Chapter 515 The Painful Truth
“Your parents’ demise was no accident but a scheme orchestrated by Aunt Charisa.”
Zachary lit a cigarette indifferently outside the hospital. “Aunt Charisa doesn’t make enemies.
for no reason,” he told Damien.
After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, he exhaled smoke, then met Damien’s intense gaze. He continued, “She once told me her only regret was not thoroughly verifying the information.”
“She inadvertently caused Hansen’s wife to be buried alongside him.”
“On that fateful day, her sole intention was to eliminate Hansen.”
Damien sat rigidly on the bench, his fists clenched tightly.
He stared frigidly at Zachary and snarled, “I don’t recall my father having any disputes with the. Miles or the Tanner family!”
“He had a bone to pick with Aunt Charisa.”
Zachary closed his eyes and sighed. “You must have heard.”
“Once she took on the title of Mrs. Miles, her foremost objective was to eradicate the men who had once disrespected her methodically.”
Damien’s face went pale as Zachary continued. “Your father was one of them.”
His words were like a sledgehammer that struck Damien’s heart.
He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, and seethed, “You’re lying!”
“Neither you nor me determine the truth.”
“Those men from the past are all dead now.”
“Only Aunt Charisa knows the truth about what transpired back then.”
“If unsure, ask your grandfather whether your father traveled to Europe nineteen years ago in May.”
Damien gritted his teeth.
Nineteen years ago, he was seven.
He was old enough to remember..
1/3
He vividly remembered that his father went to Europe in May of the year he turned seven.
It was said that Dad went to Europe to bring Uncle Raymond back, who was idling and not taking life seriously.
But…
Damien couldn’t fathom its true connection to the incident despite his journey to Europe.
He clenched his jaw tightly and vehemently dismissed the idea.
He didn’t believe it!
He steadfastly clung to the memory of his parents’ harmonious relationship.
No way…
How could it be…
An invisible hand seemed to twist his heart, causing unbearable pain.
“She’s awake!”
The emergency room door swung open, and the nurse rushed out and announced excitedly, “They’re all alive!”
“All three of them are alive!”
Zachary sprung to his feet, rushed over to where Cherise and Charisa were being wheeled out, and exclaimed, “Thank god!”
Damien couldn’t shake the sense of mockery underlying Zachary’s exuberant tone.
The last one to be wheeled out was Macve.
Damien rose from his seat, his attention shifting between Cherise, Charisa, and the Tanner and Miles families surrounding them. He then fixated on the empty space next to Maeve./
He sighed, walked over slowly, and took Maeve’s hand.
“Sister.”
Maeve was so weak that she could barely speak.
As Damien walked toward her, tears welled up
It seemed her brother truly understood her!
“I know everything now.”
in her eyes.

Damien closed his eyes, and his voice trembled.
But even with his eyes closed, Maeve could see the pain etched on his face.
“Charisa… is the murderer who took the lives of Dad and Mom.”
But Charisa was Cherise’s biological mother.
Cherise recently pledged to care for and dutifully attend to her mom.
Maeve pursed her lips, held Damien’s hand, and asked, “Do you still want to be with Cherise?”
