Kicking Him to the Curb のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Aren hadn't known. If he'd had even the slightest idea, he never would have left Aspen to suffer alone.Aspen took the tissues from him and wiped her tears. Her voice was choked with grief as she continued, "You don't know how wonderful my Sophie was… She was a gift from the heavens. "But I failed her—I was the one who delayed her treatment, the one who dragged her down. Even in her final moments, she'd been holding my hand, still worrying about me."It was that bastard Colin Fuller! He knew Sophie was sick, yet he let her condition worsen on purpose! He could have stepped in and intervened early, but instead, he just stood there and watched her die! A man like him doesn't deserve to be Sophie's father. He doesn't even deserve to be called human!"As Aspen spoke, a deep, burning hatred flared in her eyes.She had always been someone who loved and hated with intensity. Even after years of being with Colin, even after he had worn down her sharp edges, that defiant, unyielding core

Colin had suspected this might be the case, but he had never imagined the reality would be this severe.He truly hadn't expected Aspen to be so cunning. She had even managed to manipulate Hector so thoroughly that the latter had left her such a solid escape route."The authenticity of this will—can it be challenged?"Colin let out a cold snort. He still refused to believe Hector had been this foolish. Aspen was scheming and deceitful. There was nothing she wouldn't do. Forging a will wasn't beyond her.Daniel glanced at Colin and responded calmly, "Wills like this typically have third-party witnesses and are recorded with both audio and video. The chances of forgery are nearly zero."That sealed every possible loophole. Colin's face darkened, but he didn't argue further. He simply waved his hand dismissively and said, "Understood."The legal team quickly gathered their materials and exited the room with uneasy expressions. None of them had expected to get such a massive revelatio

"Aspen, Colin has never cared about you. No matter what you do, you still won't win even a sliver of his affection. So why put yourself through this?" Gwyneth said, trying to reason with her.Even so, Aspen found her words laughable. "The shares I hold in Fuller Group are worth at least three billion dollars. And you're offering me 30 million? Do you think I can't do math?"Gwyneth, what do you think Colin is worth? Perhaps I might have spared him a few glances for the sake of our daughter before. But now? Sophie is gone. He's nothing to me now! I own 51% of Fuller Group. If I wanted a man, do you think I'd ever run out of options?"Now that she had finally let go of her past, Aspen saw her future in an entirely new light. And it looked promising.Gwyneth was stunned.The once gentle, soft-spoken Aspen had just uttered something so outrageous and unthinkable that Gwyneth could hardly believe her ears.At that moment, she also realized something.The reason she had been able to f

As Gwyneth met Colin's cold gaze, her heart clenched with panic. A wave of unease washed over her as she wondered if he suspected something.She reached out hesitantly, tugging lightly at his sleeve. "Colin, why aren't you saying anything?" "Gwen, you crossed the line." Colin's face remained emotionless, but his voice was as gentle as ever.But the words themselves sent a chill through Gwyneth's spine. Her breath hitched, and more tears spilled down her face.She choked out, "I-I know this is my fault… But I didn't mean to… I was only trying to help you. Ms. Nicholls, she—""This is our matter. I will handle it." Colin cut her off.This time, the false warmth in his voice was gone—what remained was a warning. A final warning.Colin had always loved himself above all else. Gwyneth might have been different from other women in his life, but compared to himself? She was still insignificant.That was also when Gwyneth truly realized it for the first time. She had always believed s

"What the fuck!"Aspen couldn't hold it in anymore. She immediately cursed out loud. She had never imagined that someone could be this shameless. Colin spoke so brazenly, without the slightest sense of guilt. It was beyond disgraceful now—it was downright disgusting.In the past, Aspen would have swallowed her anger and endured it in silence. But not anymore. Now, she was fighting back—literally.She slapped Colin across the face with all her strength—even her palm stung from the force. Grabbing him by the collar, she yanked him forward, dragging him to stand before Sophie's photo."Look at her! Look at Sophie! Do you have the audacity to look at her face and repeat what you just said?" she roared.Colin hadn't expected Aspen to be this strong. But even as he looked at Sophie's bright, innocent smile in the framed photo, he remained indifferent."Even if we had gotten her treated, it would only have prolonged her life. It wouldn't have cured her. She would have suffered either
