“This was your sister’s favorite necklace. Take it.”
Carson, taking the necklace, paused when he saw the engraved initials on it.
“This was the necklace my second sister gave her…”
Jonny came out and when he heard Carson mention his second sister, he thought of what Alice said before she died.
She may be gone, but the living are still suffering from the harm she caused. This account must be settled.
“Uncle, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Carson, who was almost fifty years old and dressed in a sharp black suit, turned to face Jonny as he approached, looking dignified and composed.
“What is it?”
Jonny glanced at Samuel, hesitating whether or not to tell him this in front of Samuel, but then he realized that Samuel probably didn’t really care about his mother. “Before my mother passed away, she confessed all the wrongs she had done to me and Gigi.”
“What happened?”
Carson asked with confusion, “Alice is gentle and has never done anything wrong in her life, what could she have done?”
Jonny’s gaze moved to the necklace and said, “Back then, you transferred money to her and asked her to secretly transfer it to Sumasa. She took the money and bought a bag, then threw it to the people in the slums.”
Upon hearing this, Carson couldn’t believe it. His pupils dilated, “Impossible, she’s not that kind of person. She had a close relationship with Sumasa, why would she do that?”
Jonny didn’t explain further, only saying, “Uncle, my mother said this herself before she passed away.”
Carson still didn’t believe it and turned to Gigi, asking, “Is what your brother said true?”
Gigi, who is straightforward and never lies, replied, “It’s true, he didn’t lie to you.”
They loved their mother the most, so how could they tarnish her reputation after her death? Therefore, what they said is true.
Carson, unable to accept it, sat down on the couch and said, “How could this happen…”
Samuel, standing nearby, suddenly raised his gaze and looked at Jonny, “What else did your mother say?”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jonny replied, “Jocelyn’s disfigurement was orchestrated by Alice. She manipulated her into marrying you using means.”
It’s time to give Sumasa justice, so that the living wouldn’t mistakenly believe that everything was Sumasa’s fault, when in fact it was Alice who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
He believed that his mother confessed to him and Gigi before her death, hoping to reveal the truth to Samuel and Carson through them.
After learning the truth, Samuel suddenly realized and took a step back, saying, “So it was really her…”
He had always doubted Alice, but her display of gentleness and kindness didn’t seem like the actions of a woman who would use manipulative tactics.
Unexpectedly, the person who had ruined Sumasa’s appearance back then was indeed her, and she was the one who drugged his drink.
Alice, you really know how to act!
You’ve been acting for more than thirty years, quite impressive!
Samuel clenched his fists and angrily pounded the table, saying, “Your mother ruined Sumasa’s and my life!”
Jonny said coldly, “But it’s not all her fault. After all, when you heard about Sumasa’s disfigurement, you gave up on her too. Am I not right, father?”
The hand clenched into a fist suddenly paused as if struck at the core of his thoughts, feeling somewhat embarrassed:
“If it weren’t for your mother manipulating Jocelyn into disfiguring Sumasa, how could my father have driven her out of the house? How could I have been forced to cancel my engagement with her? All of this is the consequence of your mother’s actions!”
Jonny smirked, a cold laugh escaping his lips.
“Father, ask yourself, are you truly willing to marry someone disfigured? Are you willing to spend your whole life with a completely changed face?”
Samuel recalled the first time he saw Sumasa’s disfigured face, he was terrified.
But back then, he was only in his twenties, young and foolish.
What about him now…
What about him now, would he still be afraid? Would he be able to accept it?
This question dug deep into Samuel’s heart, leaving him momentarily unable to find an answer.
Carson, who knew nothing, suddenly received so much information that he found it hard to accept, getting up from the sofa.
“I don’t believe it.”
He left these four words behind, tightens his grip on the necklace, and turned to leave.
If he believed it, then all the resentment towards Sumasa over the years would make it impossible for him to stay true to himself even after death.
“Uncle, there’s one more thing you must know.”
Carson’s footsteps paused, but he didn’t have the courage to turn around and look at Jonny.
“Sumasa is not a member of the Clark Family.”
No wonder his parents never treated Sumasa like a person, either casually abusing or humiliating her. It turns out that all of this is because Sumasa is not a member of the Clark Family. Hidden in the sunlight, Carson was filled with shock. The details that emerged in his mind constantly reminded him that Jonny did not deceive him.
Jonny told them all this to bring justice to Sumasa and to make them live the rest of their lives with guilt and repentance for Sumasa.
When someone does something wrong and owes an apology to certain people, they always have to pay a price.
Even if the two people in front of him are his elders, Jonny felt that it should be done this way.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked at Gigi and Herb sitting silently on the sofa, raising his chin.
The two immediately got up and follow him into the study.
“Brother, you haven’t told them about Rosalyn being Sumasa’s daughter.”
“That’s why I called you in.”
After Jonny sat on the sofa, he looked at the two of them.
“Don’t tell them about Rosalyn being Sumasa’s daughter. Let them think that both of Sumasa’s daughters are dead.”
