Rogue

Edward admired the despairing expressions on Meghan’s and George’s faces for a moment.

Then, he put away his phone

After that, he picked up the dagger he had pur aside.

He said. “You two haven’t eaten anything for two days. You must be hungry, right?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

They had been starving ages ago,

But they felt fear and despair more than anything. So, even if they were hungry, they dared not make a sound.

Now that Edward was taking the initiative to mention it, Meghan and George subconsciously swallowed.

“Would you like to eat something“” Edward asked with a half–smile.

Meghan said hurriedly, Tm starving. Eddie. Please give me something to eat. I’m already injured, so If I don’t eat anything now, I won’t be able to hold out much longer

She even pitifully shed some tears, hoping to arouse his sympathy

Edward nodded agreeably, saying, “Alright. Since you asked hrit, you get to eat first”

Meghan cried in joy. “Thank you, Eddie. I swear I won’t forget your kindness to mel”

She thought that Edward wouldn’t want to kill them

If he wanted to do it, he would have done it already. He wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of getting them out.

Also, he wouldn’t care whether they were hungry or not

He must

be worried that if he let them go, they would call the police to retaliate against him and Bethany.

Edward hadn’t calmed down enough for now, so even if they assured him, he wouldn’t believe them.

After they had assured him a few more times, Edward would believe that they wouldn’t call the police. Then, he would let them go.

They just needed to stay alive and wait!

Meghan was full of hope as her eyes lit up.

However, she fell into despair in the next second…..

George’s scream was so loud that it almost shattered Meghan’s cardrums.

Meghan’s eyes widened in horror, and her body trembled violently.

She couldn’t believe what Edward was doing.

Her mind couldn’t even form a complete thought. ‘He….. He‘……‘

After a while, Edward stood up a

and walked over to her.

“Ah… How could you do this to me! I’m your father…” George was still screaming.

Edward ignored George’s screams and questions.

He carefully cut the flesh into small pieces. Then, he held a piece to Meghan’s mouth.

He said gently, “I know you like to eat in small bites. I’ve already helped you cut the meat into your preferred size, so go ahead and dig in”

Meghan’s whole body was trembling, and her face turned pale as paper. She fearfully looked at Edward, who had a calm expression on his face.

She thought, “No.. I don’t want to eat anymore!‘

Edward’s eyes turned cold as he said, “I wasted so much time cutting it for you, but you’re not going to ear it?”

“Boo–hoo.” Meghan’s mouth was closed as she let out a pained cry. She looked at him pleadingly, hoping that he could

Edward said, “Don’t let me down. You don’t want me to get angry

spare

her.

He didn’t mention the consequences of his wrath, but his cold eyes were enough to shock Meghan.

Meghan’s intuition told her that if she didn’t listen to Edward, the consequences would be even worsel

Under Edward’s cold gaze, Meghan trembled as she opened her mouth.

“Don’t spit it out,” Edward said.

Edward’s simple words frightened Meghan so much that she bit her lip firmly, not daring to spit it out.

When Meghan recovered her senses, Edward said again, “Now, it’s time to feed Dad

Meghan’s eyes widened.

Before she could beg for mercy, she felt severe pain…

“Ah. Help… Just end me… I’m begging you, just end my life… she pleaded.

However, no matter how desperate their pleas were, Edward still went ahead with his plan

Ten days later, George and Meghan were still alive.

But their bodies were injured, and they were on the brink of death,

Edward had removed the ropes binding them a long time ago, but even if they weren’t bound anymore, they couldn’t move

They were delirious, and their thoughts became muddled.

“End me… Please just end me… Please free me from this hell I’m in so much pain. It hurts everywhere… I don’t want to live anymore. Please… End ΠΕ they kept muttering.

Edward walked up to them and then crouched down in front of them. Opening a bottle of water, he poured it over their faces

Sobering up, they saw Edward’s face. Both of them had fearful expressions on their faces as they trembled.

“I know a secret about you two. Do you want to know what it is!” Edward said slowly.

The only thing George and Meghan felt was fear toward Edward. They had no other desires.

Chuckling, Edward said, “You won’t be alive for long. I guess I’ll tell you in person while you’re still alive”

The two w

Two were still filled with fear

Edward looked at George and asked, “Do you know why a housekeeper was capable of secretly switching out the real daughter of the Gallagher family?*

George kept trembling and didn’t answer.

Edward didn’t need an answer, anyway. He continued, “Because it was an operation instructed by Grandpa Grandpa covered for her so that she could deceive everyone and secretly swapped Evangeline with Meghan.”

George’s eyes suddenly widened,

He thought, ‘How is that possible? Why would he do that?

Edward asked, “Are you curious about why Grandpa did that! It’s not that hard to guess. It’s because Meghan is Grandpa’s daughter, which means that she’s also your biological half–sister.”

George widened his eyes, which were full of shock and disbelief.

“What… How is that possible?” George painstakingly asked.

He thought, How could Meghan be my sister? If Meghan is my sister, then we would’ve….

George panted heavily as his face turned pale.

He thought. No… I shouldn’t be like this… How can I die an honorable death after this?”

“It can’t be true… You’re lying. It’s not true… Meghan also said with difficulty.

She couldn’t accept the truth either.

Edward said, “Now that things have come to this point, why would I even lie to you? Do you know why Grandpa gave so many shares to Evangeline? That’s because Evangeline knows about this secret. On top of that, she discovered an even bigger secret. If that secret is exposed, the entire Gallagher family will be done for. That’s why Grandpa willingly gave up his money and life to beg Evangeline not to expose that secret.”

Edward’s grandfather didn’t die of natural causes

He had ended his own life.

Only he and Evangeline knew the secret

Six months after Evangeline returned home, Edward’s grandfather suddenly ended his own life by carbon monoxide poisoning. Everyone in the family thought that it was an accident.

But Edward knew that his grandfather had ended his own life to silence Evangeline.

After all, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Evangeline and his grandfather.

Back then, his grandfather got down on his knees and pleaded with Evangeline. Evangeline had requested that the shares in his hand be transferred to her and that he should be dead within three days.

Otherwise, she would expose the secret to the public.

Edward had been faking ignorance, and he never thought of saving his grandfather.

But now,

he felt that George and Meghan should know about their relationship before they died.

“That’s not true. It can’t be true…

“Ah. Edward, please just end me. I don’t want to live anymore.

They were miserable and in despair. They couldn’t accept the truth at all.

Edward was silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, “I originally wanted to end you guys, but now, I suddenly feel like death is only a form of release for you.”

George and Meghan were both frightened and desperate,

In their current condition, they couldn’t walk, turn over, eat, or even relieve themselves.

There was no point for them to stay alive.

At first, they kept hoping to survive, but at that moment, they were desperate for death,

Edward said, “This is your retribution, Dad, you should be aware of all the bad things you’ve done. And Meghan, have you forgotten the two girls you killed in high school because of jealousy? The parents of those girls refused to accept the compensation, and they suddenly disappeared. Dad, you must have arranged for someone to deal with them, right?”

Meghan and George widened their eyes in horror.

They couldn’t believe that Edward knew about this.

Edward continued, “I know almost all the secrets of everyone in the Gallagher family. As long as they aren’t involved in the financial aspect of the „family, I’ll choose to ignore them.”
