This sentence, she mustered a lot of courage to ask him.

His silence confirmed her suspicions over the past few days.

Actually, after hearing Autumn Duval’s words, she had some doubts in her heart, but she never dared to believe or question them.

But now, everything confirmed her inner thoughts.

She suddenly felt it was ironic that in her past life, she was betrayed by her two most trusted friends, and in this life... she was hurt by the family she trusted.

Noah Drexler pressed his thin lips together and remained silent for a long time, his handsome face growing increasingly grim.

"Who told you?" After a long while, he pursed his thin lips and suddenly asked her.

The ink-black eyes held a piercing sharpness.

Summer Shawcross lowered her head and then truthfully recounted.

"Autumn mentioned it, and then I remembered when my brother returned that time, he bandaged my wound."

After hearing her words, Noah’s expression became complicated.

"You actually knew all along, didn’t you?" Summer bit her lip and suddenly asked him.

Today, she thought about so many things, recalling the scene when her brother Sean had his accident...

Things she couldn’t understand back then, she suddenly comprehended now.

She understood why Noah had been so cautious towards Sean, why he was so angry, and made such a fuss when he saw Sean trying to take her away...

And her poisoning, he should have known about that long ago.

Facing her doubts, Noah pressed his thin lips and admitted.

"Yes."

Finally, he moved his thin lips and added a sentence.

"He had dealings with The Drexler Family."

That was indeed the biggest reason he wanted to eliminate Sean no matter what!

After speaking, he lowered his eyes, looking at her anxiously.

He was worried she would know the truth and, like last time, break down...

He knew she trusted Sean deeply, and being betrayed by someone she trusted was a weight he feared she could not bear.

...

Listening to Noah’s response, Summer’s heart tightened.

No wonder she was poisoned with The Drexler’s poison... Now it seems that the matter might also have some connection to Autumn Duval.

Autumn was so cunning, she might have used something to deceive Sean.

In any case, she couldn’t believe that the brother who had always loved her so dearly and been so gentle with her would suddenly become like that, even going so far as to poison her.

Thinking of this, Summer recalled some details from the bridge, some things her brother said in the car.

Reflecting on it, she noticed some clues. Her brother’s words were strange at the time, reminiscing about many childhood events, almost as if... saying goodbye.

"So... did my brother do it on purpose?" Summer bit her lip and asked Noah,

Now thinking back, when her brother insisted on getting out of the car, perhaps it was due to guilt over poisoning her, so... did he intend to atone with his life...

Facing Summer’s sorrowful questioning, Noah’s eyes darkened, and he pressed his thin lips without speaking.

But he didn’t deny it either.

Summer immediately understood, taking a deep breath, and then continued to look at Noah, asking.

"Then why didn’t you tell me all this earlier..."
