Seeing that Lynn was not responding. Aubree continued, “As far as I understand, you, Mr. Morgan, and the elders at home are all extremely strict, especially when it comes to your child.
“You mapped out Arthur’s entire future, deciding exactly what he should be doing at every stage of his life, with everything expected to meet your standards”
Lynn’s eyes flickered at Aubree’s words, and her gaze snapped toward her.
“In junior high school, Arthur was expected to score well to get into Rithol High School Coincidentally, that’s the school I currently attend, Aubree said, her tone relaxed and casual as if chatting with a friend.
Her words didn’t leave Lynn railed. Where on earth did this girl learn all this? These are strictly our family matters. How did an outsider possibly know them in such detail” Lynn thought
In actual fact. Aubree was only guessing and piecing things together based on what she already knew. Families like the Morgans would always want their children to be the best…
When it came to getting into high school, from junior high, Rathol High School was the top choice. That was obvious. Lynn’s expression also confirmed what Aubree had aid.
“He started to rebel, to slip out of your control. In your eyes, he was a flawed program. If there was an error, it had to be corrected. If it couldn’t be corrected, it had to be ensed
“The child you’re carrying now gave you an opportunity, a choice,” Aubree said. Lynn held her belly protectively, her expression full of caution, hearing this
“But you couldn’t afford to raise both children, so you chose the second child, sacrificing Arthur. He spent years suffocating under that pressure: so what exactly did you do to him?
“Was it the constant pressure that drove Arthur to his breaking point?” Aubree pressed, studying every flicker of emotion on Lynn’s face.
Before Lynn could even catch her breath, Aubree cut in, “No, Arthur’s still a kid. All he wanted was to have a say in his own life. Deep down, he still loved his parents.
“But when you realized you couldn’t force him to jump on his own, you took matters into your own hands”
Lynn was stunned and broke down. Everyone believed Arthur had jumped on his own accord… she thought.
Aubree was shaken to her core. She thought this family had only pushed Arthur to his death; she never expected them to lay hands on him. ‘Parents like this. How sad! she thought
Aubree’s voice, without her realizing it, was laced with fury. “You pushed him of that building! Who did it You! Or Mr. Morgan?
“Was it him! Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs. You guys are worse than animals Aubree gritted her teeth and spat out the words, her anger barely contained.
The secret Lynn had buried deep in her heart was suddenly laid bare with such certainty. She was completely stunned on the spot and trembled for
long moment, unable to sitter a word.
Aubree cut her off before she could say a word. “Now, let me guess what exactly made you resort to such brutality,” she said.
“Right when you were hesitating over keeping your second child, Ronald appeared. What did he offer you a pile of cash?”
