his hand, slowly raised his eyes. to look across at Taya, “Amon killed your sister and tried to take away my pup, why do you still believe him?”
Taya did not expect him to talk so much about the past, not to express his longing about her sister, but to accuse her.
She looked closely at Casare and felt that he seemed calm. and collected on the surface, but in reality, he was even more
difficult to fathom than Amon.
She was unable to read Casare’s mind and did not want to answer his question. Instead, she asked him, in the light of
what his words revealed.
“Since Amon was the only one in my sister’s eyes, why did she later choose you and why did Amon go to prison?”
Casare did not expect Taya’s words to side with Amon in this way and his eyes instantly became wary, “I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”
Taya frowned again, “Why?” Casare put down his coffee, folded his arms and faced the question squarely and seriously, “You’re biased in favor of
Amon, so, I’m sorry.”
When he finished speaking, he got up and headed for the door. Taya quickly stopped him, “Mr. Yardley, please wait a moment.”
Casare paused and when he turned his head to look at Taya, his wary eyes had returned to their usual glow, “Is there anything else, Ms. Palmer?”
Taya walked up to Casare, looked up at him who was a head taller than herself, and explained, “I’m not biased in favor of Amon, I just know a little bit about my sister, so I don’t know who to trust.”
Amon said that Rosalie had pursued him for many years, and Casare also said that Rosalie had only Amon in her eyes, but Rosalie later chose Casare, which made Taya a little confused.
She always felt that a woman who had devoted many years of her life to just pursuing the man she loved would not change her mind so easily. Unless Amon had hurt Rosalie, otherwise how could she have given up her lover so easily…
Taya did not know the reasons and secrets, so she would not easily choose to believe or disbelieve anyone just because of
someone’s one-sided words.
After hearing her explanation, Casare’s eyes gradually
softened, “Ms. Palmer, your sister chose me because Amon betrayed her first…”
Now Taya was completely stunned. Hadn’t Rosalie betrayed Amon first? How had it turned out that Amon had betrayed Rosalie first? Whose word should she believe, Casare’s or
Amon’s?
Seeing that she was very confused, so gentlemanly, Casare explained, “When she was pursuing Amon, she often saw him being intimate with other women. But she loved him very much at that time and chose to put up with it. However, after they got together, Amon continued to treat her as he always did, leaving her at home alone while he went out partying. with other women.”
The corners of Casare’s lips curled slightly as he finished, and he smiled helplessly, “Rosalie and Amon have been together for six years, and he hurts her like that so often that every
woman would get tired. Don’t you think, Ms. Palmer?”
Taya could not refute Casare’s words.
But Amon seemed to love her sister very much. Could he really
be the kind of man Casare said he was?
Taya was just about to ask whose pup Grace was, but she saw Casare hold up his watch and look at the time.
“Ms. Palmer.”
Casare took his eyes off his watch, looked at Taya, took a business card out of his suit pocket and handed it to her.
“I have urgent business to attend to today. If you know the whereabouts of Grace, please call me and let me know, thanks.”
Taya took the card with both hands and nodded to Casare before he turned to leave.
As soon as Casare left, Neil, sitting in the dining room eating an apple, beckoned to Taya, “Taya, come here.”
Taya collected her contemplative gaze and turned to Neil, who was throwing apple cores into the bin. “Why?” She asked.
Neil crossed his legs and took an “I know everything” pose, “Come here, I’ll tell you the truth.”
It occurred to Taya that Neil was a student of Amon’s and an employee of Rosalie’s, so she thought he must know something, and then she walked over to him.
“Go ahead.”
“Bend down.”
Taya rolled her eyes at him, but still bent down obediently. Neil put his hand over his mouth and leaned in to whisper in her ear, “Casare’s lying.”
Taya raised her eyebrows and looked at the enigmatic Neil, “How do you know he’s lying?”
Neil said, “Because when he talks, his gaze is not firm enough, and he always drinks coffee to cover up his guilt.”
“..” Taya.
She thought Neil knew something, but in the end…
Does he think he’s a great detective who has studied psychology?!
Taya, speechless and not even bothering to speak to him, picked up the fruit plate from the table, turned and wanted to
leave.
The phone in her pocket vibrated at that moment. She took out her phone and looked at it. It was a video call from
George.
She quickly put down the fruit plate and pressed the answer button, but it was not George who appeared on the screen,
but Grace sitting cross-legged on the floor.
