Chapter 484
Chapter 484:
“What?” Janice’s eyes widened. Despite bracing herself for the worst, Aiden’s words ignited pure fury within her. Now she understood Stephen’s earlier silence—such a devastating past would haunt anyone.
“Janice, I understand your anger. But Wendy’s support is substantial. Based on what we’ve gathered, we can be almost certain her backers were behind the White family’s downfall.”
Janice’s eyes narrowed dangerously, her aura turning icy.
The very force that had destroyed the White family now stood behind Wendy, who hypocritically adopted Stephen only to use his situation to keep him trapped.
This was beyond simple evil.
“What other information do you have?” Janice pressed, hungry for more details.
Aiden paused briefly before speaking candidly. “Word is that Wendy indulges in certain unsavory behaviors. Her husband couldn’t tolerate them and fell into depression. Despite his disgust, her powerful connections forced him to swallow his anger. Wendy’s brazen actions and control over Stephen come purely from the confidence her backing provides.”
Janice had finally pieced together all the fragments of this disturbing puzzle.
Wendy’s adoption of Stephen was merely a front to satisfy her dark desires. His striking features made him the perfect prey for her twisted games.
As for those peculiar preferences, Janice could only imagine the possibilities.
Right now, she longed for nothing more than to capture Wendy and make her truly suffer.
“Janice, are you okay?” Aiden asked, concern in his voice.
“I’m fine!” Janice took a steadying breath, holding back her fury. “Thank you, Aiden. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything impulsive. Though I could crush the Chadwick family easily, that would be far too merciful.”
“What do you plan to do?”
G a lno ve ls . com is where the magic begins
“Of course, I’ll take them down piece by piece. Not just Wendy, but everyone behind her. They’ll all get a taste of hell as I tear their world apart step by step.”
Without warning, Aiden grasped Janice’s hand, his eyes burning with determination. “I’ll stand by you through all of it.”
Janice froze for a moment before quickly pulling her hand away. “You really don’t need to get involved. We—”
“We’re family,” Aiden interrupted, his gaze tender. “I regret not understanding my feelings sooner. I lost my chance with you. But I won’t let any more opportunities slip away. Even if you can’t accept me now, give me time to prove I’m someone you can rely on.”
Such a heartfelt declaration left Janice momentarily speechless. “I—I need to rest for a while. I have to continue filming the show later.” She hurriedly retreated upstairs.
Aiden watched her leave with quiet satisfaction. Though she hadn’t addressed his feelings, the absence of rejection gave him hope.
“I thought rekindling old flames wasn’t your style, Aiden.”
A deep voice came from behind.
Aiden turned to find Kenneth emerging from a nearby room.
“Someone like you wouldn’t typically revisit past relationships,” Kenneth remarked, a hint of mockery in his tone.
Aiden chuckled coldly. “Kenneth, you’re mistaken. I don’t rekindle old romances. But Janice is not just some past flame. She’s an irreplaceable treasure. I lost her once, but I won’t make that mistake again.”
