Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 372

As she let out a loud cry of pain, a red handprint appeared on Kelly's face. The force of the slap snapped her back to reality.

Kelly glared at Anastasia. She had no time to retaliate against Anastasia's slap. Besides, what was more important was Oliver.

Kelly glanced at Oliver, and her heart dropped when she met his furious gaze. But even at that point, she did not want to admit everything she had done.

Kelly struggled to break free from the bodyguard's grasp. She fell to the ground with a loud thud and knelt before Oliver, hurriedly explaining, "Grandpa, listen to me, it's not what you think."

"Then what is it?" From the video, it was clear that she had kicked the wheelchair with a lot of force. How else could she explain what everyone had just seen?

Oliver stared coldly at Kelly as if saying, "Let's see how you argue your way out of this."

Kelly bit her lip as she realized that she had lost all of Oliver's trust. But… she had put so much effort into planning all of this. There was no way she would give it all up now. But what was she to do?

Kelly's mind raced as she tried to think of an excuse. Everyone's eyes were on her. Kelly calmed herself and suddenly, she spoke firmly, "It's Rose!"

Rose? Her "excuse" stunned everyone, but it was also quite expected. Rose, who was being framed, also thought it was funny. It was Kelly's go-to trick to throw the blame on Rose. This time, Rose wanted to see how Kelly would blame it on her.

However, Oliver wasn't going to tolerate anyone defaming Rose. He suddenly stood up and slammed his cane on the ground repeatedly. He roared, "How dare you accuse Rose!"

With a loud snap, the cane struck Kelly's back. Kelly gritted her teeth from the pain as she cursed the old man silently.

She regretted not killing him when she kicked him off the bridge last time, and she hated that her plan hadn't succeeded this time. But for now, she could only suppress her hatred and pretend to be innocent.

"Grandpa, I was wrong. I'm not accusing Rose, I… I…" Kelly couldn't finish her sentence.

After a moment's hesitation, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "I was jealous of Rose, so I made a mistake..."

Then, Kelly put on a bitter smile and continued, "You and Rose hit it off immediately, and you took her in as your granddaughter. I am your biological daughter. We're related by blood, so I thought that you'd like me more. But that day, you wore the clothing she made for you…

"I was blinded by jealousy, so I hurt you. But afterward, I regretted it deeply. I was afraid... afraid that something might happen to you, but all I could do was pray silently every night, crying with regret..."

Kelly spoke earnestly, resembling an innocent girl who was led astray by jealousy and was now deeply remorseful.

But Rose didn't believe her for a moment. Back then, she suspected that Kelly had something to do with Oliver's accident. Now, she was even more convinced that Kelly had intended to remove his oxygen tube in the hospital.

How could Kelly regret kicking Oliver off the bridge? She clearly wished that Oliver had died there and then.
