It Was Really Steven

There was no one in the living room when I opened the door. Could it be that Steven really isn’t at home?

I couldn’t help but frown in bewilderment. When I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed that Steven’s bedroom wasn’t closed properly. It turned out that Steven was hiding in his bedroom.

Feeling a bit angry, I strode toward the bedroom and pushed the door open. Apart from Steven, I was shocked to see Dad and Mom inside.

“Dad, Mom, why are you here? I knocked on the door many times just now. Why didn’t you open the door?”

At that moment, I was overwhelmed by confusion. After all, everyone was at home, yet no one opened the door for me.

“Anna, why have you come here?”

Steven was seemingly afraid of something and did not look into my eyes as he spoke. I didn’t have to be a genius to know that he acted strangely.

“Exactly. Why have you come here all of a sudden? Aren’t you supposed to be staying in the hospital to take care of your mother-in-law?” Mom came up to me and asked carefully.

In the meantime, Dad merely frowned and didn’t utter a word.

Since everyone acted bizarrely, I couldn’t help but recall Steven’s conversation with me over the phone. Earlier, he suddenly called and asked me about Josephine’s condition. As such, I had a sneaking suspicion that something was wrong.

“Steven, I’m here to ask whether what happened to Mrs. Shaw is related to you. Did you go to the mansion?” I looked into Steven’s eyes and asked in a serious tone.

Surprisingly, Steven’s body shivered, and a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes.

“Anna, what did you say? How could it be related to me? I didn’t go to your house yesterday morning,” Steven replied nervously and continued to avoid my gaze.

“I didn’t tell you that Mrs. Shaw was injured yesterday morning. How did you know it?” I questioned Steven coldly once I noticed that he had a slip of the tongue.

I had never told anyone that Josephine was injured yesterday morning. Besides, the exact time when Josephine was hurt was not reported in the news. Therefore, Steven’s knowledge about it confirmed my suspicion that he was involved.

“I… I merely made a guess. Anna, I’m your brother. How can you suspect me for no reason?”

Steven gave me an unconvincing reason and stared at me in anger.

Without responding to Steven, I continued to stare at him in the hope of getting more clues from his expression.

Once I noticed that a button on Steven’s shirt was missing, my heart skipped a beat. The other buttons looked the same as the one Josephine held in her hand.

“Steven, you’re lying. Was Mrs. Shaw injured because of you?” Staring at Steven, I suppressed the anger within me and asked coldly.

“Anna, I’ll be angry if you keep talking nonsense. Besides, I’m your brother. How can you hurl some random accusations against me?” Steven questioned me furiously.

Although he was loud, I could still sense the hint of guilt in his voice.

Since I had confirmed that Steven did it, what he said couldn’t move me. Nonetheless, I found it difficult to believe that the incident was related to him.

Moreover, I didn’t know how I could face Michael after he learned that Steven was involved. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Steven, how dare you continue to lie? Look at this!” I shouted furiously.

The next moment, I took out a button that looked the same as the other buttons on Steven’s shirt.

At that moment, I was infuriated and almost felt like killing Steven.

Steven was stunned once he saw the button in my hand. Then, he nervously checked the buttons on his shirt. His confidence shattered when he realized that one of the buttons had fallen off.

As Steven remained silent, my heart was filled with rage. In the meantime, Dad and Mom’s expressions also changed.

“Steven, what do you have to say now? This button comes from your shirt!” I threw the button on Steven and bellowed at him.

At that moment, I finally couldn’t suppress my anger and disappointment. Even more so, I couldn’t imagine how I could face Michael and the Shaw family if they knew that Steven was the one who did it.

Steven lowered his head and didn’t utter a word. Deep down, I hoped he could continue to deny it instead of admitting it.

“Steven, say something! Tell me that the button doesn’t belong to you!”

I came up to Steven and shook his shoulder with all my might. Steven took a few steps back because I unknowingly pushed him.

“That’s enough, Anna. Don’t force Steven anymore. It was an accident, and Steven didn’t do it on purpose!” Mom pulled me away from Steven and said with dissatisfaction. In fact, she rebuked me.

“An accident? Mom, do you have any idea about how big a trouble he has caused? How can you not scold him but protect him instead?”

Mom’s attitude irritated me. Even though Steven had done something wrong, she didn’t advise him to make amends but helped him cover the truth.

“I understand that Steven made a mess, but he didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, he knows that he did something wrong. Anna, although Steven did it, you cannot reveal it to anyone else. Otherwise, Steven will be in trouble.”

Knowing that Steven got in trouble, Mom didn’t shout at me like how she used to. However, she still wanted to protect Steven at all costs.

“Are you out of your mind? Do you think we can keep it secret after Steven caused such trouble? Michael is so powerful that he will certainly figure out the truth sooner or later. What makes you think you can keep it a secret forever?”

Given the gravity of the situation, the Shaw family wouldn’t let go of the culprit. Hence, I felt like reprimanding Mom altogether when she still intended to protect Steven.

“Anna, I understand that it isn’t easy to keep it a secret. However, the Shaw family must never know that Steven did it. Moreover, isn’t Michael’s mom safe now?”

When Mom pulled my hand, I could feel that she was a bundle of nerves.

However, my heart was still filled with rage when I gazed at Mom and Steven.
