Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 124

Hearing their vicious words, Vincent panicked and shouted, "I really didn't know what Iris was doing! Summer, everyone makes mistakes. Just let me have this one. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. I can't live without you! I love you! I would die for you! Summer, please forgive me, I'm begging you..."

Vincent's voice cracked, his eyes red as he looked pleadingly at her on the stage.

Summer walked down from the stage, step by step, toward Vincent.

"Summer..." Vincent took a step forward, but the security guards blocked him. He could only shuffle a tiny bit closer.

Even in his tailored suit, he was still handsome, though the bruises on his face made him look disheveled and pathetic.

Vincent reached out a hand, as if wanting to touch the woman he had always loved.

The crowd held its breath.

Some were recording with their phones, others whispering amongst themselves.

Just as everyone thought this was about to become a clichéd scene of a prodigal husband's return and a broken mirror mended...

Summer stopped a single step away from Vincent.

She tilted her head up slightly.

Looking at the face that had once haunted her dreams, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and a chilling smile touched her lips.

Vincent thought she was about to forgive him, his heart swelling with uncontrollable excitement and joy.

Just as the onlookers thought the same...

CRACK!

A sharp, ringing slap shattered Vincent's fantasy.

Summer's palm stung, but she felt nothing but satisfaction.
