Seeing that Edmund didn't look well, Eric thought for a while and couldn't help but persuade him.
Judging from Hester's expression just now, the truth must be not simple!
To make a normal person like this, the bitterness must not be something an ordinary person could bear.
What's more, Edmund was so old. What if he couldn't bear it?
"Dad, would you like to leave for a while?"
Edmund raised his head and glanced at his eldest son with dissatisfaction. Although he was old, he
was not that bad.
"Rosemary is my daughter. Of course I have the right to listen to her."
His simple words made the people who wanted to dissuade shut their mouths. The Liu family had
always been different from others in terms of age, and the family rules that had been passed down for
hundreds of years had always been strict.
Now that Edmund, the master of the family, had spoken, no one dared to step forward to persuade him.
Under unprecedented pressure, Leo sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the door and waiting for Hardy's
son.
Although Edmund insisted, he had to make sure that there was a guarantee. Otherwise, he, as a
psychologist, couldn't do anything in an emergency.
He tapped his legs anxiously with his fingertips. After a while, the figure rushed over at the door.
"Can you tell me now?"
Edmund said slowly, looking at Leo, who had been silent all the time. His remaining patience was worn
out.
He was eager to know what was going on with Rosemary, and he was scared.
Leo cast a meaningful glance at Louis, telling him to keep an eye on his grandfather and not to let
anything happen to him.
He raised his hand to straighten his wrinkled clothes, walked to the center and coughed slightly.
"Three years ago, because Hester's spirit was seriously damaged, she found me as her psychologist.
During the treatment, I accidentally found that she was aunt's daughter.
At that time, Grandpa forbade me to mention that name, so I didn't tell you. I have also asked someone
to investigate her information and found that her growth environment is very complicated."
"Complicated?"
Edmund snorted. Thinking of the man's poor appearance, he missed his daughter even more. How
could she not suffer with such a person?
"Yes, it's very complicated. Hester's father had been addicted to gambling not long after. He wandered
around in various casinos every day, indulging himself in intoxication.
At the same time, the aunt took Hester away to avoid the debt collectors. This kind of life lasted for a
few years, and aunt passed away because of excessive fatigue.
Hester was sent to the orphanage, and then adopted by aunt's friend, Mrs. Qi."
Squinting slightly, Edmund looked at Leo and raised his lips coldly. The crutch in his hand was held
tightly, and his eyes burst out a fierce light.
"It's not that simple. Tell me the truth!"
If he hadn't sent someone to follow Sheryl, he wouldn't have known the existence of Hester. He had
sent so many people to investigate, but there was no result. How could he be easily deceived by his
few words?
Leo's body trembled and his eyes wandered around. He thought in his heart how to say to minimize the
damage.
"Well, Grandpa, what I said is true. You can't deny it!"
"Leo, if you don't tell me the truth today, I will ask someone to investigate it. Then what will happen?
You can't control it."
Leo was in a dilemma when he heard Edmund's words. He crossed his arms and thought that it would
be better for him to tell the truth.
"My aunt was gang raped by the creditors, and Hester was deaf at that time. After that, my aunt was
heartbroken. She left that place and tried to avoid the men.
Later, she died of illness because she couldn't bear it. Before she died, she contacted Mrs. Qi and
asked her to take care of Hester on her behalf. After Mrs. Qi was informed, aunt had already passed
away. Hester was transferred to the orphanage and taken away by Mrs. Qi.
After that, in order to keep the Qi family's foothold in the business world forever, Mrs. Qi made a will to
let her son marry Hester, so that Qi Group could have the Liu family as its backer. When it came to life
and death, she could also help it."
Leo looked at Edmund's face with hesitation, wondering if he should continue. The story was indeed
tragic, but he didn't tell a lie.
According to Edmund's character, he would probably ask someone to investigate the truth of the matter
afterwards!
"To repay the kindness of being adopted by Mrs. Qi, Hester has been taking good care of Terence and
believes that she will be his bride. As for Terence, I think you have heard of him, so I won't say anything
more."
Rowena clenched her fists and burst into tears. Since Rosemary was a little girl, she had been
pampered by everyone. She had never suffered such hardship.
It was just that listening made her depressed. If she personally experienced it, she would definitely not
be able to bear it.
"What a good friend! What a brilliant plan! What a miserable life! Rosemary's husband betrayed her
and her best friend schemed against her. In the end, she lost her own life and even killed her only
daughter!"
"Puff!"
Edmund spat out a mouthful of blood and covered his chest. He felt terrible. He collapsed on the chair,
lifeless.
"Rosemary!"
He murmured the name and fainted. He couldn't accept this fact, let alone forgive himself.
The Liu family was in a mess, and Louis, who was waiting quietly aside, immediately stepped forward
and gave Edmund an emergency treatment. He was also immersed in the past, unable to extricate
himself from it.
He was born early and had a slight impression of the lady of the Liu family. She was such a brilliant
woman, but in the end, she lost her life in the love she had chosen.
On the other side, Hester returned to her room with Sheryl, unable to calm down. The scene in the hall
just now was exactly like the scene of that day. Being forced, her throat was seized by a sense of
despair, and she could not breathe.
"Cousin, don't be like this. I'm afraid!"
Sheryl frowned and looked at Hester with fear. She gently touched her shoulder and persuaded her.
"Cousin?"
Hester moved her eyes and pushed Sheryl away.
"Tell me, who are you?"
