Chapter400
That thunderstorm night, Alenia must have been really scared.
At that time, she called him for help, but he couldn’t get to her.
So, she actually saw her mom jump off the building with her
own eyes, then her dad locked her up at home for a whole night.
There was a thunderstorm, and the strong shock made her even
more scared, so she stopped talking.
Everyone disliked her for being mute, but no one ever tried to
find out why she couldn’t talk.
As for why she ended up at the Zavala family…
It was another sad topic.
Luckily, she met her grandma.
“Mr. McConnell, about your father–in–law…”
“Shut up, he didn’t deserve to be my father–in–law!”
Bethany’s adoptive mom was the one he pushed to jump off the
building.
Terrence held back his shaking anger and said through gritted
teeth, “He only had two or three months left. Spend some
money to get him out early and send him abroad, the farther
the better.”
Terrence was about to leave, and Kyson’s car showed up.
Bethany and Kyson got out of the car at the same time.
Kyson felt guilty toward Bethany. After Bethany asked him for
help to find her biological father, he had already started looking.
Luckily, he had a name, a photo, so it was easy to check. He
knew the guy lived in this prison, so he brought Bethany over.
When he saw Terrence, Kyson’s pupils immediately shrank.
Terrence would come here, it must also be for Bethany’s father.
He hurried over to Terrence and said angrily, “What did you
come here for?”
Bethany probably guessed Terrence’s purpose too. Maybe he
overheard her conversation with Kyson, then went to find her
dad.
Since he found it, he still wouldn’t tell her!
“Visited my father–in–law.”

“You’re really thick–skinned.”
Terrence didn’t argue much with Kyson, but just looked at
Bethany with deep eyes.
There was deep affection in his eyes. His voice trembled, “Beth,
that night of the Alenia storm, I…”
When that night was mentioned, Bethany’s emotions came
rushing back. She said in a low voice, “Don’t bring it up again!”
Right away, even she herself was surprised.
She actually said a sentence very fluently.
That night, she put all her hopes on him and called him for help.
In the end, he didn’t come.
Even bought a brooch for Krista at the airport.
“Beth, you could talk, you really could talk this time.”
Kyson looked really excited.
Bethany was still spacing out because her throat didn’t feel
uncomfortable either.
Suddenly, Bethany’s wrist was grabbed by a warm hand.

“I knew you didn’t want me to bring it up, but I had to tell you,
that night I got your call and went to Alenia.”
Bethany sneered, “Went to Alenia?”
“I knew you went to Alenia, I saw it on Twitter, you not only
came, but also bought all twenty–three swan brooches from the
boutique, and then gave them to Krista.”
The smile at the corner of Bethany’s mouth got colder,
“Terrence, you really knew how to pick the time, cutting my
heart to pieces with perfect accuracy.”
“It wasn’t like what you thought.”
“Wasn’t it what I thought?”
Bethany could talk now, and she could catch his words right
away. Unlike before, she couldn’t speak, and the words she
wanted to say just wouldn’t come out. If something else
happened after that, she might not even want to talk anymore.
