Chapter 397
“So, Granny, did you oppose their relationship back then?” Agnes asked.
“Of course, who wants to hand their daughter over to a thug? Sure, he treated your mom well, but with guys like
him, you never know what they’re capable of. None of his friends were any good either, I was worried he’d be a
bad influence on your mom. I opposed it, but it didn’t make a difference”
“Did Mom really like him?”
Her Granny’s eyes filled with a hint of helplessness. “Initially, I believed your mom was simply thankful to him. He
was always there for her, picking her up from school no matter the weather I never imagined a girl as good as your
mom would fall for someone of his type. Yet when I insisted she end things with him, she went without food for
three days. That’s when it hit me she truly cared for him, despite his rough edges”

She could understand her mother’s feelings
Even though Michael was an uneducated thug, he was her mother’s hero.
“Later on, your mom went to the big city for university and Michael followed her. He promised me he’d find a
decent job and turn his life around. He said he’d come ask for her hand in marriage once he made something of
himself. I accepted him then, because I knew he genuinely cared for your mom. As long as he was around, I
wouldn’t worry about your mom being bullied in the city”
As she said this, Agnes’ Granny seemed to remember something, her voice turning somber
“What happened then? Why didn’t Mom end up with him and chose Dad instead?”
Tm not entirely sure about the events in the city. What I do know is that your mom returned home one day and
secluded herself in her room for an entire week. She neither ate nor drank, just sat in isolation. Michael arrived and
spent an entire day and night kneeling outside her door, waiting. When she finally emerged, they had a lengthy
conversation in the yard. It culminated with your mom ending their relationship. Michael was left standing there,
visibly distraught and in tears. It pained me to witness his heartbreak, I tried asking your mom about the
circumstances, but she remained tight-lipped. Soon after, Michael departed, and I never saw him again. Rumor has
it he ran into legal troubles and ended up incarcerated. Surprisingly, within three months, your mom married your
dad.”
Agnes’ Granny’s voice was full of regret as she continued, “Actually, I grew quite fond of that thug Compared to
your dad, Michael did things for your mom that your dad could never match. But I heard later that Michael
betrayed your mom, got involved with a girl from a wealthy family, and your mom was hurt. Your mom had a rough
life, being abandoned by one man was hard enough, and then even your dad treated her like that. It’s no
wonder…”
Agnes Granny couldn’t finish her sentence.

Although it happened many years ago, her daughter’s death still weighed heavily on her heart.
But she couldn’t reveal all this to Agnes.
Agnes was filled with anguish.
What Granny wanted to say was, it’s no wonder her mother, in her utter disappointment, chose to end her own life
Granny didn’t know the whole truth behind the incident.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore, Agnes, let’s eat. Your mom’s been gone for so many years, discussing these
things won’t change anything. As long as you and Jared are happy, that’s all that matters. It would let your mom
rest peacefully in heaven.”
Agnes felt heavy hearted
If it was really because of Alyssa’s trap that led her mother to end her life, Agnes didn’t know how to deal with it.
Could she continue with Jared?
