Chapter 10
I shook my head and replied calmly, “Don’t forget, Steven. You’re the person who killed him.”
He froze, and a dead silence hung over us.
I soon had the butler escort him out, but not before telling him, “I will never forgive the murderer who killed my son.”
On the day of Grandpa’s death anniversary, I returned to Jorlina, where I ran into Jim and Tina, as well as Steven’s younger sister who had been living abroad all this while.
They told me that Steven had been exiled from the Hough family, and that they had named his sister as the new successor.
As expected, when it came to business, any form of familial ties were negligible.
Most surprising of all, Steven was taken to court on homicide charges soon after that.
As it turned out, Wendy had used her unborn child to blackmail Steven into marrying her. But when she realized that Steven was no longer the wealthy Hough scion, she immediately found him to be of no use to her.
Her unborn child had turned out to be Steven’s after all, so she insisted on having it aborted.
However, on the way to the hospital, she was dragged off by Steven and locked in a small, dark room.
According to Steven, he had wanted to see if Wendy truly had claustrophobia or not.
In the end, this truly terrified Wendy and caused her to have a miscarriage.
And Steven, just like in my previous life, ignored how she was hemorrhaging and shoved her in front of my son’s urn, forcing her to atone for her sins.
He kept her there, bleeding on her knees, until her last breath.
I was sitting in the gallery on the day Steven was sentenced to death.
