A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 945

"Ah, so it's her..." York stumbled back a step as the truth hit him.

He'd always found something off about Wendy, but her gentle, kind demeanor made it hard to believe she could be capable of such acts.

Turns out, she was the one who ruined Vanya's face, the one who drugged his drink.

Damn, Wendy, you really know how to put on a show!

You've been playing this role for over thirty years, impressive!

York thought and clenched his fists, slamming them down on the table in fury. "Your mother ruined both mine and Vanya's lives!"

Robin's response was cold and biting. "You can't solely blame her for everything. After all, when you learned about Vanya's disfigurement, you chose to abandon her as well, didn't you, Dad?"

York's angry gesture froze in mid-air, his son's words piercing deep into his core.

"If it wasn't for your mother's encouragement, Evelyn wouldn't have ruined Vanya's face. And then Vanya wouldn't have been cast aside by my father, leading to our engagement being broken off. Your mother is the one who caused all of this!"

A smirk formed on Robin's face as he witnessed his father's outburst.

"Dad, ask yourself honestly, could you truly have married someone who was disfigured? Could you have spent your life looking at a face that was no longer the same?"

York recalled the first time he saw Vanya after her disfigurement; fear had gripped him.

But he was just a naive twenty-something back then.

What about now, would he still be scared? Could he accept it?

This question seemed to torment his soul, digging deep into his heart, leaving him momentarily speechless.

Sheldon Pine, clueless about everything, felt overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information and stood up from the sofa.

"I don't believe it."

He gripped his necklace, turning to leave.

"There's one more thing you need to know."

Sheldon Pine's steps halted, but he didn't have the courage to look back at Robin.

"Vanya is not a biological daughter of the Pine family."

Robin responded, "What can the Pine family and the Spencer family truly offer as amends? Family connections? She doesn't belong to the Pine family. Financial compensation? She's now married to Bernard and lacks for nothing."

Elbert was left speechless. He wanted to argue, but he couldn't deny that Robin had a point. What meaningful amends could the Pine family and the Spencer family provide?

Robin let out a soft sigh. "Let my father and your father live with the guilt they feel towards Vanya for the rest of their lives. That can be a form of amends and punishment."

After this was over, York locked himself in his room for several days and nights, refusing to be disturbed.

When he appeared again, he was still as impeccably dressed and full of vigor as if nothing had happened.

As he was putting on his watch and hurrying downstairs, he said, "Katharine, come with me to meet the son of the Sharp family."

Katharine, who had been arranging flowers, paused upon hearing his words. "Alright, I'll go and change," she replied, her back lacking any signs of enthusiasm.

As Robin emerged from his room, he observed Katharine's distant demeanor, his expression filled with seriousness.

After contemplating for a while, he finally decided to take out his phone and send Bernard a message:

[My sister is on the verge of being arranged to marry the son of the Sharp family. If that jerk still has feelings for her, he better act fast and find her—]
