Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1328

Finn gazed at me and whispered, "Before Byron faced his execution, he left a message for Beatrice."

"A message... for Beatrice?" I was taken aback. "Just before the execution?"

Shocked, I turned to Finn, then involuntarily glanced toward the hall. An inexplicable chill creeped up my spine.

"Yes. Her assistant gave it to me, and it felt serious. I thought it would be best for you to have it," Finn said, extending the USB drive to me once more.

I hesitated as I accepted it. It was a plain black USB drive, but it burned in my hand.

It seemed Byron had been desperate to convey something to Beatrice, despite her rejection.

The law had its protocols, and they would have fulfilled his requests before execution. Whether that was a blessing or a curse, I couldn't say.

But as I met Finn's eyes, I murmured, "Who did he think he was to leave a message for Beatrice?”

Though I said it, I also understood the desperation of a dying man.

After all, he was her father.

But for Beatrice, it would be a torment. Anything he said—whether it was regretful or venomous—would ring hollow.

There was no way Beatrice would ever forgive him. Throughout history, betraying a spouse emotionally was the gravest of sins. Society often blamed it on morality, but it was damaging and unforgivable.

And Byron hadn't just betrayed Helen emotionally. He had also killed her. How dare he try to seek forgiveness?

He had also taken three lives without hesitation, leading to the massacre of the Keller family. What right did he have to plead for forgiveness?

By changing her last name and refusing a final meeting, Beatrice had made it clear that she would never forgive Byron.
