Chapter 65
“It’s all because you wanted to kill Eddie. Mom did this to protect him. I got into trouble because of you” Meghan cried louder and louder, her voice full of blame and regret.
If she had persuaded George not to kill Edward, maybe Bethany wouldn’t have tied her up.
A sudden wave of deep regret washed over her.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.
George shouted angrily, “Evangeline said that one of us and Edward must die. If we don’t sacrifice him, what do you think we should do? Should we both die?”
He continued. “I want to kill Edward not just for myself, but also for you. How dare you push all the blame onto me! You really have no conscience
at all!”
Meghan roared, “You can go and kill Evangeline. Once she’s dead, she won’t pose a threat to us anymore!”
George said, “She sent our video to Arthur. If anything happens to her, Arthur will still expose the video, and we’ll be ruined anyway!”
Besides, he couldn’t kill Evangeline.
Evangeline herself was already so powerful. With Arthur’s men protecting her, George would never succeed.
Meghan cried and said. “Then kill Arthur as well. If he also dies, we won’t be in trouble
George roared, “If you’re so capable, go and kill him yourself! Do you think it’ll be like killing a chicken? You say it so easily!”
He was injured, and being locked up in such a place annoyed him.
Meghan kept on accusing him, so he snapped and couldn’t help but yell at her.
Meghan also broke down. Due to the physical and mental torture she went through, she was no longer able to maintain her gentle facade.
When George shouted at her, she yelled back.
Because they were tied up. George couldn’t hit her
“You’re useless. Don’t make so many excuses for yourself! Meghan scolded.
“Who are you talking about?” George asked in furious.
Meghan said, “You! You’re just a loser. When Grandpa was in control of Gallagher Group, the Gallagher family was still the richest in Hofcaster. But, since Gallagher Group was handed over to you, it has been declining. It’s even being suppressed by Ferdinand Group, which has no backing and has only been established for a few years. We lost our position as the richest family! If it wasn’t for the Gallagher family’s diverse business, you would’ve made us go bankrupt a long time ago. Our whole family would’ve ended up in the streets! Why do you think Eddie started his own entertainment company? He was afraid that you’d ruin Gallagher Group, and we’d have no money in the future. That’s why he went out to start his own business! If you say you’re not a loser, then who is?”
“You… You…” George was gasping for air, but he couldn’t say a word to contradict Meghan
Because Gallagher Group was indeed faced
The board of directors had also criticized him many times,
But Meghan had no right to say those things to him.
He gave her a luxurious lifestyle. What right did she have to look down on him!
Meghan suppressed so much resentment in her heart – perhaps because she had been pretending for too long.
Once she started letting out her frustrations, she couldn’t stop.
She continued, “You’re not just bad at business, you’re even worse in bed! Every time lasts less than three minutes, and I have to pretend so hard for your sake! You have no idea how hard I have to actr
You….. You…. You… You bitch!” George swore
Meghan retorted, “Loser!”
“Bitch!” George shouted.
“Loser!” Meghan yelled back.
“Bitch! Bitch!” George roared.
in
anger.
“Loser! Loser! Loser! You’re really a loser now, unable to even last three mi
in the future! Meghan laughed
“You’re the same. You’re also ruined George retorted.
“I’m different from you. I’m still good in bed! But you’re not. You lose it. You’ll be nothing more than a cuuch!” Meghan morked “Ahhhh!” George roared.
The next day, Edward was discharged from th
the hospital and went home.
His body hadn’t fully recovered, and his face was still bruised.
When Bethany saw him coming home, she hurried to help him and asked worriedly. “Eddie, why did you come home! Didn’t the doctor advise you to stay in the hospital for a week!”
Edward walked to the couch and sat down with Bethany’s help.
“Tomorrow’s the third day of the deadline given by Evangeline, but we still haven’t fulfilled her request, I can’t stay in the hospital any longer. I need to come back and find a way to solve this, Edward said.
“By the way, is Dad at home! Please call him down, Mom. I’d to discuss things with him and see what we can do,” he added.
He thought George was in the study.
Bethany looked down to hide the panic in her eyes and said, “Your father and Meghan went out. They’re not at home.
Edward frowned and asked, “They went out? Where did they go!”
Bethany shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I can’t be bothered to care about them now, I feel like seeing them brings bad luck. I do hope they leave my sight”
Edward replied, “Take it easy, Mom. It’s already happened. Overthinking will only be bad for your health.”
Bethany nodded and said, “I know. Don’t worry about me. I’ll send you back to the hospital first. You should take good care of your injuries and don’t leave any sequelae. The Gallagher family will need you in the future.”
Edward said, “I’m not going back. Tomorrow is the last day, and I must wait for Dad to come back to discuss a solution with him. Otherwise, we won’t come up with anything by tomorrow. The moment Evangeline releases the video, the Gallagher family will be completely ruined.”
Bethany said, “Don’t worry about it. When your father comes back, I will discuss it with him and contact you afterwards.”
Edward frowned and looked at his mother in confusion.
His mother had always been a person who had no opinions of her own
In the past, when something happened to them, Bethany would panic like a headless fly. She would only get anxious and ask others what to do and let them find a way to solve it,
But today, he didn’t know why his mother seemed to be a different person
Despite facing
g such a big unresolved problem, she showed no signs of worry at all.
She didn’t look flustered too.
It was as if she wasn’t worried about the issue at all.

