Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 217

Liliana's ears perked up.

She had to admit, back when she was most infuriated by Linton's lack of boundaries with his adopted sister, she had entertained a similar, malicious thought: that Isabella might have intentionally harmed Matthew.

But the thought had been fleeting.

Liliana quickly chastised herself for harboring such a dark suspicion about someone else. You shouldn't judge without knowing the whole story.

Liliana and Helena were both daughters of prominent Crownport families. They were quite similar in that they had been raised in sheltered environments, coddled and protected by their families. They never had to confront the darker, crueler aspects of the world. Growing up in such a smooth, privileged way, their worlds had always been quite simple.

As a result, the greatest evil Liliana could imagine someone inflicting on another was what Isabella had done: being deliberately annoying, targeting someone, and trying to take everything they had. But that was all just petty squabbling, hardly rising to the level of a life-threatening situation.

Let alone murdering an innocent person out of hatred.

Liliana found it truly hard to imagine, and even harder to comprehend. In today's society, governed by law, could there really be so many outlaws who would kill a vibrant, wonderful person out of sheer jealousy?

So she couldn't imagine it, couldn't accept it.

That Isabella would deliberately orchestrate an accident to kill her own husband, the father of her child, a man renowned throughout Crownport as a true gentleman.

Liliana thought, "Matthew was very fond of Isabella as his wife. I could see it."

She tried to recall. "He was always good to her. Good to her when they were children, good to her before they were married, and even better after."

Liliana wasn't sure if Matthew's kindness toward Isabella stemmed from love, but in any case...

"Matthew was probably the kindest person to Isabella in the entire world."
