Chapter 965 Darkness

Author: Escaping Bunny
The two of them lingered at the door of the study for a prolonged moment before Charlotte finally stepped out. With her hands tucked behind her back, she retreated, offering a smile as she closed the door behind her.

However, as she turned away, the smile on her face morphed into an expression of weariness.

Faith hadn't spoken the truth, or rather, someone had prevented her from doing so. The one who had fallen into the water during their youth wasn't her, but Madeline. Faith wouldn't have remembered it incorrectly unless she had done so intentionally.

Griffith was concealing something from her, adding to her unease. What she had long suspected might indeed be true. The car accident that claimed her parents' lives was likely deliberate and possibly orchestrated by someone within the family.

Griffith likely feared incriminating himself. With Owen deceased, even if she uncovered the truth, whom could she seek justice from?

But she couldn't feign ignorance any longer.

    As the month passed, the rain grew more persistent. The living room remained shrouded in darkness when not illuminated.Descending the stairs, Griffith found Charlotte busy in the kitchen. He leaned against the doorway, observing her methodical movements as she went about her tasks, seemingly unfazed by recent events."It's just a bit cooler. Why are you lighting the fireplace?" he asked.Charlotte turned to him, her smile gentle. "Well, there's ample space. With the window open and the fire lit, it won't become too warm.""Roasting sweet potatoes?" he remarked."Yeah, smells good, doesn't it?" she responded softly."I don't smell anything.""Then check if the fire's too weak."The two conversed casually, as if this were just another day after their marriage, with no major events occurring, only mundane matters.Charlotte brought soup to the table and found Griffith squatting in front of the fireplace, tending to the firewood with tongs. The crackling flames danced in the hear

    As the rain outside intensified, Griffith tenderly wiped Charlotte's tear-streaked face with a tissue."Griffith, say something.""...I'm looking into it," he replied softly.Charlotte lowered his hand, her voice choked with emotion. "You still haven't found out?""Yeah.""You suspect my grandfather too, don't you? It must be him!" Charlotte's emotions erupted, her voice rising. "He's my grandfather! How could he... I'll go dig up his grave! He's too inhumane!"Griffith felt a pang of anguish, holding her tightly in his arms."He's gone, he passed away like that! Why did he get to die so easily?! He should've suffered!" Charlotte's voice cracked as she poured out her grief. "I called him grandfather for so many years..."Griffith closed his eyes, feeling the tremors wracking her body as he held her, every tremor reverberating through him. He could sense the depth of her pain.If there were enemies, she could seek vengeance. But in her eyes, her grandfather was already gone, le

    Griffith had assured Charlotte that she would meet Faith and hear the truth from her. Conveniently, the meeting was scheduled for after the dinner party.With her mind consumed by thoughts, Charlotte found no interest in socializing and barely noticed Griffith's friends. Instead, she sat in her parents' room, lost in contemplation.During this time, William paid her a visit."Have you learned anything about Mom and Dad's death?" William's keen perception left Charlotte unable to evade the truth.Charlotte began to speak, but William interjected, "Don't keep it from me. I'm an adult now."She managed a smile. "I had no intention of hiding it from you. You're quite perceptive.""Then tell me.""Tonight, I'm meeting Faith. She might have some answers."A heavy silence filled the room. William remained surprisingly composed, his expression unreadable for a long moment before nodding. "I'll accompany you."Charlotte met his gaze and nodded in return.Downstairs, the atmosphere gra

    Downstairs, the cacophony of voices felt like distant echoes from another world.Madeline lingered at the doorway for what seemed like an eternity. It wasn't until she had finished a glass of wine that she finally mustered the resolve to ascend the stairs. Sleep would likely evade her once again tonight.However, just as she began her ascent, a figure dashed in from the rain, appearing to be one of the individuals who had accompanied Bruce. "Why is Mr. Bruce clinging to Mr. Hoffman?" In an instant, Madeline snapped back to sobriety. Squaring her shoulders, she called over a nearby servant."What did you say?""It's Mr. Bruce. He encountered Mr. Hoffman at the entrance. Mr. Hoffman's car appeared to have broken down, and despite Mr. Bruce's inebriation, he insisted that Mr. Hoffman take his car."A chill crept over Madeline."Which Mr. Hoffman?"The servant hesitated, then replied, "From Hoffman Corp..."Boom! Thunder rumbled outside. Madeline felt icy all over.In the backya

    Griffith arranged for Faith to be taken to a villa in the suburbs. As he and Charlotte arrived in the yard, the sounds of things being smashed echoed from within."I'll come in with you," Griffith offered."No need," Charlotte responded.Checking the time, she added, "Wait for me in the car. I'll listen to her and be back soon."She already had a sense of what she might hear. Owen's involvement in her parents' death was a haunting suspicion that had been gnawing at her. After days of contemplation, she had reached a state of numb acceptance.Griffith understood that hearing Faith's account might overwhelm her. Yet, the truth had to come from Faith herself, or Charlotte might not believe it.As the car door opened, a cool breeze swept in. Charlotte's phone rang, displaying William's call. She ignored it, leaving her phone behind. Initially, she had planned to bring William, but Griffith had insisted otherwise. In hindsight, she agreed; William's impulsive nature might complicate m

    A strong sense of foreboding gripped Charlotte's heart from the moment Faith began speaking. It became evident that Faith's attention was fixed solely on Griffith.Charlotte understood Faith all too well. Faith's actions always served her own interests, and she never hesitated to harm others. What could Owen's deeds possibly have to do with Griffith?Observing Charlotte's expression, Faith realized she hadn't seen the pieces of evidence, instantly feeling a sense of relief. True love? It was merely a delusion!She raised her hand, smoothing her disheveled hair, ignoring her hoarse voice, and proceeded, "Allow me to recount our family's ascension to power."Charlotte regarded her without affirmation or denial.Faith closed her eyes, recounting, "It's a tale both thrilling and repulsive, showcasing his cunning. Our dear grandfather was a character indeed. Leveraging our ancestral wealth and marrying into affluence, he swiftly rose to prominence in his thirties, even within King City

    In the Scott family mansion, while the other guests had departed, Isabella lingered. Ascending the stairs, she pushed open Madeline's room door.Seated behind the white desk, Madeline, clad in a bathrobe, gazed pensively out at the nocturnal rain. Isabella placed the medication beside her. "He's aware now. Do we need to alter our strategy?"Without a word, Madeline reached for the pill. "We should've anticipated Griffith's decision to allow Charlotte to meet Faith. We didn't need to go to such lengths to harm Bruce, forcing Griffith to release Faith to see Bruce."At this, Isabella chuckled softly. "But what if Griffith and your precious cousin aren't as virtuous as we presume? They may not prioritize whether Faith reunites with her biological father. Then Bruce's ordeal would have been in vain."A faint twitch played at the corners of Madeline's lips.Indeed. She had almost assumed that Charlotte's compassion would sway Griffith's stance. As a couple, they weren't entirely devoid

    Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.

    Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w

    Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these

    Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long

    The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting

    Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen

    "You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good. Due to illness, her stepfather had retired from his position as a butler of the Sterling family. Although the Sterlings provided a retirement package, Mr. Moran was getting old, and he had a son. She heard that his son's business had lost a considerable amount of money in recent years. As a stepdaughter, she had already received enough help from them, so how could she ask for more money?During her university days, she didn't ask her family for money. If she could find a part-time job, she would, and if not, she would endure it just to avoid causing her mother trouble."Mom, I don't need money. I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer

    After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n

    "What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
