"Mom, have you forgotten? Quartet Enterprises was built by Audrey and me, together. She put in more effort than anyone else. When my business was failing, it was Audrey who begged people for help, drank with clients until she bled from her stomach, and yet, when she returned, all she did was comfort me and encourage me to keep going. It's not that she wasn't worthy of me—it's me, Duncan Millington, who was never worthy of her!" Duncan's voice grew louder, to the point where he couldn't even hear his own trembling tone.Seamus took advantage of Duncan's emotional state to snatch the pocketknife from his hand and throw it far away. "Duncan, this was your mother's mistake. I'm apologizing to Audrey on her behalf."But Duncan wouldn't accept any apologies. No amount of apologies would bring Audrey back. It wouldn't bring their child back either."Leave," Duncan said, closing his eyes, but tears forced their way through."Son, I'm your mother! You can't abandon me because of Audrey!" Ja

Duncan suddenly recalled the footage from a year ago.Janet hesitated but finally spoke the truth. "Heather brought that video to me. I didn't think much of it at the time. I was just in a rush to pin the blame for the missing money on Audrey.""That video must have been fake. Heather poisoned Audrey with thallium. I'm sure she had the video made too. Audrey told me she had only ever been with me. She never betrayed me," Duncan's voice found a new resolve, as if his soul had finally found an anchor."Duncan, get up! We need to get to the bottom of this and clear Audrey's name," Seamus said, his eyes lighting up as he helped Duncan stand. His son had found a reason to live again.After returning from Audrey's grave, Duncan went straight to the strip club where Heather worked.The club was owned b

The syringe never actually contained HIV-infected blood, but that secret would remain forever hidden. Duncan wanted Heather to live in constant fear, anxious and on edge, until her mind finally collapsed, driving her to a point where she’d end her own life out of despair.And that’s exactly what happened. Heather began losing her grip on reality, growing paranoid and delusional, convinced that everyone around her was plotting against her. Even the slightest noise would send her into a panic.On the tenth day, unable to endure the torment any longer, Heather jumped from the rooftop of the nightclub and ended her life.No one came to claim her body. There wasn’t a single person to mourn her passing.When Duncan heard about her death, a faint smile tugged at his lips, but an undeniable sadness lingered in his eyes."Audrey, I avenged you.

Josh looked at Duncan, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, but he eventually pressed the USB into Duncan's hand."I don’t want you to misunderstand Audrey," he said softly.

She never betrayed their love.From beginning to end, Josh and Audrey were innocent—somewhere between friends and family, nothing more.Duncan stared at Josh, and for the first time, he felt a deep sense of respect for the man in front of him. Josh had been open, honest, and selfless, caring for Audrey without expecting anything in return, even supporting Duncan in the end.Before leaving, Duncan embraced Josh—a hug shared between brothers. “Thank you,” he whispered. “Thank you for being with Audrey in her most difficult moments, for comforting her when I was the one hurting her. I know you loved her, and I want to say, Josh, Audrey was lucky to have met you during her hardest times.”Josh pushed Duncan away with a soft punch to his chest, a s

No many men could have endured what she did.When they were sophomores, Duncan confessed his feelings to her. She had been wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans—youthful and full of energy, like a ray of spring sunshine."Audrey, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?" he said.Back then, his only thought was to win her over and be with her."I’m sorry, I..." Audrey’s face turned bright red as she lowered her head.Fearing rejection, Duncan quickly cut her off before she could finish. "Audrey, take your time. You don’t have to answer right away."For a month after that, he was on edge, constantly worried that her eventual answer would be a rejection.Then one day after class, he followed her to the library.

As Duncan stepped out of the house, he realized he'd forgotten his phone. Desperate, he approached a store assistant at the supermarket and asked to borrow her phone. The elderly woman, seeing his youthful face contrasted with his snow-white hair, teared up."Son, don't worry, take my phone and make your call," she said gently.Duncan dialed Audrey's number, but it came up as an invalid number. Frustrated, he tried dialing again, changing a few digits, convinced that he had simply remembered it incorrectly.This time, the phone connected, but a man's voice answered, informing him that he'd dialed the wrong number.Panic gripped him, and Duncan started pacing in circles, unsure of what to do next.
