Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 367 367: You can't change what happened

"What do you think? Doesn't it look intentional?" Gabriel asked, studying Stefan's expression from the side.

They sat inside the hospital canteen, the air heavy with unspoken tension. Now that Uncle Marcus was out of danger, Gabriel knew it was time to tell Stefan the truth about the accident.

"Leon said the truck trailed Uncle's car for some time before speeding up and ramming into it," Gabriel revealed, sharing the details his assistant had uncovered.

Stefan's grip on his phone tightened, his knuckles turning white. His eyes burned with a seething rage so intense that Gabriel felt it pierce right through him.

He knew exactly what Stefan was thinking—who he wanted to blame—but without solid proof, they couldn't make accusations.

"I shouldn't have left him," Stefan growled, slamming his fist against the table. His chest heaved with barely contained fury.

If only he had been there with his father, things wouldn't have escalated this far.

"You can't change what happened, Stefan," Gabriel reasoned. "And what if the outcome would've been the same even if you were with him? What if the person behind this wanted both of you gone?"

Stefan clenched his jaw, his body rigid, but he didn't argue.

"We should be grateful Uncle Marcus is alive," Gabriel added firmly.

Stefan exhaled sharply, still overwhelmed by how quickly things had spiraled out of control. But deep down, he knew Gabriel was right. His father had survived. That was what mattered.

"I'm just worried about Mom," he admitted, leaning back in his chair. "She might act strong in front of everyone, but deep down, this is affecting her."

His mother had always been an unshakable force, standing tall against anything life threw at her. But his father was her one weakness. Seeing him fight for his life must have left a deep scar, even if she refused to show it.

"We need to cremate Uncle Jasper's body," Stefan said, his voice heavy with responsibility.
