TimeNovelChapter 774 Celine countered coldly, "You're lying! Carly, we all heard it just now. You knew all along it was Anne who used the venom on Ms. Jakeman-your own mother -yet you still sided with the woman who tried to kill her!" "That's right, Carly. We heard every single word clearly. Stop trying to deny it!" Hailey added angrily. Nigel, Fiona, Adam, Celine, and Hailey were all staring at her with icy gaze, leaving Carly with no room to escape. She felt her heart sink to rock bottom. Nigel turned to Anne. "Anne, don't you think you owean explanation?" Anne knew the gwas up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was no point in denying it anymore. She met his gaze and asked, "Nigel, what is is exactly that you wantto explain?" Her calmness only added fuel to the fire in Nigel's heart. He stepped forward and grabbed her by the throat. "I trusted you! Why would you do this? Fiona is my wife- legally married to me! Why would you go after her, causing her to nearly die giving birth? To think that all these years I've protected you, thinking you were kind and innocent!" ---- Anne choked under the pressure of his grip.
As his furious face loomed in her vision, she sneered, "That innocent Anne Warwick died a long tago." Nigel's eyes reddened, and the chill around him turned glacial. His violent aura made him look terrifying. "What is that supposed to mean? I know your father died because of the Hampton family, but we took you in and treated you as one of our own, like my own sister. Wasn't that enough?" "Of course not! You gavehouses, money, everything- but none of that was what I really wanted. What I wanted was you!" Nigel froze. "Nigel, we grew up together.
We're no different from childhood sweethearts. If Fiona hadn't existed, I would've married you. I should've been your wife! "But you married her! Do you know how much that hurt me? It was worse than death! Watching you fall for her, grow closer and closer... it was unbearable! "Why should Fiona get everything? She's the extra! If she disappeared, you'd be mine. I wanted her dead!" The great jealousy and hatred in her heart twisted her once- gentle features. Nigel was stunned. "Anne, you've ---- changed. I don't even recognize you anymore." "I changed because of Fiona.
Because of you!" She stared at Nigel with an almost obsessed look, slowly lifting a hand to caress his face. "Nigel, why can't you see? I love you. I've always loved you more than Fiona ever did!" But before her hand could touch him, Nigel turned away sharply and shoved her aside. Anne stumbled backward and fell pitifully on the ground. Nigel towered over her with eyes full of disdain and finality. "Anne Warwick, letmake this crystal clear -I never loved you. Not in the past, not now, and I never will. I only regret that I was too blind to see your true colors.
"Whatever debt I owed your parents, I've already repaid. From now on, we're even. If you ever lay a finger on my wife or anyone close toagain, I will not show you you any mercy." He was consumed with fury. He never imagined he had raised a snake by his side-the very one who had tried to harm Fiona all these years. Anne's face turned deathly pale-she knew she had lost him. ---- From this moment on, Nigel would no longer be on her side.
