Chapter 195 Father and Son
After several thoughts flashed through her mind, she looked at Connor incredulously. "So you mean, you and Isla, you guys are actually..."
Connor\'s smile faded from his face. "Yeah, her mom is my aunt..."
He then lowered his head, covering his face. "Do you want to call me a bastard? But I didn\'t know. How could I have known!!"
All he knew was that his dad was a gambler.
In those dim days when everyone despised them, Isla was like a ray of light shining into his life.
Isla tutored him and took him out to enjoy delicious food...
She was like a fairy from high above, and he couldn\'t help but become infatuated with her.
He had just fallen for the girl next door, who was only two years his senior. So, after getting into college, they couldn\'t contain their feelings.
He truly didn\'t understand anything.
Then Isla told him that his dad was threatening her, asking her for two million... but where could she find two million? Isla cried miserably, which made him conceive the idea of killing his father!
His father could harm anyone in the world, but he absolutely couldn\'t harm Isla!!
Connor devised a perfect plan...
He took the money to the abandoned hospital to find Finley, took out his phone, and had Finley record those words, fooling him into thinking that if Keira caused him any harm, he could use those words to threaten Keira.
Finley wasn\'t a good father and had gambled away everything.
But Finley was also a good father.
Connor\'s tuition fees were all scammed by him, but Finley at least never let Connor go hungry.
In this world, his only concern was Connor.
After recording, Finley told him, "I have something on Isla. It\'s with this that I make her behave. If something really happens to me, you can use that to threaten her."
Connor nodded. He wasn\'t interested in the leverage on his old flame... he just wanted to help her get rid of this man!
He bitterly pushed Finley toward the steel bar behind him!
When the steel bar pierced through Finley\'s chest, he was in disbelief and stuttered, asking, "Why, why?"
Connor sneered coldly. "You made it so I can\'t lift my head in front of others, that\'s one thing, but you should never have threatened Isla! Dad, she is the woman I love the most..."
Finley\'s eyes widened in shock. "How can you be in love with her? You cannot, you cannot..."
"Because she\'s the only one who\'s been kind to me."
Finley was stunned. He realized something before he died. Mustering the last of his strength, he shouted the last sentence of his life, "But she\'s your aunt\'s daughter! I personally switched her at birth with your aunt!"
He had no more words left after that shout.
Connor was dumbfounded at the time.
But he didn\'t have time to savor the meaning of these words, because outside Keira had arrived...
He jumped out the window to escape and then, following the original plan, re-entered the room. His mind buzzing, he cooperatively acted out a scene, framing the suspicion on Keira.
Conveniently at the time, he had just sacrificed his father, and that complicated emotional state was something the police could understand.
His confused and shocked emotions fit the scene at the time.
But after completing the statement, returning to his dorm room, and lying on his bed staring at the ceiling, he was in a daze.
There were things he dared not think about.
Yet suddenly, he understood why when everyone else shunned him, why when he was dirty and had no means of taking a bath at home, Isla suddenly appeared by his side.
She was clean and pure, and her smiling face was beautiful as she watched him.
But her approach, it turned out, was due to Finley\'s threats...
She had never truly liked him; she just feared that angering him might displease Finley, and thus she went along with his unrequited love. That was why he didn\'t dare to reject his advances!
No, that wasn\'t it... Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Connor covered his face with a blanket, tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that in this world, the person who loved him most had always been his father, but still, he was unwilling to believe it.
Later on, Keira began waging a war of public opinion against him.
He was so close to breaking down from the slurs at school, that his mindset had become problematic, and each time he sought her out, Isla always seemed very impatient.
She seemed to wish for nothing more than to sever ties with him.
The more she acted like this, the more he understood the truth, and the more guilt and sorrow he felt...
Finally, he couldn\'t restrain himself and began to use that secret as a threat, forcing her to meet him!
He thought he would be like his father, that just by revealing that secret, she would be threatened by him, but in the end, he still couldn\'t measure up to his father...
Isla knew him too well. She was aware of his indecisiveness, and knowing he wouldn\'t want both to be destroyed, she threatened him in turn.
The two of them seemed to be in some strange balance.
Yet, he understood that he was ultimately at a disadvantage.
Later, he realized that he had been losing from the start.
Keira and Officer Holly had seen through his facade and had caught him.
Since the truth of the murder was already known, how could he possibly allow Isla, who had induced him to kill his biological father, to live freely and happily outside?
Connor went mad at that moment.
He wanted to expose Isla\'s secret!!
But what he never expected was that at the moment he was apprehended, when his phone was examined and turned over to the police, he saw a message from Isla.
It showed that she was pregnant.
Pregnant for five weeks.
Five weeks… that child was his!
Connor wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
He wanted to cry because it seemed like he could see the end of his life, and his remaining years would be spent in prison.
What caused him to want to laugh was that he had a child. His child would be part of the Horton family, treated like a little princess or prince from birth, and never had to live the life he did.
And for that, he shut his mouth again.
He knew he was completely under Isla\'s control...
During this time, Connor\'s mood was always one of anticipation.
Every day, he silently calculated how big his child would be now, and how much longer until it would be born...
This child had become his only hope.
But now, even this hope had been shattered.
Isla was truly ruthless.
Connor bowed his head, suddenly covering his face. After revealing Isla\'s secret, he had foreseen her consequences, but for some reason, he felt no thrill of revenge in his heart and only a hollow emptiness.
He suddenly burst into tears.
His whole life was indeed a joke.
How could he kill his most loving father, all for a woman?!
He finally began to regret, with inconsolable remorse.
