A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1151

But Liana was smart as a whip. Just a glance from Karan and she knew her guess was dead-on. Karan was the one who took the first swing.

This fact made it even harder for Liana to swallow. It was even more difficult to accept than knowing Karan used Tyler to push events forward.

Because that night, regardless of whether Tyler had inadvertently suggested this idea, her own blood aunt would have harmed her in Tyler's name.

All Karan needed to do was grease a few sleazy palms to have them point fingers at Tyler. No matter how much he tried to explain, he could never clear his name. And all it took to stop him was one accusation from her.

So, at that time, after Liana woke up, instead of first caring about her, Karan kept pestering her, asking whose idea it all was. Karan was acting in the name of revenge, but in reality, she was using this opportunity to frame Tyler...

If Liana had not been blinded by family ties and her hatred for Tyler, she should have kept her cool and thought about why she'd become a pawn, a pawn used for others' gains...

Liana sneered inwardly, but still asked Karan with a poker face.

"My dear auntie, tell me, when did you start to use me? Was it from the moment you brought me to the Howell family, or when you nudged me towards Tyler..."

Seeing Liana's red-rimmed eyes, Karan suddenly felt like she saw through everything. Keeping secrets seemed pointless now. She could feel that her niece would never cherish her like before. Might as well spill the beans and let her remember her good intentions.

With that thought, Karan grabbed Liana's hand again, let her release her skirt and placed her hand in her own. Then she covered it with her other hand.

"Liana, I brought you to the Howell family because your parents died. I felt sorry for you, I wanted you to have a good life with me. But I never expected Tyler to redirect his hatred for me and Aidyn towards you."

If she had been using Liana from the start, Karan wouldn't have sent Aidyn away early. She would've used Liana as a shield. But she didn't plan for that, so she didn't guard against it.
