Sure enough, Rowane's voice could be heard from the room. She sounded a little emotional and distant, and her voice was deep. "You're a fine one to talk! Your son winded up in the police station because you've failed to educate him. I'm not gong to take the blame for you."
Hogan's mother stared at Rowane in incredulity. "You... How dare you growl at me?"
"Initially, I didn't want to speak with you this way. Mrs. Wells, I had been treating you with respect over the years as I thought we might become a family in the future. You used to like me very much too. If my memory serves me correctly, such scorn you're pouring onto me, you used to heap it on my sister." Rowane looked coldly at Hogan's mother. "You're very interesting. You used to deride my sister together with me, but now, you're turning against me with the same harsh words. It turns out that both my sister and I are thorns in your side."
"Humph, don't mention Leah. She is also a hussy. You sisters are so wicked for seducing my son together. Now, you've sent my son to the police station, and you even want him behind bars. How dare you!" Keira's tone was filled with arrogance and unreasonableness.
Rowane couldn't help raising her voice and sneered as she spoke with a sharp tone, "It has nothing to do with my sister. I am responsible for my own doings. I just want to send your son to prison, and it must be more than just a few years. I want him to spend his life in prison."
"What?" Keira screamed instantly when she heard that. "You are so vicious. Rowane, how dare you! Why are you treating my son like this? How did my son mistreat you? Why do you want to ruin his life?"
"How did your son mistreat me?" Rowane sneered. "Your son mistreated me in too many ways. He forced me to sleep with him, and he made me pregnant. He was the one who had promised to be loyal to me, yet he still set his mind on my sister. A man like him can't even be called a man. Your son is precious to you, and you think that he's flawless, but my sister and I are the children to someone else too. As a parent, do you not feel guilty when you say things like that?"
"Look who's talking! You and your sister clearly seduced my son together in the first place."
Before Keira finished her words, Rowane interrupted her by saying sardonically, "You are wrong. It's still all right if you say that I seduced your son, but as for my sister, no, she didn't. It was your son who kept wavering and couldn't tell his own heart. He even wanted to sleep with both of us and ruin us. Humph, now I've seen clearly that you Wells family indeed have a heritable problem with being unreasonable."
"I don't believe it. My son is so excellent. Obviously, it was you both who seduced my son."
"Bah." Rowane retorted, "You are so funny. My sister's boyfriend is much better and more handsome than your son. Would she be giving up such a decent boyfriend to seduce your son? Aren't you just being unreasonable here like your son, or do you really think she's as stupid as you?"
Keira was taken aback and gazed at Rowane in astonishment and disbelief, as if the person that Rowane was talking about wasn't someone that she knew.
After that, she frowned and rejoined coldly, "I don't believe it. Aren't you saying all these jut to prove that my son has let you down?"
"Didn't he? Not only did he cause my miscarriage, but he also hurt me violently. Can't you see that?" Rowane did not allow Keira to save face at all. There was a growing repugnance in her toward Keira.
Being stunned again, Keira sneered, "Should I trust you just because you said that he forced you to sleep with him? Just now, you also said that your sister didn't seduce him, but you did. Since you were seducing him, isn't it normal for a man and a woman to sleep together? Also, since both of you had done it willingly, it wasn't forced. You were impregnated willingly. Aren't you ashamed to say that he forced you to sleep with him?
Also, what have you done a long time ago? You said you were pregnant and had stopped the pregnancy. Who would believe you since you have stopped the pregnancy?
Don't play the fool with me and think that I don't know your tricks. I'm well aware that you're as despicable as your mother. If your mother hadn't seduced Leah's father back in the day, she wouldn't have led such a good life."
"Yes, my mother didn't treat my sister and her mother well, therefore she was punished. Currently, I feel that all of us deserve the karma for our sins. I don't feel wronged or aggrieved because I deserve it, but what about Hogan? It's about time for his retribution to come too." Rowane shot daggers at Keira, and there was not a single trace of politeness in her words.
Keira sneered. "Humph, are you going rough on me?" "No, I'm going to tell you Wells family through legal means that you have to pay for whatever misdeeds you've committed. Don't even think about getting off or getting lucky. It's useless," Rowane said, "I know that you Wells family have some connections, or else you wouldn't have been released so easily last time. However, this time, you can no longer escape from justice."
"Humph, that's arrogant of you to say so." Keira sneered, "You are really overconfident to challenge us at such a young age."
"Yes, this time, I'm challenging you." Rowane didn't treat her with courtesy. "Go. If you need anything, you can contact the police or the university. Don't come to me. If you harass me again, I will call the police."
"Do you think that I don't dare to slap you?" Hogan's mother was provoked, and there was a note of shamefaced fury in her voice.
"Well, that will be good. If you do so, I will sue you for wounding with intent," Rowane riposted in a calm and icy tone with her uncaring and fearless attitude.
Slap!
What followed was two loud slaps that could be heard from the outside.
