Redmption 338


    ?


    If Mny hit Jewel''s pregnant belly head-on, Jewel''s baby would certainly be at risk.


    Even though Mny refused to acknowledge the baby, Chris had imed that the


    child wasn''t his butn''s posthumous child. If anything happened, it would mean the end of the Goodwin family''s bloodline.


    My heart raced, and I ran toward them instinctively.


    Lisa, who was closest, also understood the dire consequences and immediately grabbed Mny." Madam, you can''t do this."


    Jewel had reached her breaking point. "Let her hit me! If she does, then the Goodwin family will be wiped out!"


    "How dare you still im that this child is ours? I''m going to make sure that it''s tested right here and right now!" Mny was clearly beyond reason. Jewel was infuriated, matching Mny''s anger. "Fine! Let''s see right here if it''s really the Goodwin family''s child!"


    I didn''t want to get involved, but a child''s life was at stake, especially one that had been left by a deceased person.


    strode over and grabbed Jewel. "Are you really willing to sacrifice this baby?"


    Jewel was momentarily stunned by my intervention, and her face reddened further.


    "Come with me," I urged her.


    "Who are you? You can''t take her away! I want her to pay for my son''s death today!" Mny was frenzied


    I nced at Lisa, who was holding back Mny. "Madam, if your son''s death was


    unjust, there are legal ways to seek justice. Your current actions won''t avenge him but will only bring you harm."


    Lisa''s persuasive skills were impressive. Her words only fueled Mny''s anger more. "My only son is gone! No one will bury me when I die. I''ve long s wished for death!"


    It was a dangerous spiral toward mutual destruction.


    "Why aren''t you leaving?" I snapped at Jewel.


    This time, she followed me. Seeing her leave, Mny continued to scream and curse even more viciously.


    Once we turned the corner and Mny was out of sight, I finally released Jewel and stopped.


    Her hair was a mess, and her face was marked with red handprints. Blood was smeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked quite pitiful. There was a saying that those who were pitiable also


    had something hateful about them. Jewel deserved what had happened to her for causingn''s death.


    "Do you think I deserve this?" Jewel asked me.


    Ismirked. "Yes."This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Her eyes shed with anger.


    smiled slightly and said, "A few ps can''t make up forn''s life."


    Her eyes trembled, and she began to lose control. Her voice was sharp as she said, "He caused his own ident. Why should I be med?"


    She actually believed she wasn''t to me and showed no remorse forn''s death. It was a life lost because of her betrayal.


    Although I didn''t know the details of


    lan''s feelings for her, the fact that his life was so profoundly affected by her betrayal, to the point of costing him his life, was enough to show how deeply he loved her.


    But what did his love bring him?


    It brought betrayal, ack of remorse, and a repeated desire to erase his only surviving legacy from this world.


    At that moment, I felt an unexpected


    surge of anger on his behalf. He shouldn''t have loved someonedike her, and he certainly shouldn''t have sacrificed his life for her.


    My anger boiled over. "If you hadn''t been involved with Chris, wouldn have had the ident?"

    She seemed humiliated by my words, and her facial expression turned bad. "How dare you say that? What do you know about Chris'' feelings for me?"
