Chapter 15 But Ethan no longer believed a word she said . He didn't even spare her a glance . He dismissed her entirely . " I can't believe I ever trusted someone like you . If it weren't for your endless schemes against Olivia , how would we have ended up like this today ? " " Lillian , you disgust me . " The bluntness of his rejection left her frozen on the ground , too stunned to move . His words hit harder than a slap . His words stunned her . Or maybe she finally realized that the last shred of illusion had been torn away . She stared at Ethan until he started to fidget under her gaze . Just as he turned to leave , she forced herself to her feet despite the pain , wiped her tears , and looked at them , her eyes now filled with hatred and mockery . " Ethan , you say I'm malicious , but what about you ? Are you really any better ? " Then she turned to Victor , Catherine , and Sebastian , and saw the same disappointment and disgust in their eyes . " You're all selfish and blind . Pathetic , really . " She let out a bitter laugh . " Now that I think about it , Olivia was the one who had it worst . She got into that car accident trying to save you all . She spent five years in a coma , and what did you do ? You felt no guilt , no gratitude . Instead , you brought home a girl who looked vaguely like her - me . ' " Don't you see how ridiculous that is ? " She turned her biting tone back to Ethan . " You talk about love and devotion now , but tell me - were you ever truly in love with her ? " " You two were childhood sweethearts , grew up together , and yet all it took was two years with me for you to fall head over heels - spoiling me , humiliating her . Is that your idea of devotion ? " " You're angry and you l you hate me now not because you truly loved Olivia , but because you can't stomach the fact that you were the one who helped destroy her . So you dump all the blame on me just to ease your guilt . " th " Everything you're doing now - it's not for Olivia . It's just to make yourself feel better .

Selfish , hypocritical , and stupid . " " Olivia was your sister for over twenty years . You lived with her , grew up with her . Don't you know what kind of person she was ? But you tossed all those years of sibling love aside and doted on me instead . " " I should thank you , really . Without your brilliant plan to fake our deaths torture her into silence , she wouldn't have died so quickly , so completely . " " We lived under the same roof for five years . Are you sure you didn't know what I was doing to her ? Truly didn't know - or just didn't want to know ? You , more than anyone , knew the truth . " " My tricks weren't even that clever - downright crude at times . But you still fell for them . " " If you'd treated Olivia like your real sister , if you'd cared even a little , I wouldn't have gotten away with everything I did right under your noses . " She burst out laughing , a sharp , chilling sound that cut through the silence . " My dear brother , you control the entire Sinclair family . What secret could possibly be hidden from you ? " " And you say I hurt her ? That's rich . I never laid a hand on her . I never even beat her . " " It was you who ran her over because of something I said . You who put her in the oven . You who pushed her off the rooftop . You who hired those men to assault her in the hospital . " " She didn't suffer because of me . It was all of you . You made her life a living hell . Even as she was dying of cancer , she still had to escape through suicide just to get away from you all . " " You call me wicked . A murderer . But none of you are innocent . " " Olivia didn't die by my hand alone . Every single one of you is guilty . " Each sentence pierced like a blade , stabbing straight into their hearts and leaving them breathless . But Lillian wasn't done . Her gaze swept across the room , locking eyes with each of them . " We killed Olivia together . All of us . None of you are innocent .

But soon a bodyguard clamped a hand over her mouth , muffling her cries . And then there was silence . Dead , suffocating silence . No one in the room said a word . Her accusations echoed in their minds like thunder . Catherine fainted from shock , throwing the entire Sinclair estate into chaos . Ethan didn't even remember how he got home . In a daze , he wandered out into the garden and dismissed the staff working among the flowers . As he looked at the jasmine blooming in the garden , an image of Olivia suddenly floated into his mind . She had been his childhood friend . As a little girl , she loved coming to his house to play . Back then , the garden had been bare - no color , no life . It was Olivia who'd brought the jasmine plant . They had planted it together , their hands in the soil . " A jasmine for you , so we'll never be apart . Every year , on her birthday , he would bring her a fresh bouquet of jasmine . This year , the flowers had bloomed on time as always . But she was gone . Just like that little girl with stars in her eyes , the one who used to look at him with a gaze that shimmered like summer constellations . Now she had left this world for good . Ethan stood in silence , his eyes drifting across the courtyard , taking in every blade of grass , every leaf . And only then did he realize how much he had buried and how many memories of Olivia he had locked away deep in his heart . Her every smile , every expression , had been carved into his soul .
