He Bought Her Heart, Then Destroyed It novel Chapter 15

She couldn't figure out what was going on with him, but suddenly, something clicked in her mind, and her eyes turned malicious.

"I get it now! It must be Heather! Did she tell you something?"

"Brother-in-law, how could you believe her? She betrayed you! She never loved you!"

"Back when you were kidnapped, I was the one who saved you, and she was the first to abandon you..."

She had intended to use this as a trump card, but it backfired.

She shouldn't have mentioned it at all, but once she did, it made him furious.

James felt disgusted.

How dare she? How could she even say this?

His eyes turned blood-red, and he raised his hand, striking her face with a punch.

"Helen, you’re asking for death!"

The punch landed squarely on Helen’s nose, and she screamed in panic, stumbling to the ground, unable to even cry.

"Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you…?"

Had he taken the wrong medicine? Why was he treating her like this?

James remained silent, watching her, and Helen crawled to his feet, gazing up at him with tear-filled eyes.

"Brother-in-law, what did Heather tell you? Tell me... Whatever she said, I can explain! Don’t believe her!"

At this point, she was still distorting the truth.

James was surprisingly calm now, and even felt a bit of amusement.

How could he have been deceived by such a hypocritical and malicious woman for so many years? How many things had he done to hurt Heather because of her?

Heather, his Heather...

Just thinking of her name made his heart ache like a knife.

He closed his eyes in despair, and when he opened them again, all emotions were gone, replaced with cruelty.

"Helen, I’ll give you one last chance."

"Since you’re her sister, confess everything you’ve done to her over the years, and I’ll let you die a quick death. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

Helen didn’t know how much of his threat was real, but how could she dare to admit everything now? Admitting it would be a death sentence!

She decided to take the risk.

"Brother-in-law, how could I deceive you? I risked my life to save you..."

James's last shred of reason vanished, leaving only bloodthirsty cruelty.

She truly never changed.

"Was it really you who saved me from the kidnappers all those years ago?"

Helen froze.
