In the hospital, Raelyn wailed as she went on a hunger strike to death. The nurse was so disturbed by her that she had to call Arthur. When Arthur finally replied that he would visit her with Gavin, Raelyn stopped making a ruckus.
She couldn’t do anything and didn’t know what was going with the outside world, so when she heard the nurse say that Gavin would come to see her soon, she immediately thought that he was affected by the fact that she put her life on her line, and she started getting hopeful.
She thought about how to turn the tables. First, she would push all the blame to Devon and say that it was him who incited her to do evil deeds.
Since Devon deceived her, everything would be his plan instead, and she was merely negatively influenced by him. Now that she knew her wrongdoings, she would repent and apologize in order to guilt-trip Gavin into forgiving her.
There was hope as long as Gavin was moved. In the future, she would have no choice but to play nice while waiting for her chance to scheme again.
After she waited in the ward anxiously for two hours, Gavin finally arrived.
When she saw him coming in, she immediately began her performance, “Dad! You finally came to see me! Boohoo!”
He looked at her and his heart was filled with boundless disgust, “Why are you crying? What do you want to say!”
“Dad, I’m sorry! I also apologize to my brother, Raymond, and Valeria! I regret everything!” Raelyn cried, “Ever since I met the Anderson brothers, my life changed drastically. I was frivolous and ignorant when I was young, so I fell into Devon’s trap. In the past 20 years, I was influenced by him and did a lot of bad things towards you and my brother. I really deserve to die!”
“What have you done?” Gavin asked faintly.
“I didn’t do anything. I was deceived by Devon, and I just watched him as he shamelessly plot against my brother, Raymond, and Valeria. Dad, I always treated him as a good person until that day Raymond told me that Devon and Natasya plotted against Talitha and that the Anderson brothers had plotted a horrible plan on me, I asked him about it while thinking that it was just a lie, but it was the truth! Devon admitted to everything!”
Raelyn cried seriously. Half of the reason was that she felt so miserable, and the other half was to guilt-trip Gavin.
While looking at her nasty crying face, Gavin almost threw up from disgust.
“Are you sure that you knew nothing of Devon’s plans beforehand?”
“I didn’t! I have always treated him as a good person, and I stood up for him without knowing that I was being deceived. If I knew that he was such a disgusting person, I would have never spoken up for him. Dad, please forgive me. I am wrong! I am sorry towards you, my brother, my sister-in-law, Raymond, and Valeria! I will repent sincerely and kneel down to plead for my brother’s forgiveness. From now on, I will turn over a new leaf and become a good person again. I swear on it. If I break my oath, I will suffer a terrible death!”
In order to make Gavin believe that she had really changed, she gave her all and came up with such an atrocious vow.
She thought that her oath would make Gavin compromise and give her a chance, but he just looked at her with a cold smile in silence.
She was a little flustered. How could this be? How could he be indifferent to her cries? In the past, he would soften his heart and compromise with her the moment she pretended to cry. What was going on right now? Why wasn’t he reacting the way she expected him to?
Was her oath not extreme enough, or was her performance not sincere enough? She really could not understand why he was so indifferent, so she had no choice but to continue her act.
“Dad, Devon is too shameless. After I exposed him, he resorted to physically abusing me, and if the police hadn’t come in time, I would have been strangled to death. He said that he never liked me and he just took advantage of me. I am so regretful! How can I be blinded by such a beast!”
Gavin wanted to see if Raelyn would come up with new tricks to fool him, but she was just repeating the same gimmicks over and over again, so he ran out of patience, “Are you done speaking?”
Seeing him with an impatient attitude, Raelyn panicked underneath her facade. How could Gavin be so unwavering? There was nothing else she could exaggerate anymore.
Then, she remembered the injuries on her body that were caused by Arthur’s men, and she was sure that Arthur would not have told Gavin the seriousness of her injuries, so she decided to tell him.
She immediately said, “Dad, look at the wounds on my body! Look at my hands and my legs! I have dozens of stab wounds on my body, and it hurts like hell! If it weren’t because I didn’t want you to go through another painful funeral, I would have ended my life already!”
“Dozens of stab wounds? That bad?” Gavin didn’t know that Raelyn had such serious injuries. Indeed, William was ruthless. In the past, he would have been heartbroken, however, now he felt a sense of satisfaction, and he asked sarcastically, “Do you know who did it?”
Naturally, Raelyn would not say that it was Arthur’s men who injured her, so she cried and said, “I don’t know who did it, but I think it must be Devon’s men. He wanted me to die so badly, so it would make sense for him to do this to me!”
“Didn’t you say that he was taken away by the police? If so, how could he have time to order his men to deal with you?” Gavin asked.
“He was arrested, but he has many connections with the outside world, and I can’t think of anyone else who would do this to me except him!”
“Haha! You’re wrong this time. I was the one who arranged for these people to injure you!” Gavin continued, “Such a vicious person like you have deceived me several times and done all kinds of evil things in the Saunders family. I’m just going easy on you with these few injuries!”
Raelyn did not expect Arthur to admit that he had arranged for someone to hurt her in front of his father. For a moment, she was stunned and speechless.
“Why are you quiet? You should continue complaining to Mr. Saunders!” Arthur laughed sarcastically, “Let’s see if he’ll help you like before.”
“This… Dad… Arthur… he…”
“What have I done? Are you trying to say that I am vicious? Compared to you, even I can be considered kind. I should have treated you like how Hardy treated your daughter, Natasya, by gauging your eyes and harvesting your organs for the people in need! However, your organs are probably infected by your viciousness, so I didn’t want other people to be infected with it either.”
His words almost made her jump in shock if she had the ability to move, “What did you say? Natasya, she… Hardy…”
“Yes, didn’t you watch the news? Oh, I forgot that your hand is disabled. In this case, let me inform you of the news that happened last night.”
