Chapter 1226: 1228: The Truth Buried for Seven Years

Originally, I thought that by coming back, everything was just back to square one. Nobody understood how much Alan Morgan hated her better than she did.

But it wasn’t.

Alan Morgan’s current attitude was very strange.

Could it be that he no longer hated her?

How could that be possible?

"Shirley Grant, I’m asking you, when you left me seven years ago, was it for a reason you couldn’t share?"

Shirley Grant was stunned for a moment, raising her head slowly to look at Alan Morgan.

This man, like a towering tree, had his roots deeply embedded in her heart.

Shirley Grant sat there, her hands tightly clasped.

She had always remained silent about the events from seven years ago.

Now, being asked again, she found she still lacked the courage to speak out.

"Would you believe what I say?"

Would Alan Morgan choose to believe her, huh?

"I can try to believe."

Try to believe.

Shirley Grant sat there, her eyes looking towards the window.

"Seven years ago, your family found me and used very despicable means to threaten me, offering me a sum of money to leave you."

"And you just left like that?"

Alan Morgan suddenly shouted louder in anger.

What kind of reason is this, damn it?

If she liked him, why did she leave so easily?

Back then, his whole heart was devoted to her, almost to the point where he’d give her anything she wanted.

But what about her?

She just left like that.

Now she’s giving a reason, and it’s such a ridiculous one.

What the hell is this, damn it?

"Ridiculous, isn’t it?"

Shirley Grant turned her head to look at Alan Morgan, her eyes red.

"Seven years ago, I also thought it was ridiculous, but Alan Morgan, have you ever been in despair?"

Have you ever been betrayed by the whole world?

Your parents didn’t agree to us being together; have you ever thought about what it would be like if I shamelessly stayed by your side?

So dark, so endless.

"I didn’t expect the Morgan Family to stoop so low, cutting off my entire family’s financial path directly."

Yes, the entire family.

Anyone even slightly related to her was obstructed.

"Some were beaten and then accused, some were in accidents only for the perpetrators to flee, some lost their jobs, some had their stocks locked up, some lost everything gambling... "

"The point is, everyone who was harmed received an anonymous letter."

"As long as Shirley Grant left the Morgan Family, everything would be restored."

What a ridiculous statement.

But...

She was forced into a corner by the Grant Family, even her parents kicked her out of the house.

"Alan Morgan, I wanted to find you, but..."

"But your parents said, if I looked for you, you’d also be kicked out of the Morgan Family."

"Alan Morgan, I have to admit, I loved you deeply, how could I bear to watch you lose everything?"

You don’t belong to our social class; you should be proud, untouchable.

Listening to Shirley Grant’s words, which carried blood and tears, Alan Morgan’s eyes turned red too.

Seven years ago, she endured so much.

"Fool."

Alan Morgan reached out and pulled her into his arms, giving her this belated embrace.

After seven years, he held her, wanting to bring her back to that time.

If he had been a bit more attentive back then, he could have noticed Shirley Grant’s changes.

It was all his fault, letting them miss out on those seven years.

"After I broke up with you, I received a sum of money, and at that time everyone in my family demanded I give it up as compensation to them, and I was going to."

Because of this money, she felt disgusted.
