Scum Daddy Dreams Of Stealing My Mommy! Chapter 151: Clearing Up All the Misunderstandings from That

Dog eats dog...

Christopher felt displeased with the taphor.

If Wendy was a dog, then what did that make him?

Yet even though he was displeased, he didn’t make a sound.

If Alia had indeed been frad and slandered, then her calling the other party a "dog" indeed didn’t seem like much.

"Wendy has been obedient since she was young, and I don’t know when she changed," Christopher didn’t want to make excuses for his sister; he was rely stating a fact.

Alia ca to her senses, her face showing so excitent, "So, you think I’ve had bad character since I was a child? After the incident happened, I explained, but your parents didn’t believe ! Including you... You didn’t accuse of anything, but you beca distant from ..."

Seeing her emotional state, as if years of grievances were finally being understood, Christopher frowned and stepped forward two steps involuntarily, "So, it really was them who frad you..."

"If you still don’t believe it, then why did you co to ask?"

"I’m not saying I don’t believe it, just that, back then, why didn’t you explain more tis? Later, when we were alone, I asked you, and you angrily said it was indeed you who pushed, I..."

Alia looked at him, suddenly finding this man ludicrous!

"Christopher... given our relationship at that ti, I thought that even if there were ironclad evidence before , you should still stand by my side, unconditionally trust that I was innocent."

"But you didn’t stand up for in front of your parents, and then you ca to ask , do you know what it ans when that question is asked?"

"—It ans you doubted too, didn’t trust . At that ti, I had..."

Alia took a deep breath, her warm eyes firmly locking away the tears.

Ti had passed, and she thought she no longer cared about that affair.

But surprisingly, bringing it up today, she still felt so agitated.

Attempted murder... that was the charge.

If it hadn’t been for Grandpa firmly defending her, she would have gone to prison!

She almost blurted out—back then, I trusted you so much, loved you so deeply, I even considered you a part of myself...

Fortunately, reason returned in ti, and she held back those words.

Once her emotions had settled a bit, she softened her tone, "When you asked that question, it was more painful than a stab to the heart. You had already convicted ; what good would more explanations do? In your eyes, those were nothing but excuses, signs of guilt, still trying to take advantage of the Hart family."

At that ti, she was not favored in the Garcia family, was by nature introverted, and was both insecure and sensitive.

After the incident, she understood that Wendy Hart didn’t like her and didn’t want her to be too close to the Hart family.

Given that, what else could she say?

Even the most humble life has its bottom line, its bit of backbone and pride.

Besides, she was only in her teens at the ti, faced with the accusations and vitriol of so many elders, caught in a torrential downpour, surrounded on all sides; how could she have managed to cope?

Under the weight of such injustice and sorrow, she simply shouted out—if you say I was the one that pushed, then it was !

When Christopher had asked her alone, she, heartbroken and in despair, had spitefully said the sa thing.

In the past few days, Christopher had been reflecting on the events of that year and the more he thought, the more he felt that he had indeed been a real bastard back then!

At the ti, his perception of his frail and obedient little sister had remained unchanged; he never thought she could do such a thing.

Given her health condition, she was still frequently hospitalized even when being well-cared for.

Falling into the sea was akin to dealing with King Rhys himself.

To fra soone else at the risk of one’s own life, it’s just too unbelievable.

Moreover, there was Lily Garcia’s testimony.

She said they were chatting on the deck and got into an argunt, and in a fit of anger, Alia pushed Wendy into the sea.

Although Lily Garcia wasn’t Alia’s biological sister, they were still family after all.

Who could imagine that Lily would conspire with outsiders to slander her own family?

Thinking back on it all, Christopher Hart wished he could travel back in ti and stab himself a few tis!

"Alia, I’m sorry..." He looked as she turned her face away, clenched his fist and raised his arm, gripping her shoulder, "I thought at the ti, you had accidentally caused Wendy to fall into the sea. It was an accident, and you were scared, panicked, so you denied it..."

Alia Garcia gave a cold laugh and looked at him, "No wonder. Not only did you not speak up for at the ti, but you also told to tell the truth—that’s how you saw it."

Yes.

At the ti, Christopher had thought that by having her tell the truth and then apologizing sincerely, she might win her family’s forgiveness, and he could also protect her sowhat.

But she was stubbornly headstrong.

"I’m sorry, Alia, really... I truly believed you in my heart, but under those circumstances, I could never have imagined that Wendy would have such a ruthless determination..."

The hand on her shoulder grew tighter as he spoke. Alia frowned and raised her own hand to remove his.

"Forget it. I’m surprised I can even clear my na in this lifeti. I said last night, I am not interested in your apologies and admitting wrongs. I just hope you know the truth now and stop hating —I never intended to harm your sister."

"No, apologies and admissions of guilt are certainly necessary," Christopher said after she pushed his hand away, his fingers awkwardly clenching again.

After a mont of hesitation, he raised his eyes again, "So... that said, about stealing corporate secrets, you..."

"What?" Alia suddenly laughed, tilting her head toward him, "Have you co this early in the morning just to provoke ?"

"No, I just want to know why your bracelet was on the carpet of the study desk, if it wasn’t you."

"My bracelet was lost long ago. However, it was handed down from Grandma; I didn’t dare to tell because I was afraid of getting scolded by Michael Garcia. I thought I would look for it secretly myself. Then, a few days later, it turned up in your family’s study when your family just happened to lose so confidential docunts."

Speaking of this, Alia unconsciously twisted her wrist.

She hadn’t taken the jade bracelet with her when she divorced and moved out of the Imperial Garden Villa.

According to Hope, he had kept all her belongings—which ant the bracelet should still be in the villa.

After hearing her out, Christopher thought for a mont, "So, this must be a trap too. Besides Lily Garcia, there’s no one else who could steal your bracelet."

"And the bracelet appearing in your family’s study would be another masterstroke by your sister," Alia said, her tone mocking.

Therefore, it was still a conspiracy orchestrated by Lily Garcia and Wendy Hart.

Besides that, all those "accidents" and "misunderstandings" were suddenly explainable.

It made sense—their shared interests led them to collude with each other, one not wanting her to be favored in the Garcia Family, the other not wanting her to take favor from the Hart Family.

Understanding everything, Christopher was overwheld with sha, and suddenly he found himself unable to even utter an apology.

All the suppressed love in his heart, after clearing away the chaotic barriers, ca rolling back all at once, making him want to embrace the woman before him tightly in his arms.

But, he dared not...

Alia probably sensed sothing and turned away, walking over to pour herself a drink.

"Now that you know what you wanted to know, it’s getting late, aren’t you going to work?"

She gave him his marching orders.
