Chapter 627
Perhaps he had been planning this a long time ago. Otherwise, how could he possibly find all of her classmates and
invite them over in such a short time?
Edward turned to Lara as well. "Lara, what does he mean? Why did you start the fire?"
Seeing that Lara looked like she wanted to tear him apart, Nigel smiled and said, "Since you don't want to say
anything, let me tell him—"
However, before he could start talking, she asked angrily, "Why? You promised me that this matter will never see
the light of day. Do you know that you only lived this long because I trusted you?"
He sneered. "I know you're ruthless enough to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. You're cold to the bones.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI just didn't expect that you would end up killing Ellen! What kind of deep hatred made you willing to let her die? At
that time, I actually believed that it was just a moment of jealousy. If I had said something at the time, maybe Ellen
wouldn't have died, and you might not have been able to go around creating trouble for so long."
The more he listened to them, the more Edward became more confused as he glanced between the two of them.
However, his heart had started to waver, and he didn't want to listen to Lara's excuses anymore.
He said to Nigel, "Make this clear. What the hell is going on?"
Nigel fixed a fierce glare on Edward. "You're really something. You were already married to Ellen, yet you divorced
her for Lara. The most annoying thing is that you even used such a method!"
Edward looked embarrassed. Why did Eugene tell him everything? "You don't know the truth about what happened
back then..."
Nigel retorted, "How could I not know? Didn't you and Lara deliberately design a whole play about Ellen cheating in
order to force Ellen to divorce you? Above anything else, I'd believe you if you claimed that someone else cheated,
but how could Ellen possibly do that? She loved you so much. You're just cruel. At any rate, she gave birth to two
sons for you, yet you actually forced her to leave? How could you have such a heart?"
This matter wasn't a secret. Pretty much the entire Nolan Family knew about it, but talking about it in front of so
many people still made Edward a little embarrassed.
"I didn't mean to force her. She gave up her divided portion of the property, then left the house and everything else
behind. All right. Let's not talk about her anymore. You—"
Nigel didn't let Edward finish speaking as he fiercely continued, "If Lara hadn't found her and admitted that you
plotted the whole cheating act, how could she be sad and not want anything? You're not hers anymore. Do you
think she'll still want what's yours? It's not that I want to criticize you, Edward, but you're really something. At any
rate, she's your legal wife. If you didn't like her, you shouldn't have married her. You ruined her life..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHannah reached out and tugged on Nigel before she began to complain about him as he kept going on and on. "All
right. All right. Let's get serious. That's all in the past, so what's the use of talking about it now?"
"It's useless. She's already dead. Even if he repents, it's no use!" He grew increasingly angrier as he spoke since he
had truly misjudged Edward. Was what Edward did something a person would do?
Edward actually felt sorry for Ellen, but she didn't say anything at that time, so he didn't know that Lara had
approached her! Then, he took a deep breath. "Okay. Okay. Stop criticizing me. I feel guilty about it too. Tell me
what's going on. I remember that Lara saved me. How did she end up starting the fire?"
Glancing at Lara, Nigel slowly enunciated, "What do you mean by Lara saved you? Even if she saved you, she was
just compensating you. When we were at the party, I went to the bathroom and happened to see a figure floating
by. I thought it was Lara, so I chased after her out of curiosity. Then, I heard Lara say to two men, 'Take action once
she enters the room'."
