Capítulo 2456: Chapter 2469
Rebecca Kelloway’s face turned ghastly pale, and with clenched teeth, she said, “The Kelloway family will never be as heartless as your Heath family. You can clearly help, but you don’t. It’s not difficult for you. You’re just trying to…”
Rebecca’s piercing gaze fell upon Joanna Lawrence, as she continued with vicious resentnt, “You’re trying to get back at Joanna, not caring about the life and death of the Kelloway family.”
Ashton Heath sneered, “The Heath Group has been suppressing the Kelloway Group for years, taking over many markets that originally belonged to the Kelloway Group. Your father has long held grudges in his heart. The so-called friendship between the Heath family and the Kelloway family is nothing but a superficial relationship.”
“If the Heath Group were in trouble, believe , your father would be delighted. Asking the Kelloway Group for help? At that ti, your father could easily say that his abilities are insufficient, his heart willing but his strength weak, and that would be the end of the Heath Group.”
“As for refusing to help because I want to take a stand for Joanna, so what? The woman I love has been wronged, and I’m expected to act as if nothing has happened and continue to call her oppressor a friend?”
“Rebecca Kelloway, do you think too highly of yourself? Do you think that because of our years of friendship, I would forgive you ti and ti again? Do you think that anything you do to Joanna can be forgiven?”
“Even with our many years of friendship, you are just a friend. While Joanna is my wife. If you want to compare the weight of importance in my heart, it only shows that you were mistaken from the beginning.”
Rebecca was stunned, her face turning pale and flush as he bluntly revealed the truth.
She felt like she had been hit hard by sothing heavy, her body swaying, almost on the verge of collapse.
He said she was just a friend.
And Joanna was his wife.
From the very beginning, she had made the mistake of comparing herself to Joanna in his heart.
He finally admitted that his refusal to help was indeed because of Joanna.
For Joanna, he disregarded the friendship between the Heath family and the Kelloway family for so many years.
And he disregarded their many years of friendship.
Rebecca, her face pale, looked at him and then at Joanna, whom he held tightly in his arms. Then she suddenly began to laugh.
Her laughter was tinged with tears, and her eyes filled with scorn. “Yes, I brought it all upon myself, thinking that knowing you for so many years sohow made different from everyone else. No matter how cruel you could be, you’d never be so heartless to .”
“It was who wrongly positioned myself from the beginning. What does knowing each other for over twenty years matter, growing up together, or how much I’ve done for you? In your heart, all I got is the title of a ‘friend.'”
How ridiculous.
She was just a friend.
Not even a good friend.
Yet, she even thought that they should be closer than good friends.
Everything was her own fault, her own self-inflicted wounds.
Now that he had finally spoken openly, she realized just how ridiculous she was.
“Ashton Heath, I really regret it,” tears stread down Rebecca’s face, wetting her cheeks and smudging her once-delicate eye make-up. “How could I have loved soone as heartless as you for so many years?”
She even foolishly thought that as long as she persisted, he would eventually be touched and accept her.
Ashton Heath looked at her expressionlessly, “Is that so?”
