All Chapters of While You Chose Her, I Claimed Everything: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Helena was determined that if she managed to get through this ordeal, she would never associate with any of them again. Never.Meanwhile, the taxi carrying Kara finally entered the grounds of her luxury apartment complex. Ever since security officers had forced her out of the investigation office after her reckless outburst, she hadn't stopped cursing Adrian."Damn it!”Her hand gripped her phone tightly, channeling the frustration that continued to consume her pride."He said he loved me! He said he'd protect me! But in front of Tara, he didn't even have the slightest courage to stand up for me!" Her chest rose and fell as she struggled to contain her anger. The more she remembered Adrian yelling at her in front of so many people, the harder it was for her to accept the bitter reality.The taxi driver simply let Kara vent her anger without trying to find out what had happened. From the moment she got into his cab, he had recognized her as the woman dominating the headlines.And most o

The line went dead.Tara turned her attention back to the road ahead, her focus now completely shifted. Her exhaustion seemed to have been replaced by anticipation for what Victor intended to discuss that night. With one calm movement, she turned the steering wheel, changing her route toward the five-star hotel.She had a feeling that tonight's meeting would most likely determine their next move.And if her instincts were right, Adrian had no intention of giving up just yet.About thirty minutes later, Tara's car pulled up in front of a five-star hotel standing majestically in the heart of the city. A valet immediately opened the car door as she stepped out, while a hotel staff member was already waiting in the lobby, as though she had been informed of Tara's arrival in advance."Good evening, Miss Tara," the woman in the black uniform greeted warmly. "Mr. Victor is waiting for you."Tara gave a slight nod. "Thank you."The woman then escorted her to the top floor of the hotel. The el

Tara looked at Victor for quite a while after hearing his question. What he had asked was far from an ordinary question. It concerned a child's future.Her gaze slowly drifted to the surface of the tea, where thin wisps of steam still rose from the cup. Several seconds passed before she finally spoke. "Liora is innocent. Being born from a lie is never a child's choice."Tara lifted her head again and looked directly at Victor. "I've never hated her."Victor gave a slow nod."But," Tara continued, her voice remaining calm, "that doesn't mean I'll continue letting everything stay the way it is."Victor watched every subtle change in Tara's expression."Isn't having Liora by my side actually an advantage for me?" Tara asked with a faint smile.Victor frowned slightly in confusion. "How so?""I don't know whether Liora will be involved in the trial or not, but one thing is certain... her position works in my favor. No matter what choice Adrian makes... the outcome will be the same."Tara

"Tell me exactly what got us into this mess, Adrian," Leonard said in a warning tone.Ever since they had been in the investigators' office, they hadn't spoken to each other. Leonard's gaze had remained fixed sharply on Adrian. The resentment weighing on his heart wasn't just because he had been dragged into the case surrounding Adrian.It was also because of Kara's pleading and the tears of his beloved daughter."I know," Adrian replied shortly.The night grew later as they stepped into the private conference room of R&H Law Firm. The room was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, a stark contrast to the immense tension hanging in the air.On the long table lay several thick folders neatly arranged, containing copies of the case files, the external audit report, and numerous important documents their legal team had gathered over the past few days. Yet not a single stack of papers drew Adrian's attention.His gaze remained fixed on Leonard, who had already taken a seat at th

"This can't be happening."Leonard had lost count of how many times he had repeated those words on the way home. He couldn't believe what Helena had told him over the phone. Several times, he urged the driver to go faster so they could reach his house on the outskirts of the city center as quickly as possible.The moment they entered the upscale residential neighborhood that had symbolized the Valmont family's success for decades, the sight before him sent a chill down Leonard's spine. The lights inside the house were still brightly lit, but the massive iron front gate, which was usually kept tightly shut, now stood wide open.A vehicle marked Court Bailiff was parked across the driveway, while several uniformed officers were busy documenting every corner of the exterior of the house.Leonard tightened his grip on the handle of his cane until his knuckles turned white. The uneasy feeling that had been weighing on his chest ever since he left the law firm had now become reality.The mo
