All Chapters of Why the Crocodile Tears?: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

At the side courtyard of the Sinclair residence, Eleanor stepped across the threshold with Holden's arm in hers, dressed in a deep green dress. Suddenly, she stumbled slightly.Holden quickly steadied her, asking in concern, "What's wrong? Are the shoes uncomfortable?""No." Eleanor shook her head. "I just remembered I forgot to bring something. I'll go take it.""Sure. I'll wait for you there." Holden let go of her hand gently."Okay." Eleanor smiled faintly before turning around and leaving the courtyard. She walked toward a figure she had just spotted out of the corner of her eye and led them into a secluded corner. Her expression turned stern instantly."What are you doing here? I told you not to come."The other person looked at Eleanor's displeased face and chuckled. "What, I'm not allowed to witness the ceremony that should've been mine?"Eleanor stiffened, her fingers tightening slightly. She forced herself to soften her voice. "Watch all you want, but you have to leave

Harvey froze for a moment. The call wouldn't go through. He glanced around and realized that aside from himself and Gregory, no one else was there. None of his men had arrived outside the private chapel. His eyes widened in shock. "You set me up!""Don't make it sound so unpleasant," Gregory replied casually. "I just made you come a little early so I could deal with you first and prevent you from ruining the ceremony."The moment Harvey stepped into the private chapel, Gregory had already ordered his men to neutralize all of Harvey's men stationed outside, cutting off Harvey's backup before he could even react.Harvey immediately sensed something was wrong. His expression changed drastically as he turned to leave. But Gregory's bodyguards blocked his path and grabbed his arms, forcing him to one knee."Gregory! This is the private chapel! How dare you behave this outrageously?" Harvey growled through gritted teeth."Oh, don't you know that it's not my first time being 'outrageou

Anathea felt her entire world collapse as she stared at Natalie in shock and disbelief.Did Natalie just say Adam was in a vegetative state?No wonder Gregory had refused to let her use the phone. No wonder she wasn't allowed to go out, and no wonder the doctors and nurses gave her vague answers every time she called the hospital. Not only did they dodge her question, but they also refused to let her speak with Adam.No wonder Louie always changed the subject when she asked him about Adam.From the very start, she was the only one in the dark.Anathea felt as if a bloody gash had just torn through her chest. Her numbed fingers slowly curled inward. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably as she glared at Natalie.She refused to believe this. Natalie must be lying to her.However, Natalie didn't even give Anathea the slightest chance to be in denial as she pulled out her phone and played a video.Onscreen, Adam lay in the ICU, surrounded by frantic doctors trying to resuscitate h

Natalie froze for a moment.What was going on? How did the effect of the sedative wear off so quickly?Before she could react, Anathea yanked her forward. The sudden force spun them around, switching their positions in an instant.Their eyes locked. And in that fleeting moment, Natalie saw the icy, unflinching determination burning in Anathea's gaze that hadn't been there before.Then, without hesitation, Anathea let go.Her body tipped backward, and she fell straight down the staircase."Oh my god!" Isabel covered her mouth in shock.Everyone watched, horrified, as the slender figure tumbled down the stairs and dropped on the floor.Natalie stood frozen at the top of the stairs, her eyes wide with disbelief.No. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. She was supposed to be the one who fell. Anathea had flipped the situation completely.Suddenly, Natalie felt the heat of a hundred eyes turning on her. Curious. Suspicious. Judging.Her knees buckled, and she nearly collapsed.

The baby couldn't be saved."What?" Theo froze.The last flicker of hope in Gregory's eyes was completely extinguished. Adrian saw his steps falter. Gregory looked so unsteady, as if he was about to collapse.The lights on the corridor shone on Gregory's face, which had instantly lost all color. Those words felt like a sharp knife piercing straight through his heart.He clenched his fingers tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, his breath and blood seeming to freeze simultaneously."Greg…" Louie's eyes flashed with worry as he reached out to support Gregory.Gregory brushed off Louie's hand, staring unblinking at the operating room. "What about her?" he asked hoarsely.What he cared most about was Anathea's condition."Mrs. Sinclair—"Before Avery could finish, a nurse hurriedly came out and shouted to Avery, "Something's wrong! The patient is hemorrhaging badly!""How could this happen?" Louie's expression changed instantly.Gregory's figure swayed, and he proppe
