Never See You Again

The Scott family’s estate was extensive, influential and governed by strict rules. Marve Imew exactly what kind of man her father was. 

As the head of the family, Patrick never bent the rules or showed favoritism, not even to spare Philip because of their brotherly bond. On the surface, Philip’s gambling seemed like his own issue, but it endangered the entire Scott family. In fact, it already had 

Phillip’s cheek muscles twitched as he struggled for words, 

“Philip Scott!” Marve demanded. “This is the last time I’m asking you. Did you kill my father?” 

“Yes! I killed him!” Philip exploded. “He was so rigid! Just because he found out about my gambling, he wanted to kick me out of the family! He was ruthless!” His face contorted with rage, velns bulging. 

“I am his brother! All I did was borrow money to pay off my debts, and he reprimanded mel He even wanted to throw me out! The Scott family is my home too. Who was he to do that?? 

“You got yourself involved in gambling! What was wrong with my father kicking you out according to the family rules? Look at what you’ve turned the Scott family into! And for this, you lled my father?” 

Knowing the truth was one thing, but hearing it from Philip’s own mouth was another. 

All these years, Philip had been like a second father to Maeve, but she never imagined he would betray and harm her parents. 

Philip saw Maeve’s eyes and guiltly averted his gaze. His eyes were bloodshot. He had grown up with Patrick, after all. But when pushed to the brink, people often lose their sanity. Philip gritted his teeth. “I was beaten and hung by creditors for three e entire days and nights. When I got home, Patrick saw me and demanded to know what happened. I refused to tell him, but he figured it out. 

“Thad racked up tomon in debt! I couldn’t possibly repay it. Kicking me out was cutting off my only means of survival! How could I just let that happen? 

“But you shouldn’t have killed my parents! That’s acrime! When did my father ever wrong you? 

“He gave you money, a job, and let you do whatever you wanted! You could do anything but gamble! Why did you gamble with that money? 

“Because he was too outstanding! Since we were young, when people talked about the Scott family, it was always Patrick! He was a genius, and 1 was nothing! 

“Your parents and I grew up together, but in everyone’s eyes, it was always just your parents! They were the golden couple, the perfect match! 

“And me? I was just the sidekick! I was never respected! I loved your mother, but she never even looked at me!” 

Philip revealed the secret he had buried for years. His aged face was streaked with tears, but his eyes still burned with jealousy and hatred. 

“I gambled because I wanted to make big money, to earn some respect! But he belittled me to nothing! Yes, Patrick was amazing. He was the pride of the Scott family! 

“But what about me? Did anyone ever sympathize with me? Did he ever think about what would happen to me if he kicked me out? 

“I was facing huge debts! I could have been killed by those creditors!” 

Maeve couldn’t listen any longer. She coldly said, “Philip, after all these years, haven’t you realized that those who led you into debt were aiming to drag the entire Scott family down? 

Philip was stunned by her words. 

Maeve continued, “Your greed was one thing, but your stupidity dragged the entire Scott family down. I think my father was right to kick you out.” 

“What right do you have to say that? Who do you think you a 

Fare?” 

Philip slammed the table furiously and stood up, but in the next second, Zion shot to his feet as well. 

Seeing Zinn’s domineering figure, Philip’s bravado vanished zion placed a hand on Philip’s shoulder, and he immediately sat back down in tear, utterly submissive Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
