Chapter 229 - Guilt

When Sabrina and George did not say anything, Kevin frowned and shouted," Abandoning your first daughter in order to save the one who wasn't even born yet, what kind of logic is that?"

Sabrina helplessly shook her head and said," We didn't want to give up the child and we did what felt right at that time."

Walking towards George, Uncle Thomas asked," And you agreed with that arrangement? You did not object? You willingly left your seven year old daughter just like that? Helpless?"

George lowered his head and said," At that time, I thought that was the right thing to do." 

Uncle Thomas frowned and shouted," Can you even hear yourself? If you could, you would realise how stupid and cruel you are sounding George. Did you both think about her before doing that? Did you think about what would happen to the little one if both of your just left her all of a sudden? How could you both do that?"

Grabbing George's collar, Uncle Thomas said," She was your daughter, your first born child George. How could you let your wife drag her into that mess? You should've stopped her or you could've come to me for help but you didn't. You cowardly burdened your seven year old daughter with your mess and left." Before letting his collar go.

" We know that we were wrong. For eighteen years, George and I have lived our life feeling guilty. We know we have wronged Silvia but we cannot do anything about it. It's already done and Silvia is the heir of SPIRIT now and she has to leave. She shouldn't have married an Austin. It's wrong and this is against the rules, they will never accept this arrangement. Everything is messed up now." Sabrina said before bursting into tears.

Kevin frowned and said," Silvia is not going anywhere. She is my wife and I will protect her. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to touch her." 

There was no way he would let anyone even touch his wife let alone taking her away. He would do anything to protect her and take her out of this mess and that is why he had asked Mr Li to send Morris to London. Kevin still felt that Morris knew many things and whatever he said was not the complete truth. 

Sabrina shook her head and said," No matter what you say, she has to take part in that competition and if she doesn't win against-"

Cutting her off, Rocky said," That is never going to happen. Janet Brown and Silvia are best friends, they will never fight against each other no matter what."

Jackie mockingly smirked and said," Let it be Jacob, it's useless telling her all of this. A heartless woman like her will never understand the true meaning of love and friendship. She thinks everyone is selfish and cruel like her."

Wiping her tears away, Silvia said," I don't know what is this all about. SPIRIT, this competition, the rules, leadership everything is foreign to me." Before pulling out of Kevin's embrace and walking towards Sabrina and George.

Squatting down, Silvia wiped Sabrina's tears away and said," All I know is that you both selfishly abandoned be for your own good and left me alone to deal with everything. You have no idea how sad and heartbroken I was when someone told me that I would never be able to see you both again." before grabbing Sabrina's shoulder and helping her up.

" I had no one whom I could rely on, I felt alone and helpless but you know who stepped forward and gave me everything that I wanted? My mom and dad." Silvia said before looking at Uncle Thomas and Aunt Lily.

" They gave everything and never made me feel lonely. They gave me love, happiness, they made feel blessed. They did everything for me that you both were supposed to do. Never once did they make me feel like an orphan. In fact I felt more warm and happy with them than I ever felt with you people. They even helped me marry the most incredible and wonderful man. If not for them, I would've never met this wonderful man who loves me and is ready to give up everything for me." Silvia said.

Looking at Aunt Lily and Uncle Thomas, Silvia said," My parents have always supported me and protected me and I know they will never stop doing that."

Turning around, Silvia said," You see all these people present in this room? They are all here because they love me and genuinely care for me and I know they will try their best to take me out of this mess in which I was pushed by you people."

Holding Silvia's hand, Sabrina said," I am sorry. Can you please forgive your mom and dad?" 

Placing her hand on top of Sabrina's, Silvia said," I have just one mom and dad, Lily and Thomas Green. You and your husband are no one to me. You should've forgotten about me when you selfishly abandoned me and left." Before removing Sabrina's hand.

" I don't know why you both planned to suddenly show up today but if you were hoping that I would forgive you both and tell you how much I missed you both and also acknowledge you both as my parents then I am sorry, you both were wrong. I am a very kind and soft hearted person but not stupid." Silvia said.

" I cannot change anything but I will make sure that I never forgive you both. I will make sure that you both live with this guilt forever in your hearts." Silvia said before walking towards grandpa Jones.

Stopping right in front of him, Silvia said," And what did you tell me the other in the hospital? Weren't you the one who told me that my husband cannot protect properly? Weren't you were the one who wanted me to leave him?"

Grandpa Jones sighed and said," Pumpkin I did everything to save your parents because we had no other choice. But since everything was already done, I wanted to take you with me and make sure that you are safe."
