Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 157

Zachary, overcome with emotion, sighed and stated, "I'm the one who truly doesn't understand. Initially, I assumed your relationship with Samuel wasn't irreversible. You should have raised your social standing after marrying into the Brady family. You know how many people envy you, but you gave up so quickly... Now I think I'm the foolish one. I didn't even properly raise my own son, and now he wants to kill me and take my

power..."

"Uncle Zachary, nothing has been determined. Please don't overthink. What if-" Viola comforted.

"No if. The only one who truly gains is him. Who would take such a huge risk to do something like this?" Zachary interrupted.

After hearing his words, Viola fell silent. She couldn't think of a way to comfort Zachary. That was a pleasant day. She understood that even if he appeared calm after the incident, he would still be upset within.

"My godson has teamed up with my nephew to poison me, and the true mastermind is my own son... Alas, I'm old now. Sometimes, I would ponder if what I had done in the past was wrong." Zachary spoke, his voice wavering. He could now unload his strong disguise in front of a trustworthy person. Indeed, he had experienced many ups and downs, but he should have been able to enjoy his twilight years at his age. However, someone simply didn't want him to live, and it was his closest family. His life could be considered a failure. "You've done nothing wrong. Others were wrong. Why should you punish yourself for someone else's mistakes? That's the stupidest idea," Selina said, leaving Zachary and Viola stunned. She added calmly, "You don't have to look at me like that. You bestowed. money and privileges on your son over countless others while also providing bountiful resources to your godson and nephew. In the end, they want to murder you. This is his fault. He's too greedy. It has nothing to do with you."

Viola sighed gently and said, "She's right. Uncle Zachary, don't blame yourself for others' mistakes. You've done enough."

Zachary closed his eyes briefly and stated, "I think they'll behave themselves after this. Anyway, girl, you saved my life today. I'd want to officially welcome you as my adopted granddaughter. Will you accept it? I'm no match for the Brady family in Sokovis, but my words still carry a lot of weight. I don't expect you to serve me filially, but I'll offer you prestige and be your backer."

That was also the reason Viola brought Selina there that day, which Zachary knew about
