Chapter 678 She Hates Sean So Much (1/2)

”Cloris was the first person you saw when you woke up.” Jacob shook his head to dismiss Sean, ”I took Emily away, but I returned Cloris to you, didn't I?”

Sean realized that Jacob was talking about the ugly woman in his bed, but he refused to believe that she was Cloris. ”That's impossible! You're lying!”

”What's wrong with you? You don't want to accept the fact that she is Cloris just because of what she looks like now? You don't know what love is! You are just as superficial as the rest of them.” Jacob's cold, harsh words were fashioned like a knife stabbing at Sean's heart.

”No!” Sean cried out.

He didn't care whether Cloris was beautiful or ugly. He just couldn't register the shocking news in his brain. It was all too much for him to take and he couldn't come to terms with reality. Crazed by paranoia, he suspected that this was one of Jacob's deceptive plans to steal Emily away from him.

Jacob, however, felt no guilt or remorse in speaking the truth. ”Did you hear the voice of that woman? Does her voice remind you of Cloris? And her posture... Perhaps a DNA test will cast your doubts aside.”

Sean had the expression of a person who had found a hint of hope at the bottom of an abyss. His heart leapt excitedly, finding no signs of deceit in Jacob's words. Sean stood there thinking, his eyes focused on nothing in particular. He recalled the maid's eyes; her voice; her figure...

And it suddenly hit him. Everything matched Cloris's except her face. The maid's face was disfigured into something grotesque. Her face was pitted with pockmarks, blemished with cuts and a large broken nose.

Although, strange as it may seem, Sean didn't have any particular aversion towards her. If it had been any other maid who tried to seduce him in his bed, he might have killed them.

But for some reason he chose to spare her life at that time.

When she tried to stop him, he pushed her away... 'Yes, I pushed her down. Her forehead was bleeding!'

Suddenly, Sean paused, suffering from sensory overload. 'What if she really was Cloris? Then I was hurting my lover?'

Jacob continued, ”Cloris was in a car accident, but somehow she survived, even though she was left with a disfigured face...”

”Enough! Shut your mouth!” Sean snapped at Jacob. Sean couldn't tolerate Jacob's words anymore. The more he heard of it the sadder he got. The truth was so hard to bear that he wished Jacob was lying to him.

But deep down his intuition kept telling him that Jacob was speaking the truth, and that if he didn't go back home right away, he would lose something dear to him all over
