Chapter 16 But Kyler no longer wanted to believe a word she said , nor did he even want to spare her another glance . He completely denied her words , saying , " I can't believe I ever trusted someone like you . If you hadn't repeatedly framed Lia , how would I have ended up with her today ? " " Emily , people like you truly disgust me . " Kyler's blunt words of disgust left Emily sitting dazed on the floor , motionless for a long time . The meaning behind his words stunned her , or perhaps it was because all her last shreds of dignity had been torn away. She stared fixedly at Kyler , making him feel uneasy under her gaze . As he turned to leave , Emily forced herself to stand despite the pain , wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes , and looked at them with nothing but resentment and mockery in her eyes . " Kyler , you say I'm malicious , but do you really think you're any better ? " She then looked at Hayden , Melanie , and Matthew , seeing the disappointment and disgust in their eyes .. " You are selfish , foolish , pitiful , and laughable . " " Now that I think about it , Amelia was truly pitiful . She got into that car accident to save you , and ended up in a coma for five years . Yet in those five years , none of you felt any guilt or gratitude . Instead , you adopted me , just because I resembled her a little . " " Isn't what you did ridiculous ? " She looked at Kyler with a mocking smile . " You speak as if you're full of deep feelings now , but tell me , have you ever truly loved Amelia ? " Chapter 16 " You grew up together as childhood friends , but after I appeared , in just two short years , you fell in love with me , obeyed my every word , and humiliated Amelia in every way . Is this what you call deep affection ? " " The reason you're so angry now , the reason you hate me so much , isn't because of your love for Amelia . It's just that you can't accept the reality . that you killed her , so you want to put all the blame on me to ease your guilt . " " Everything you've done isn't for Amelia at all . You just want to find . peace of mind for yourself . " Emily shifted her gaze to Matthew , who was standing nearby . " You're just as selfish and hypocritical , and utterly foolish . " " Amelia was your own sister , living with you for more than twenty years . Don't you know her character by now ? Yet you threw away all those years of sibling affection and instead showered me with concern . I should thank you for your clever plan - if you hadn't come up with the idea of faking death to torment Amelia , she wouldn't have died so quickly and so completely . " " And we've lived together for five years . Did you really not know what I did to Amelia ? Was it truly ignorance , or just unwillingness to know ? You know best . " " My methods weren't even clever , they were clumsy , but you still let me fool you again and again . " " If you had truly treated Amelia as your sister , cared for her even a little , I could never have done all those things right under everyone's nose . " She burst into a manic laugh , the sound chilling to the bone . " My dear brother , you control the Ackrea family . What truth can't you uncover ? And you say I hurt her ? That's even more ridiculous . I never hit Chapter 16 her , nor did I ever harm her . " " It was you who , because of a few words from me , drove into her , you who put her in the oven ; you who pushed her off the rooftop ; and you who found people in the hospital who almost assaulted her . " " All the suffering she endured was never inflicted by me - it was you , all of you , who tormented her until she wished she were dead . Even when she was dying of cancer , she couldn't wait to use suicide to escape from you . " Yes , I'm malicious , I intended to kill , but none of you are innocent . Amelia wasn't killed by me alone - you are all murderers . " Every word she spoke was like a sharp blade , piercing straight through their hearts and leaving them breathless . Emily still had no intention of letting them go . Her gaze swept over each of them , lingering on their faces . " We killed Amelia together . We're all murderers . None of you are innocent . " Even as Emily was dragged into the basement , she continued to curse at them ! But soon , a bodyguard covered her mouth . cry and The entire room fell into a deathly silence . No one made a sound ; the four of them sat in silence , lost in thought . Emily's words echoed in each of their minds . Melanie fainted from anger over the incident , and the whole Ackrea family was thrown into chaos . Kyler couldn't remember how he got home . In a daze , he walked into the garden and told the servants working there to leave . Chapter 16 Looking at the lilies growing in the garden , Amelia's appeared before his eyes . imagenly They were childhood friends , when Amelia was young , she loved coming over to his house to play . Back then , there weren't any flowers planted in the yard , and it looked bare . That jasmine plant was brought by Amelia , and they planted it together with their own hands . A gift of jasmine for you , may we never part . Every year , on Amelia's birthday , he would give her a bouquet of jasmine . This year , the jasmine bloomed right on time as always . But things had changed , and people were gone . Just like Amelia back then - whenever she looked at him , her eyes always sparkled , like a summer night filled with starlight . But now , she was gone from this place forever . Kyler's gaze swept over every blade of grass and tree in the yard . Only at this moment did he suddenly realize how many memories of Amelia he had buried deep within himself . Every smile and every frown of hers was deeply etched in his mind . He opened his mouth , but no sound came out . His throat felt unbearably tight .
