Chapter 413 The End of the Illusion

+10 Free Calls

Bodger had once promised he’d always protect Mathilda, make up for the years she’d lost, never let her suffer again. But today, he’d slapped her–for Lily.

Even Bodger himself was stunned by what he’d done.

He hadn’t meant to raise his hand against the little sister he felt so guilty toward. But even now, even in his shock, he felt no regret.

The video was proof enough. It had been Randy who gave the order.

And Bodger knew better than anyone just how loyal Randy was to Mathilda. There was no way she wasn’t involved.

“Mathilda,” he said, voice tight and trembling, “you told us you saw Lily as your real sister. You swore you would never hurt her. So why… why would you have those monsters sell her into the mountains?”

“I didn’t…”

The sharp accusation snapped Mathilda out of her daze.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her voice, raw and broken, barely came out.

She stared at Bodger like her heart had shattered. “You hit me…”

“That slap really hurt…”

She turned, seeking sympathy–turned to Taylor, to Mergan, the brothers who had always cherished her.

Surely they’d defend her now, stop Bodger, scold him for going too far.

But they didn’t.

She found no pity in their eyes–only seething disappointment.
