How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 851

Back then, young and spirited, he had faced the camera and said, "You're an adult now, so I won't hold it against you for calling me old. Since you seem to be afraid of me, I sent you a bouquet of yellow roses anonymously. Elodie, happy graduation."

It was clear he was annoyed, yet indulgent, a posture full of youthful arrogance.

The video shifted again.

It was still a solo recording, but this time he looked genuinely angry, his brows tightly knitted. "You threw my kindness right back in my face. I flew all the way back from another country for your graduation ceremony, and the flowers I sent you? You thought your brother sent them. He's not even in town, how could he have sent them? Then you turned around and gave the flowers away to your classmates. Did you even bother to look at the card?"

This was a Jarrod Silverstein no one had ever seen before.

They were too stunned to react.

Even Maurice Nilsson thought he was seeing things in broad daylight.

The scene changed once more.

Another solo monologue.

"September 27th. Ran into that illegitimate daughter of the Harcourt family at the hospital, stirring up trouble. You got into a huge fight with your dad, which sent your mom into shock. Why are you crying now that she's gone? Elodie, you're so damn stubborn. When you're treated unfairly, why be so obstinate? You should have gone up and slapped each of them across the face to see if it hurt. Forget it. To help you vent a little, making the Harcourt family lose a few projects isn't hard."

"I also happened, by pure coincidence, to be giving a guest lecture at your university. You were sitting in the fifth row and fell asleep as soon as you got there. I was up on stage talking my heart out, and you didn't pay any attention. The moment you opened your eyes, some guy was hitting on you. You just started university, shouldn't you be studying instead of thinking about romance? Also, you really need to work on your taste in men."

Listening to Jarrod's recorded monologue at the wedding, the crowd couldn't help but chuckle at this part.

"Grandpa retired today. We met again, and you put on that professional fake smile. Grandpa is quite pleased with you. So am I."

"I found out you're also studying aerospace engineering. I had more scholarships than I knew what to do with, and a bit of savings, so donating an aerospace research lab to your school wasn't too difficult."

"Today, Maurice said you're very beautiful. I wanted to gouge his eyes out, but he was right."

Maurice, who had been smiling as he watched the videos, felt his smile freeze on his face. "…"

He had to hand it to Jarrod. Could the man be any more secretive? Back then, Jarrod had been smiling at him, but apparently, he was plotting to remove his eyeballs.

The video continued.

"Elodie Thorne, I don't think you're ever going to love me."
