Regret Came Too Late

Brent burst into laughter when he heard this. "Oh, Maria. You and Randy worked hard your whole lives only to raise an ungrateful snake. Do you know how Randy ended up in prison or who planted his semen on the victim?

"You'll never understand how dark Alice's methods really are. She destroyed your family, yet you still think she's a good daughter. Hahaha!

"Let me tell you the truth-Taylor is lying in that bed because Alice put him there herself. That poor fool liked following her around everywhere, which made people mock her. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she came up with a permanent solution.

"Don't ask how I know-I saw it with my own eyes. I happened to be asking Randy for a loan that day, but he refused, so I never told you. All I can say is you deserved it!

"You've all been acting all high and mighty, so you deserve to be fooled for the rest of your life!"

Brent's words were venomous, each one seemingly stabbing Maria right in the heart. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed instantly. "Alice isn't like that. She can't be..."

Brent sneered, as if talking helped distract him from the pain. "Maria, do you know how much money I've taken from the Lamberts over the years? Nearly ten million dollars. But Alice only gave me 300 thousand dollars.

"Every time she looks at me, it's like she's looking at garbage. If I didn't need money for gambling, I would've stabbed her to death. How can a woman be so horrible? Damn it!

"Just talking about her makes me angry. But she's too vicious, and she has bodyguards. If I hadn't dropped to my knees fast enough back then, I would've lost both my legs and arms."

As he spoke about this, his whole body started trembling. "How can there be such an evil woman? She's too good at acting. At first, I thought she was just an innocent young woman. Hahahaha! We were all fooled by her."

He then turned to Grace. "Are you serious about giving me one and a half million dollars?"
