He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 471

"You’ve turned your back on your family, so we turned our backs on you," Dahlia gave the death penalty to Marlon for all the things he had done before. He could only sit weakly as blood was drained out of his body.

"Is there really no way you can forgive me? I will do anything..." Marlon continued begging. "I don’t want to die while being hated by my wife. I can’t bear it."

"Unless you can resurrect our deceased son or go back in time to mend your mistake, then I will never forgive you, Marlon," Dahlia said. "You murdered my son. You also did so many things to ruin my second son’s happiness. You are a terrible man, and nothing will change that."

Marlon lowered his head.

Now that Dahlia had dropped the bomb, he finally realized how much irreparable damage he had done to his family.

Dahlia saw how Marlon was heartbroken after she dropped the cold hard truth. She was satisfied seeing his regret. It was a cathartic experience as Dahlia wanted Marlon to understand that his action had a consequence.

"Tell me, Marlon. Why do you think it’s a good idea to murder our son?" Dahlia asked. "He is a perfect heir. He is very smart, and he knows how to lead the company. Just because he fell in love with a common woman wouldn’t make him less of an heir."

Marlon closed his eyes. He was so blinded with pride that he didn’t really understand what pushed him to the point of murdering James.

Marlon also saw James as his pride.

He was smart, had great leadership skills, and was a talented businessman.

He had a lot of suitors, but he fell in love deeply with Katherine.

At first, Marlon simply frowned upon it but still kept his silence because he thought James would get bored of Kate eventually.

Unfortunately, four years had passed, and his love was so deep that James didn’t hesitate to say that he would marry nobody but Kate.

At first, Marlon was angry at his son and yelled at him, and James simply ignored his old man’s opinion.

Marlon was infuriated that night and went to the study room to calm himself.

At that moment, the door was opened, and the woman he wanted to be his daughter-in-law, Sarah, came to talk with him.

Marlon took a deep breath as he finally realized how provocative Sarah was.

"It was Sarah," Marlon replied. "When I was angry at James for going against my will, Sarah came into the study room and talked to me about James’ problem."

"Did she tell you that the only way to save the family’s reputation was to kill James?" Dahlia asked.

Marlon nodded, "She told me that she’s heartbroken, but she doesn’t mind if I kill James because he will only bring shame to all of us, and everyone in our family circle will laugh at us for accepting another street skank."

"So you believed her and planned the murder?"

"I didn’t plan..." Marlon defended himself. "It was all Sarah’s idea, from tampering with James’ car and telling Penny to spike his drink. It was all her plan, and we just executed it."

Marlon watched how Dahlia was dazed for a while. He thought Dahlia would eventually forgive him since he wasn’t planning everything.

"I was complicit because I thought it was the best for all of us," Marlon said. He tried to hold Dahlia’s hands tighter, but she immediately pulled out and got up.

"D—Dahlia?" Marlon was at a loss when he lost her warm hand. He looked up to her with a plea in his eyes, "What’s wrong? I thought you’d spend more time with me."

"I will spend more time with you, but I don’t think I can’t hold your hand, Marlon," Dahlia said.

"Why?"

"Because you are a monster!" Dahlia accused. "You have all the chances to ignore that sly bitch’s idea to kill James, but you still did it anyway!"

"But it’s not my idea..." Marlon said weakly.

"You are still an accomplice!" Dahlia got even more worked up. She couldn’t believe that her son would die because of an idiot man who couldn’t think straight. "Then how about throwing me into the mental hospital? Was it her idea as well?"

Marlon nodded reluctantly, "Sarah said you’re going to be a threat to our family since you had turned into a madwoman after James’ death. I tried to talk to you, but you attacked me with a knife..."

"That’s because I was grieving!" Dahlia yelled. "My husband murdered my son. Any sane mother would be hysterical!"

Dahlia held her tears. The more she remembered about Marlon’s cruelty, the more upset she felt.

This man was frail and hopeless now, but that didn’t erase all the terrible things he had done before.

In fact, it only exacerbated the wounds in her heart, knowing the series of disasters could’ve been avoided had Marlon thought about the consequences of his action.

"Dahlia..." Marlon had given up asking for forgiveness. The more he confessed, the angrier Dahlia got.

Dahlia’s chest rose up and down as she was agitated. She leaned on the wall, crossing her arms again, and asked, "Then how about your ambush to Katherine? Did you do that because of her idea as well?"

...

Marlon nodded.

"Sarah said Henry’s only weakness is Kate. So if I abduct that woman, then Henry would return eventually," Marlon confessed. "But she’s alive, right? She’s safe. That’s why you shouldn’t be too harsh on me."

Dahlia’s body trembled as she held a lot of rage in her heart. This was the same feeling she experienced when she found out that James was murdered by Marlon back then.

"Then let me ask you one question, Marlon. Will you give your blessing to Henry and Katherine?" Dahlia asked. "They will eventually marry in the end, but giving them your blessing will make Henry feel better about himself."

Marlon’s face soured again, and he vehemently shook his head, "I will never give my blessing to that bitch who seduced both of my sons."
