Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 580

Elena’s face flushed with anger at Maggie’s words. “You’re an outsider! Stop pointing fingers. This has nothing to do with you!”

Janina watched Elena’s staunch defense, finding her attitude incredibly strange. It was as if Yvonne had some kind of leverage over her, forcing her to be a protector. Otherwise, her behavior was hard to explain.

She looked at Julius, whose face was ashen. The day's objective had been achieved. Yvonne was about to lose Julius's support, and for Yvonne, that was a devastating blow.

Losing a simp like Julius—rich, handsome, and utterly devoted—was like losing a limb.

As for Elena…

Janina still hadn't figured out if there was any connection between Elena and Yvonne beyond their in-law relationship.

For now, it remained a mystery.

Janina gave her friends a look. “Let’s go.”

Without another glance at the trio, Janina and her friends strode toward the elevators.

Julius watched her retreating back, wanting to call out to her, but the sound was trapped in his throat. His heart was too heavy, so heavy it felt like it would drag everything down into an abyss, back to the time before their divorce, a time before Yvonne.

He desperately wanted to ask, “Janina, do you hate me?”

His throat felt as if a hand were clamped around it. Suffocating. Agonizing. Desperate. Heartbroken.

He knew. He had lost the woman who once had eyes only for him.

The big screen was still playing a loop of Yvonne’s scandals.

In that instant, it felt as if a thousand sharp blades were carving chunks of flesh from his heart, the pain tearing through his entire body. It was a searing agony that spread to his very bones.

He truly never imagined that an angel’s face could hide such a demon. A demon that had devoured everything he had and destroyed the person he loved most.

And he never thought he would divorce Janina because of Yvonne.

His heart clenched violently, and he instinctively took a step in the direction she had gone, a choked, remorseful cry escaping his lips. “Janina…”

The elevator doors opened, and Janina and her friends stepped inside. From a distance, Julius instinctively reached out, wanting to pull her into a hug from behind. But all he could do was watch helplessly as the elevator doors slid shut, until her silhouette vanished from the closing gap.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”

Julius’s knees gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, slapping himself hard across the face twice.

He owed Janina and his children far too much.

Thinking of everything he had done to them, his heart felt like it was shattering into a million pieces. He had finally lost the most precious love of his life, the person most worthy of his care.

Suddenly, Julius clutched his chest as a sharp pain shot through it.

He coughed violently, a spray of blood erupting from his mouth. Then, his body slumped heavily to the floor.
