Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 458 Your Choice Matters

Patrick glared at Gary, slamming the table in anger. "What nonsense are you spouting?!

He was furious whether out of humiliation, provocation, or perhaps even guilt.

He might not have killed Helena directly, but he surely played a role in her death.

"Heh... Still won't admit it, Patrick?" Gary clenched his teeth as he glared at Patrick, the tension between them clashing like swords at each other's throats.

They locked eyes, as if a single spark would ignite an explosion, pushing them to the breaking point

"Gary, we are family, yet you and the others keep siding against me! I'm the only one holding everything together. Without me, this family would've fallen apart long ago! Have you all forgotten what happened when the Wagner Group was schemed against and besieged? Have you forgotten how they set Dad up, almost lost the bet, and nearly bankrupted the family? Have you forgotten how Mom died?"

Patrick pounded the table again, questioning Gary word by word. "Would this family be where it is today without me? You all enjoy the benefits it brings, yet you turn-against me!"

Gary frowned, looking at Patrick, thinking he had completely lost it...

"There were countless right ways to change our situation, but you-of all choices- chose the most ruthless one!" Gary's voice trembled as he confronted Patrick.

"The right way? When Mom was pregnant and those people drove her to the brink of a breakdown, forcing her into a fatal hemorrhage, did you call the police? The right way... Did those people ever receive the punishment they deserved?" Patrick sneered.

The Wagners lacked a strong background and faced restrictions in the business world back then. The industry was filled with predators, and without strong backing, they became easy prey.

Those beasts harassed Patrick's pregnant mother until she suffered a fatal hemorrhage, losing both her life. and the child's.

His father was too preoccupied with work to care for the family.

So it was Patrick, just a high school student at the time, who struggled to raise his younger siblings.

At the time, the Wagners did call the police, but it was useless. The punishment the law imposed on those people was far too lenient in Patrick's eyes.

The Wagners, lacking a strong family legacy, found themselves on the verge of ruin.
