Chapter 105 Investigating Her Mother
Gabriella was stunned. She walked over, hugged her daughter, and gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "Callie, don't be sad. I will make him come to beg you for mercy."
She widened her eyes in anger. She and her daughter had been insulted on the same day, so she would not let Michael go.
Caroline shook her head and burst into tears, saying, "Madison said I was a murderer. Michael has evidence of me killing Eleanor and her child. If we cause trouble, they will reveal the evidence."
She was remorseful while speaking. After a pause, she continued, "Mom, I hate you. Why did you raise Eleanor back then? Why did you make me a murderer? Why did you do this to me? Why?"
She had a mental breakdown and punched her mother in the back. She had been only 19 years old back then. She had been arrogant and frivolous, not knowing the consequences would be catastrophic. When someone got the thing she wanted, she only knew she must snatch it back.
She had fallen in love with the talented and handsome Michael at first sight when she was 16. Both her mother and Madison had wanted to kill Eleanor, while she had wanted Michael. She had ruined her life for a scumbag, so she bitterly regretted it.
Gabriella smiled with scarlet eyes and said with murderous intent, "Callie, what's done is done. There is no turning back. If we had not killed Eleanor, we would have died miserable. You did the right thing. Since you broke up with Michael, I will help you marry a better man. There are many wealthy families in Croeye. Michael is ruthless and heartless. It is a good thing that you got rid of him. You can marry into a better family."
After last night's incident, Gabriella understood that no one would dare to mess with her as long as her family was strong enough.
Caroline closed her eyes and cried bitterly. She had deeply loved and attracted to Michael for eight years, but he had denied their relationship with just one sentence.
…
Eleanor didn't go out in the afternoon and received a message from Sienna in the evening.
Sienna: I sent you the recording of a conversation in Michael's villa.
Waylon was not in the room, so Eleanor clicked on the recording to listen to the conversation between Caroline and Madison.
When she heard Caroline say, "You did it to Eleanor's mother in person," the phone slipped out of her hand.
Mother!
The word shocked Eleanor. They had been talking about her mother. She had a mother, so she was not an orphan. But what had Madison and Gabriella done to her mother?
"Madison, Gabriella, Caroline, and Michael, let's wait and see."
Eleanor's eyes turned red. What had happened to her mother? What on earth had Madison and Gabriella done?
Eleanor was scared. She was afraid her mother had suffered the same as her. She trembled and felt pain all over.
She swore she would find out the truth and picked up her phone from the ground. When she was about to call Sienna, the latter sent another message.
Sienna: This is the recording of a conversation in the Ryker family's house.
After Eleanor clicked on it, she heard the conversation between Caroline and Gabriella.
Gabriella said, "If we had not killed Eleanor, we would have died miserable. You did the right thing."
What did it mean? Eleanor wondered who her mother was and why they had been so afraid of her mother that they had killed her.
The formula was not their ultimate goal. It was the power behind her mother that had scared them.
Eleanor slightly shook her hand and called Sienna.
"Eleanor."
Eleanor said in a trembling voice, "Sisi."
"Eleanor, I know you are sad. But you must be strong. Let's leave here after we find out the truth, OK?"
Sienna felt sorry for Eleanor, who had had a hard time these years. She had driven herself crazy to seek revenge.
Eleanor smiled with tears in her eyes, "I'm fine. Please investigate the people Gabriella and Madison interacted with when they were young. Maybe we can get some information about my mother."
Sienna firmly said, "OK. I believe I can find out the truth. I need some time."
"I know you can do it!"
After hanging up the phone, Eleanor was in no mood for drawing. She walked to the balcony and looked at the red sunset, feeling depressed. She slowly sat on the ground and blankly looked out the window.
When she was young, she had never been happy and expected Gabriella to give her some love and warmth. But she had been disappointed every time.
When Eleanor was nine, Caroline had been held hostage. Gabriella had begged the gangster on her knees and lied that Caroline had a heart disease. She had said she would kill herself if Caroline died.
Seeing the gangster slightly cut Caroline's neck with a dagger, Gabriella almost fainted from anxiety and said, "No! Please don't hurt her. Can I exchange my other daughter for her? She is in good health and will not faint, so she will not become a drag on you."
Eleanor had been maturing early, so she instantly understood what Gabriella meant. But she couldn't bear to see Gabriella cry. Therefore, she had swayed when meeting Gabriella's pleading eyes.
"Eleanor, you are healthy and strong. I believe you can escape. Please save Caroline. She is your only sister. Can you bear to watch her die?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Eleanor had bitterly smiled. Although she had felt heartbroken, she had still become the hostage in place of Caroline.
Gabriella immediately took Caroline and Timothy home, not caring whether Eleanor would die.
Eleanor had escaped and returned home two days later. Seeing her, Gabriella had been shocked as if seeing a ghost.
Eleanor guessed Gabriella had wanted to kill her since then. She sneered and uncontrollably cried, wondering why Gabriella could be so ruthless.
Eleanor sat there until dark but did not realize it.
When Waylon came in, he didn't see her but saw her unfinished design on the table. After looking around the room, he found her on the balcony. When he trotted over, he saw her red and dull eyes. She seemed to have cried. And her expression was distressed.
He sadly walked over, crouched beside her, and held her hand.
Eleanor slowly returned to her senses. Her eyes became much more evident when she met her son's worried gaze.
She hugged him and said, "Waylon, my baby."
Eleanor burst into tears and tightly held him. Now, she no longer needed to humbly beg for love because her four sons all loved her.
Feeling her sadness, Waylon quietly let her hold him.
Suddenly, a cold voice asked, "What's wrong?"
Eleanor instantly raised her head to look at Sebastian. She wiped her tears and smiled, "Nothing. I couldn't help feeling sad because someone I knew might have passed away."
Sebastian looked at her red eyes. There seemed to be thick fog in them, so he could not figure out what she was thinking.
He asked, "Are you OK?"
She smiled, "Yes, I'm OK!"
He looked at her and calmly said, "Eleanor, you are my woman, so that you can use my privileges. If you are bullied, you should retaliate."
Eleanor was stunned, not understanding why he had said such words.
