Chapter 268 That Much
Charles pinned Finn to the ground. The latter resisted with all his might but eventually went down on one knee. “Get down on both knees! Charles exerted more strength as his handsome face contorted with rage “Have you lost your mind, Charles!” Finn’s voice boomed throughout the space. However, Charles opened his eyes wide.
Fury overtook his senses as he grabbed Finn’s collar. “Open your eyes wide and see whose portrait that is!” All color drained from Finn’s face as he glanced over. I heard the news. You don’t have to remind me.” “So why didn’t you show up to her memorial service? Have you forgotten that you’re the one who caused her death?” Charles interrogated. “I didn’t cause anything. She’s the one who hung herself. It has nothing to do with me.”
“She did that because of you! If you hadn’t put her through all that sh’t she wouldn’t have resorted to doing this!” “You have no evidence to prove your claims,” Finn stated, persistently denying the truth. That only made the wrathful fumes in Charles’ heart broil even more. He bellowed, “Do you really I won’t dare to beat you up just because I don’t have any evidence?” Finn responded with sarcastic chuckles, which only made things worse.
Bam! Charles’ fist struck Finn’s face at full force. Upon witnessing such a scene, everyone rushed up to prevent the situation from escalating. “No one is to intervene!” Kathleen snarled, her tone frosty. When it came to fighting Finn was nothing more than trash before Charles’ brute strength Not to mention that Charles’ deep affection for Vivian greatly surpassed Finn’s past feelings for Vivian. Utter chaos broke out in the mourning hall.
Finn got beaten up so badly that his nose started to bleed and he could barely stand upright. While Charles did not suffer any severe injuries, he did end up taking a punch or two from the former. “Stop! Stop it!” Tracy charged into the space with her subordinates. When she saw that Finn had gotten beat up, she rushed to stand in front of him defensively, her shrill voice piercing the air. “Are you trying to beat him to death?” “Get the hell out of my way! Don’t think that I won’t lay hands on a woman!” Charles’s piercing gaze shot toward her.
“Kill me then! I’m the one behind all those things anyway! Tracy continued to take the blame on behalf of Finn Charles scoffed as he retorted. “Aren’t you afraid Vivian’s spirit will haunt your dreams?” Tracy bit down on her lip, not wanting to answer that question Meanwhile, Kathleen’s indifferent gaze focused on Tracy as she spoke up.
“What an idiot How can you defend a selfish man who doesn’t even show you respect or treat you like a human?” A bewildered look crept upon Tracy’s face upon hearing that “Besides, Vivian was once his most beloved woman. However, he did all those horrible things after using her as a ticket to improve his societal standing. Contrarily, he doesn’t even love you. Do you think he’ll remain kind to you once you’re no longer useful to him?”
Kathleen added, her tone laced with bitter distaste. Her words made Tracy bite her lip. “You’ll eventually end up like Vivian,”remarked Kathleen with murderous intent flashing in her narrowed eyes. Despite all those words, Tracy refuted with a downcast gaze. “I don’t care! I love him, and he’s my husband, so it’s only right that I defend him!” “How idiotic, Kathleen spat before scoffing”Aren’t you an idiot too?”
It was now Tracy’s turn to speak sarcastically as she questioned, “Remember how you loved Samuel all those years ago like a fool? Even when his heart was clearly devoted to Nicolette? Kathleen’s delicate face paled. “You’re right. I was an idiot back then, so I’m advising you now to open your eyes.” Despite that. Tracy ignored her and went to kneel before Vivian’s photo. “Vivian, you can hold me accountable for everything that’s happened.
If you want to get revenge, come at me. I’m okay with that! Finn shot a surprised look at Tracy. Meanwhile, Kathleen felt Tracy was too far gone in her obsession to be saved now. “As expected.” Kathleen looked over at Finn and resumed. The world wouldn’t have men that are scumbags if women didn’t fall in love so deeply.
