All Chapters of Love's Redemption: Chapter 801 - Chapter 810

Lindey froze, her eyes filling with tears before she nodded. "Okay... fine. Deal."The first I heard of it was online—pics and videos everywhere. Cole had gotten his butt handed to him, and the comments? Straight-up applause. Rumors were flying that he was tied to organized crime.But I knew better. Jace sent those guys after him.And honestly, anyone paying attention could connect the dots. That's why Wayne wasn't about to let it slide.***"You went after Cole? What's your problem?" Wayne's voice was razor-sharp. "You think you're invincible or just bored with life?"Jace just smirked. "Maybe. I mean, that fire didn't kill me."Wayne stiffened at that but didn't bite. "I've got a place for you to lay low. Thorsten's not going to let this go."Jace stretched out lazily on the couch, shirt half-unbuttoned, legs up on the coffee table like he owned the world. "Let him come."Wayne snorted. "You're delusional if you think Dad can protect you like before. Thorsten's done giving h

"The investigation cleared the hospital and Dr. Dale. She's back, but..." Lena hesitated before continuing. "She's been transferred to another hospital."No wonder I hadn't seen her in the days I'd been here. "Because of the incident?""Even though they found no connection between her actions and the patient's death, the public doesn't care. All they see is someone died on her watch, so they blame her. The pressure was too much." She shook her head, her tone bitter. "Public opinion? It's a wrecking ball. It can destroy someone overnight."Her words hit differently—I knew this wasn't just about Dr. Dale. Lena had dealt with her fair share of blame and accusations over the years too.I reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. "I'm sorry you've had to deal with that."Lena gave me a faint smile, but her eyes were sad. "Life's not fair, Rea. Everyone faces their own kind of injustice."She wasn't wrong. Everyone thinks their pain is the worst, never realizing just how many ways the

This car was the Johnston family's prized relic, full of sentimental value—but for Wayne, it was a constant reminder of the resentment that had festered between him, his parents, and Jace. If Wayne had hidden Jace anywhere, it had to be here.I stepped closer, noticing fresh smudges in the dust on the door. Someone had been here recently.I was right."Jace," I called softly, reaching for the door handle.Locked. Of course, it wouldn't open.Swiping the dust off the window, I peered inside. My breath caught. Jace was sprawled across the backseat, tied up and completely still."Jace! Jace!" I yelled, louder this time.No response. He wasn't moving. Wayne must've knocked him out.My stomach churned. Wayne had truly lost it.There was no time to hunt down the keys. My eyes darted around until they landed on a fire extinguisher in the corner. Without thinking, I grabbed it and slammed it into the window with all my strength.Nothing. The glass barely cracked.Two heavy blows, an

"If Lena hadn't stuck her nose where it didn't belong, we wouldn't even be here," Wayne grumbled, clearly trying to wrap this up. "Take her and leave. End of story."Aaron just smiled. "So that's how you handle things? Snatch someone up whenever you feel like it, then pretend it's no big deal when you let them go?"Wayne knew Aaron wasn't here just for Lena—this was about more than her.Both of them were playing it cool, trying to keep things from blowing up, but Wayne was clearly hoping Aaron would take the hint and back off.Too bad for Wayne—Aaron wasn't going anywhere.Wayne finally sighed, sizing up his options. With Cole gone and Jace refusing to back him, Wayne knew he didn't have much leverage. Last thing he needed was to tick off someone like Aaron Ace."What do you want from me? An apology?" Wayne muttered, taking a small step back.Aaron just glanced at Lena. "Not my call. You should be asking her."Wayne's face twisted like he'd swallowed a lemon. He hated being hum

Aaron bowed respectfully in front of Matthew's portrait, his expression so solemn it almost had me fooled into thinking he was here purely to pay respects.But after the whole car garage showdown? Yeah, this was definitely more than a funeral visit."Mom," Jace said softly, stepping up to Lindey.She barely looked at him, her eyes glassy with tears. "Go change and stay by my side for the memorial," she murmured.Jace, looking steadier now, left to change. When he came back, fresh and composed, he quietly stood by her side, the picture of a dutiful son.The room wasn't exactly packed, though. Makes sense—when a family's power crumbles, the people who once flocked around them tend to scatter.The Johnston empire had been on a downhill slide ever since Jace handed the reins to Wayne. And with Wayne's sketchy dealings with the Dragos? Let's just say people were keeping their distance.After all, Matthew was already gone. Paying respects or not wouldn't change anything.When Aaron f
