Chapter 299

Sure enough, Jennifer sighed heavily. There was an additional hint of derision in her voice when she next spoke. "Over the generations, the Scott-Tutton Family has had a long history where only one son is produced in each generation. Forget having any children, Uncle George was not even married then. Therefore, the incident was a huge shock to the entire family. Although Uncle George's drunk driving caused the car accident, they simply refused to accept the truth. At the time, both the Grant Family and the Olsen Family expressed sympathy for the situation and provided significant compensation to the Scott-Tutton Family after the incident. However, the Scott-Tutton Family firmly believed that Khalid Olsen and Connor Grant were the ones who caused Uncle George's death. That was the reason behind their bitter falling out with the Grant Family and the Olsen Family."

Eddie's cloudy eyes shifted uncomfortably, but he did not make a sound.

He never imagined that such an incident caused the feud between the Scott-Tutton Family and the Olsen Family.

"Uncle George was actually the only one at fault in this entire incident. If he had not been driving drunk, then the car accident would never have occurred in the first place. Besides, Khalid and Connor also suffered from varying degrees of injuries from the car accident, even though they were lucky enough to survive. Be that as it may, the Scott-Tutton Family refused to accept the truth and stubbornly pushed the blame for Uncle George's death on them. Tell me, Eddie… Was it right for the Scott-Tutton Family to do that?"

He did not answer but naturally understood that the Scott-Tutton Family was at fault.

Jennifer did not seem to have expected an answer from him and only paused for a few seconds before she continued with the story, "Although the Scott-Tutton Family and the Olsen Family were at odds with each other, one's feelings are not something that one can control at will. Darren and I were in love, and our relationship had nothing to do with the family's grievances. Unfortunately, the Scott-Tutton Family used any means possible to prevent the marriage between Darren and me due to their hatred toward the Olsen Family. In the beginning, I heeded their wishes and even thought about breaking up with Darren for some time. However, we were reluctant to part with each other after experiencing countless ups and downs throughout our relationship. Ultimately, I had no other option but to leave the Scott-Tutton Family temporarily. I originally thought they would relent and give us their blessings after some time. Who could have imagined… When I decided to marry Darren and returned to inform them about our engagement, they continued to disapprove vehemently of the marriage. In fact, they even…"

At this point, she fell silent and clenched her fingers tightly into a fist on her lap.

"Even what? What did they do?" Eddie probed anxiously. He instinctively felt that something was going to change, but he was determined to learn the truth behind this matter.

After some time, Jennifer seemed to overcome some sort of mental obstacle and regained her composure.
