Chapter 1420: Ruined

Grace looked at Brody, her face filled with confusion, and she asked, "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning, in this world, no one is innocent, and no one deserves to die," Brody's words were never as direct and clear, which caused Grace to feel devastated and upset.

The process was lengthy and lasted for a while, then Grace finally said softly, "No matter what you say, you are sorry for Mom, there is no doubt about it, and you can't escape from it."

Grace looked at Brody with a cold and indifferent expression, making no effort to conceal her resentment towards him. Although both sides of the couple had their own reasons, Brody had truly done something that hurt Page, and that couldn't be changed. Betrayal over so many years was unacceptable to anyone.

Whenever Grace thought about the long-lasting relationship between Brody and Regina, coupled with Page's goodness towards them, would they probably secretly ridicule Page as a fool?

Whenever she thought about these things, Grace felt even more uncomfortable inside.

Brody didn't show any excessive emotions in response to Grace's words. He had already done what he did, so naturally, he didn't feel the slightest remorse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a thing. It was the most normal reaction and mindset of a person.

Their gazes met, and Grace said coldly, "From now on, I won't intervene in your affairs anymore. As for this time, whether you can escape from here or not, it will depend on your skills compared to Ayan's. If you can defeat Ayan, then I'll let it go. I won't pursue it anymore. Consider it as if I never had a father like you, after all, you don't need a daughter like me. But if you can't defeat Ayan, then you must face the consequences."

After Grace finished speaking this time, she didn't say anything more. She just gave Brody a deep look and then got up and left.

As for Brody, of course, he didn't bother to ask her to stop. He didn't want to face her or deal with her, so he intentionally manipulated the situation to break Grace's emotions.

After Grace left, Brody was left alone in the house. He had a stern face, lost in his thoughts. The density in his eyes seemed to increase, to the point that it was no longer clear whether he was intentionally disguising himself or deliberately using the disguise to hide his own turmoil.

Grace left the police station with Horace. After they got into the car, Grace's emotions finally erupted.

She raised her hand and covered her face, feeling particularly awful.

With tightly pressed lips, she said, "Why is he like this? He clearly did something wrong, yet he refuses to admit it. What kind of person is he? Doesn't he even think it's his own fault? If he didn't like it from the beginning, why did he agree? Since he agreed, got together, and even had a child, shouldn't he take responsibility? Why did he betray? If he betrayed, he should have confessed earlier. Is sacrificing one's conscience for so-called benefits really worth it?"

Horace's face also darkened slightly. Actually, from his perspective, it wasn't appropriate to make too many comments. All he could do was to console Grace, "Not everyone is like that. If someone lacks a sense of responsibility from the beginning, then regardless of how it started, the end result will undoubtedly be the same."

Horace gently patted Grace's back, his voice soothing, "I know you're feeling terrible right now, but the incident has already happened. So, we need to resolve it as quickly as possible. The forensic results have already confirmed the presence of sedative drugs. The next step is to analyze whether it was departure during sleep. If it was, then it's definitely not an accident. If it wasn't, then there might be an accidental element. But what is the likelihood? It will take time, and you need to have enough strength to face it."

Grace also nodded gently and said, "I understand what you mean. I'm fine now. There's nothing else that's as unbearable as this. I've seen the dark side of human nature, so I'm fine now. I'm not afraid at all." Horace gently held her hand and whispered, "The situation is only halfway through. It seems that Ayan has made some new discoveries. We'll talk to him in detail after we go home."

Grace nodded slightly, although she didn't really feel like it. But the matter had to be dealt with, so she didn't respond much and went back to Horace's residence in Maple Grove with him.

She had stayed here for a while before, but last time it was just going up and down the stairs, while this time she was staying with Horace.

They had already lived together in China, so living together now didn't feel unfamiliar. In fact, because he was with her, Grace felt a little more secure.

Both of them took a shower and then lounged on the couch, chatting with Ayan about the new developments.

During this time, Camille initially participated in a few sentences, but then remained silent, with Ayan being the one talking to both of them.

Camille had come out of her room because she received a call from Sienna.

Sienna didn't actually have anything important to discuss; she just wanted to gossip about the progress of the situation and the current circumstances.

Camille, of course, didn't hide anything and told her the truth, including the situation involving Vere. Sienna was completely astonished when she heard it, her eyes wide open. It was absolutely unbelievable. Sienna said, "Doesn't this sound a bit like what happens on TV? So dramatic! No wonder Regina's first impression of that guy was terrible. It turns out they had incompatible vibes!"

"What are your plans now? I suspect this woman has a dark mind. Maybe she destroyed everything because she couldn't have what she wanted. As for your dad, I guess she thought he wasn't persistent enough, didn't fight for her, so she decided to destroy both of them."

"I don't think so," Camille said calmly.

"What do you think?"

"I actually think she had a child to bind this man to her, even if it meant taking risks."

"Are you saying your dad couldn't have children?"

"It's possible. After all, he's getting older, and he didn't pay much attention to his health because of his socializing and indulgence. So his physical condition may not be that good. Another reason could be that he's too selfish, which made Regina develop hatred towards him. That hatred was enough to drive Regina to seek revenge and conceive these schemes."

Camille had already made countless assumptions and hypotheses, all of which seemed highly probable to her.

And the more she thought, the more confused she became, and the more agitated. Fortunately, she had Ayan to guide her in a certain direction. Otherwise, if she were alone, she would probably collapse.
