Chapter 15 Emily clung to Melanie's sleeve as if grasping at a lifeline . " Melanie , it wasn't me , you have to believe me . " Melanie looked at the item Matthew had handed her , the truth on it was shocking . " Emmy , did you really do all this ? " The only thing Emily could rely on in this family was their affection ; all she wanted was to cover up these matters . " No , Melanie , it really wasn't me . " Amelia is the one who slandered me , I truly didn't do any of it ! " A trace of hesitation flickered in Melanie's eyes , but Kyler gave no chance . for further explanation and kicked her hard in the chest . Emily crashed into the wall , feeling as if her chest had been shattered . " Even now , you still want to argue ?! " " I've already found out the truth about all of this ! " Melanie's hesitant hand withdrew , and the look she gave Emily was not longer filled with affection , but with dissatisfaction and even disappointment . Emily looked at them , knowing that everything was over . " What is the real truth behind all of this ?! " A chilling voice reached Emily's ears , making her shudder uncontrollably . Chapter 15 She no longer dared to hide anything , tears streaming down her face ast she sobbed , " I wanted to drive Amelia to her death , to take her place in the Ackrea family . " The weight in her heart finally lifted , but Kyler's eyes grew even redder . Gritting his teeth , he pressed on , " And what about everything else ? " She cried as she confessed everything , and with each word , his heart sank further . " It was all me , everything was done by me . " " Amelia never bullied me . Whether it was falling out the window or being assaulted , it was all fake , all orchestrated by me . I framed her for everything . " Emily dared not hide anything anymore , terrified that if she spoke too slowly , she would once again face the fear of death . She completely forgot to maintain her image , confessing everything one by one . Seeing their increasingly grim faces , her panic only grew . " But please listen to me , I did all of this because of you ! " After hearing all this , Melanie trembled with rage . " You say you did all this for us ? For us , you killed my own daughter ?! " Emily crawled over to Melanie , her tear - streaked face lifted in desperate defense . " I grew up in an orphanage . I was so happy to live with you all , I wanted all your attention , that's why I did these things . " " Besides , didn't you all dislike Amelia too ? " " Even if I hadn't framed her , Amelia would have died of cancer anyway . Can't we just pretend none of this ever happened ? " Chapter 15 " Can't we be like before ? Aren't we a family ? " Emily's words left everyone present stunned . Melanie could no longer control her emotions and broke down in tears . For the first time , she abandoned her composure , crying as she pointed at Emily . " I can't believe this is what you think . Even now , you show no sign of remorse . " " I truly regret it , regret ever adopting you , raising you into such a heartless person , letting you kill my own daughter . " Matthew scolded , " The Ackrea family gave you so much , and it still wasn't enough . How could you be so delusional ! " Emily turned her gaze to Kyler , " Kye , you like me , don't you ? I know I was wrong . I can apologize to them , I can apologize to Amelia , but I truly love you . " " You love me too , don't you ? " She thought this confession would move Kyler , but his expression didn't soften at all ; instead , it showed only disgust . " " Did I fall in love with you because of your lies and deliberate schemes ? " Kyler rebuked her , " It was all your lies that made me do those wrong things . A woman as malicious as you is truly repulsive . " The blatant disgust in Kyler's eyes pierced Emily's heart . At that moment , she cried sincerely , " No , Kyc , I really do love you ... And you love me too , don't you ? " The love he once professed to her had become her only lifeline now . Chapter 16
