Chapter 426 I Knew You Would Be Back
Yuliana stared at the letter. Something welled up in her heart, and she felt a surge of heat prickling her eyes.
She stared at it for a while before reaching out to pick up the letter.
Yuliana opened the envelope and took out the letter in it.
There were five pieces of paper; the first three were for Yuliana and the last two for Jacob.
Yuliana looked at Sabrina’s handwriting on the paper, and tears welled up in her eyes.
[Yuliana, when you see this letter, I may not be in this world anymore. I’m sorry I had to say goodbye to you in this way. I hope you can forgive me. First of all, I want to apologize to you. Since your father was murdered in prison, I only wanted to avenge him and put all the pressure on you. I know I should not do this to you, but I still forced it on you selfishly. Over the past year, I have made you suffer. Next, I would like to say sorry and thank you. Jake is still in middle school, and he will take the high school admission test in one year. Three years later, he will have to take a university entrance examination, attend university, get married, and have. children. I am unable to participate in these significant times in Jake’s life. I’m sorry I have to trouble you with these. For these, thank you, too.]
Sabrina wrote a lot in the letter, the front part mentioned Yuliana and Jacob, later followed by her father, Damian.
At first, Yuliana did not understand why Damian married Sabrina.
It was not until today that she understood. Sabrina’s parents passed away in an accident. At that time, Sabrina had just graduated from university. Her comfortable life had changed dramatically because of that accident.
That accident was also the root cause of Damian’s later imprisonment.
After Sabrina’s parents had an accident, Damian took pity on her and helped her secretly. Sabrina was very grateful to the benefactor, who she had never met. Later, Sabrina found out her benefactor’s true identity coincidentally.
At that time, Damian had already divorced. Sabrina was a young woman in her twenties, and her gratitude developed into romantic feelings for the mature and handsome Damian. She silently admired her untouchable benefactor from afar. However, they later interacted because of work.
Thus, the two of them got together naturally.
Sabrina also said that Damian married her at that time not because he loved her. On one hand, he felt guilty. On the other hand, after divorcing Callie, he wanted to give Yuliana a new family.
However, things did not go as planned, and the relationship between the father and daughter only became more distant.
After reading the letter Sabrina left behind, Yuliana felt that her tears had dried up, leaving behind only a bitter ache.
Sabrina hoped that Yuliana would stop investigating the cause of Damian’s death anymore and would not pursue Sabrina’s cause of death too; that Yuliana would pretend this was an accident and not tell Jacob the
truth.
She also hoped the siblings could forget the past and live a good life.
In the envelope, there were two bank cards. One contained the money Damian left to Sabrina and Jacob, and the other held money saved up from Sabrina’s work over the year. Although they were not
much, it was enough to support Jacob until he graduated from university.
Sabrina did not want to bother Yuliana too much, so she prepared everything she could to the best of her ability.
Yuliana did not read the letter Sabrina left for Jacob and folded it back into the envelope.
She sat in front of the dresser in a daze for a long time but still could not regain her composure.
It was not until there was a noise downstairs that Yuliana quickly gathered her scattered emotions and stuffed the things left by Sabrina into her bag. After that, she immediately hid in Sabrina’s wardrobe. When Yuliana hid in the closet, she did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“Who could it be?” she thought.
Yuliana waited for a few minutes and finally heard the sound of the door opening. She looked out through the hollowed-out tiny square holes in the wardrobe and only saw a black figure. The man stood at the door for a while and then slowly walked toward the closet.
Yuliana held her breath, and her heart beat violently.
The man stood in front of the wardrobe for two seconds and pulled it open with a click.
There were not many clothes in the wardrobe. When the door was opened, Yuliana was also exposed.
Yuliana and the man outside the wardrobe looked at each other. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
That man smiled and said, “I knew you’d come back.”
Yuliana was stunned when she saw his face clearly. Then, her eyes instantly turned cold, and she stared at him with pursed lips.
“Do you want me to carry you out?” Christopher held the wardrobe door with one hand and looked down at Yuliana who was squatting in the wardrobe.
Yuliana knew how miserable she looked when he gazed down on her like that.
She said, “Get out of the way.”
Christopher sidestepped and let Yuliana come out of the wardrobe.
After coming out, Yuliana did not look at him and walked toward the door.
Christopher reached out and pulled her back. He trapped her between the wardrobe and his chest, but his eyes fell on the bag in her hand. “What have you found?”
Yuliana sneered, “What? Do you want to search my bag?”
She simply opened the bag, poured all the contents on the ground, and said mockingly, “Go on. See if there is anything you want.”
There was nothing in the bag except for Yuliana’s own items.
Before, when she was hiding in the wardrobe, she stuffed the envelope into the inner pocket of Sabrina’s clothes.
In fact, that letter was nothing special and it did not matter even if Christopher read it.
However, she did not know it was Christopher who came in.
Christopher lowered his gaze and then let go of her. He squatted down to pick up the keys, tissues, lipsticks, and other items on the ground and put them back into the bag for Yuliana.
Yuliana watched his movements briefly and turned to face the view outside the window.
After a while, she pursed her lips and asked again, “Christopher, does Aunt Sabrina’s disappearance really have nothing to do with you?”
Christopher paused, zipped her handbag, stood up, and then looked at Yuliana and said, “I came to Yrinas for her. But when I came, she was already gone.”
Yuliana turned to look at him and stared at him for a few seconds before she asked, “What exactly do you want from her? Did Mr. Hatfield send you to do all these things?”
Christopher was silent momentarily and then said, “Mrs. Livingstone had evidence of the accident from more than a decade ago.”
Nearly 100 people died in that accident.
At that time, it caused a great sensation in Juxshire.
It was Damian who was in charge of investigating the accident.
“No way!” Yuliana denied.
Yuliana did not believe what Christopher said. If Sabrina had the evidence, Yuliana would have known.
However, she soon hesitated again. She remembered Sabrina’s anomaly when she came to Yrinas last time and then recalled Sabrina’s transfer of Jacob to Juxshire and the letter she left.
Sabrina booked a high-speed train ticket to Jeahron.
Moreover, Lucinda also mentioned a man who came to see Sabrina a while ago.
Everything showed that what Christopher said was probably true.
Yuliana pondered for a moment and then returned to her senses and stared at Christopher. “Why are your telling me this?”
