Chapter 950: Another Bombshell

Everyone has something to hold on to.

Fiennes was no exception.

No matter how weak or incompetent his mother was, she was still the woman who would stand up for him.

On that day, Fiennes did not change his words, nor did he treat Madam Wang as his mother.

Thus, Fiennes was locked up in a Quiet Room.

In such a dark place.

Fiennes began to have recurring dreams.

Sometimes, he dreamed that his mother would stand in front of him and tell him a few cliché stories. Almost all of them were about Cinderella meeting Prince Charming and living happily together from then on.

This was probably a kind of sustenance for Fiennes’ mother. She came from a humble background and thought that she could entrust her life to a son of a wealthy family.

However, the reality was so cruel. His mother gave birth to him, but up until the moment of her death, Duke Siswell did not even look at his mother.

Sometimes, Fiennes would dream of the cute squirrel leaning against his feet with a face full of attachment. Its dark eyes were extremely cute.

At the beginning, the scene was good, but in his dreams, it turned into the scene of his mother being humiliated and how Dodo was killed by him with a single slash.

That year, Fiennes was only 13 years old, and his mind was not as strong as it was now.

He screamed and suddenly woke up from the nightmare.

Facing the darkness that was even more powerless than in the nightmares, Fiennes felt like committing suicide at that time.

He had only lived for 13 short years. He was still so young, but his heart seemed to be turning into a piece of rotten wood, and there was no hope at all.

He did not know how long he had stayed in that dark room. One day, he suddenly heard loud footsteps.

The door was opened heavily by someone.

Many people ran over with lamps in their hands.

In front of them was a little girl who was only eight years old.

The little girl threw herself in front of Fiennes and almost fell down. It was Diya.

Seeing Fiennes in such a sorry state, Diya’s eyes were filled with tears.

“Brother, are you alright? It’s all my mother’s fault. Brother, I’m here to save you. I’ll bring you out.”

At that time, when Fiennes was in the Siswell family, he felt hatred towards anyone he saw.

Not to mention the precious daughter of Madam Wang and the Duke of Siswell.

Fiennes’ voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red as he shouted at Diya.

“Scram!”

Diya was immediately frightened by Fiennes. However, Diya did not retreat at that time. Instead, like a little adult, she ordered the guards to loosen Fiennes’ shackles and take him away.

That’s right.

When Fiennes was locked in this Quiet Room, his treatment was even worse than Su Wan’s.

At least Su Wan could still move freely.

At that time, Fiennes, who was only thirteen years old, was tied up with an extremely thick metal chain because of Madam Wang’s orders. He could only move within a limited distance.

He was like a pet that had been tamed by its owner. He was bound by shackles and lost all of his dignity as a human being.

Diya tugged at Fiennes’ sleeve with tears in her eyes. Diya did not retreat even though Fiennes pushed her away.

Fiennes had used all his strength. However, he had been locked in a Quiet Room for a few days and did not have enough nutrition. How could he have any strength?

Therefore, Diya was not pushed away by Fiennes. Instead, she grabbed Fiennes’ sleeve even tighter.

Diya, who was five years younger than Fiennes, saved Fiennes just like that.

…

Sometimes Fiennes would think that only his mother and that squirrel, Dodo, were the only two bright spots in Fiennes’ life.

He had originally wanted to add Diya, but the things that Diya had done recently, one by one, had hurt Fiennes’ heart.

He had been accommodating Diya in almost everything. Who would have thought that Diya would collude with Su Wan to help her escape!

Fiennes stared at the pale Su Wan in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion flashed through his heart.

He casually recounted his experience. Although his heart was still in pain, when he spoke about it, it had become nonchalant.

It was as if those things had never happened to him.

What he was telling was just another person’s story.

Fiennes’ voice was indifferent, and his throat felt dry. He suppressed the sourness that came with it.

“Later, after that youth was imprisoned for seven days, he finally changed his words and called that evil woman mother…”

Fortunately, he was no longer the powerless youth of the past.

He wanted to make all those who looked down on him crawl under his feet!

…

Although the light was too dim, Su Wan still felt a chill down her spine when she saw Fiennes’ appearance.

However, her emotions were more complicated than before.

It turned out that Fiennes’ background was so bumpy.

Even if Fiennes did not name the youth himself, as long as one’s IQ was not negative, they would be able to guess that the story was based on Fiennes.

Could it be that even a hateful person would be pitiful?

…

When Fiennes met Su Wan’s sympathetic gaze, he actually did not have that sense of disgust.

Actually, he disliked it the most when others sympathized with him.

What was the use of sympathizing?!

It would only make him realize that his situation was so unbearable!

Fiennes’ handsome face was cold and carried a hint of coercion.

“Su Wan, do you know what you’ve done wrong now?! If you ever disobey me again in the future, I’ll lock you here until you go crazy or die of old age!”

When Su Wan heard Fiennes’ threat, an inexplicable complicated feeling flashed through her heart.

It was as if she had knocked over a bottle of five different tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty.

It was a very strange taste.

If Fiennes’ childhood was a little more normal, then this young man in front of her shouldn’t have such a distorted view of the world, right?

Fiennes copied everything that Madam Wang had done to Fiennes in the past. No, it couldn’t be said that it was copied.

Fiennes was obviously more ruthless and merciless!

Su Wan sighed in her heart. She didn’t know if her brain had gone crazy, but she suddenly said something to Fiennes.

“But that young man doesn’t really see that madam as his mother, does he?”

What was the use of calling her mother?

Fiennes obviously did not expect that Su Wan would respond to him like this after his threat!

His eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was a hint of gloom in his expression.

“Su Wan, your eyes are a little similar to the squirrel I raised.”

When Su Wan heard this, she subconsciously shivered.

This threat was even scarier than the previous one.

After all, that squirrel had died by Fiennes’ hands!

Su Wan could not figure out what Fiennes meant by this sentence. However, before she could figure it out, Fiennes suddenly threw out another bombshell.

“I’m going to attend a banquet tonight. As my fiancée, you will accompany me.”

Wait… a banquet?

Tonight?!

Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. How much time could she have to prepare?!
