Chapter 1770
Taya pushed away Brooks’s hand in disgust. “Thanks to you, she’s dead too.”
Sumasa starved to death on the streets of England, Rosalie ended up in the slums, and Taya became an orphan, all because of Brooks.
He caused the separation of the three of them, and they each went down a miserable path. Meanwhile, Brooks raised Tara to be a socialite and paved the way for her.
After recovering from his surprise, Brooks reached for Taya’s hand again. “How could she be dead? What happened?”
Taya pushed him away again, “Stop pretending to care about them and answer my question. Why did you help Sarah back then?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She knew how Sumasa was killed by Brooks, but she didn’t know why he helped Sumasa.
Did he know from the beginning that Sarah’s identity was Sumasa, and that she had a huge inheritance, which was why he did it?
Despite Taya’s attitude, Brooks didn’t get angry. Instead, he calmly studied Taya’s face. “I saw your mother walking the streets of England with a completely different face, and I felt sorry for her. So I brought her home, fed her, gave her a place to stay, and encouraged her to keep going.”
“Later, when my company was on the verge of bankruptcy, I met her at the airport. She had plastic surgery and I didn’t even recognize her. It was only when she told me that I realized she was the person I had helped.”
“To thank me, she gave me money to save my company, the Thorin Pack. I’m grateful to her, so I mated her, had a pup with her, and wanted to live a good life with her.”
Taya believed the first two, but not the last one. Because Sumasa had said in a video that Brooks only mated her for her money, and that the person he loved was his childhood friend Eliza. He had a family with her while also having a family with Eliza outside.
Brooks used her mother’s assets and abilities to make the Thorin Pack a giant, and then kicked Sumasa out, who had helped him, to the curb. He even bought a big ship and tricked her into taking a trip with her pup.
Then, on the ship, he pushed the three of them off. He didn’t need Sumasa anymore, and that was when Brooks tore off his mask of hypocrisy.
Brooks didn’t try to defend himself too much. He just stared at Taya’s face and couldn’t help but reach out to touch her. “Your mother’s original face was so beautiful…”
Sumasa had kept her past, identity, and appearance a secret from Brooks. Otherwise, when Taya first entered the Thorin Pack, he would have recognized her.
Taya stepped back to avoid Brooks’s touch, and the disgust and hatred in her eyes were clear.
Brooks saw it, but didn’t get angry. He just smiled. “By the way, I named you Elvira.”
He walked up to Taya and, as a father, patted her shoulder. “I wanted you to grow up in warmth, so I named you Elvira. But then…”
“Later, you got blinded by greed and selfishness, and you destroyed me,” Taya cut him off coldly, leaving Brooks speechless.
And he was unable to argue with the truth Taya had spoken.
As Brooks silently stared at Taya’s face, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. It was Tara calling.
Brooks saw the incoming call on the screen, avoided Taya’s gaze, and turned to answer the phone.
Tara immediately asked, “Dad, did you kill Taya?”
Brooks turned back to look at Taya, hesitated, and said, “Tara, she hasn’t done anything to harm you. Maybe we shouldn’t kill her…”
“Dad, what are you saying?” Tara was furious, standing up from the sofa.
“If it wasn’t for her, Griffon would have mated me a long time ago. She stole my sweetheart and even caused me to have plastic surgery. How can you spare her?”
