Chapter 6
Mrs. Mendoza, the plane is about to explode, please put on your oxygen mask quickly. We will be making an emergency landing on the water soon!” In the audio, the crew members were anxiously reminding me.
“Alberto… I should have died…“I spoke slowly, “Thank you for your company over these three
years.”
“Back then, Layton and I were engaged, preparing to get married upon returning to our home country.
Unexpectedly, the day before obtaining the marriage license, he suddenly confessed that he had fallen in love with Lexie and proposed to her, asking me to su
their relationship.”
“Thank you for showing up on time and giving me a tender moment when I was feeling down.”
Even if this tenderness was acted out by you for Lexie’s happiness, I still have to be grateful to you.”
“Thank you for once pulling me out of the abyss. Thank you for giving me a marriage full of false affection.”
“When I discovered that everything was fake, you pushed me into the abyss again.”
“That blueprint was meant for me to fulfill my parents‘ wish and design an Art Museum while they were still alive. But you used it to please Lexie and construct a shopping mall for her.”
“Now, I am going to die, so let it be for you. I wish you can be happy in the future, without having to love her cautiously, but openly.”
“Goodbye, Alberto.”
This will be my final farewell to Alberto in this testament.
Loud explosions resounded one after another, and then everything turned into nothingness and silence.
“No–” Alberto couldn’t help but shout loudly. Bryce, standing beside him, finally couldn’t hold back and said, “Mr. Mendoza, that day, everything you said to Miss Shannon, Madam actually heard it all.”
A few days later, someone, unknown, uploaded the recording from the Black Box onto the internet, causing a huge uproar.
The Mendoza family, the McBride family, and the Shannon family all found themselves embroiled in controversy, with the stocks of their respective companies plummeting one after another, as a series of online rumors spread.
Some people say that Alberto

intentionally killed me by orchestrating a plane crash, all for the sake
Someone said, “I couldn’t bear Alberto and Lexie’s affair, so I decided to end my life.”
When I heard this news, I was already in the distant coastal city of New Island, enjoying the salty. sea breeze.
I took the savings left by my parents before marriage and bought a moderately–sized house. I also started a construction design company.
The crew members had called me and said, “Ms. Hensley, Mr. Mendoza has been having a tough time recently.”
I laughed and said, “Did you forget? I was already dead. What does it matter to me if he is good or not?”
There was a moment of silence across the table. “Mr. Mendoza had hired a private search team to search in that area for over a month. No matter how his sister tried to persuade him, it was all in vain. Eventually…”
“He was forcibly taken back by his father and scolded mercilessly.”
Oh, I almost forgot, I also have a father–in–law who was staying in Swynbank for recuperation.
It seems that this time really affected the reputation of the Mendoza family, causing the company’s stock price to fluctuate and even alarming the old man to return to the country.
I spoke up, “Alberto played with my emotions and should also bear all the consequences.”
The person across continued, “Also, Ms. Shannon and Layton had a big fight, and it seems she had a miscarriage afterwards. She wanted to go see Mr. Mendoza, but he simply turned her away.”
“It was she who wanted to take everything away from me, so be it.” I shook my head and hung up the phone.
