'What will happen if I tell the truth?'

Bright definitely would kick her out of the Lee family, since Marley was the brother that he admired the most. But, in his mind, she had hurt his brother and married his father with an ulterior motive.

"What? Do you still not want to tell the truth? Are you thinking how to make up an excuse?" Bright had lost his patience, seeing Hallie keeping her mouth shut. "You are straining my patience. This is the only chance. Don't hesitate. I won't give you another chance if I change my mind!"

Bright kept staring at her, as if he was seeing through her.

Hallie shivered when she met his eyes as cold as ice.

"I...I can tell you the truth, but please don't tell your father and don't put Zoe and Stefan in a difficult situation." Hallie didn't want to get her children into trouble.

Hallie felt relieved when hearing his words.
