Jone's indifferent expression suggested that I hadn't taken a knife for him but had merely tripped and fallen.
I bit my lower lip so hard it nearly bled.
"So you had the ability to protect Eden but had no choice but to push me out, right?"
I stared at the man who once promised to be with me forever.
I was the one who had been with him for three years, yet he was willing to harm me for someone else.
"What are you complaining about? You should be honored to have shielded Eden from harm. This is what you owe her!"
In response to my stunned gaze, Jone continued.
"If you hadn't stolen her position as the Green family's eldest daughter, would she have had to suffer outside for so many years?"
I almost couldn't find my voice.
"What are you saying? How could she be the Green family's daughter? Then who am I—"
Before I could finish, he interrupted me with a sneer.
"Your greedy birth mother swapped you and Eden, which is why you lived as the Green family's eldest daughter for so many years."
"Now, it's time to give it back to her."
As I watched him walk out of the room, I hurried to get up and grab him for answers.
But the movement tugged at the wound on my waist, causing me to fall off the bed in pain.
