Semua Bab Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back: Bab 361 - Bab 370

Xavier continued, "Now I get it. You didn't refuse to let me grow up with you. You chose a path for me that would let me survive. You wanted me to have an easier, carefree life. And when I got hurt, you were right there in danger too."Even now, with all that you've achieved, they still insult you because of your gender. It seems like the only way for you to avoid their malice is to climb higher, to stand at the top and look down on everyone."You wanted me to escape this life, but you're trapped in the nightmare forever. I've figured it out now."Xavier held Liesel's cold fingers and awkwardly mimicked Elijah's usual gesture to warm them up. "Can we forgive each other?"He would forgive her for years of neglect and disregard, and she would forgive him for hurting her.She was his sister, and he was her little brother. They were a family.Although Xavier only said to forgive each other, Liesel could almost read his true feelings in the depths of his eyes.Her throat tightened, a

Augustine closed in. His broad frame loomed, and as he raised his arm, the muscles in his bicep flexed. He pushed back his damp blond hair, exposing his sweaty forehead. His rugged, audacious face came into view. He was hot, but compared to Elijah, he carried a rougher, darker edge."Is it because of Ms. Sharp? I really want to know what kind of face she has that makes you so obsessed with her. Is she more beautiful than Duke Sylvian's daughter?"Augustine's hatred for Elijah stemmed from their past. Augustine had once been madly in love with Finlay Sylvian's daughter, but she only had eyes for Elijah.On top of that, Elijah had completely outshone him in racing. It was no surprise that Augustine's jealousy had turned into bitter resentment.Elijah's expression darkened at his words. With a swift motion, he grabbed Augustine by the collar. His voice was cold and deadly as he warned, "Direct your madness at me. Don't lay a finger on Lili, or I'll haunt you even in death."Augustine

The reporters continued clamoring for answers."Is that student the one you value the most, Principal Davis? I remember your prized pupil is Xavier Scott. Was that him?"Helena's expression grew darker. She maintained her composure and answered firmly, "Apologies. We'll provide answers after the exams are over."The college entrance exam began.Sitting in his seat, Xavier pressed his fingers to his temples. His head spun violently. The nausea surged to the point where he felt like he would vomit. Clamping down on the discomfort, he forced himself to focus and began writing furiously.The invigilator frequently passed by his desk. She initially wanted to ask if he needed medical assistance. But upon glancing at Xavier's rows of accurate answers on his paper, she refrained from interrupting.Still, her gaze often lingered on his bloodstained clothes, which stood out starkly in the exam room.When the first exam concluded, Xavier collapsed onto his desk. He was clearly at his limit

"Xavier, feeling any better?" Liesel asked.She maneuvered her wheelchair closer to him. Her eyes swept over the injuries on his forehead, arm, and chest, and the cuts on his face left by shattered glass. He looked battered and pitiful.The words stuck in Xavier's throat. He couldn't meet her gentle gaze as he felt guilty."Liesel... I'm sorry. I couldn't bring him home," he murmured. He tried to sound composed, but his voice betrayed him. It was heavy with emotion."This wasn't your responsibility." Liesel took his IV-connected hand in hers. Her fingers were still cold, yet somehow, Xavier felt a faint warmth radiating from her touch."We're adults, Xavier. Sometimes, we make mistakes. When we do, we must bear the consequences of our actions. It's our fault for dragging you into this. You deserve a peaceful life. I was the one who pulled you into this chaos."Liesel had thought it through clearly.For years, Xavier had suffered in the Scott family. Now, just as he was about to

If Liesel truly was the head of Shifter Corporation, it would change everything.Shifter Corporation had revolutionized domestic commercial capital.It was the first Draskian company to establish a foothold abroad. It broke into the Fortune 500 within a year and dominated the fields of renewable energy and cybersecurity in just three years. Now, it was a global powerhouse that businesses worldwide sought to partner with.The idea that such a company—one that inspired awe at the mere mention of its name—belonged to Liesel was staggering.Denzel sat silently on the couch for a long time.He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. At this moment, he couldn't say a single word. He even felt that anything he said now would be pointless.How deeply had Liesel once loved Jacob to the point of forgetting who she was?She had set aside all her glory, all her accomplishments, just to get close to him. And in return, she had received only indifference and harm.Denzel's throat
