Chapter 885: Do you know how your mom ended up in prison? 4 Chapter 885: Do you know how your mom ended up in prison? 4 Watching Victoria Garcia’s utterly heartbroken expression, Alexander Mitchell’s heart ached too.
“Victoria, I don’t know why Arnold Johnson would do this, but I do know that it was Johnson who approached you initially. What exactly you two discussed, I am not privy to, but you are very clear on that. After that conversation, your mother was released,” Alexander said calmly, “Think hard if there’s any sort of conspiracy at play here.”
Victoria Garcia burst into sobs, collapsing into tears.
Her crying was stifled and suppressed.
Seeing her like this, without thinking, Alexander wrapped Victoria in his arms, comforting her softly, “Victoria, don’t cry!”
“When I learned the truth about this, I hesitated whether to tell you or not, considering you’re getting married tomorrow. Regarding this matter, I have no ulterior motives; I just want you to understand the truth before you make your decision. Whatever you decide, I will support you.”
Victoria Garcia kept sobbing.
All the questions she couldn’t comprehend, she finally began to understand.
After crying for a long time, Victoria gradually calmed down. Then she leaned her head against the back of the long bench, looking up at the night sky, surprised to see both a moon and stars. It was truly rare.
“That night I came to you, hoping you could help me. Instead, I saw you with Miss Field, and you introduced her as your girlfriend. You also declined to help me. I was in despair, not knowing how to rescue my mother. After you left, someone took me to meet a person who they claimed could save my mother.”
“I didn’t think too much then; I just felt that if there was hope, I should fight for it. Then I met Arnold Johnson. It was the second time I’d met him, and I didn’t have a good impression of him. But he said he could help save my mother, with the condition that I marry him. I didn’t agree at first, but the next day I did because I didn’t know who else to turn to.”
Victoria Garcia spoke very calmly.
At that moment, Alexander also said softly, “When your mother was in trouble, I asked my uncle for help, but he wouldn’t let me get involved. My mother then promised me that if you asked three times, she would agree to help save your mother and also agree to let us date. In fact, all this had been premeditated because my uncle had already colluded with Arnold Johnson; my mother was just leading me on.”
“Less than six months after your mother’s incident, my uncle was promoted. Arnold Johnson’s handiwork was behind that event,” Alexander said with a cold laugh. “I was truly naïve back then. Thinking about it now, no matter whom you pleaded with, no one would have helped you because it was all a scheme designed by Johnson, with the goal of making you turn to him, so he could possess you.”
“Did he go through such scheming just to have you after meeting you only once? Or is it for some other reason? Do you know?”
Victoria Garcia naturally understood Alexander’s question.
In the past, she might have been puzzled, but ever since Chloe Johnson had found her, everything started to connect.
“Because I look exactly like a woman Arnold Johnson once loved who is now dead. After seeing me, he wanted to find the shadow of his past lover in me,” Victoria said with a laugh, though her smile was very cold and detached.
This was indeed a grand chess game, and they were merely pawns in Arnold Johnson’s play.
