Chapter 187
Mr. Alfred remained on his knees, refusing to get up.
His aging body trembled slightly as he looked at Julia with pleading eyes, waiting for even the slightest sign of mercy.
Julia simply looked back at him.. Her expression remained completely indifferent.
She had seen this scene before.
Every single time the Alfred family found themselves in trouble, she was the one who sacrificed everything to pull them out of the pit. Yet, once the crisis was over, they always treated her as though she had never existed.
In her eyes, this wasn’t genuine remorse.
This was nothing more than emotional manipulation.
Steve could no longer hold himself back.

Only Leah remained standing.
