Chapter 722
Fia’s question did not come out of the blue. She knew that the Starling family had a monopoly in the marine
business.
Even today, the Starlings were still the main powerhouse at sea. Of course, they were able to remain this strong
because Conrad gave way to them whenever it involved marine business.
She did not know the entire story. She also did not know what Garrett, her father-in-law, and Clarice, Jason’s
mother, thought about this whole incident.
However, when she learned of this from Jason yesterday, Fia realized that Beryl was a woman who lacked good
conscience. On the contrary, Clarice was able to raise a kind and gentle person like Jason. So, she must be a good
person. At the very least, she was not a bad person.
Frankly, now that she thought about it, Clarice probably willingly carried the foul reputation as a ”
homewrecker” because she thought she had wronged Beryl. So, it was natural for Clarice to not suspect the
Starlings.
And her father-in-law… Although Conrad kept saying how heartless and irresponsible Garrett was, he had raised
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason into such a good man. It was quite likely that Garrett was a man of good conscience. He probably felt sorry
for Beryl and Conrad. So, even if he had found out what Beryl did, he let it go. His daughter was already dead and
he did not want Clarice to live a sad life holding onto vengeance. Thus, -he hid the truth from her.
Therefore, Fia came here to talk about it. Beryl was currently under the influence of alcohol. So, this was a golden
opportunity for her to uncover the truth.
“Who sent you to ask me this? Was it that wrench, Clarice?! Heh, she is too scared to confront me so she sent you,
huh?! What? That heartless Garrett has lost control of this witch, am I right? So, she’s now coming to avenge her
daughter!” Beryl screeched hysterically, as though she was going mad.
Fla’s ears hurt hearing her screeching. She let out a long sigh and said, “No one sent me here. It’s just that I got
curious after hearing bits of the story. That’s why I came here, to ask you.”
“Ha! Who do you think you are? This doesn’t concern you at all!” Beryl glared at her with blood-shot eyes and
continued yelling at her, “You don’t have the right to ask about this! If there’s anyone who has the right, it’s Garrett
and that Evans slut! Tell them to come here and ask me themselves! Ha! It’s been twenty years! I’m impressed that
they have so much patience!”
“Has this ever crossed your mind?” Fia tilted her head.
“What?!”
“Watching one’s own child die hurts so much that it could kill a person. Ms. Evans cried so much that she went blind
for an entire year. Yet, they never suspected you. Do you know why?”
Fia’s words piqued Beryl’s interest.
“Why?” Beryl widened her eyes. “Garrett is so heartless that he left me. Why is it that after their daughter died he
never came to seek revenge on me and my family?”
“Because they thought they were in the wrong.” Fia smirked at her sarcastically. “Because they are much kinder
than you. So, they don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore.”
“Bullsh*t!” Beryl yelled, “If they are so good and kind, they would have never gotten together! That slut was
originally my best friend! Yet, she came and stole my husband from me!”
Fia was shocked to hear Beryl and Clarice’s past.
“God could not stand to see this further. So, that’s why He took their daughter from them! This is their
punishment!”
“Fine, let’s say it’s the will of God. Now, can you swear to God that you never pulled strings to sabotage the
rescue?” Fia asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeryl thought about what happened back then. She had learned that Garrett was bringing his new family on a
cruise. So, she furiously went onboard to confront them. She made a huge scene and ruined the feast.
She had no intention to make that little girl lose her life.
Yeah! It was that little girl’s fault! It’s her own fault! Because she did not stay in bed like a good girl. That was why
she got pushed into the ocean.
Clarice had wailed on the deck and wanted to jump into the ocean to save her daughter. Garrett felt so bad for her
and was afraid of losing her. So, he hugged her tightly in his arms, fearing that she would really jump.
But she, Beryl Starling, was his wife! Not Clarice!
Garrett Maxwell… He had always been like this, always so cold to her. He treated her so coldly that he would not
even touch her on their wedding night. She had to put an aphrodisiac in his wine to make him consummate their
marriage with her!
Seeing just how close Garrett and Clarice were had made her overcome by jealousy! So, she asked her father and
brother to not help them when Garrett pleaded with them to help rescue his daughter on the phone…
“Did you pull strings to stop the rescue?” Fia looked at Beryl’s anxious, jumpy face and asked again.
Beryl, pulled back from her thoughts, screeched hysterically, “It’s not my fault! Not my fault! That girl is not my
daughter! Why must I help them to rescue the girl?!”
Fia was speechless upon hearing this.
