Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter 149

Third–person POV

Amber’s frustration simmered as Mary’s pretense only fueled her anger.

“Spare me the theatrics, Mary,” Amber scoffed, her voice strained with irritation. “I know the truth. For whatever sick reason, you lied to me about Angela being my sister, but I know now that my sister’s name was Diane, and I’m certain that you had something to do with her death.”

Mary stared at Amber, a hint of surprise mingling with the amusement that danced in her eyes. She let out a sigh, a pang of resignation laced in her voice. “And who, may I ask, told you all this?” she inquired, her voice laced with skepticism.

Amber crossed her arms tightly across her chest, refusing to say anything to Mary for now. “It doesn’t matter who told me, Mary,” she responded. “What matters is that you come clean and tell me the truth. Did you have a hand in Diane’s death? Did you kill my sister?”

Mary’s amusement turned into a tired resignation as she ran a hand through her hair. She met Amber’s gaze, weariness mirrored in her eyes. “Do you really think you can get a confession out of me, Amber? You’re trying to set me up, or something?” she asked. “Diane has been dead for years, and as far as I’m concerned, that little child chose to end her own life by jumping down from a building. The poor thing.”

Emotions threatened to consume her, but she fought to maintain her composure. “Don’t you dare trivialize her death,” she hissed, her voice trembling with anger. “Diane was my sister, but you lied to me about someone else being my sister just to mess with me. Why didn’t you just tell me about Diane? Why lie about Angela, who has

nothing to do with me?”

Mary’s expression remained unchanged. She shrugged, an air of nonchalance wafting through her words. “For starters, Angela and Diane grew up together, so I thought it’d be fun to watch you think your sister tried to kill you,” she admitted. “I must admit, I’m surprised you found out about Diane so quickly. Now, I’m curious, Amber. Who informed you about her?”

Amber let out a long sigh before responding, her brow furrowing with curiosity.” Why are you so curious to know who told me about her? What’s it to you?” she

asked.

Mary hesitated for a moment, her eyes searching Amber’s face, before

responding. “I’m asking because… well, I have this strong feeling that your father, my dear Martin, was the one who told you,” she said. “As far as I know, Martin is the only one who could tell you about Diane. He was the only one, besides me, who knew the whole truth.”

“So my father knew about Diane too?” Amber asked, pretending to be surprised.

Mary nodded. “Yes, Amber. Martin knew about Diane. In fact, he was the one who called the authorities after she jumped off the building,” she revealed.

Amber’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening in disbelief at the revelation, and her mind spun as Mary’s words sank in. Her father had been present when
