"But Charlotte hasn't forgiven me! Clint, I'm to blame. I hurt her in unscrupulous ways because I was blinded by love." "I always assumed that the reason I wanted to return in the last few months was to make it clear to her so that I wouldn't have any regrets. Also, I'll be able to see Buckley again." "But it wasn't until now that I realized I was wrong. I couldn't care less about what was going on with Buckley. I didn't care if I'd made it clear or not." "What I care about is whether she still cares about me and whether she can forgive me. Clint, do you get it?" "I tried to appear calm and unconcerned as if I didn't care about anything. But I noticed that it still bothers me. I care about it very much!" "I care about her hatred for me. I care about her. Why did she save me when she despised me so much 26 years ago?" "What I'm more concerned with is whether or not she will forgive me. Well, my life is basically a joke." "I only realized what's
In the end, Sue knelt straight down just as Charlotte was about to walk out the door. "I beg you, Charlotte, please forgive me! I'm sorry. I've already realized my mistake. I've been blaming myself for the past 26 years. I truly hate myself for being so stupid at the time. Because I was blinded by love, I plotted against you and Buckley." "But I was very young and immature at the time. I had no idea you two were dating when I first met him. I had always assumed that he liked me, but he never confessed to me because I was still young." "Later, I realized that all of his special attention for me was because I am your sister. Then I became jealous of you!" "At the time, I was constantly wondering why you were born with everything, including beauty, family background, status, and money. You don't have to put in a lot of effort to get anything." "As for me? Although I am adopted by the Dawson family, everyone knows that I was bought to be your playmate."
They even put mice and cockroaches in Sue's lunch box and tore up her homework. They would then laugh together as they pointed at her aggrieved face. What was worse was that the older boys had already reached puberty while she was still young. At that time, Sue was beautiful, well-behaved, and young. However, she disliked talking. Therefore, all of them had lust for her. Of course, they did not dare to go too far. After all, they would be punished if the dean found out. However, they would force her to remove her clothes and molest her. They would also smear their sperms all over her body. Sue, who was only ten years old, had experienced the most revolting, painful, and sinister event. Later, when the Dawson family came to the orphanage to adopt a child, they chose the orphanage's weakest and most inconspicuous child, which was Sue. She was surprised. Following that, she was overjoyed. She could finally leave this place, free from the evi
Even though the old wounds had healed, the scars remained. Would your heart agree even if you were willing to forgive Sue? Did you really believe that things would be the same after the event? Charlotte sighed and put it out of her mind. She went to Buckley's ward after packing her belongings. At this time, on the other side. Marty's friends invited him to the bar at night. Since he got together with Evelyn, he rarely went out with his friends. He would usually stay at home or go to the crew to see Evelyn whenever he was free. Even though their relationship was kept a secret, they were very content. It was the first time he agreed to go out with friends since then. His friends were unaware of his marriage. Thus, they didn't ask much about it when he didn't show up at the gatherings. They just assumed that his family was keeping a close eye on him. Marty called Evelyn, who was filming in the crew, to let her know where he was going before
"Handsome, why are you here alone? Is there no one to accompany you? Can I stay here with you?" As she spoke, she threw herself at Clint. Clint was caught off guard and embraced her. He wanted to push the woman away at first, but when he touched her body, a soft fragrance filled his nose. He was startled, a little absent-minded. Looking at the woman in front of him, he only felt that it was an illusion. Sue's frail and pale face appeared before his eyes shortly after. "Sue." He was ecstatic and shouted in a daze. "Sue, is it you?" "You still can't bear to leave me alone. You came to find me because you're worried, right?" He couldn't stop himself from reaching out his hand to the woman and shouting, "Sue!" In the noisy corridor of the bar, the woman's mouth was curved with a seductive smile. Then, she gently placed one hand on his shoulder and spoke softly and seductively. "Yes, I am Sue. I've come to see you
Buckley said with a smile, "Mr. Vale, I apologize for inviting you in such a rude manner. But I'm afraid if I politely invite you, you won't come. Also, you're not going to admit what you've done to me. So, I have no choice but to do this. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way." Clint's expression shifted again, but he already knew what Buckley had to say. But he refused to admit it. Then, he responded with a sneer, "You've got to be kidding me, Mr. Blaine. What did I do to you? You're just taking advantage of the fact that I've just returned from abroad to humiliate me like this. Buckley, despite your family's clout in the country, I am not an easy person to deal with. So you should let me go right now..." "Don't worry, Mr. Vale." This time Roland was the one who spoke. Following that, he took out a photo and handed it to Clint. "Take a look here first. Do you know the man in the photo? We will talk about other things later. What
At first, Buckley was unsure whether he should do so. The reason he was hesitant was also because of his driver. The driver had been with him for several years and had done an excellent job. Buckley didn't want to see the driver sacrifice his life for naught when something like this occurred. He did, however, figure it out later on. In any case, a dead person could not see the fair judgement. The most important thing was to take care of the driver's family on his behalf and not let any of them suffer any harm. As for Clint, the Blaine family couldn't do anything to him now, but they would get their revenge sooner or later. There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes at the thought of that. However, it only lasted for a moment before dissipating. His usual gentle demeanor soon showed. "Since we don't have anything else to do, let's play chess," he said to Roland next to him. He was the one who taught Roland how to play ches
"I didn't care if Sue didn't trust me because I was too busy with wedding preparations. Besides, my company was still in its early stages, so I was really preoccupied." "Now that I think about it, it's because I neglected her at the time, thinking she'd figure it out on her own, so that was the cause of the disaster that followed." Buckley didn't go on to discuss the subsequent incident. He didn't want to mention it in front of Clint now. But even if he didn't say it, the two of them understood. Clint's face darkened, while Roland nodded thoughtfully. "So, isn't it all a misunderstanding?" Buckley nodded. "Yes, but this misunderstanding is the result of my indecisiveness. It's all my fault." He raised his head to look at Clint and said, "I'm aware you've been by her side for the past twenty-six years. This is also why I'm willing to let you off the hook today. I owed her for not making things clear back then. Well, I've returned the favor now t
