Essie was calm as she looked at Yesseca. "Matthew's brother."
Yesseca was shocked.
"Impossible!" Yesseca said. "How could Matthew's brother be the one who had beat Lothar up like this?"
She didn't know who Matthew's brother was, but Matthew was a good person to her. So, Matthew's brother must also be good person. How could a good person beat her brother up?
This was absolutely impossible!
The corners of Essie's lips curled into a cold smile. "Yesseca, do you think he wouldn't? Matthew was also one of the ones who caused Lothar to die."
"Nonsense!" shouted Yesseca.
"I'm not spouting nonsense." Essie stared into Yesseca's eyes. "His brother was against Matthew being together with Selina. Lothar was mad at him for it, so he went looking for Matthew's brother. And he ended up being beaten and thrown into the sea."
Yesseca's eyelashes trembled as she muttered,
"Impossible, impossible."
Essie continued, "Selina was poisoned by Matthew's brother, and she couldn't live long as her heart would give up soon."
Yesseca gawked at Essie.
What? Poison?
She didn't understand at all.
"It's something that the Witch Clan does," Essie explained. "You don't need to know too much about it. All you need to know is that Selina was going to die from the poison. Didn't you realize how much Selina had aged? It was because of the poison."
Yesseca felt her head buzzing.
Essie's words reminded her of one thing.
She did remember thinking that Selina had been acting weirdly for some time.
Selina always looked tired and devastated. Even her words were a bit strange.
And Selina even gave her a card, telling her that she would never see her again.
At that time, Yesseca couldn't figure out why Selina would say that, but now...
An extreme fear rose in Yesseca's heart.
Was Essie really telling the truth?
Yesseca's body began to tremble.
Essie looked at Yesseca's reaction, and her eyes darkened as she said, "Later on, Selina was about to die, and she needed a heart transplant to be saved. She asked for Lothar's heart, and she has it in her now. Selina was saved, but your brother died."
"Plop!"
Yesseca fell to the ground on her knees.
Her knees had gone weak after hearing Essie's words.
Matthew decided to look for Yesseca.
He figured she would not have asked those questions for no reason. He felt that she must have known something and misunderstood Selina.
Therefore, he wanted to have a good chat with her.
If necessary, he would tell her everything.
He called her.
Just as Yesseca was shivering on the ground as if she was wrapped in ice, her phone rang.
The ringing of her phone brought her back to reality.
She supported herself with the chair and took out her phone.
The caller ID displayed Matthew's name.
Yesseca stiffened.
She subconsciously looked at Essie.
Essie was also looking at her.
Yesseca immediately hung up the phone.
Soon, her phone rang again.
Yesseca immediately hung up.
Her phone rang for the third time.
She gritted her teeth and decided to turn off her phone.
Just as she turned off the phone, Essie's faint voice came. "Don't you want to answer the phone? Don't you want to hear what Matthew is going to say? Don't you want to know what he is going to trick you with again?"
