You animal! Are you trying to destroy the Hart family?” Grandpa roared, striking Desmond across the back with his cane.

Desmond didn’t even seem to feel the pain. He just looked at Grandfather coldly. “I just want to find Celeste and be with her forever.”

Desmond stubbornly continued to mobilize people all over the world to help him find Celeste.

The difference this time was that everyone who set out to join the search would first receive financial backing from the Hart Corporation.

For a time, Desmond became known online as the “billionaire throwing money away“.

Online public opinion shifted once again, with people now believing that his relentless search was a sign of his true, undying love for Celeste.

some extremists even started saying that Celeste was being ungrateful.

Is there any man out there who doesn’t cheat? Guys used to have multiple wives, and some still do. Women should just be grateful. If you have a man willing o spend this kind of money on you, you should be thanking your lucky stars.”

Mr. Hart just made a mistake that literally all men make. It’s not like he murdered someone. Why can’t she forgive him?”

Celeste Reese is just being dramatic. She needs to stop playing hard to get and just come back to Mr. Hart!”

The attack left him crippled. His cervical spine was severely damaged, leaving him a high–level quadriplegic.

He would have to spend the rest of his life in bed.

When he felt his limbs go limp, his body as weak and useless as a pile of cotton, Desmond was terrified. His eyes widened in horror, and he subconsciously began to call out Celeste’s name over and over.

He was met only with dead silence, broken by the sound of his own increasingly panicked heartbeat.
