Chapter 603: All Sorts Of Excuses
Cheyenne’s heart was aching, and she couldn’t bring herself to say the rest.
She had already been on guard against Karen. Despite knowing that she had done something unforgivable, Karen’s crocodile tears and elaborate lies, coupled with their familial ties, had made Cheyenne believe that she had really repented and wanted to be a good mother again.
Thus, Cheyenne had trusted Karen so much that she had handed Amelia to her without hesitation. She had never thought that her mother would actually harm her daughter!
If Lucas hadn’t been aware of this and hadn’t prepared people to be on standby to rescue Amelia, Cheyenne wouldn’t have dared to imagine what plight Amelia would be in now.
The thought of her tender and soft daughter getting hurt, abused, or even killed because of this made Cheyenne’s heart ache so much that she couldn’t breathe.
Charlotte looked at Karen with disappointment on her face, utterly disappointed by her cruel and heartless actions.
“When you treated me that way previously, I knew you didn’t care about us as your daughters at all. The only person you’ve ever loved is yourself! But I never thought that you would be able to do something so heartless! You don’t deserve to be our mother! You don’t even deserve to be a human being!” Charlotte shouted, her eyes full of anger and sorrow.
If possible, who would want to say this about their own mother, the person who had given them life and raised them?
But Karen’s behavior had trampled on the bottom line of their tolerance as her daughters again and again.
Amelia was still so young. How on earth could Karen bear to make such a decision? Was she really that heartless?!
Compared to the grief and anger felt by Cheyenne, Charlotte, and William, Lucas seemed much calmer.
Reason being, Lucas had long seen through Karen and her true colors.
But even so, he couldn’t suppress the massive killing intent that arose in his heart when he saw that Karen had decided to trade his most cherished daughter to Moses in exchange for her own benefit.
Joe, Bruce, Damon, and others were also clear about what had happened, and they all looked at Karen as if they were looking at trash.
They all said that even a monster wouldn’t hurt its own children. This woman in front of them had not only tried to kill her husband several times, but she had even handed her young granddaughter to an enemy. She was simply inhumane.
Looking at the resentful and condemning eyes in front of her, Karen couldn’t stand it even though she was really thick-skinned.
There was a single thought that kept running through her mind—since the matter of her abducting Amelia had been exposed, her repeated attempts to kill William would soon be exposed too.
It was over for her!
Karen was so flustered and terrified that she couldn’t think of any way out. She simply ran to William’s wheelchair and knelt. The next instant, two lines of tears rolled down from her eyes.
“Honey, I-I was forced to do it! I didn’t have a choice either! You were in a coma before, so you didn’t know. The Taylors threatened me with Cheyenne’s and Charlotte’s lives and forced me to kill you. I really had no choice!
“Moses Kingston also forced me to abduct Amelia. If I hadn’t listened to him and brought Amelia here, our entire family would have suffered! I was really forced to do it. Honey, Cheyenne, please forgive me!”
Crying and pretending to be miserable was the only way Karen could think of to deal with the situation in front of her.
But she had already used these tricks too many times before, and her character had also been completely exposed, so no one believed her at all.
William lowered his head and looked at Karen, who was crying in front of him and unable to get a grip on her emotion. He said indifferently with some contempt, “Karen, do you still treat us as fools now?
“Don’t you forget. Although I was a vegetable previously because of my severe injuries, I was just immobile. It didn’t mean that I couldn’t hear what you said and feel those things you did!
“The first two days I was hospitalized, you deliberately acted like a virtuous wife and mother when there were people around. But after they left, you abused me, insulted me, and even thought of ways to kill me!
“And you also told me that you planned the car accident that left me seriously injured and comatose. You even admitted that you hired someone to murder me! You also told me yourself that you had wanted to get rid of me for a long time because not only could I not give you the luxurious life you wanted, but I had also obstructed you in every possible way and became a stumbling block for you. That is why you’ve been trying to get rid of me!
“Now, you’re still trying to make up excuses in front of me and claiming that you were forced into it. Hah. Do you think I’d believe you?”
Toward the end, William’s face was also covered in misery.
After all, she was his wife, with whom he had been living for nearly three decades. They also shared a pair of beautiful daughters.
Although he had always been dissatisfied with her, he hadn’t divorced her. And although he didn’t let Karen live in the lap of luxury, he had at least let her live without worrying about food and clothing.
Therefore, he had never expected that the woman he had been sleeping next to for years would have such terrible thoughts about him and do such terrifying things for the sake of a ridiculous reason.
He was truly disappointed!
When Karen heard William exposing all her misdeeds in public, her expression changed drastically, but she gritted her teeth and hurriedly argued, “No, I didn’t do such things. It must be because you’re muddled up, so you’re remembering things wrongly. Maybe you dreamed it! Yes, this must be it!
“You weren’t even conscious at the time, so how could you have heard what I said and did? Honey, could it be that you’ve always seen me as such a vicious woman?”
She was crying so miserably that her face was covered in tears, as if William had really misunderstood her and had also broken her heart.
Karen definitely couldn’t admit to the truth, so she could only make a big deal out of William’s coma.
But William would no longer believe her words.
“You should know best if I was dreaming or not! The wounds you pinched and pierced on my body are still there! Are you going to argue that these wounds were all done by me, a comatose vegetable?”
He sneered and lifted the clothes around his waist, revealing a piece of skin covered with crescent-shaped nail pinch marks with blood. They didn’t fade even after two to three days, so it was clear how ruthless the pinches were at the time.
Karen’s face turned pale, and she didn’t dare to observe her ‘masterpiece’. However, her eyes rolled, and she immediately exclaimed, “Honey, it definitely wasn’t me. You have to trust me! It was Lucas! He told you those things to try and make you suspect me. William, can’t you see that Lucas just wants to harm us and take our assets!”
Karen suddenly raised her hand and pointed her finger at Lucas, putting the blame on him.
