"So cold." Jane McCain muttered.
Although she felt a bit glad hearing him firmly reject the other party, when she put herself in Luna Tucker’s shoes and thought about her state of mind hearing those words, it must have been quite a blow.
On the other hand... for a girl as stubborn as Luna Tucker, without saying so harsh words, it might be difficult for her to give up, right?
"And then?" Jane McCain held onto Allen Rivera’s arm, eagerly waiting for the next part.
"Then..." Allen Rivera was silent for a while, and then slowly started speaking, "Then, she still didn’t give up, stayed at the club for the entire sumr, seemingly trying to surpass through training.
During that ti, my interest in racing had waned, maybe annoyed by her, or perhaps I just had a casual attitude about it; I would go to the club every few days, her overall score was on the rise, equal to mine, and soon she would surpass .
Then one day, people from the club called , saying sothing happened to Luna Tucker, a male driver at the club invited her under the guise of instructing driving skills, and assaulted her."
Jane McCain’s heart skipped a beat, she looked at Allen Rivera with a stunned expression.
Allen Rivera said, "I might be sowhat cold-blooded, back then I didn’t think it was related to and didn’t feel much. That male driver was sentenced to over ten years, everyone thought it was over, but unexpectedly, a month later Luna Tucker committed suicide...
She hanged herself, the first person to find her was Lucas Tucker; he was only eight or nine then and tried to carry his sister down but couldn’t move her."
Allen Rivera stopped, gently sighed, his voice very low, "She was too stubborn."
Jane McCain silently held his hand...
Allen Rivera continued, "Her father was out of town on business; upon hearing the news, he drove back hastily, probably due to anxiety, had an accident on the road... the elder family mbers couldn’t bear the blow and fell ill one after another, the Tucker family fell into complete chaos.
Their family business was in shambles; distributors wanted to return goods, suppliers wanted paynts, workers needed their wages, and forr business partners distanced themselves, scattered like monkeys when the tree falls, I guess that’s how it was."
Jane McCain softly asked him, "How did you know these things about the Tucker family?"
"My grandfather told ." Allen Rivera said, "You know the family rules, I won’t easily lose my temper; even if I make mistakes, my family won’t beat or scold . One day, my grandfather made eat a bowl of vegetables that tasted very bitter and awful; he asked if it was bitter, I said yes, he said the Tucker family was suffering a hundredfold, even a thousand tis more than I was, then told what happened to the Tucker family.
After knowing it, I still wasn’t convinced, the person who asked Luna Tucker out wasn’t , the person who assaulted her wasn’t , the person who drove her to suicide wasn’t , what did it have to do with ? My grandfather said nothing, just told to finish that bowl."
Allen Rivera smiled bitterly, "The taste was absolutely unforgettable; I never want to eat another bowl in my life."
Jane McCain held his arm tighter, feeling uneasy, whispered, "Count yourself lucky, at least you weren’t beaten; when I was little, I got smacked countless tis."
Allen Rivera looked at her with a smile, "Aunt Spencer doesn’t seem like a person who would impulsively hit children."
"My mom wasn’t born elegant and intellectual; when she was young, she was quite irritable. During career downturns, unhappy marriage, and mischievous children, you think she wouldn’t be irritable?" Jane McCain sighed, "Your grandfather was great, he even cooked for you."
"Yes." Allen Rivera smiled faintly, "I have a sensitive palate, after eating, I felt like my tongue was almost ruined; he told to explain why it tasted bad, I said the greens were cooked until burnt and all bitter, the shellfish weren’t cleaned properly, all sandy, and the marinade was boiled too long, so it turned bitter...
Then, my grandfather said, every ingredient was top-notch, originally could make a good dish, but because they weren’t treated well, turned out difficult to eat."
