Chapter 300

    I couldn''t let them lead me by the nose. I had to uncover the truth and seek justice


    for Mom!


    Shoving Lucas aside, I stared straight at Alex and said, enunciating each word


    clearly, "Alex, I''m not going with you. Today, I''ll get to the bottom of this."


    I turned to Vivian. "Vivian, what exactly did you and your family do to my mom?"


    Vivian''s face turned deathly pale. She opened her mouth as if to say something,


    but no words came out.


    Alex''s eyes flickered as he avoided my gaze. The more he evaded, the more I


    was certain that he had known all along!


    Anger and betrayal twisted together inside me, threatening to consume me whole.


    "Alex," I called out, my voice trembling with disbelief and despair. "You knew,


    didn''t you? You''ve always known that the Grayson family was involved, and you


    still kept it from me!"


    His grip on my hand loosened. His shoulders slumped as he rubbed his temples


    wearily. "Serena, I..."


    "What? What else do you have to say?"


    I pointed at Vivian, my voice hoarse with fury. "What did she just say? ''An old


    grudge from the previous generation''? Just a few meaningless words and you


    want to sweep everything under the rug? What about all the years my mom


    suffered? Does she deserve to be trampled on like this?"


    Vivian shrank back, her lips trembling, but she still said nothing.


    Alex sighed and stepped toward me, reaching for my hand again. I yanked it away


    forcefully. "Serena, listen to me. It''s not what you think..."


    "Not what I think?" I let out a hollowugh. "Then what is it? Tell me! Exin it to


    me!" I was screaming now, my tears falling uncontrobly.


    "At the time... It was Vivian..." Alex''s voice was low as he finally exined, "She


    saw that my father and my mother... had feelings for each other. In a moment of


    recklessness, she did something wrong, which led to my father and your mother


    getting married..."


    "A moment of recklessness? Did something wrong?" I repeated his words, finding


    them utterly ridiculous.


    "What exactly did she do that forced my mom into a lifetime of misery? Does that


    mean my mom''s suffering was just... inevitable?"


    I turned to Vivian, a cold sneer


    curling on my lips. "Vivian, you''ve


    really outdone yourself! You


    destroyed my mom''s life, and now,


    you think a few simple words are


    enough to settle everything? Who do


    you think you are?"


    Vivian''s face was ashen, and tears streamed down her cheeks.


    "Ms. Ashford, I''m sorry... I really know I was wrong... Back then, I was too young


    and too impulsive-"


    "Young? Impulsive?" I cut her off sharply.


    "Do you think those words can


    absolve you of your sins? Do you


    have any idea what my mom..." My


    voice broke, and I couldn''t finish my


    sentence.


    Alex pulled me into his arms, gently patting my back. "Serena, I know this is


    painful for you, but this all happened so many years ago. We..."


    "Years ago?" I shoved him away and red at him.


    "Do you think this is some kind of


    performance? I''m fighting for the


    injustice my mom faced! All these


    years, you''ve kept this from me.


    What do you take me for?"


    Silence engulfed the office, broken only by the sound of my ragged sobs.


    Alex opened his mouth to try to exin, but the words got stuck in his throat,


    tangled in helplessness.


    I stared at him coldly.


    The love I once had for him hadpletely frozen over, turning into an


    unbreakable sheet of ice that chilled me to the bone.
