Chapter 15 忻 But Aurelian no longer wanted to believe even one word she said . He wouldn't even look at her anymore , completely rejecting everything . " I can't believe I ever trusted someone like you . If you hadn't kept framing Celia , how would she and I have ended up like this ? " " Raya , you make me sick . " His blunt disgust left Raya sitting frozen on the floor , unable to move for a long time . The meaning behind his words made her pause , or perhaps because all pretenses had been stripped away , she stared at Aurelian intently until he grew uncomfortable . As he turned to leave , Raya endured the pain and stood up , wiping away her tears . The look she gave them now held only hatred and mockery . " Aurelian , you call me vicious - do you think you're any better ? " She turned to Conrad , Millicent , and Silas , seeing the disgust and disappointment in their eyes . " You're all selfish , stupid , pathetic , and ridiculous . " " Come to think of it , Celia really was pitiful . She got in that car accident trying to save you , spent five felt no guilt or gratitude - instead you adopted me because I resembled her . " " Isn't that absolutely laughable ? " years a coma , but during those five years you She looked mockingly at Aurelian . " What you're saying now sounds so devoted , but really ? Search your heart - were you ever truly devoted to Celia ? " " Childhood sweethearts who grew up together , but after I appeared for just two years , you fell in love with me . You bent over backwards for me while humiliating Celia at every turn . Is that your idea of devotion ? " " You're angry now , you hate me , but it's not because of your deep feelings for Celia . It's because you can't accept the reality that you killed her . You want to push all the blame onto me to ease your own guilt . " " Nothing you're doing is for Celia - you just want peace of mind . " Raya shifted her gaze to Silas . " You're just as selfish , hypocritical , and incredibly stupid . " " Celia was your sister for over twenty years - didn't you know her character ? But you threw away decades of sibling bond to fuss over me instead . I should thank you for that brilliant fake death scheme - without your idea to torment Celia that way , she wouldn't have died so quickly and completely . " " And after living together for five years , did you really not know what I was doing to Celia ? Were you truly ignorant , or did you just choose not to know ? You know the answer . " " My methods weren't even clever - they were clumsy . But you still fell for every trick . " " If you'd truly treated Celia as your sister , shown her even the slightest care , I never could have done any of this right under everyone's noses . " She laughed maniacally , the sound chilling . " My dear brother , you control the Fairborne empire - what truth couldn't you uncover ? And you say I hurt her ? That's even more ridiculous . I never laid a hand on her , never physically harmed her . " " You were the ones who ran her down with a car because of my words . You put her in that oven , pushed her off the roof , arranged for those men to assault her in the hospital . " " All the suffering she endured was never inflicted by me - it was you . You tortured her until she wanted to die , and even when cancer was killing her , she was so desperate to escape you that she chose suicide . " 23.59 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ? Now Pray She Can Save You from Hell 66.7 % Chapter 15 " I'm vicious , I'm a murderer , but you're not innocent either . I didn't kill Celia alone - you're all murderers . " Each word pierced their hearts like a sword , making them gasp for air . Raya wasn't done with them yet . Her gaze bore into each person , scanning their faces . " We killed Celia together . We're all murderers . Not one of you is innocent . " Even as the bodyguards dragged Raya down to the basement , she was still screaming curses at them . But soon they muffled her cries . The entire room fell into deathly silence . The four of them sat in stillness , lost in their own thoughts . Raya's words echoed in each of their minds . Millicent fainted from the shock , throwing the entire Fairborne household into chaos . Aurelian didn't remember how he got home . He wandered dazedly into the garden and dismissed the staff . Looking at the jasmine flowers planted there , Celia's image suddenly appeared before his eyes . They'd been childhood sweethearts . Little Celia used to love playing at his house . Back then the yard was bare , with no flowers at all . This jasmine plant was something Celia had brought over - they'd planted it together with their own hands . " Jasmine for you - may we never part . " Every year , he used to give Celia a bouquet of jasmine for her birthday . This year's jasmine bloomed right on schedule . But everything else had changed . Back then , when Celia looked at him , her eyes always sparkled like a summer night filled with stars . Now she was gone from this world forever . Aurelian's gaze swept over every plant and blade of grass in the yard . Only now did he realize how many memories of Celia lay buried deep in his mind . Every smile , every expression was etched into his heart . He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound , his throat painfully dry . ( 0 ) ( 0) 23.59
