Chapter 132 Eleanor Spills the Beans
A flicker of surprise crossed Sebastian's eyes.
How deep must her hatred be to wish Michael dead!
Sebastian didn't respond to her. He frowned and clearly disapproved of Eleanor's approach.
The ward fell into a profound silence, and they could only hear each other's breathing.
Eleanor let out a bitter laugh and was filled with sorrow.
That bitter smile was like a spectacular firework that burst but vanished abruptly, beautiful yet tragic.
Sebastian's heart ached when seeing Eleanor like that.
He suddenly heard Eleanor's grieving and angry voice, "What counts as an illegal approach? Tell me, what means breaking the law? Illegally imprisoning me, disfiguring me, setting the house on fire to kill me, aren't these crimes?"
"Sebastian, you are no better than me. What right do you have to demand I not break the law? I haven't done anything malicious up till now. Even in seeking revenge, I've only targeted their vulnerabilities."
Eleanor was infuriated by Sebastian's words so she decided to spill the truth.
Whether it was the Eleanor from the Ryker family or the Eleanor who rose from the dead.
She could never forget the pain and hatred from the past.
"Sebastian, you've never experienced my despair, so don't casually judge me. Tomorrow, let's go to the Administration of Marriage and get divorced. I owe you nothing."
With these words, Eleanor lay down to sleep.
But as she closed her eyes and turned, she saw her son's tearful eyes. She was in shock. How could Waylon be here?
"Way...Waylon," Eleanor said in a trembling voice. Had Waylon heard what she just said?
Waylon said nothing while clinging tightly to his mother.
Eleanor wrapped her arms around her son, tears running down her face.
How could she have let her son hear such harsh words? She murmured an apology, "Waylon, I'm so sorry!"
Eleanor took a deep breath. Sometimes, she pondered whether it was truly possible to leave here safely with her child after seeking her revenge.
She was so angry that she even fainted when learning of Waylon's abduction.
The abductor likely didn't know that she had given birth to quadruplets and had taken only the first one born.
That one must be watching her from the shadows, and she was determined to find that person and make him regret what he did.
Her life's purpose had become revenge and raising her four children to be brilliant. Only by being their best could they avoid being bullied.
Sebastian watched Eleanor's slender figure.
He scoffed. Had he never felt despair?
He was more desperate than any others, living as if he were dead inside. If not for Waylon, he saw no point living at all.
He sighed and said, "We won't divorce."
Hearing his refusal, Eleanor turned around to look at him and asked, "Why? You're aware of my past. I was your nephew's girlfriend. Doesn't that bother you?"
Sebastian's face instantly became grim since he was deeply troubled by it.
Their eyes met, and Eleanor knew what Sebastian was thinking.
With a bitter smile, Eleanor closed her eyes again and went back to sleep.
Life was exhausting, and she needed a good rest to handle tomorrow's challenges.
"Time to sleep, Waylon," she said as she pulled the blanket over them.
Waylon blinked and then closed his eyes.
Sebastian gazed at Eleanor's back with a gloomy face.
Eleanor was the one who entangled with him first. It was impossible that she could just come and go as she pleased.
It was his choice to make whether she would stay or leave.
Sebastian didn't lie down to sleep until he calmed his emotions.
That night, members of the Ryker family, Michael, and Madison were also restless.
For the first time since their conflict, the two families gathered together. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
They went on arguing even at midnight.
Gabriella looked at Madison and said, "Madison, after she returned, Eleanor will seek revenge on both our families. It was you who had someone kill Eleanor's mother, and I have evidence. If you try to frame my daughter with Eleanor's murder, be prepared to face the doomed fate together." Gabriella was ready to go to any lengths to protect her daughter even if it meant risking her life.
Madison's brow twitched when she saw Gabriella's determined expression. She was sleepy and exhausted.
"Gabriella, stop holding onto this. If you have evidence, then show it. I'm curious about what evidence you've held onto after all these years. The case was closed more than ten years ago. Do you think you can overturn it?"
Madison couldn't help but sneered.
Gabriella took a breath and refuted, "You went to extremes to obtain her formula and even killed Eleanor's mother. I took Eleanor in and raised her out of sympathy."
"Ridiculous! Gabriella, do you expect others to buy that you're so kind? There are secrets about you that I am unaware of. I don't have the evidence to expose you, but I will find out your true motives for adopting Eleanor." Madison had harbored suspicions about Gabriella's motives for years but lacked evidence to prove them.
Madison had coerced her into crimes at that time.
Years had passed, and Gabriella had lived without guilt.
Now, when she should be enjoying her life, she was threatened by Eleanor. How could she endure this?
Gabriella's gaze flickered. If there was anything she had hidden from others, it was killing Eleanor's mother and making that person's life a living hell.
It had been over a decade since she last saw him.
"Gabriella, what secrets could I possibly have?" Gabriella retorted with a cold laugh, "Don't forget that thanks to me, you married rich. I bet your husband doesn't know about what you did to him back then."
Madison was silent. This bitch was digging up things that happened so many years ago.
"In front of the children, why are you talking nonsense?" Madison asked and shot Gabriella a cold glance.
She always felt Gabriella had set her up but couldn't find the evidence to prove it.
Back then, Madison sensed that Gabriella was insincere, but after Gabriella helped her marry into the Moore family, she didn't overthink.
"I'm not talking nonsense," Gabriella said and was running out of patience.
She looked at Madison and her son and said in a stern voice, "We can either band together to eliminate Eleanor or face mutual destruction. The choice is yours." Gabriella commanded, with a tired yet determined look on her face. She was holding the upper hand.
Guilty consciences could lead to restless days and loss of appetite.
After a long silence, Michael finally gave Gabriella a cold glance.
Gabriella sensed his gaze and looked down to avoid his eyes. She was nervously fiddling with her manicured nails, worried that Michael might reveal what happened at the casino.
"Gabriella, it's not a big deal. As long as none of us speaks, no one will know what we've done. The best choice is to stick together. It's time for Callie to find a better man and get married, which would be best for all concerned."
For now, he wouldn't give up Valentina.
Caroline scoffed at him, "My future is none of your concern. I'll marry someone a hundred times better than you."
"Eleanor is right. You're nothing but trash."
