Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe muscles in Perry's cheeks twitched, a clear sign he had nothing more to say.
Sophie said, "Perry, I'm asking you one last time. Did you kill my father?" "Yes! I killed him! He was so inflexible! He wanted to ruthlessly kickout of the house just because he found out about my gambling!" Veins throbbed on Perry's face, indicating extranger. "I am his brother All I did was ask him for money to cover my gambling debts, and he berated mel Then he wanted to throwout! The Russell family is my home, too. What right did he have!" "You got yourself involved in gambling! What's wrong with my father enforcing family rules and kicking you out? Look at the shyou've brought the Russell family! You killed my father over this!"

Grinding his teeth, Perry said, "I was hung up and beaten by my creditors for three days and nights. When I got home, he forcedto explain what had happened. I refused to say anything, but he guessed it anyway. I had racked up thirty million in debt! I couldn't possibly repay it. Kickingout was cutting off my only means of survival.

I was just a side character, never taken senously by anyone! I loved your mother, too, but she never even looked at me!" Perry revealed the secret he had harbored for years. His aged face was streaked with tears, but his eyes still burned with jealousy and hatred. "I gambled simply wanting to make a fortune, to earn srespect! But your father belittledto nothing! Yes, my brother was impressive, the pride of the Russell family! But what about me? Why did no one pity me? Did he ever consider what kickingout would mean? I'd be faced with a huge debt, likely beaten to death by those I owed!" Sophie couldn't listen anymore.
