when she left he went crazy (Hope and Christopher)

CHAPTER 29

Chapter 29 Let Her Bear All the Consequences.

“The situation is just as you see it.”

Bentley’s voice carried a hint of sorrow. “It’s the Valence family’s fault, Isabella; it’s my failure to raise my son properly!”

My late mother–in–law had a beautiful name, Isabella Valence.

Upon hearing this, 1, too, was deeply shocked.

It turned out that my mother–in–law did not simply die in childbirth; she was pushed down the stairs just before giving birth.

And the one who pushed her was none other than Christopher’s “kind stepmother,” Brenda, who loved him so much that she sacrificed herself to save him and became a vegetable.

My mind was in turmoil.

She could treat Christopher so well, yet she was the one responsible for the death of Christopher’s birth mother.

It seemed to go against human nature.

Before I could gather my thoughts, Bentley continued, “You don’t understand why she could treat Christopher do you?”

r so well.

“Yes.”

ntley sneered, “It’s all for her benefit.”

“After Isabella’s death, my foolish son insisted on marrying Brenda.”

“Before pushing Isabella down the stairs, Brenda damaged the surveillance cameras. She thought she left no evidence, so she pretended to be sorrowful just like Charlie and begged for my approval.”

Hearing this, I understood, “You had someone fix the surveillance>-6

“Yes.”

Bentley nodded, gritting his teeth. “But Charlie was deceived by Brenda. Faced with the evidence, he still insisted on marrying Brenda!”

Enraged, Bentley angrily smashed the cup!

Even now, he could still be so angry; I could imagine how furious he must have been back then.

Barry, fearing Bentley’s anger might trigger a health crisis, gently patted Bentley’s back to calm him down

Barry said, “Mr. Bentley was forced to agree to their marriage, but with two conditions. Firstly, she had to sign at

Chapter 29 Let Her Bear All the Consequences.

prenuptial agreement, ensuring that the Valence family’s assets were not related to her. Secondly, she had to ensure Mr. Christopher grew up safely; otherwise, the evidence would be handed over to the police.”

Brenda would be imprisoned for attempted murder.

Hearing this, I found it hard to believe.

I never expected Bentley’s aversion and disgust towards Evelyn and Brenda were due to such shocking reasons.

The “motherly mother in Christopher’s memory turned out to have her ugly side exposed by Bentley.

I whispered, “Does Christopher know about all this?”

“Mr. Bentley couldn’t bear to let him know.”

Barry hesitated for a moment, offering only this explanation.

I thought the reasons were not that simple, but I couldn’t press further.

Not to mention Bentley, but I felt sorry for Christopher.

“He lost his mother at a young age, and he was eager to repay Brenda for saving him, but Brenda may have never truly

cared for him.”

“What about Evelyn?”

‘Does she know all this?”

I dared not dwell on it further.

But the next moment, I felt it was beyond my control.

At least Christopher genuinely liked Evelyn.

“Brenda raised Evelyn; her thoughts are definitely not simple.”

Bentley sighed. “So, I strongly opposed Chris marrying her at first. Now that he has such a good wife like you, I’m even more reluctant for him to marry Evelyn…

He paused for a moment, then almost pleadingly said, “Hope, can you postpone the divorce?”

“Bentley……

“Rest assured, I just hope you delay it.

Bentley said knowingly, “After my 80th birthday, if that boy still can’t satisfy you, and you still want to divorce him, I won’t persuade you anymore.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Chapter 29 Let Her Bear All the Consequences

I didn’t hesitate and agreed directly. Since I married into the Valence family, Bentley has always shown me love, never made any demands on me, and never allowed anyone to trouble me.

Now that he had spoken to this extent, I had no reason to refuse.

Christopher and I were already separated. Divorce was just a way to make our relationship clearer.

I wasn’t in a rush to divorce him.

Besides, Bentley’s 80th birthday was just a month away, and it was coming soon.

Later, Barry accompanied me out of the study.

“Mr. Bentley did this because he was afraid that you and Mr. Christopher would regret it in the future, so he wanted

you to think it over for a while.”

I pursed my lips slightly, about to speak, when my phone rang, showing an unfamiliar landline number.

“Hello, are you Elissa’s relative?”

“Yes.”

“This is Jacquar Police Department; please come over as soon as possible.”

Startled, before I could ask anything, the call was disconnected.

Without thinking about anything else, I hurried downstairs. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Evelyn in a

rage.

“You are simply too much!” She said, raising her hand to slap me, but I stopped her.

My mind was focused on Elissa’s situation, not on her. “Move aside!” I pushed away her wrist and walked away quickly.

I didn’t know what had happened to Elissa, and I was very worried on my way to the police station.

And the familiar black Maybach had been following my car, making me very annoyed.

What is Christopher doing now?

Did he follow me to avenge Evelyn even after her from slapping me?

I

While waiting at a red light, I called him. “Why have you been following me?”

A woman’s mocking laughter came from the phone.

“Hope, don’t flatter yourself.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

It was Evelyn’s soft and gentle voice. “Chris is worried about me, so he wants to accompany me to the police station; it has nothing to do with you.”

Chapter 29 Let Her Bear All the Consequences.

Once again, I felt disappointed.

1 hesitated as if she had slapped me hard again.

Yes, she was right.

Not only did I overestimate myself this time, but I had been infatuated for the past three years.

As I arrived at the police station, even before entering, I knew what had happened to Elissa and why Evelyn had come to the police station late at night.

The Panamera, parked in front of the Valence Group without a license plate yet, had been severely damaged, almost turning into scrap metal.

Inside the police station, an officer led me to see Elissa,

The usually vibrant and charming girl was now sitting alone in a comer, her delicate wrist supporting her chin, looking indifferent, and I couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

Upon hearing footsteps, she turned her head, and upon seeing me, she immediately smiled brightly.

I approached her with heartache and pointed outside, “Did you do this?”

“She has already confessed.”

Before Elissa could speak, the officer said without emotion.

I poked her forehead. “Impulse is a terrible thing.”

“In any case, I must help you vent this emotion.” Elissa stood up calmly, seeking my help. “My leg is numb, Hope, please support me.”

I found it a bit amusing, so I went forward to help her.

Before I could say anything, Evelyn, in high heels, walked up quickly.

“Who you are, daring to smash my car?!” She pointed down at Elissa.

Elissa didn’t respond to her at all, Clapping her hands, she boasted, “Your Panamera is gone!”

“Elissa, right? This time, I will make sure you bear all the consequences!”

Evelyn stomped her foot, then turned around and saw Christopher, dressed in a black trench coat, stepping in.

She said, “Chris, hurry and give her a lesson; they are so audacious as to bully me!”
