“Mom, I understand. I’ll do everything I can to save Martin Doyle.”
Kate Verdan finally let out a breath of relief after hearing Natalie’s words.
She had managed to fool her, managed to protect her own life and keep it from being affected.
Seeing Kate’s relief, Natalie said, “It’s a good thing Marie isn’t Martin Doyle’s daughter. Otherwise, she’d be damned for what she’s done.”
Natalie watched as her mother’s body visibly jolted.
Kate said in a panic, “What does Martin Doyle’s situation have to do with Marie? Didn’t he jump on his own?”
“Mom, the news reported that he was attempting suicide and accidentally fell. Some even say I drove him to it. But you and I both know he’s not the type to kill himself. He was pushed by Marie.”
Natalie deliberately slowed her speech, and she could feel Kate’s body stiffen.
“How is that possible?” Kate said in disbelief. “I don’t know Marie well, but she’s Ms. Ward. How could she possibly do something like murder?”
“Mom, you don’t believe me, do you? But Martin Doyle isn’t the only person Marie has harmed. She also went after her own brother, Marcus Ward.”
“Marie staged a car accident that left her brother in a vegetative state. Later, after I managed to wake Marcus up, Marie became afraid of being exposed and tried to silence him for good.”
“She had Hanley deliver a bouquet of flowers. She knew her brother was allergic to them, and that’s how she killed Marcus Ward.”
The thought of Marie killing Martin Doyle was something Kate couldn’t accept at all.
“No, that can’t be. It can’t be.”
Kate’s blood ran cold. This couldn't be happening. How could a father and daughter try to destroy each other?
Fiona, who had been listening, was terrified. “Sister, is what you’re saying really true? How can that Marie be so horrible?”
“You haven’t seen what Marie is capable of, so you don’t know how vicious she is. I underestimated her before. I never thought she could be so ruthless, even to her own brother. I let my guard down, and she succeeded in killing Marcus Ward. This time, we have to be extremely careful.”
