Chapter 6 Chapter 6 With each word from the makeup artist , the hatred in Williams eyes grew deeper , now evolving into barely contained murderous intent . He clenched his jaw and pressed , What else did he say ? He said Miss Caroline had been violated before , that she was already impure , so he let his friends have their fun with her as they pleased . The body holding me trembled more and more , two tears falling onto the back of my hand , burning like fire . William clenched his fists , his crimson eyes fixed on the petrified Edward and Emily , saying word by word , If your ears dont work , then you dont need them . With a clang , Edward threw out a folding knife from his chest . The cold gleam reflected in Williams eyes , exposing his terror . Emily was so frightened that urine ran down her red ceremonial dress . Realizing William was serious , Edwards face turned pale as he desperately tried to defend himself , Uncle , its , its all a misunderstanding . You dont know , this Caroline killed someone before , she even went to prison . Dont be fooled by her fake innocence . Letting such a woman into the family would disgrace us . As Edward calmly slandered that past incident , I felt that I had wasted my sincere feelings on a beast . William wiped the tears from my eyes , patting my hand soothingly while staring intently at Edward , Edward , you say Carol killed someone wheres your evidence ? What weapon did she use ? Where was the victims fatal wound ? You say she was violated in prison , then tell me , who violated her ?! Caught off guard by Williams direct confrontation , Edward faltered , This … these records must be with the police . If Uncle wants to see them , I can have someone bring them over right away . As he moved to make a call , William shouted , Edward , you really have the nerve to make that call ? Dont you , as the person involved , know exactly what happened that graduation night ? You need to ask the police ? Or is it because you know Carol is innocent , and youre planning to bribe a fake police officer to falsely testify against her ?! Under Williams overwhelming presence , Edward was struck speechless . Emily stepped forward smugly , explaining , Uncle , you dont know , but I have surveillance video from that night as evidence , proving that this Caroline really did kill someone . Shut up ! You dare call me uncle ? Emily trembled violently at his fury , not daring to even blink . After berating Emily , William glared at Edward , Gone mute ? Speak ! Too afraid ? Then Ill speak for you . Looking at Edwards panicked face , I was transported back to graduation night . Edward threw the bloody hammer on the ground , looked at the motionless body , and instantly panicked . He knelt down begging me , saying he had cracked someones skull , that the family wouldnt forgive him , and the righteous William especially wouldnt forgive him . Crying , he grabbed my hand asking me to take the blame , promising he would change and swearing he would marry me after I got out of prison . I was soft hearted , worried about ruining his future , so I agreed . 19:32 His Scapegoat his Fiancée his Aunt Chapter 6 D Who knew that after I went to prison , he would forget all the promises he made to me . He took Emily to our secret garden , letting her uproot the cherry tree he had planted for me with his own hands . He went to the marriage temple where we had made our wishes , tore up the vow card that said he would be good to me forever , replacing it with one promising eternal love to Emily . He spread rumors everywhere that I was obsessively in love with him , that I wouldnt give up on him even after killing someone and going to prison , defaming my reputation . In just three years , Edward had changed from someone who once only had eyes and heart for me into this scum who only knew how to slander and ostracize me .
