My Brotherss 7
Antonio instinctively glanced at me, and his eyes showed a flicker of hesitation.
But it only lasted a few seconds before he said with confidence, "Grace, I told you that Celia is innocent. If she were guilty, the police wouldn't have let her go, right? "Besides, she's your half-sister, and we're going to be a family. I'll go and bring her back."
I wanted to make things difficult for Antonio, so I didn't want him to leave so easily.
I called out to him, "Didn't you say that if I forgave you, you would never have anything to do with Celia?
"My dad will pick her up. But if you dare to leave now, I'll never forgive you!"
Antonio stopped in his tracks, but he kept his back to me.
His voice sounded tired. "Celia really needs me now. I promise this is the last time. Once this whole thing is sorted out, I'll be all set to propose to you." After saying that, Antonio Hurried towards the door.
As he walked, he suddenly started running. Along the way, he accidentally bumped into a sharp decoration and got cut, but he didn't seem to care at all. 11.45

I stood there, stunned, watching his figure disappear into the distance. Without thinking, I raised my hand to touch my face, and it was wet with tears. All of this used to be mine!
His loss of composure, his madness, his gentleness, and his complete love-all of it was once meant for me.
How did the guy who used to run just to see me end up like this?
Janet's call came quickly, and her angry voice was all over the phone.
"Your dad really went all out! Those pieces of evidence could have done in that hussy Celia, but he took the blame himself!"
I felt a chill run through me. I never thought Melvin, who had always been so selfish, would go to such lengths for Celia!
Without time to think more about it, I hung up and hurried to the police station.
I asked to see Melvin, and he didn't say no.
He had looked so lively at the wedding earlier today, but now he seemed to have aged a lot in just a few hours.noveldrama
"Grace, you're here. Would you please do something for me?"
I didn't say yes or no but just kept staring at him.
Seeing that I wasn't talking, Melvin went on, "I messed up back then, and I let you and your mom down. But Celia is innocent.

"I'll tell the police everything I did, including what happened to your mom."
My nose twitched, and my heart was being torn apart by all this anger as I glared at Melvin.
"So, you killed my mom! You bastard! My mom was with you for all those years and never did anything to hurt you! She even agreed to the divorce. Why couldn't you just let her go?" Melvin hung his head, looking heartbroken.
After a long while, he finally spoke again, "I'm asking you for one thing, let Celia go. She's the only family you have left in this world."
Then, he refused to say another word and hastily ended the meeting.
I was so furious I could have ripped him to pieces, but my reason was telling me to stay cool.
I knew deep down that Melvin didn't think he was wrong at all.
He took the police to the spot where the girl's body was dumped and took all the blame onto himself.
Janet told me that Celia wasn't doing well mentally, so Antonio bought a manor for her to recover in.
I asked Janet to let them keep seeing each other. She was upset about it, but in the end, she agreed. Before the court made its decision, Melvin killed himself.

From the moment he got arrested, those so-called partners were all scared that he would rat them out.
Melvin knew all of this, so he picked a day with good weather and smashed his head into the wall.
The police called the family to come and identify the body, but I didn't show up.
Antonio went with Celia instead.
