Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 197

“Burn those who burned me!”

Chapter 197

Gracie’s POV:

🙂)

Brian stared at me with widen eyes; the color completely drained from his face. The entire ballroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Sharon looked as if she were about to faint as tears flooded her face.

“T–That’s not true…y–you’re lying….YOU’RE LYING!!!!”

Brian yelled as tears began to fall down his face. I stared at him stoically. I actually almost felt sorry

for him. It’s not easy learning your life is a lie. Brian frantically turned towards Sharon.

“M–Mom…it’s not true right? Tell her!!! Tell her it’s not true!!!!”

Sharon fell to her knees, crying hysterically.

“B–Brian…I’m so sorr-”

“NO!!!! It’s not true!!! Mom!!!”

Calvin’s eyes widen in rage.

“You whore…YOU WHORE!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!! You’re finished!!!”

Noah suddenly ran to Calvin placing his hands on his shoulders.

“Father!!! Not now!!! Look, I’m sure mom can explain-”

“Explain!!! Explain how I’ve been raising another man’s child for over 22 years!!!”

Jonathan suddenly turned to me; hatred on his face and in his tone.

“Is this what you wanted Graceland? To tear your family apart?”

I cut my eyes over to him and laughed.

“I didn’t do a thing. The Rochesters did this all on their own.”

Noah suddenly turned towards me. His face filled with chagrin

“That’s enough Graceland! How could you do this to us!!! We’re your family!”

“Ha! My family?”

1 sneered as I walked towards Noah.

“You people have never been my family. Family doesn’t abuse each other. Family doesn’t ridicule each other. Family doesn’t STEAL from each other. All you people ever did was use and abuse me! What

family!”

“Graceland that’s not true!”

Olivia yelled out, tears pouring down her face. Kai pressed play on the projection screen once more.

This time showing all of the Rochesters along with Jonathan plotting to bring me back to the estate. Olivia’s voice bright and chipper.

“Oh!! Big brother! Do you think I can get Graceland to do all of my homework and tests!”

Olivia’s face turned ashen as she watched the screen.

Hearing how the Rochesters were scheming to lure me back home just so I could do all of their work,

the crowd grew even more disgusted.

“How could they do something like this to their own daughter and sister.”

“What a disgusting family.”

“No wonder she doesn’t want to claim them.”

Olivia slowly backed away; her face filled with embarrassment. Brian stormed out of the ballroom as

Cole followed. Releasing Sharon, Noah stepped forward.

“Graceland…we may not have always been perfect, but we were your family. It was never anything wrong with you helping family.”

This jackass…he equated theft to assistance.

“Help? Is that what you call taking their tests as they received the A’s. Doing their homework as they received the achievements. Writing their music as they received the praise and promotions.”

Chapter 197

:

Noah’s eyes widen. Never had he heard me be so brazen. I smiled smugly.

“Or perhaps you thought doing your business proposals and then presenting them as your own so that you could get all the credit and accolades was ‘helping‘”

Noah’s face turned ashen.

“T–That’s not-”

“You know Noah, you’re actually the worst of them all. Sitting on your high horse as you scolded your siblings…but no one stole from me more than you did.”

I sneered at Noah as his words felt caught in his throat. With nothing to refute, Noah turned to Sharon helping her stand up.

“Let’s go mother.”

After Noah and Sharon left, Calvin turned back to me.

“Graceland…I don’t understand, why would you do this here? We’ve always been honest and-”

“Honest?”

Kai laughed ironically as he walked forward.

“You’re saying you’ve been honest Rochester? Your wife has a bastard son; your children have been receiving praises for the work and talent of my fiancé…and you? Tell me something Rochester…does your board know the truth about you and the Brooks?”

As Calvin’s face grew ashen, Jonathan stormed back to the front.

“What the hell are you talking about Christiansen!!! Just because you’re one of the most powerful heirs… it doesn’t mean-”

“One of?”

Kai responded with an arrogant smile. There was no clan in the world as powerful as House Christiansen.
