Chapter 299: Regret Helping You

"Didn't you see him fall right in front of you with your own eyes? Don't you know the exact location where you were at that time?”

“You knew his identity, so after returning to Valarna, didn't you go to his organization? How come you didn't even bring back his body in the end?"

Sally was so distressed that she could barely control her emotions. She grabbed Vivian's arm and bombarded Vivian with a series of questions.

Vivian was in pain from Sally's tight grip, but she didn't even flinch. "Sally, I did everything I could after the incident."

"Someone was chasing us downstairs at that time. That person had a grudge against me and Christopher. We didn't even know if he took Christopher's body."

"Then who is he?" Sally tightened her grip on Vivian's hand even more. "What's his name? What does he look like? How can I contact him? Or where can I find him?"

"It's useless to ask all these questions, Sally. That place is very dangerous," Vivian said softly, trying to persuade Sally. "Even if I know, I won't tell you. Besides, I have no idea where he is now. If I could contact him, I would have gone to find him a long time ago."

But Sally was too agitated to hear anything at that moment. "Then you should tell me the information about this person. Just because you can't find him doesn't mean no one else can. I can ask Sheldon for help, and I have some resources of my own."

"Sally, I have already asked Sheldon for help, but there hasn't been any significant progress at the moment. Just wait for our news and don't take any risks," Vivian sighed.

"No, I will find him. Even if I can't retrieve his body, I will avenge him! Vivian, please, tell me who that person is. Tell me who killed Christopher. I will make him pay for his blood debt!"

In fact, when Vivian was talking about this just now, she conveniently avoided mentioning Ethan, but now Sally brought up this question again.

Vivian didn't want to distort the truth, nor did she want to deceive Sally by saying that Christopher was pushed off the rooftop by someone else, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

While they were arguing, Ethan had already noticed the situation here.

He didn't know what problem they had encountered, but it seemed serious.

So he quickly hung up the phone and came to Vivian.

As he approached, he understood that they were talking about Christopher.

He also knew how guilty and troubled Vivian was about this matter, so he didn't want to make it difficult for her.

Therefore, after hearing Sally's question, he directly answered on behalf of Vivian.

"It was me. I was on the rooftop at that time, and I was under the influence of drugs. I accidentally pushed Christopher off."

"What did you say?" Sally thought she had misheard. She immediately let go of Vivian and turned to look at Ethan. "You said it was you who pushed Christopher off?"

"Yes." Ethan took the initiative to come forward and take responsibility. "It should be me, but I don't remember what happened at that time."

"But at that time, there was no one else on the rooftop except us. I was very unstable emotionally at that time, and I was indeed very angry with Christopher."

"Is this true?" Sally didn't expect things to turn out like this. She looked at Vivian in disbelief. "Is what he said true? Do you know about this?"

Vivian nodded silently. "Yes, I know about this. But it's not as simple as he made it sound. Can you listen to our explanation?"

"Explanation?" Sally glanced at Vivian, then at Ethan, and then slumped down on the sofa in despair.

She asked Vivian, "If I hadn't asked you who killed Christopher just now, were you planning to protect your husband like this? You knew it was him, but you hid it from me!"

"Sally, this matter is very complicated. Can you please listen to our explanation?"

Seeing the 'murderer' standing in front of her, Sally became calm.

"Fine. Go ahead and speak. I'm listening."

Vivian nodded and sat down next to Sally, saying, "There are certain matters involving Christopher's mission, so I can't tell you every detail. But I will tell you what needs to be said..."

So Vivian told Sally about what happened between her and Christopher in Miriwyth, including the promise she made to him before he died to be together in their next life.

Because this was the key for Sophia to provoke Ethan back then.

After listening to the whole story, Sally burst into tears. "So he was the most innocent one. He paid the price for the grudges between all of you."

"I knew that he seemed to have someone in his heart, but I only found out today that it was you. If he hadn't met you, would he still be alive?"

"No!" Ethan could accept Sally saying that he accidentally killed Christopher, but he couldn't accept her saying that Christopher died because he met Vivian.

"Back then, Christopher was badly injured at Quinton's factory. If Vivian hadn't risked her life to save him, he might have died then. Miss Sampson, I am responsible for Christopher's death, but I hope you will not blame Vivian for it."

"Yes." Sally trembled, her lips quivering and her eyes turning red. "I shouldn't blame Vivian. I should blame you! If one day I accidentally killed Vivian, I'm sure you wouldn't forgive me either. So go and die, go and pay for his life!"

Sally couldn't accept that a lunatic who killed someone wouldn't be held legally responsible. What about the person who died?

She grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and stabbed it towards Ethan's chest.

However, Vivian held onto the blade.

"Sally," Vivian said, her eyes turning red from sadness, "Ethan didn't mean to do it. He became like that because of me. If you want revenge, then punish me instead."

Watching the fresh blood continuously dripping from Vivian's palm, Sally couldn't help but cry sadly.

She stared at Vivian for a while before finally releasing her grip on the knife handle. "You guys can leave. I don't want to see you for now. I need to adjust my mood properly."

"And Ethan, I regret helping you. If I had known things were like this, even if you knelt down and begged me, I wouldn't have helped you. Get out. Leave my home immediately!"
