Chapter 775 A Chance For Redemption
Kareen chuckled dismissively. “Nice try to persuade me. Unfortunately, it falls short.”
Turning her bead, she cast a challenging nce at Cherise. “But I’ll only believe it if you can prove that
the recording is my brother’s voice and not a fake or clever imitation.
Cherise felt anger coursing through her, causing her temples to throb. Taking a deep breath, she locked
eyes with Kareen, “You’re making this much more difficult than necessary!”
Kareen turned away, fatigue and sadness etching lines on her wless face. “Well, who started this
mess?”
She looked back at Cherise and said defiantly. “Whatever happens in the Miles family will be resolved
among ourselves. We don’t need outsiders to interfere. I can take care of my brother. So, keep your
unsolicited advice to yourself. I’m done with your nonsense!”
Her gaze then swept across Lyra’s face, a coldness settling in her eyes. “I already told you that you will
not see my brother again, and I stand by that.”
Kareen stormed out, leaving an oppressive silence in the air.
Biting her lips, Cherise grappled with a sense of helplessness against Kareen’s stubborn
determination.
Cherise found herself faltering under Kareen’s steady gaze and resolute demeanor. For a moment, she
was unexpectedly unsure of what to do. She had always assumed that Lyra’s struggles with Kareen
stemmed from her timid nature. But now, faced with Kareen’s unwavering resolve, Cherise felt a flicker
of doubt.
After all, Zachary and Kareen were siblings by blood, and an outsider couldn’t easily rece the
significance they held for each other.
In a silent gesture of support, she squeezed Lyra’s hand. “Don’t give up just yet. There’s always a
way.”
Just as their hope seemed to fade, a chillingly familiar voice cut through the silence. “Wait a second.”
Damien stood behind her, arms folded, gaze fixed on Kareen’s retreating figure. “What if I could offer
you and your brother a chance to regain the favor of the Miles family? A chance to tame your
stepmother and half-brother? Would you be willing to listen to us?”
Kareen’s body stiffened before she turned, “You? Solve our family’s problems?” she scoffed.
She and Zachary had been marginalized within the Miles family for far too long.
Their mother’s tragic death had barely been mourned before Walter married Patricia, who then gave
birth to Chad within a mere six months. It further solidified Kareen and Zachary’s exclusion from their
rightful ce in the family.
Since then, Zachary and Kareen, siblings by blood, fell out of favor within the Miles family.
If it weren’t for Charisa, whoter became the head of the family and took them under her wing, Kareen
wouldn’t be the woman she is today. But with Charisa gone, they were all alone, Zachary was Kareen’s
only pir of support, and now…
“Yes, I can.” Damien assured with a smile, “Ms. Miles, how about we sit down and discuss this? I

can help you resolve the issues within the Miles family and your stepmother. In return, I ask for your
respect towards your brother and Lyra’s choices.”
Kareen pursed her lips, her mind racing. Finally, a slight frown appeared on her face. “Very well. I’m
curious to hear how you, an outsider, n to solve theplex situation within the Miles family in such
a short time.”
Damien, a figure of quiet confidence, crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe. A calm
smile. remained on his lips. “It’s not that difficult. I can make it happen if you agree to allow your brother
and Lyra to have their wedding.”
“And if you fail?” Kareen challenged, her gaze unwavering.

Chapter 776 Kareen Gets Evicted From Miles Manor
“You have quite the fire in you. If things go wrong, feel free to take it out on Lyra.”
Kareen blinked, surprised. Then, she whispered something to the doctor, and he nodded before
entering
Zachary’s room.
“Follow me,” the doctor coughed, leading Cherise, Damien, and Lyra to the adjacent room.
The room, though small, was clean and tidy, reflecting the meticulous nature of its upant.
Kareen settled onto the bed, her gaze coolly fixed on Damien and Cherise. “I bet you didn’t expect this,
but I’ve been staying here for the past few days. I n to make this my permanent residence while I
take care of Zac.”
As she mentioned Zachary, Kareen’s face darkened. “I never realized how bad things were when he
was around. Now, it’s all hitting me like a ton of bricks.”
She took a deep breath, then looked up with a wistful smile, her gaze drifting past Cherise as if
searching for something in the distance. “After Aunt Charisa passed away, she left Zac in charge of the
Miles family and gave him control of several businesses within the Miles Group. With all that power and
responsibility, and with him always protecting me, I could do whatever I wanted in the Miles family. No
one dared to oppose me.”
“I indulged in my whims and made unreasonable demands, but no one dared to stop me. But then, two
days ago, Dad and Patricia found out about Zac’s car ident and hisa…”
Her eyes grew darker. “They kicked me out of the house, saying I wasn’t a threat anymore without Zac
to shield me and that they were tired of my behavior.”
Kareen looked at Damien, “If you have a real n to get back at those greedy bastards, I’m willing to
give Lyra a chance.”
Cherise was taken aback by Kareen’s words.
Looking at the broken woman in front of her, she blurted out, “Your dad and stepmom… they did this to
you?”
“Yep,” Kareen confirmed simply.
“But…” Lyra stammered, “This is the best hospital and ward in Ziphon. How are you paying for it after
being kicked out of the Miles family?”
Kareen sniffed, turning away, “I sold all my fancy belongings. My brother is the best person ever. Even
if I’m broke and abandoned, I want him to receive the best care.”
Lyra’s lips tightened, a flicker of sadness crossing her clear eyes.
In the next moment, she pulled out her wallet, flipped through it, and handed Kareen the only two cards
inside. “This is what I’ve saved over the years. It’s not much, but it should cover Zac’s stay here for a
while.”
Kareen frowned, “You…”

Tm his fiancee, and it’s my responsibility.” Lyra met Kareen’s gaze, her eyes filled with determination. “I
can’t let you bear this burden alone. I have to contribute.”
Lyra smiled and added, “It’s the least I can do. And hey, even if you don’t agree to the whole marriage
thing. I’ll still help out.”
After all, this wasn’t the first time Lyra had gone above and beyond for Zac.
Kareen stared at the cards in her hand, momentarily speechless. Eventually, she said, “Thank you.”
The truth was, she could see the depth of Lyra’s love for Zac and the sincerity of her actions.
