My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1489

I was stunned. This man was making no sense at all. What did he mean that I could have solved it another way? I retorted, "So you think that I was the reason Andrea was caught? Do you think I was the reason that Hendrix gave up on her? Austin, this is ridiculous, are you even listening to yourself? Why would I spend so much time dealing with a person who has nothing to do with me at all? And now because of this, you think I am cold and heartless.

To be honest, I never took Andrea's existence seriously, because she is really not worth my attention. She is just a woman who has done nothing except relying on others. For so many years, she had countless opportunities to change herself, but she still remained the same. Even if Hendrix really liked her, what man would be willing to have such a useless woman by their side? What man would want to spend the rest of their life loving and taking care of such a useless human being? Austin, you're such a hypocrite. You accuse me of ruining her life, but you yourself also gave up on her in the end. What right do you have to question me?" I continued.

He was shocked by my outburst and crushed the cigarette butt in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he retorted coldly, "Don't change the topic. To be honest, you are just heartless. You didn't have to send her to jail, but you still chose to do so. You didn't show any mercy when you ruined her reputation and future. Even if she comes out of prison in the future, how will she be able to find a job and survive? Arianna, if this isn't ruthless, then what is?"

I really couldn't hold back my laughter. I couldn't believe how outrageous he was being, and I couldn't stop laughing at his words.

He was unsettled by my sudden laughter. He frowned at me and asked, "Arianna, what are you laughing at? What's so funny about this? Did I say anything wrong? Why are you laughing?"

It took me a while to calm down. Looking at him, I said with some sarcasm, "Austin, I'm sure you can't even bring yourself to believe everything you just said, can you? How are you saying all of this with so much confidence? Why don't you bail her out this instant, if you're so afraid she will amount to nothing when she is let out in the future? Surely it isn't that difficult for the Shelley family to get someone out of prison? Besides, even if I hadn't sent her to prison, do you really believe she will be able to live well in her state? That's not possible. Everyone knows that she is a mere pet canary raised by you and Hendrix. Once you let her go free, do you think she can make her own living? She would still be nothing more than a toy in the hands of someone else. You know very well, better than I do, in fact, that what I say will come true.

Just admit it. You haven't loved her for a long time now. You are even starting to feel disgusted by her. Otherwise, why would you have said such nasty things to her in the hospital? You wanted to force her to leave, but you didn't want to be the bad person. So you chose to just let her be and allowed her to do as she pleased. You are one of the reasons she has become who she is today. Admit it, you were happy that things turned out this way. However, you didn't want to bear the responsibility and chose to put the blame on me instead. Get off your high horse, Austin. Even if I were to take the blame for how Andrea turned out, it won't change how other people view you, anyway. Stop pretending. You make me sick!" I continued.
