Chapter 464:

Brielle clutched her face, her eyes burning with resentment as she glared at Elmore.

But when the police rushed in, she quickly masked her fury and grabbed Elmore’s arm in desperation. “Dad, please save me! I’m your daughter. Please p>

Before she could finish, Elmore yanked his arm away with a scowl.

“You already passed the confidential documents to Dad, and now the cover’s blown, you’re useless,” Huntley sneered as he came down the stairs, his tone dripping with disdain.

He had long known about his sister’s existence, but he had never cared to acknowledge her.

If Brielle had still been in the Chadwick family, he might have considered her worth something.

Though she had suspected it, hearing it confirmed still sent tears streaming down Brielle’s face. “So you’ve just been using me this whole time?” she asked Elmore.

“If it weren’t for me, do you think you would have ever become Weston’s daughter?” Elmore replied coldly.

“You… I’m your daughter. How can you treat me like this p>

“I gave you life. You owe me everything,” Elmore said without a trace of warmth. “I can treat you however I like p>

Brielle’s heart sank, her eyes filling with anguish as the police snapped handcuffs around her wrists.

Clinging to a final thread of hope, she looked at Elmore.

But he turned away, refusing to meet her eyes.

By the time Amelia received the news about Brielle’s arrest, it was already noon the next day.

Weston’s injury had kept her in Hans, unable to leave.

After a quick lunch at the hotel, she headed to the hospital with Wyatt.

Weston had regained consciousness two hours earlier.

When he opened his eyes, he scanned the hospital room, looking for Amelia. His heart sank when he realized she wasn’t there.

Just when he was sinking into disappointment, a knock at the door pulled him out of his thoughts.

“Amelia, you’re here,” he said softly.

His eyes glistened with unshed tears.

The other members of the Chadwick family quietly slipped out of the room to give them space.

Shepard, lingering by the door, kept gesturing for Wyatt to leave as well, but Wyatt stood his ground and ignored him.

Finally, Amelia spoke. “Wyatt, I want a moment alone with Mr. Chadwick p>

“Alright. I’ll be right outside if you need me,” Wyatt replied, stepping away.

When only Amelia and Weston were left in the room, Weston spoke first. “Amelia, I truly loved your mother. I never betrayed her, I swear p>

“I know,” Amelia said softly.

Meeting his confused gaze, she briefly explained the documents she had gotten from Damon.

When she mentioned the letters, Weston carefully pulled a worn letter from his inner pocket.

The edges were frayed, proof of how many times he had read it. Handing it to Amelia with trembling fingers, he asked urgently, “Is this real? Did your mother write this p>

Amelia read the letter.

With a single look, she could tell it wasn’t written by her mother.

“This isn’t her handwriting,” she said gently.

Weston went still for a moment, then let out a harsh, broken laugh as tears spilled down his cheeks.

As the laughter faded, he began coughing violently, his body heaving with emotion.

Seeing his distress, Amelia picked up a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to him.

After drinking and settling down, Weston rasped, “I claimed to love Katrina, and I didn’t even know her handwriting. This is my punishment. I deserve this pain p>

“It’s not your fault,” Amelia said. “Mr. Chadwick, why did you marry Mrs. Chadwick so soon after parting from my mother p>

The formal address stung Weston, but he still told the story in a low voice.

After Katrina disappeared, Weston drowned himself in alcohol night after night.

One night, after heavy drinking, Kennedy arranged for Danielle to end up in Weston’s bed — a calculated move Weston only understood later.

Kennedy had only one child, Weston. While he did not care whom Weston chose to love, he was adamant that Weston produce an heir to continue the Chadwick family line.

Weston had no intention of marrying Danielle despite what had happened. Yet, by a twist of fate, Danielle conceived after their single night together. Danielle bore no fault in the matter. After days of drowning his turmoil in alcohol, Weston reluctantly agreed to marry her.

Amelia hadn’t expected such a complicated situation. Remembering Katrina’s sorrow before her passing, she looked at Weston with mixed emotions. “Mr. Chadwick, we should forget about the past. You p>

“Amelia, I’m your father!” His face was etched with anguish as Weston continued, “I know I failed Katrina, and I failed you too, but I swear I didn’t know before p>