Chapter 6.5
That was strange.
It did not align with her character and style.
There must be something wrong.
Edward gathered his thoughts and nodded lightly. “Okay, I go back to the hospital. When Dad comes back, remember to ask him to contact me so we can discuss how to handle this. If things really go south, I’ll reveal the truth about Pamela’s act of ending her own life
“Stop imagining ridiculous things! Bethany snapped. She hurriedly added, “And don’t talk nonsense to other people. Pamela chose to end her life- it has nothing to do with you!”
Edward pursed his lips and said nothing.
Bethany touched Edward’s head and said with tears in her eyes. “Eddie, you must take care of yourself. You and your two younger brothers must live well. If anything happens in the future, the Gallagher family will depend on you. And your two younger brothers, they’ll depend on you too, They’re too naive. You must protect them as the eldest.”
Edward hugged Bethany and said seriously, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll protect each one of you at any time.
Bethany forced a bitter smile through her tears.
She wouldn’t have a chance to be protected by him.
Her sons had a future, but she didn’t.
Bethany gently patted Edward on the back and said, “Well, I’ll take you to the hospital.
Edward let go of Bethany and said, “You don’t look well. Did you sleep well last night? Have a good rest at home. I’ll go to the hospital by myself”
Bethany thought for a while then nodded.
Indeed, she didn’t sleep well last night.
She hasn’t been able to sleep since returning from the basement last night.
As soon as she closed her eyes, a horrible picture kept popping into her mind.
Edward left the mansion.
Bethany sat on the couch in a daze, crying
A death certificate was required when people died. As long as George’s and Meghan’s bodies were sent to the hospital for a death certificate, it would expose the truth that they had been killed.
She couldn’t escape.
She would go to jail and may even be sentenced to death.
But she had no regrets.
If she were granted another chance, she would still make the same decision.
Bethany went back to her room.
She took some sleeping pills and lay down on the bed to rest.
When she woke up, it was already evening.
She went to the kitchen and cooked a lot of delicious dishes, then packed them in three separate thermal food containers.
The dishes she cooked were her three sons favorite.
After packing the food, she put on a mask and went out with the thermal food containers. Then she drove to the hospital.
Edward and Jasper were placed in the same ward, and Samson was there to take care of them.

Bethany opened the ward door and entered, all three of them were inside.
1, why are you here? Why didn’t you call me before coming so that I could pick you up?” As Samson spoke, he walked to the door and took the iners of food from Bethany.

r was in low spirits. He had been depressed since he woke up.
i now, he still couldn’t accept the fact that Evangeline was Jade, and his inner world collapsed into ruins.
r Bethany came, he softly greeted his mother and then continued to lower his head.
any helped him set the table, then took out the food and put it on the table..
I made all your favorite dishes today. Have some,” she said.
m. I don’t have an appetite… Jasper replied.
u have to eat even if you don’t have an appetite. If you don’t eat, how can your injury be healed? Come on, have some. Don’t let me down. If you i’t eat it now, you won’t be able to eat it again. Bethany said.
nson had begun eating. As he ate, he said, “Mom, what are you saying? Jas doesn’t want to eat now, so don’t force him. After he gets well and goes me, you can cook for him!”
ward cast a deep glance at Bethany, then looked away and silently continued his meal.
