    Chapter 226 Not Too Late Now


    While Lysander was checking in at the front desk, she ordered a meal, asking them to bring it up as


    soon as possible.


    It was no secret that the dining options at the hotel were notoriously overpriced and, frankly, the quality


    rarely matched the expense.


    Yet, as Prisci voraciously devoured her pasta, there was an undeniable twinge of emotion in


    Lysander’s gaze.


    Here was Prisci, the only daughter of the prestigious director of Central Hospital, a woman raised


    amidst privilege, now seeming to have strayed far from her refined upbringing.


    Following their meal, Lysander thoughtfully provided her with a cup of warm water. It was only then that


    Prisci began to slowly unravel the series of events that had transpired over the recent days.


    Their conversation turned to Harry, who despite being a former student of Apex University and a


    ime prospect of its esteemed Journalism Department, had a checkered past.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Officially, he was rmended for enrollment but neverpleted his studies due to a disciplinary


    action that resulted in a forced withdrawal during his junior year, with the reasons for his departure


    starkly


    noted in his academic records.


    With a cold sneer and a hollowugh, Prisci disdainfully uttered the damning word to exin his exit,


    “Rape.”


    While at Apex University, Harry had fervently pursued a young woman known widely as the most


    beautiful female student in the department. She was a local, her father a prominent figure in the foreign


    trade sector, owning multiple properties in Apex City and possessing connections within the political


    sphere.


    Despite hermitted rtionship with a fellow honor student from a neighboring university, Harry’s


    relentless pursuit only intensified.


    Tragedy struck at a get–together held in a KTV private room where excessive alcohol led to dire


    consequences. The next morning found Harry and the girl in apromising state of undress.


    Prisci revealed, “I only discovered this recently myself. He assured the girl that ‘what’s done is done


    and pledged to take responsibility. He even promised to apologize to her family and treat her right.


    Haha, what he really wanted was for her father to secure him a ce in Apex City!”


    Lysander handed her the cup of water, urging. “Drink some water.”


    Prisci epted the cup but merely held it, chuckling deeply, “But the girl was cleverer than I was; she


    contacted the police immediately. They gathered evidence from her body, and the rape usation was


    solidified! Apex University couldn’t risk the scandal, so they sent out a disciplinary notice three days


    later and encouraged him to withdraw. His family’s background is poor, hecks education, and he


    couldn’t possibly seed in Apex City, so he ended up returning in shame to my mother–inw’s


    hometown, where I reside now.”


    Prisc raised her head, “Over the years, he’s tried his hand at various ventures, experimenting in

    Harry was repeating his past behaviors, but at that time. Prisci was deeply in love and unaware that


    she was walking into a trap. She became pregnant before their marriage, they registered the marriage


    shortly thereafter and then conducted their wedding ceremony.


    It wasn’t until the dust had settled that…


    “Lysander, I should have heeded your advice back then, terminated the pregnancy, and broken things


    off with him!” Prisci said.


    “It’s not toote yet, if you consent, I can assist you with the procedure.”


    With tears in her voice, Prisci confessed. “The child can be aborted, but obtaining a divorce isn’t so


    simple. Now there’s a cooling–off period required for divorces. Without his cooperation, I can’t get a


    divorce at all.”


    Lysander quickly asked, “What are his demands?”


    “Everything that’s in my name, and half of what’s under my father’s name.”


    Lysander gasped in astonishment.


    Fred had parted with nearly half his assets as a dowry to marry off his only daughter. Harry not only


    consumed his wife’s entire dowry but also demanded half of his father–inw’s personal savings,


    which were intended for his own funeral costs!
