Chapter 110
I knew what Victor was apologizing for. But I refused to accept it.”
Mrs. Lane had already collapsed to the floor, utterly drained and speechless.
Jacqueline had been abroad for ten years; the twins looked about seven or eight now. They clearly favored Jacqueline, acting quite close to her. It hardly seemed like an accident.
“Send Jacqueline abroad. Ship her off to a deserted island in the Pacific. I don’t want to see her anymore.“}
Jacqueline was dazed as she was dragged away.”
As for Mrs. Lane, divorce awaited her. She’d be sent to that deserted island alongside Jacqueline.}
I rubbed my temples, watching the farce finally come to an end.}
“James, let’s go.”
Suddenly, a thud.}
Victor was already down on one knee, eyes bloodshot and brimming with tears.
“Jacqueline, the moment I let you stay at the Lane estate, my heart already belonged to you. All these years, I pretended you were just
some random blind boxes. I was an asshole and I wanted to see if you truly cared about me…“}
“I still don’t believe you really like James, but I’m certain you love me. If that’s true, will you look back at me?“}
“Give me one more chance. This time, it’s your turn to draw the lot.”
Victor handed me the lottery machine.
Itook it, glanced down and smashed it to pieces.}
All the slips inside read: “Victor Lane.“}
A priceless ring rolled out.
I crushed it under my foot.
He froze, stunned.}
I sneered, “I knew it.“>
“No, please listen…“}
“I’m not listening.” I shook my head.
I reached out my hand to James, who took it without hesitation.}
We smiled at each other.
Looking back at Victor, his face was pale and defeated, no longer arrogant or rebellious.
“Don’t call me Jacqueline anymore. The old rules aren’t right.“}
“That’s enough. Let’s go.”
I turned and walked away.
(The End)
