Chapter 9

Penulis: Beloved Farewell
The next day, I received a video on my phone.

In it, Lily's face was bruised and swollen.

Immediately afterward, Julian walked into the Whitmore estate.

He strutted in like he owned the place, dropped into the antique armchair, and leisurely poured himself tea.

"Grant Whitmore, we're both smart men, so I'll be direct."

"You knew from the beginning that I took Lily. I am here today to give you the final terms."

He placed a divorce agreement on the table in front of me.

"Sign it. The child

  • No More Forgiveness   Chapter 10

    "My daughter is really fine? She has been cared for?""I promise."Seeing that Mira was about to believe him again, I lost the last of my patience.I clapped my hands.A small, clear voice rang out.Then a soft little bundle rushed into the room shouting, "Daddy!"I smiled and lifted Lily into my arms.Julian went completely still. Without thinking, he blurted, "Why isn't she hurt? I clearly told Nico to hit..."Only then did Mira react."What did you say? You told me the injuries were fake. What does that mean?"I finished the sentence for him."It means he really ordered someone to hurt our child. He just did not expect her to be safe in my arms."Then I looked at Mira."For the sake of six years of marriage, I will let you see the whole truth."At my signal, the bodyguards brought in a long-haired man.Julian lunged toward him like a madman."Nico, what happened? How did they catch you? Are you hurt?"I gestured for Mira to look carefully."See? That person is the

I am here today to give you the final terms."He placed a divorce agreement on the table in front of me."Sign it. The child is young. She cannot endure too much suffering. If she gets beaten again, I cannot promise she will survive."I did not touch the papers.I only smiled."Your real goal is not to be with Mira, is it? You came back to her because you wanted money. You do not love her at all."Julian smiled."That has nothing to do with you. Stop wasting time. My patience is limited."I shook my head."Did you think taking money from me would be that easy? You think Mira is stupid. Did you think I was stupi

    Soon, Mira's fans flooded the statement with abuse.They called me a cheating husband, said I had betrayed their goddess, and demanded that I pay her a massive emotional damages settlement.The online war dragged on for days, and the topic stayed hot.During that time, Mira sent me messages more than once to brag."See? I have a huge fanbase. I'm not afraid of you."I only replied once."They cannot bring you investment."Before long, she discovered that the movie where she had already been cast as the lead had quietly replaced her.Several brands also removed all promotional material featuring her.Her resources collapsed almost overnight.Only then did she begin to panic.She tried to incite her fans into making more noise, but even that could not get anyone to work with her again.I had not asked those people to cancel their partnerships.They did it on their own.That was how the world worked. Power respected power. No one was willing to offend me, a major business fi

    I could not help laughing."Do you think I am a charity fund? Why would I give you that?"She turned the accusation back on me without hesitation."If you don't, I'll find proof that you and Nora are having an affair. I'm already asking for less than I could. Once I find evidence and sue you for divorce, you'll owe me even more."She turned to leave, but I called her back."This can still be discussed."She stopped."But as you know, Lily is missing and there has been no news. Once I confirm my daughter is safe and alive, I will seriously consider your proposal."As expected, after she went home, she told Julian everything we had discussed.Less than ten minutes later, I received a video.Lily was sleeping under a blanket.It was obvious she had lost weight.Soon, Nora rushed in."We traced the location. I'm sending people now.""Good," I said. "Do not alert them."Another week passed.Then a viral headline suddenly broke online, claiming that I had cheated.The post i

    I immediately opened the security cameras.On the screen, Mira sat on the sofa crying in Julian's arms."Julian, Grant used to spoil me so much. He never said one harsh word to me. Why is he treating me like this now?""Men with money are all the same," Julian said softly. "Especially CEOs like him. Maybe some little fox has already seduced him."Mira looked up at him through tears."Am I not pretty anymore? I'm only twenty-six. I'm not old."Julian wiped her tears with his fingers."No. In my heart, you are beautiful no matter how old you are. Mira, he just doesn't love you anymore. But I do. You know that. I've loved you since we were kids. My feelings never changed."He leaned closer, almost kissing her.Mira pushed him away."Julian, don't. I know you love me deeply. I admit I liked you once too, but that was in the past. You're the closest family I have now.""And the other night at the hotel, didn't we agree that I was only helping you fulfill one wish? After that, we

    Mira trembled as she turned to Julian."Why did you knock my daughter's ball away? Tell me. Did you take her?"Julian put on a wounded expression."Mira, we've known each other since grade school. Have I ever hurt you?""Grant Whitmore can crush me like an ant. Do you really think he couldn't have someone edit a video in minutes?"The more he spoke, the more emotional he became. Tears slid down his face.Then he looked at me with righteous pain."You can accuse me. You can even kill me. No matter how Mira misunderstands me, I will not stop protecting her."Sure enough, Mira was fooled again.She cried as she grabbed my collar."He's right. My parents never even hit me. What gives you the right to slap me?"I shook my head in disappointment."Mira, it looks like even two slaps could not wake you up. There is nothing more to say. I am leaving. Notify me when the divorce agreement is signed."I turned to get into the car, but she grabbed me and refused to let go."She is you
