You won't get a single cent from me , and I promise you this- -as long as I'm alive , neither you nor your family will ever find respectable work in Haroland again . " Murphy knew perfectly well that Evangeline did not love him . What she loved was his wealth and status . She did not want to live in obscurity ; she wanted to soar into a life of luxury and grandeur , to become a wealthy socialite surrounded by riches and indulgence . 1/2 Chapter 12 +25 Bonus For someone as vain as Evangeline , the harshest punishment was not death - it was a life of poverty and obscurity . He would ensure she would never attain the life she craved . Sure enough , as Murphy's words sank in , Evangeline collapsed to the floor and her face twisted in despair . She laughed hysterically , and when she spoke , her voice was filled with bitterness . " Murphy , do you think I'm the one who drove Gemma away ? No ! You're wrong ! At most , I fanned the flames , but the person who truly pushed her away was you ! " Completely consumed by desperation , Evangeline lost all restraint and pointed at Murphy as she screamed , " I'm insignificant to Gemma . She didn't care about anything I said or did . " Even when I shouted in her ear every day that you didn't love her or that you hated her and that you told her to get lost and stop being a nuisance , she was never hurt ! She sure as hell wouldn't have run away ! " The one who broke her heart and drove her to despair was you ! You deliberately ignored her . You paid me to provoke her and even held a grand wedding to humiliate her . Haha , Murphy Townsend , you're just a hypocrite in a suit! " You say you don't love Gemma , but you've been in love with her all along , haven't you ? You're just too afraid to admit it because of her status as your foster daughter . Murphy , you fell in love with your own foster daughter . How sick is that ? " You're not only sick , you're a coward ! Gemma had the courage to confess her feelings for you , but you ? You could only love her secretly , too scared to say it out loud . Instead , you did all these ridiculous things and ended up driving away the woman you love ! And she's about to die ! " Haha ! Murphy , you're a fool ! The biggest fool in the world ! " 仙 Support Share
