He gritted his teeth, hands shaking, and lifted the white wine bottle.

The harsh, pungent smell rushed at him, yet he ignored it. He tilted his head back and drank straight from

1. it.

The scorching liquor ran down his throat, searing him as if it would tear his insides apart.

Larissa observed him without a trace of emotion.

For Julia, he could force himself to this extent.

He would even sacrifice his own health.

If she had accepted reality in her previous life, she would not have died alone on that operating table.

She had yearned for even a sliver of his affection until her final breath.

It turned out Morris was not heartless toward everyone.

And he was capable of love.

He simply never loved her.

After the final swallow, Morris felt dizziness overwhelm him, sharp agony twisting through his stomach. He bent over, clutching his abdomen as sweat soaked his back.

“Larissa, now can you release Julia?”

His tone was frail, yet his eyes stayed fixed on Larissa.

Larissa gave a brief, chilling laugh, resentment flashing in her gaze.

“Morris, you think that’s enough?

“This is only the beginning.

“After Julia is out, I will settle every score between us.”

With that, she took out her phone and arranged for Julia’s release.

Morris crumpled to the ground, curling up in torment. His assistant quickly called for an ambulance to Brightwell Hospital.

Larissa watched without sympathy.

He deserved it.

Chapter 178 A Bitter Proof

By the time Daphne turned to look for her, Larissa had disappeared.

Daphne sighed softly. Larissa appeared distant, yet she was kind at heart.

Larissa walked out of the hotel and pulled her coat close around her.

The night air felt colder than ever.

Because she finally understood the truth that Morris had never loved her from the beginning.

The only daughter in his heart was Julia.

“Get in.”

A luxury car came to a smooth stop beside her.

The window lowered, revealing Alvin’s strikingly handsome face.

Larissa stepped aside and ignored him, walking the other way.

Alvin frowned slightly. He pressed the accelerator and kept pace with her.

“Larissa, get in. I’ll drive you home.”

His voice was deep, carrying a tone that left little room for refusal.

Larissa stopped and faced him coolly. “We’re not close. Stop trailing me.”

Alvin smiled faintly.

“I just think it’s unsafe for you to walk alone. I’m offering a ride.

“There’s no need to treat me like a stranger.”

Larissa continued forward.

She did not spare him another glance,

The best distance between them was exactly that of strangers.

She would not stumble over the same man again.

It was the first time Alvin had taken interest in a girl.

He did not expect her to be so unyielding.

She refused to give him the slightest opening.

That made her even more intriguing.
