Claire stood there in a daze, stunned by Gilbert's words from outside the door.
So Gilbert had never loved Emma. He had planned to deal with her long ago. This birthday banquet for Old Master Watson had been arranged with meticulous care, he had invited Emma and her mother for one purpose only. To catch them in the act…
Perhaps she had misunderstood him.
But from his own lips, she had heard it clearly, his heart belonged to Anila. Emma had merely posed as Anila to get close to him…
"Claire, are you awake?" At some point, Gilbert had felt his way to her door, standing outside as he asked softly.
She didn't answer.
Emma had already been taken away by the police. Claire believed that even without handing over the recording from six years ago, from the day Emma pushed her into the sea, Emma would still spend at least ten years in prison.
