    Chapter 726 Endless Regret


    Neera watched as that thug limped away.


    She narrowed her eyes a little and found the situation somewhat regrettable.


    It’s a pity that I didn’t get to throw the medicinal powder at him. If he gave me that opportunity, I would


    make him experience the awful sensation where his body slowly rotted away.


    She decided to let this slide since this incident hade to an end.


    After all, she had more pressing matters to handle.


    She turned to deon, wore an indifferent expression as she stated calmly, “Come with me. We


    need to talk.”


    deon had a bitter expression on his face, but he gently nodded.


    He informed his boss about this, before he slowly followed Neera into the car.


    Isabe considered this was their family matter and she should stay out of it. Therefore, she


    decided to go for a walk.


    Inside the car, Neera took the driver’s seat.


    deon sat in the back. He dipped his head, both hands clenched tightly in anxiety.


    “You’re truly remarkable! Even at your age, you manage to stir up trouble with this vanishing stunt. The


    police are searching everywhere for you. Aunt Adriana is worried about you all the time. Do you think


    she had it easy? Must you always find new ways to distress her? Are you happy now?”


    She ridiculed the old man, and every word she uttered was dripping with sarcasm.


    Worried of being misinterpreted, deon hurriedly exined himself. He argued, “I didn’t… I


    didn’t mean to do that.”


    “Tell me. What are you trying to do? Neera pressed aggressively.


    deon choked on his words, struggling to respond, “I just…I just wanted to support myself with my


    own two hands. I have a good job, and I like it here.”


    10:35 Mon,


    “You like it here? Neera rebutted angrily.


    “Your idea of a good job is being bullied by customers and being forced to lick their shoes.


    She abruptly turned around and shot a piercing gaze his way. She locked her eyes on him and asked,


    “Didn’t Aunt Adriana leave you retirement money? Or does she stop caring about you? Do you think


    she hasn’t done enough, so you came up with this ruse to torment her further?”


    With each pressing question, deon found himself cornered and struggled to breathe.


    Pale-faced and overwhelmed, he struggled to defend himself. He was devastated, and guilt was


    evident in his eyes.


    “No, it’s not like that. I didn’t mean to do that to her, but the Garcia Group had gone bankrupt. I


    just… just…”


    He fumbled with his words, but Neera got what he was trying to say.


    Her mood had already soured from days of frustration, and his exnation only added to her


    irritation.


    Neera’s patience had worn thin in the face of a member of the Garcia family, and as expected, her


    words were sharp.


    “You just gave your retirement money to your useless son, right? Incredible! In your eyes, is your


    daughter just an ATM? Do you think you can just disregard her emotions and exploit her generosity?


    Are you satisfied when she’s upset and worried about you?


    “Listen, the predicament your family is in is entirely of your own doing! Expecting sympathy from


    others? Think again! Many might even celebrate your downfall.”


    The elderly man felt even more defeated by her harsh words. deon nervously fiddled with his


    fingers, murmuring his regret.


    “I’m so sorry… I recognize the harm we’ve caused to both you and Adriana. I never intended for you


    two to suffer. I just didn’t want to add more weight to her shoulders. My family’s in ruins, but Alfanso’s


    pride won’t let him admit defeat.”


    His voice was weak, filled with bitterness and sadness.


    “I just thought that, since I still have the capability, I could work to support myself. I’m too ashamed to


    ask Adriana for help. So…so…”


    Toward the end, he struggled to finish his words.


    Neera took in his dejected demeanor and clenched her teeth. There were many words on the verge of


    her lips, but she swallowed them back.


    After a long silence, she coldly remarked, “Well! Perhaps all Garcias are beyond redemption.”


    She inhaled deeply, adjusted her posture, and gripped the steering wheel with a solemn look on her


    face.


    “If you wish to work, I won’t stop you from supporting yourself. The authorities have been on the


    lookout for you. Let’s head to the police station and sort things out. Afterward, if you’re still keen on


    working, I’ll help set something up for you.”


    She hesitated momentarily before continuing, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m doing this for Aunt


    Adriana. I want her to have some peace of mind, free from this chaos. Let’s be clear on something,


    you need to earn your own living expenses; I won’t give you a dime.”


    Her words were devoid of any emotion, but deon’s eyes filled with tears as he took it all in.


    I have no idea why, after the way we treated her, this girl is still willing to help me. What’s wrong with


    me? Why did I not defend her and Adriana from others’ ill-treatment and put them through


    all sorts of grievances?


    He was drowning in regret and guilt. He nodded vigorously and uttered in a choking voice, “Thank


    you…”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
