Chapter 2099: Chapter 2099: Despair
Yet for herself, this adoptive mother still acted this way.
She never would have thought that Madam Aisha truly regarded her as a biological daughter.
Jun Yiyi was very moved, but more than that, she was anxious; Madam Aisha’s exchange as a price was not a wise choice. In such a sensitive political climate, publicly exposing Governor Yun and saying such controversial words would make her a target for attack, revenge, or even assassination by Governor Yun’s faction.
Secondly, even the Councilman would probably not easily let go of her as a pawn. After all, this lecture was a deal, not an upright act. If discovered, the Councilman’s advantage would turn into a disadvantage and he would be seen as the mastermind behind it all.
A smart politician would never let such a dangerous situation arise. Thus, a greater possibility would be to completely control the mother and daughter, with the more terrifying option being to kill and silence her, then conveniently frame Governor Yun for the blame, completely freeing himself.
How could Madam Aisha possibly contend against the Councilman?
Jun Yiyi gave a bitter smile.
Madam Aisha smiled wanly, "Some might question the truth of my words, saying I am slandering my ex-husband, but at this point, is there any need for me to lie? I have long been a woman with nothing. I only hate myself for entrusting my life to a man who never truly loved me. I hate myself even more for vaguely sensing the clues and yet refusing to face them, deceiving myself."
"That man made my life so miserable, yet I do not blame him, because I was too foolish, willingly falling in love and willingly deceived. But the one thing I cannot forgive is that he harmed my father. I am ashamed before the father who loved me dearly. As his daughter, I couldn’t bring him to justice. As his daughter, I invited a wolf into the house, harmed my father; the one who truly killed my father is me."
Madam Aisha’s eyes were brimming with tears, her voice filled with extreme anguish and self-reproach.
Jun Yiyi felt distressed upon seeing this; for her adoptive mother, living a life in lies without knowing the truth might have been happier than fully understanding everything now, because she was too kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and would bear all sins on herself.
"Some may question the authenticity of everything I said today, I don’t want to explain anymore, there’s just a saying." Madam Aisha paused, slowly spat out, "The words of a dying person are good; a dead person’s words require no explanation."
These words suddenly entered their ears like a thunderclap exploding, leaving many people stunned and unable to react.
Jun Yiyi’s pupils instantly expanded, her body stiff and trembling.
With a bang, the unexpected gunshot plunged the square into a deathly stillness, where everyone seemed dumbfounded by the gunshot. Only the bodyguards below the stage rushed onto the stage swiftly, heading towards Madam Aisha.
And following that gunshot, Madam Aisha fell to the ground, blood gushing from her chest, staining a large area of her clothing.
Some citizens screamed and shouted in panic, thinking she had been attacked, but Jun Yiyi felt suffocation in her chest, unable to breathe, her trembling gaze fixed on her hands, where she held a very small gun. Just now, in that moment, she clearly saw she had committed suicide!
Why did it come to this, why did she commit suicide!
Jun Yiyi’s lips trembled, her eyes empty as she gazed at the blood-soaked Madam Aisha, her soul seemingly sucked away, unable to move a step.
And Madam Aisha, as if sensing her shocking and despairing gaze, raised her head with difficulty from the pool of blood to look at her, her lips moved with difficulty.
