Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 871 - Bab 880

Elias didn't utter a single word. He merely kept kicking, his expression so menacing that Mitch and his bodyguards instinctively took a few steps back.When Raymond doubled over, the next kick would land on his face. When he raised his arms to block the following blow, it would drive into his chest. Each blow landed harder than the last, striking one part of his body after another. Elias' leather shoes slammed against his flesh and bones, each blow landing with a dull, heavy thud.Raymond whimpered and howled, but after a dozen kicks, he couldn't make a sound anymore. For the first time, he realized just how ruthless Elias was. His defenses completely shattered, and all that was left was fear—pure, crushing terror that nearly scared him to death. The stench of urine filled the air, and the bodyguards noticed that the ground beneath Raymond was wet. Mitch raised his hand to cover his nose in disgust. Looking at the half-alive pig, he thought to himself, "It serves you right! Of

The middle-aged couple was in tears, grief written all over their faces. Yet, Macie still found them familiar, like the two figures she had glimpsed in her last dream."May, my poor daughter…" Mira threw herself at Macie's bedside, sobbing. "It's our fault! We failed to find you in time and left you to endure so much pain and suffering."As her words sank in, Macie thought Mira's voice was so clear and vivid that, if this was an illusion, it was far too convincing. She thought perhaps Heaven had taken pity on her, giving her a happy ending after death by allowing her to reunite with her parents. She thought that it was already more than enough.However, at the very next moment, she heard the middle-aged man choke up and ask, "May, you made it back to Maple Valley Park later, didn't you? We didn't know… We didn't know you were still there, waiting for us. "Back then, we followed the traffickers into the next city, searching for you. We never imagined you had escaped on your own… le

"May, it's me, Mr. Fowler Senior. How are you feeling?" Yosef asked softly, standing by Macie's hospital bed.Macie turned her head when she heard his voice. The moment her eyes landed on his familiar face, her eyes widened in surprise. Yosef was here too…"You've been through so much. Don't be afraid, child. It's over now. "From now on, you're safe. No one will ever hurt you again," Yosef continued. Macie listened absentmindedly, but deep down, she couldn't help but wonder, "How could I be safe? Sharon and the Hale family are still out there."Unless… she was already dead. If this were the afterlife, then nothing could harm her anymore. However, she couldn't tell where she was. Macie parted her lips and tried to speak, but her voice was barely louder than a whisper as she said, "I'm… dead, aren't I?" Yosef didn't catch it, but Mira, who was leaning close to the bed, heard her and hurriedly said, "No, May. You're still alive!" As soon as her words fell, Yosef chimed in, "Y

Looking at the Hales, Yosef said quietly, "Let's talk. I'm sure you're of the same mind."Edmund, Mira, and Elias looked at him. The group ultimately walked to the far end of the corridor. Edmund broke the silence first, bringing up Macie and Edward's ill-fated marriage.Yosef made no attempt to deny or hide anything. He admitted, "Yes, it was entirely my fault. I forced May to marry Edward to break him and Sharon up. "We signed a two-year contract that included a ten-million-dollar personal investment in Brightech Studios. I intended to give her all the dividends, but she only wanted half. "May was a fine young woman who never cared about fame or fortune. When she divorced Edward, she left with nothing but the clothes on her back, even declining all the compensation and company shares we later offered her." As soon as his words sank in, Edmund and Elias fell silent. Everything he said was true. The investigation reports they had read confirmed it. However, he truly lived u

Yosef had the bodyguard help Edward to his feet before heading out with them. "Have the doctor remove that chest brace and fit a new one later. It probably shifted earlier," he said quietly while walking away. He didn't raise his voice, but it was clear enough for the Hales behind them to hear. The Hales watched on, their fists clenched. Yosef was indirectly reminding them that Edward's injuries resulted from saving Macie, leaving them with no ground to argue.After the Fowlers left, Mira collapsed into Edmund's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Now, they couldn't even avenge Macie, because compared to Edward, the numerous wounds they themselves had inflicted on their daughter had cut deeper.They hadn't even reunited with Macie yet. So, there was no way they would burden her now with so many cruel truths. They were terrified that she might never forgive or accept them as her family.Elias, who was standing off to the side, tried his best to suppress his anger. Then, he abruptly slamm
