Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 125

But she was absolutely exhausted from living a life filled with threats, where every single move she made was held hostage by her brother's criminal case.

Still... reducing a fifteen-year sentence to under three years? Shaving off twelve whole years was practically impossible under current legal constraints.

Yet, what was impossible for others was effortless for Tristan Forrester.

When Nova remained silent, Tristan seemed to read her mind and continued raising the stakes.

"Once the legal agreement is finalized, my legal team will spare no effort fighting for your brother. He has already voluntarily dropped his appeal on the fifteen-year sentence. Look around, Nova. Besides me, there isn't a single person with the power to legally reduce that to under three years."

Nova was genuinely tempted.

A fifteen-year sentence—Ian didn't deserve that.

And her dad's paralysis required top-tier medical care.

These were things only Tristan could provide.

Her own climb to the top was too slow. To become a titan of capital like Tristan—someone who wielded absolute power and limitless wealth—required more than just personal capability; it required the backing of an elite family. Right now, she saw no other way.

Seeing her hesitation, Tristan didn't press her like he would a rival at the negotiation table. He gave her room to breathe.

"I'll be returning to Clearwater Manor tonight. When you've made up your mind, move back in."

As soon as Nova walked away, Chuck Clayton approached.

He had heard their entire conversation clearly.

He used to think Nova was just playing hard to get, using cheap tricks to manipulate Tristan.

But now...

He genuinely didn't understand. Why on earth was she still hesitating?

This was a deal with guaranteed returns and zero risks.

Only an absolute idiot would refuse.

Why hesitate?

If that wasn't being dramatic, what was?

"Do you think she'll agree? Will she nod?" Chuck sneered, increasingly disgusted by what he saw as Nova's petty, narrow-minded attitude. She really couldn't compare to Yvette. She lacked the bigger picture, the grand vision, and the foresight.
