Chapter 226 Finally Meeting the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

The cold air cleared away the various musty smells in the trunk, which temporarily cleared Peyton’s mind a little.

Peyton deliberately shouted nervously, “Who are you? Let me go!”

Peyton was indeed really nervous, but she told herself that she had to stay calm. Only when she calmed down could she find the loophole.

Dwayne’s voice came through, “Ms. Schmitt, you’ve always wanted to find out how Leilani died, haven’t you? Do you want me to tell you myself?”

Peyton suddenly felt a rope swinging above her neck. Dwayne’s voice was no longer as gentlemanly as when they first met. Dwayne now seemed like a venomous snake hissing in her ear.

“She was strangled like this. By the way, her expression before she died was exactly the same as the expression on your face right now. Her hands and feet were struggling incessantly.”

She desperately tried to ask for help, but she couldn’t utter a complete sentence. She could only look at me with desperate and fearful eyes, and then she slowly lost her breath.

In the darkness, Peyton became more sensitive to her surroundings. Dwayne’s words made her imagination run wild.

Peyton seemed to be able to sense Leilani’s despair before her death, and Leilani felt the helplessness of slowly dying.

“So the person who killed Leilani was definitely not my dad!”

Peyton realized that what she had been doing all along was not wrong. In her eyes, Kason was such a good person. He couldn’t possibly do something so insane! Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“The baby in her belly was indeed your father’s.”

“Beast! What did the Schmitt family ever do to you? You didn’t even spare a pregnant woman!”

Peyton was crying uncontrollably. She was thinking that if that child hadn’t died, she would have had a little brother or sister by now.

Colette had left for so many years. Peyton hoped in his heart that Kason would find true love again.

She thought Kason was not wrong.

“Leilani was Nolan’s biological sister. If he found out the truth, he would definitely not let you guys off the hook!”

Dwayne sneered disdainfully, “If he knew the truth, would you be here?”

Peyton fell silent. She knew that Paula was like a wound in Nolan’s heart that could never be touched. Nolan was even displeased when she mentioned Paula in front of him, let alone investigating anything related to Paula again.

Every time she mentioned Paula, it felt like she was reopening a wound in Nolan’s heart. If she asked Nolan to investigate anything related to Paula, it would be like rubbing salt in his wound.

“Why did you do this?” Peyton weakly hung their head.

“If you want to blame, blame yourself.”

Peyton did not understand what mistake she had made.

“Your existence was the biggest mistake.”

Dwayne lifted Peyton up and carried her on his shoulder as if he was carrying a sack.

Because she had been locked up for so long, Peyton felt very

uncomfortable. After being carried on Dwayne’s shoulders, she felt even more dizzy and nauseous.

The sound of the sea breeze gradually diminished. Peyton felt that she had been brought indoors. It was an extremely empty room. She could clearly hear Dwayne’s voice.

Peyton was casually thrown on the ground. She felt herself land next to something. After that thing moved a bit, she realized she was by someone’s feet.

“Could this person be the mastermind behind the scenes, manipulating everything?”

At this thought, Peyton felt as if all the blood in her body rushed into her brain. She trembled uncontrollably.

Peyton’s mood was complicated. She said with a resentful tone, “Were you behind all this? Did you cause the Schmitt family to go bankrupt and my dad to end up in the hospital?”

Peyton felt the person beside her slowly crouch down and lift her chin with one hand. A voice, indistinguishable whether it was male or female, spoke, “It’s me.”
