He Buried Me But I Painted My Own Resurrection novel Chapter 268

Arthur remained silent, his brow furrowed into a deep, agonizing knot.

He knew perfectly well that they had raised Sabrina as their own flesh and blood for twenty years. Completely severing ties felt like carving a piece of flesh from his own chest.

But the moment he remembered everything she had just done, that fleeting softness was violently crushed.

"You have the nerve to bring up our history?" his voice was freezing cold, though he stopped short of repeating the order to throw her out.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Sabrina cried even harder, collapsing in desperation and pleading so fiercely her forehead turned red against the floor.

"I know I wronged you both, and I wronged Mom. I will do anything to make it right. Please, just give me one more chance... I don't want the money, I don't want the title. Just... please don't kick me out of this family."

The room was consumed by the suffocating sound of her sobs and the relentless ticking of the grandfather clock.

Evelyn finally couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and walked over, stopping two steps away without reaching out to help her up.

"Arthur," she murmured softly. "She is still the child we raised for over twenty years."

Arthur closed his eyes, visibly struggling with the most difficult decision of his life.

After a long silence, he spoke. The burning rage in his tone had cooled, but his authority remained absolute.

"Every cent of her property and shares will be confiscated. There is no negotiation on this."

Sabrina froze, preparing to beg again, but he continued:

"As for kicking her out..." He paused, his gaze sweeping over her pathetic state, and finally let out a heavy sigh. "We won't do that for now."

Suddenly, a voice cut through the tension. "What happened here?"

Lucas Lowery's abrupt arrival shattered the oppressive silence of the living room.

He didn't spare a single glance for Sabrina, who was paralyzed on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Nor did he acknowledge the conflicted Sullivan parents sitting nearby.
