"I'm fine, really. I just won't be able to play the piano again. But I'll heal with time. Don't fight with him over me. It isn't worth it."What's done is done. I... I won't report it to the police. I don't want to put you in a difficult position."Dorian delivered the entire performance with such "magnanimity" and "understanding." He had cast himself as the perfect victim, wronged beyond measure yet still thinking of everyone but himself.Sure enough, Amanda's heart ached fiercely at his words. Her guilt toward Dorian instantly reached its peak.'Just look at Dorian! He has been beaten this badly, his dream of becoming a pianist destroyed, yet he is still speaking up for Jacob and worrying about putting her in a difficult position.'Now look at Jacob! He's clearly in the wrong, yet he refuses to repent and remains as unreasonable and hostile as ever.'Set the two side by side, and the difference is obvious,' she thought.Amanda gazed at Dorian's slightly pale face, her heart ac

Amanda slowly began to calm down, and regret flooded through her all at once.'Even so, Jacob is the one being so stubborn! He is the one who keeps saying those vicious things over and over just to provoke me!'He has driven me to it! Yes, he has driven me to it! I have done nothing wrong!' she thought.Jacob slowly raised his head. His bloodshot eyes fixed on Amanda as he spoke hoarsely. "Tell your dogs to let go of me. I'll apologize."At last, Jacob had given in. The strange irritation and panic churning inside Amanda finally began to subside.Her gaze softened, and she lifted her chin, signaling the two bodyguards to release him.The bodyguards let go of Jacob's arms.Suddenly free of their grip, Jacob swayed and nearly lost his balance.He slowly straightened, but even the slightest movement sent pain shooting through his joints and bones.He did not look at Amanda. Instead, he turned his gaze to Dorian, who still lay in the hospital bed.The ward had fallen silent. Ever

Amanda panicked. She reached for him again, desperate to explain that she hadn't meant it that way. "I... I was just too impul—"Before she could finish, Jacob cut her off and roughly knocked her hand away. He wrenched his arm free again, harder this time, and the force sent her stumbling back two steps."Ms. Guldner." Jacob looked at her with cold eyes. "I can't bring myself to apologize. Do whatever you want about this. Report me to the police, have your people beat me again, threaten me with my mother's medical bills again, whatever you like. It's entirely up to you."With that, he turned to leave. The resolute indifference on his face sent Amanda into a panic."No! That's not it!" She threw caution aside and rushed forward, wrapping her arms around him from behind. "Jake, that's not what I meant! I was only trying to scare you! I never actually meant to cut off Mom's medical payments! Come with me for a checkup first! You're coughing up blood!"The words tumbled from her lips

Cornelius wore a dark, formal suit, his hair streaked with gray.Though past 60, he sat with his back straight, exuding his usual quiet, unspoken authority.He held a cup of cocoa in both hands and sat in silence, as though he had been waiting for quite some time.At the sound of the door opening, Cornelius looked up. The moment he saw Jacob's condition, the cup froze halfway to his lips. His eyes, normally as calm and still as a deep well, flickered with unmistakable shock."Jake?" Cornelius rose and quickly crossed the room to stand before him. "What happened to your face?"His voice immediately dropped, heavy with concern.Jacob's face was red and swollen, with the distinct imprint of a hand across it. Blood stained the corner of his mouth and spotted his clothes. He looked utterly wretched.Jacob had not expected his father-in-law to be there.He instinctively turned his face away, unwilling to let Cornelius see him like this. He said nothing and merely shook his head.How

"And what man could stand seeing his own wife get that close to another man?" Cornelius demanded. "Not to mention, Dorian's presence has already started causing problems between Jake and Mandy.""You!" Katherine was momentarily at a loss for words.In her eyes, Dorian was handsome, knew how to please people, and was a hundred times better than Jacob."So what if he has? Mandy's judgment is never wrong." Katherine stubbornly refused to back down. "Dorian is a pianist, an artist! And him? What can he even do? He's a completely worthless piece of garbage."Cornelius pointed at Jacob's swollen face and shouted at Katherine, "Shut your mouth! Open your eyes and look! Where do you think that mark on his face came from? Mandy hit him!"She actually raised a hand against her own husband for an outsider! And this is the fine daughter you raised!"Call her right now, this instant! Tell that unfilial daughter to get her ass back home!"Cornelius' roar echoed throughout the living room.Ja
