Chapter 260 It Was Me Who Destroyed Her

Lucian continued, “Those girls did indeed have good grades at first. After receiving support from Mr. Schmitt, they all came to the big city to attend university. Some of them even stayed true to their original intentions and continued to pursue further education.”

“Moreover, the majority of girls are deceived by this flashy world. They believe that a woman’s ultimate belonging is to a man. Some abandon their studies and start mingling with middle–aged men who are already married. Some associate themselves with the wealthy second generation. And there are even those who directly hop on the cars that come to pick up female college students every Friday.”

In better cases, they got married and became full–time housewives after graduation. In worse cases, they have been living a chaotic life in this city until now. Mr. Schmitt felt deeply saddened and wanted to advise them to take the right path several times. Instead, they were bribed to falsely accuse Mr. Schmitt of misconduct towards them.

“I had some women captured to scare them. They started telling the truth. Indeed, some people had already selected a few individuals, gave them money, and instructed them to spread false rumors intentionally to harm Mr. Schmitt.”

“As for those individuals with psychological issues, either they were admitted to mental hospitals or they have already committed suicide. Their family members also cannot find any trace of them. I have never heard from any of Mr. Schmitt’s students that he treated them poorly. He is a good person. There were also attempts to bribe them back then.”

“Mr. Dalton, I dare not make any conclusions about other matters.

However, at least regarding the reputation of Mr. Schmitt, I believe we have been deceived by someone.”

Lucian made a final summary. Nolan clenched his fingers tightly around the documents. The flat paper was pulled and creased, leaving noticeable wrinkles. His knuckles turned white from the force.

His mind was filled with images of his indifference towards Peyton over the past two years and his deliberate use of Helena to hurt Peyton.

“From the very beginning, you were a pawn in my hands.”

“Peyton, this is what your family owed me!”

“Peyton, why is it not you who died but my sister!”

“Peyton, I wanted you to live a life worse than death!”

Every word he had said felt like a slap in the face.

Nolan had a splitting headache, as if a hand was tearing his head apart. The excruciating pain engulfed his entire body. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Gradually, his gaze on the paper began to wander. Lucian was still saying something, but he couldn’t take in a single word. All he could see was Lucian’s mouth opening and closing.

With a thud, Nolan’s body tilted and crashed heavily onto the ground.

“Mr. Dalton!”

Lucian hurriedly approached and helped him up. Despite starting to eat these past two days, Nolan was still too weak.

Nolan held his head and muttered, “It was me who destroyed her.”

Lucian didn’t know how to console, so he continued, “Mr. Dalton, the

information we have found so far only proves that Mr. Schmitt’s personal life is not chaotic. Don’t forget that Ms. Dalton was indeed carrying Kason’s unborn child. And before Ms. Dalton passed away, the last person she had contact with was Kason.”

Nolan muttered as if he had caught the last straw of salvation, “Yes, that’s right. It’s Kason. It must be Kason who did it. I am not wrong. I didn’t misunderstand him…”

Jayson burst in at that moment. “Mr. Dalton, someone just placed this box at the doorstep. I opened it and took a look. It should provide us. with some assistance.”

He then noticed Nolan looking lost and distraught, and quickly walked over, setting down the box. Concerned, he asked, “Mr. Dalton, what happened to you?”
