Chapter 1303

Mary looked at Vik expressionlessly. "Of course. He was ready to make you pay for Brian's leg. Do you still see him as your father?"

Vik's expression shifted. After a long pause, he finally spoke. "But... he used to treat us well..."

Although Vik had been deeply disappointed when he discovered that Edward was willing to sacrifice his leg for Brian's, he still couldn't bring himself to harm his father.

Mary let out a cold laugh. "He did treat us well in the past, but didn't we treat him well, too?"

She had been with Edward since she was 20, willingly playing the role of the woman he kept outside his marriage. She had once believed that Edward truly loved her.

But today, she had come to a painful realization: no matter what, she and Vik would never compare to Brian and Emerald in Edward's heart.

Even after Emerald and Brian drugged him and nearly killed him, Edward had chosen to stand by them. If that were the case, then Mary wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless either.

Vik couldn't argue with her words, but he couldn't bear to watch his mother poison his father.
