"So, you're not that stupid after all-you know that my brother was the best man you've ever met.

Unfortunately, you were never sincere towards him. You're unworthy of his love!" Stefan snarled, his

fingers digging into Briar's neck. He took a deep breath, trying his best to hold himself back. If his

deceased brother knew that his beloved woman turned out to be such a wicked and hypocritical witch,

he might not rest in peace.

"I admit that I've wronged your brother, but who do we blame? You, of course!" Briar didn't flinch even

though Stefan almost broke her neck. She held his arms, tears in her eyes from the pain as she stared

at him. "If it weren't for you, your brother wouldn't have died. I would still be with him, and I might have

even fallen in love with him as time went by. What right do you have to criticize me?"

Stefan's heart skipped a beat. That was Stefan's sore point, and something he had hidden from others.

Yes, Briar was not a nice person-she had never loved Tristan and had even cheated on him, but at

least she had made him happy. Stefan remembered the first time Tristan spoke about Briar, all shy and

excited like a young boy in love. Stefan had grown up with Tristan and had rarely seen his aloof and

restrained brother show such emotions, so he knew that Tristan had been sincerely in love with Briar.

Hence, he promised to take care of Briar and Briar's baby before Tristan died. However, Tristan might

have never known that it wasn’t his child at all, and Briar had only used it as an excuse to manipulate

him. Sometimes, it was better to live in blissful ignorance-at least Tristan died thinking that Briar loved

him.

"If Tristan was still alive, he wouldn't let me suffer like this. If he knew that someone had pushed me

down a cliff, ruined my face, and broken my legs... And I'd been stranded at sea for three whole days...

He wouldn't forgive that cruel person." Briar looked up, her eyes wet with tears, and smirked. "I'm

curious. If that actually happened, would you have fallen out with your good brother? Is your so-called

brotherhood not as strong as it seems?"

"That would never have happened." Stefan stared at Briar and scoffed. "If Tristan was lucky enough to

still be alive, he would have seen your true colors, and he wouldn't have loved you so stubbornly."

"You're too naive. You don't know him well." Briar's gaze under her mask was crafty and confident. "Do

you think your brother didn't know what kind of a person I was? The place we met was by no means

proper, so he knew the kind of woman I was... but he overestimated himself thinking he could save me.

How foolish!"

"Shut up!" Stefan couldn't tolerate Briar humiliating his brother. Tristan had died many years ago, and

talking about him would only reveal how innocent and pitiful he really was. "Tell me-did you order Tess

to poison Ren?"
