Chapter 1137


    Young Liana, hitherto unreflective upon this matter, merely deemed her aunt to be assisting her in


    pursuing the young man of her affections, thus, she felt the need to disy greater courage and


    obedience. She adhered to Karan’s desires, ever attentively caring for Tyler, consistently following in


    his wake. She even resorted to employing the pretext of poor academic performance, seeking Tyler’s


    aid, despite their rtions being acrimonious to the extreme, nheless she mustered the fortitude to


    approach him


    She harbored the belief that through unwavering persistence, Tyler would assuredly be swayed by her


    charms, and subsequently, develop a fondness for her, eventually leading to love s, reality proved


    otherwise Tyler, due to his aversion towards Karan, equally held disdain for her Each time she drew


    near, he would irrationally erupt in anger, asserting that she was merely Karan’s niece, skilled solely in


    beguiling men. He consistently demanded that she


    keep her distance


    Yet, oddly enough despite Tyler’s aversion to her, he would appear at her room in the dead of night. On


    the asional moments she awakened, she would find him standing there, his gazeplexly fixed


    upon her. When discovered, he would cast her a fierce re before turning and departing


    Having chanced upon Tyler emerging from Liana’s room on several asions, Karan abruptly altered


    her stance, urging Liana to relinquish her affection for Tyler and instead develop feelings for Jules.


    Jules was Liana’s ssmate, and on one asion, as she journeyed home after school, she


    encountered a group of ruffians, from whom Jules rescued her and escorted her safely home. Karan


    witnessed this incident.


    Karan investigated Jules family background, finding it to be quitemendable. Although she did not


    directly urge Liana to pursue Jules, she simply remarked that Jules seemed to be a well–mannered


    young man, far more cultivated than Tyler, encouraging Liana to befriend him.

    Liana, who initiallycked many friends, was further drawn to Jules, particrly due to his refined


    manners and his proactive approach in engaging her in


    conversation


    Observing this, Karan invited Jules to their home, warmly weing him. As they grew acquainted,


    Karan took the initiative to summon Jules frequently


    for visits


    Jules seemed to have a thing for Liana. She could tell but he didn’t confess and she didn’t want to


    reject him without reason. Considering her affection for Tyler was met with cold shoulders, she became


    more friendly towards Jules.


    It was Karan who eventually nudged Jules to confess his feelings to Liana. When she told Karan that


    she didn’t have feelings for Jules, Karan advised her not to reject him. She reasoned that with the


    university entrance examing up, a rejection might affect Jules’s performance. Liana agreed and


    told Jules they could consider dating after they both got into good universities. Jules enthusiastically


    agreed.


    Finally, they both got into prestigious schools. Liana sincerely turned down Jules and plucked up her


    courage to confess her feelings to the one she loved. However, the person she deeply loved,


    responded to her heartfelt confession by raping her.


    At that moment, her life trajectory underwent a profound transformation. Learning about Karan’s


    unfortunate plight, she wept and resolutely demanded that those criminals face justice. Yet, when


    Karan exposed Tyler as the mastermind, she seemed to lose her sanity, lunging forward with the intent


    to vanquish Tyler. This vid scene remained imprinted in Liana’s memory.


    She always believed that her aunt loved her deeply. Upon discovering her brutal assault, Karan not


    only personally dealt with the perpetrators but also vowed to see Tyler behind bars. However, due to


    Tyler’s grandfather’s protection, he escaped legal repercussions and only received a severeshing.


    Tyler remained silent at the time, seemingly realizing the severity of his actions, choosing instead to


    silently endure all the punishment.


    Soon after, Karan discovered Liana’s pregnancy and confronted the Howell family, resolute in driving


    Tyler away. Tyler remained wordless and took her away with him


    He escorted her to a private hospital, where he personally performed a procedure to terminate her


    pregnancy. Throughout, he inexplicably reprimanded her, deepening the animosity between them.


    What truly haunted Liana was that after the surgery, he left her barely alive body abandoned in the


    wilderness. He did not even show his face, as if he wanted to end her life.


    In that moment, Liana yearned to confront Tyler and question his cruel treatment. She struggled,


    enduring the physical pain, crawling desperately through the thorny undergrowth. However, no matter


    how hard she tried, she could not escape that patch of foliage.


    Having endured such agony, it was only natural for Liana to harbor hatred towards Tyler. Yet, Karan felt


    no shame about Tyler; instead, she seemed to revel in triumph, sporting a victorious smile upon seeing


    the figurative corpse of her enemy.
