Chapter 291

"If Grace's death really has nothing to do with you, then why are we so afraid of the Wilson Family? We might as well let them investigate. Mom, just tell me, I have the right to know too."

Unable to resist Violet's persistent questioning, Harper had no choice but to bring up the chaotic relationship of the three people from back then.

However, she still refused to admit that Grace's death had anything to do with her.

"I honestly don't know how Grace died."

"At that time, I was just a small luxury store clerk. When I first met Indigo, he was taking over the company that Grace had managed well. He was in high spirits, dressed in all designer brands."

"Mom, you didn't seduce Dad at that time, did you? Is that why you married into the Taylor Family?"

"What are you talking about? Who seduced him?"

Harper thought of her younger self and felt foolish, "It was Indigo who was attracted to my beauty, deliberately approached me, and flirted with me."

"And at that time, Grace was just pregnant. Indigo couldn't stand the loneliness and pretended to be a single man to date me. By the time I found out he had a family, it was too late; I was already pregnant with you."

Thinking about how she got pregnant so foolishly back then, Harper hated Indigo.

"I was so young, of course, I didn't want to be a third party. So when I found out he was married, I planned to secretly leave Evergreen City and completely cut ties with Indigo."

"But when I was seven months pregnant with you, Isabella was born. Indigo wanted a son to inherit his business, so he found me again, wanting me to give him a son. He promised that as long as I gave birth to you, he would take us both home."

"He said Grace's health was terrible after giving birth and that she wouldn't live long. Once she died, he would marry me and make me the mistress of the Taylor Family. He even said that he only loved me in this life, never Grace."

The more Harper spoke, the more she hated Indigo. Indigo was a bastard.

All those things he said back then were just to use her.

Grace lost her value, so he could kick her away. As for her, without Bianca, the valuable daughter, he didn't want them either.

He was selfish, loving no one but himself.

She wiped her tears and held Violet's hand for comfort, "Bianca, you don't know, at that time, I really didn't know Indigo had a family. And I had you, how could I be heartless enough to abandon you? So, I agreed to Indigo's plan."

After hearing this, Violet thought for a moment and said, "So, Grace's death was just because she was weak after giving birth, not because you and Dad harmed her?"

This conclusion was hard to believe for Violet, let alone anyone from the Wilson Family.

If Grace died due to her own reasons, wouldn't the powerful and influential Wilson Family have found out back then?

Violet hesitated for a moment and then looked back at Harper, "Mom, are you making up lies to deceive me?"

It wasn't surprising that her own daughter didn't trust Harper. If this matter really had nothing to do with Harper, why would the Wilson Family keep targeting her? It didn't make sense!

Sure enough, after she said this, Violet clearly saw a change in Harper's expression.

That was a guilty evasion.

Violet understood something.

Harper hadn't told her the truth; there must be some other hidden story!

Under Violet's gaze, Harper finally gave in, reluctantly pulling a wry smile.

"Alright, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else. Actually, Grace wasn't that sick. She was just weak after giving birth. From the time I gave birth to you until you were six months old, she was still alive and well."

"Indigo's promises to me were never fulfilled. We could only live in a shabby apartment. Once, I threatened Indigo with you in my arms, asking him to choose between us and Grace. Later, Indigo somehow managed to get Grace into the hospital, and within three months, she died."

Harper's words shifted all the suspicion onto Indigo.

She made herself sound completely innocent, without any doubts.

Violet found it even stranger because, based on the previous conversation, she still held doubts about Harper.

"Are you saying you don't know the details of how Grace died in the hospital?"

"No, I have no idea how she died in the hospital. The Wilson Family people tortured me, even wanted to use private punishment on me. The police should arrest them all and clear my name."

Harper spoke with a righteous tone.

But Violet, seeing her expression while saying these words, guessed that Harper still hadn't revealed the real reason.

However, she didn't plan to ask further.

She didn't care how Grace died.

Even if Harper was involved, so what? After all, Harper was planning for their future. Who wouldn't want a better life?

It was Grace's own fault for not being capable enough to keep Indigo's heart by giving birth to a son.

The Wilson Family people shouldn't think they could catch Harper because of this.

However, Violet's thoughts were destined to be in vain.

Because the pinhole eavesdropper hidden in Harper's clothes had already transmitted their conversation to the Wilson Family's study.

After hearing it, Atticus sent the audio to Kian of the Wilson Family, who was far away abroad.

A few minutes later, he dialed Kian's number.

"Kian, how is it?"

Back then, Indigo and Harper had caused a scene at the Wilson Group and even tried to assassinate Isabella. If Michael hadn't blocked that knife, who knew what might have happened to Isabella.

So after that, Harper was detained for public assault, and Indigo was secretly controlled by the Wilson Family.

To avoid detection, Kian took Indigo abroad and kept him under house arrest on the Wilson Family's property.

Now that both of them were under control and they had obtained evidence from their own mouths, it was time for a confrontation.

When Kian received the audio, he already knew what Atticus wanted to ask.

He straightforwardly said, "Atticus, I repeated Harper's words to Indigo, but both of them blame each other. Neither is willing to say what exactly happened back then."

They were originally in a mutually beneficial, exploitative relationship, so it wasn't surprising they would do such a thing, as Atticus had expected.

However, he hadn't anticipated the clue from Harper.

He had thought Harper wouldn't hide anything when facing Bianca, but based on the audio just now, she hadn't spoken a single truth.
