Chapter 766
Gary's face was ashen, and lips were quivering with barely contained rage.
“Dad. What are you saying?! Isn't Gary your son? After what Jareth did to him,
we don't even know if he can have a normal life anymore! Instead of offering
comfort or seeking justice, you're blaming him? Are you trying to drive your own
son to his grave?!" April stared with wide, incredulous eyes; her distress caused
her to stomp her foot in frustration.
“Seek justice? How? Jareth is now the CEO and second-largest shareholder of
Fairhaven Enterprises. The board has turned their allegiance to him. Going
against Jareth would be detrimental to Fairhaven Enterprises” interests! As the
patriarch of the Fairhaven family, shouldn't I consider the bigger picture?”
Gary clutched at the hospital sheets, feeling the anger in his chest crackle like a
firestorm!
This wasn’t about the bigger picture; it was about sacrificing him completely!
Barry's bushy white eyebrows knitted together in a display of deep concern. After
a long silence, he spoke with finality, “Gary, I've bought you a plane ticket. Rest
up for a few more days, then you and your wife should move abroad to focus on
your recovery.”
“Move abroad?”
Gary felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. “What do you mean by that?!"
“With things between you and Jareth having escalated to this point, it's clear
there's no turning back. You've sold your shares and lost your position in the
company. What's the point of staying in EImsworth? To give outsiders more to
gossip about our family’s downfall? It's meaningless.”
Barry made to leave without further discussion, almost as if he feared being
caught in an emotional tangle, “Right now, you simply don’t have the means to
contend with Jareth. If you persist in overestimating your strength, it won't just be
your arm that gets broken next time—it'll be your life!”
Mrs. Fairhaven and Edith also took the opportunity to follow Barry out the door.
The once bustling hospital room fell into a sudden eerie silence.
Seeing Gary's defeat, April couldn't help point at his forlorn face and laugh
mockingly, “Hahaha. Your dad has completely abandoned you. You're worthless
in his eyes now. The Fairhaven family is nothing but a wolf den devoid of any
warmth! Haha, no, not entirely. Your older brother Kris was the only good soul,
the only one with a heart, who always took care of his little brother. It's just a pity
that thanks to you damn guys, he kicked the bucket way too early.”
“Shut the hell up!” Gary snapped, his temples throbbing with fury.
As his wife, April knew too many of his secrets.
April snorted coldly, pulling out a set of divorce papers from her expensive
handbag and tossing them onto the hospital bed, “Sign this divorce agreement as
soon as possible. You must meet all my demands, otherwise, the secret you've
been hiding for over a decade won't stay hidden any longer.”
After speaking, April left with a look of disgust, not even glancing back.
Alone in the desolate hospital room, Gary succumbed to hysteria from the double
blow of abandonment and divorce, screaming and smashing everything in sight.
Then, trembling, he dialed Edith’s number.
Edith hung up on Gary's call but then received his veiled, threatening text
message.
Realizing she couldn't avoid him, she made up an excuse to get out of her car
and headed back to the hospital “Uncle, you wanted to see me, for what?” Edith
asked with a rigid smile.
Chapter 766
“My dear niece, you've got some nerve, huh? laughing in the face of my misery.”
Gary said; “All thanks to your brilliant advice, I've become a cripple! Why should I
end up like this while you get off scot—free? It's just not fair,
is it?”
“Uncle, what's done is done. What more can you do?”
Edith quickly distanced herself from any wrongdoing. “Originally, it was you who
spread Marilla’s psychiatric evaluation at the board meeting, and it was you who
arranged for her to be taken and confined within the company. I had no part in
any of it. And without proof, you have no evidence that I gave you that report. I'm
afraid your wishs of dragging me down with you are going to be dashed.”
“Oh, really?”
Gary suddenly burst into maddened laughter, a laughter so unsettling that it
made Edith’s scalp tingle, “My dear niece, do you think the things you've done
are unknown to everyone? You haven't forgotten the time in. school when you led
the bullying against that Abernathy girl, have you?”
Edith, startled, felt her heart clench and her face drained of color:
“What are you talking about? Who bullied her?!”
“Heh. I have lived thirty years longer than you anyway; if I hadn't learned to be
cautious, that would have been a wasted life,” Gary sneered maliciously, “I have
witnesses and video evidence that prove just how terribly your bullied, that
Abernathy girl. Now that she’s turned out so messed up, I suppose you played no
small part in that, did you?”
In that moment, Edith’s heart pounded against her chest, and her forehead
turned beaded with sweat.
Back in school, the bullying group had six members, including Alston—two girls
and four boys.
It was possible that one of them had secretly recorded her abusing Marilla and
had kept the video hidden, only for Gary to threaten them and obtain it as
leverage against her now!
“If I give these to Jareth. oh, my dear niece, can you imagine the surprise your
loving brother would have for you?”

“Enough! What do you want?!" Edith shouted; her anger and shame were boiling
over.
“I want you to avenge me.”
Gary's eyes swirled with maniacal red, “I want Jareth to live a life worse than
death!”
Leaving the hospital, Edith was pale and anxious; she chewed on her fingernails
so fiercely that it seemed she might bite them off completely.
