Brennan , are these … all letters written by Marlene to you ? How could she be so shameless and disregard ethical norms ! You are her uncle , after all . Despite the blood relation , you have raised her single handedly , and she should respect you like she would respect her father ! She was really spoiled by you . If this continues , I think she will have the audacity to commit even worse and irreparable actions ! She shed a few tears , and took out her phone to open the WhatsApp page . Brennan , look , these are the words Marlene said to me today ! Look how unreasonable she is ! You really cant continue to indulge her , and you cant let her continue to depend on you like this . Continuing like this will only harm her ! Brennan took the phone and the screen displayed the WhatsApp chat interface of Brittany and Marlene . The chat content was different from what was in Marlenes phone , but Brittany didnt know that Marlene had left her phone behind , and it was right in his hands . Brennan suddenly understood everything , it turned out that the chat pages Brittany had shown him before were all fake ! It was a play she wrote and performed herself ! She actually created an account with the same profile picture and WhatsApp name as Marlenes ! She was the one who slandered him , that little girl ! She was the one who caused their relationship to fall apart like this ! At this thought , Brennan became furious and could no longer control the anger within him ! He swung his arm and slapped Brittanys right cheek heavily , causing her face to visibly swell up . She covered her face , full of disbelief , and her voice trembled . Brennan , you hit me just because I said a few words about Marlene ? What did she do to make you blind to her true nature ? Brennan cursed and tightly gripped her neck with one hand , Damn bitch , you still talk back even Chapter 9 1/3 now ! Show me what all this is ! Brittany struggled desperately and coughed violently a few times , saying , What are you saying ? I dont understand . Brennans hostility grew stronger , and he exerted more force with his hands . He handed Marlenes phone to her with his other hand and said , Now you cant see clearly , can you ? Lets see how you can still argue ! Brittany was dumbfounded , trembling in fear . Brennan , I was wrong ! I did what I did because I loved you so much and was afraid of losing you ! Please , spare me this time . I truly loved you too much ! I will definitely treat Marlene well in the future . Please , trust me once again !
