After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 82

Karen was completely at a loss.

Never had she expected that she would have lost face and reputation in this way in front of her family!

Her eyes were reddish.

She bit her lips hard, and her body was shaky uncontrollably.

Before Venus said something out, Robert roared in a harsh tone, “Shut up!”

Venus held back her words.

Normally at home, she was the one deciding on all the details and trivial matters, but when things became serious like when Robert was engulfed in anger, she would listen to him.

She could only watch Karen from a distance while holding back her sympathy.

Deep down, she of course felt somewhat angry at her daughter.

She began to wonder what drove her daughter to do something so heinous.

“Do you deny it?” Robert’s face darkened.

He even raised his hand the moment as if he was about to slap Karen.

His action finally stirred the others there.

David immediately pulled Robert back, “Dad, calm down please. You are scaring Karen. How do you expect her to talk in this state?”

“He’s right. You should calm down first.” Thomas also chipped in.

At that juncture, Nancy hastily came to Karen’s side. She helped her to stand in her weakened state and said gently, “Karen, you can take your time to talk. We know that you must have you reasons, otherwise you won’t simply do the thing, right?”

Karen was completely devastated at that moment.

She didn’t know how she was going to survive in this family from that moment on.

What would their image of her be in the future? How would they treat her?

Such humiliation when she was getting exposed could drive her to death’s door!

Still hesitating about confessing the truth, no words came out of her mouth.

While she was certain she wanted to kill Hannah now, who had ruined everything.

“Karen!” Without getting her reply, Robert was once again angered.

He shoved David aside angrily and moved towards Karen, looking like he was about to bring down his palms on her face.

He was at his limits.

“Dad.” Hannah took a few steps towards him and pulled him, “I know why she did that.”

Robert froze in his steps.

His arm stopped the swinging in mid-air.

“Don’t slap Karen. I’ll tell you.” Hannah sounded a little agitated.

Robert tried to hold back his anger as he put down his hands and glared at Karen.

However, Karen was gazing coldly at Hannah.

For her, Hannah was going to play the role of a kind person after destroying her, so Karen couldn’t help but wanting to tear her apart.

“Say it.” Robert tried to lower his voice.

Hannah looked very torn.

Then, she replied, “Dad, I prefer to tell you alone.”

“I want you to say it out loud in front of everyone!” Robert didn’t want to give in.

Hannah turned to look at Venus. “Mum, I think I should just tell you two in private…”

“We are family, there’s nothing we should hide from each other!” Robert cut Hannah off curtly, “You just spill it, don’t need to care for her reputation! Let me know what kind of reason she has to do all these things!”

Hannah hesitated before replying.

It was not that she cared about Karen’s pride.

After all, she was ridiculed by Karen, so she didn’t have any reason or kindness to help her.

She was just afraid that if she exposed the truth, she would be distanced by the Wells. They could brand her as not being thoughtful of Karen’s feelings.

Other than that, what if something inexplicable happened to Karen? No matter the process, if she was regarded as the one in the wrong in the end, it would be too costly of a mistake for her and she could never pull herself out of the mess anymore.

Now that she had confirmed that Robert had intended for her to reveal the truth, she had nothing holding her back anymore.

“That’s because she likes Oscar.” Hannah spoke.

The moment she said that, everyone was blown away.

The very power of her words could rival the incident where Karen had killed Pamela and framed Hannah.

Everyone looked at them with startled eyes.

Karen’s face was drained of all colors.

‘How did Hannah know? Did Destiny tell her that?’

She stared at Destiny with an incomprehensible and cruel expression, the maid she was the closest to. She couldn’t believe Destiny would have betrayed her.

Destiny immediately sensed Karen’s unfriendly expression and she refuted, “Miss Karen, I never say anything about that at all. Miss Hannah knows it. I never say anything…”

“Get out of my sight now! Scram! I never want to see you again!” Karen put down all of her pretence as she roared at her maid uncontrollably.

Everyone was utterly stunned by her sudden explosion.

They had been just imagining how Karen would look like when she said those cruel words in the recording, but now they witnessed who Karen truly was first hand. It added to their dislike of her even more.

“Miss Karen, you are siblings. It’s not right for you to love him!” Destiny said while crying, “I have always wanted to remind you of this, but fearing you would scold me, I hesitated. I wanted to tell Mr and Mrs Wells too, but I was afraid that they too would hurt you. That’s how I can keep mum about this for so long. But now, I agree with Miss Hannah’s words. She said that we can’t let you make this mistake, and we must stop it, or else it would become something damaging for your body and soul…”

“Shut the hell up!” Karen mustered all of her strength and screamed at the top of her lungs. She pointed at Destiny like a barbarian and said with a contorted face, “When did I fall for my brother? When did I do that? My feeling towards him is one that exists between siblings! Why are you and Hannah so cold-hearted and disgusting? Why did you have to grill me like that and embarrass me? I just happen to dislike Hannah from deep down, and I don’t like to see her at home, so that was why I have instructed you to kill Pamela and frame her. But you twisted the words in your favour. Do you want to see my dying?”

“Miss Karen…” Destiny was in deep agony as she watched Karen’s flustered face, “You don’t have to go through this alone. Just come clean with it, and the family would be able to help you. Mr and Mrs Wells and the gentlemen love you a lot, so they must be able to help you to leave behind your feelings for Master Oscar. I beg you to stop being like this, please...”

“Hannah told you to say this, right? She wants to humiliate me, She wants to get revenge on me for framing her on Pamela! Hannah forced you to say those words, right? Tell me! I promise I won’t lay a finger on you. Tell me the truth!” Karen said to Destiny while being very condescending. She could not be more excited.

There was no way she could admit that she had feelings for Oscar. She was determined to assert that it was Hannah and Destiny who conspired everything together, targeting her.

Whatever, if she went to hell, she would definitely take some people with her.
