Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 286

Later, Shane Porter even pinned the complete destruction of the Mercer and Scott families entirely on Mara, turning her into a pariah and a jinx that everyone despised.

By that point, the Mercer family members who had once loved and protected her, as well as the Scott family who had been her backing, were either dead or ruined by her own hands. No one was left to help her. Even if they had the capability, they would never have protected her again.

But that wasn't enough. Worried that she might leak the secrets of how he had used her in the early days, Shane had Mara trafficked to a lawless region overseas. She suffered long-term abuse and torture, and eventually had her organs harvested alive. Her end was a hundred times worse than Mira's in her past life.

But she deserved every bit of it; she was unworthy of any sympathy.

The past vanished like smoke in the wind, and Mira's thoughts snapped back to the present.

It seemed the Lydia Fontaine that Mara had mentioned was already playing both sides as a mistress. She wondered if Shane would discard Lydia too once he succeeded.

Shane really knew how to buy people's loyalty. In the Mercer family, he had Mara and Norman. Who else might there be? In the Scott family, he had bought off someone as crucial as Lydia...

Every single one of them was a heavyweight player.

No wonder both families' empires had been swallowed whole by Porter Entertainment in her previous life, leaving them completely ruined.

Coupled with the relationship between Mara and Lexie—Lydia's daughter and Mara's sidekick—Mira wondered if they were passing information between themselves, or if they were completely unaware of each other's hidden affiliations and inadvertently manipulating one another.

Next, Mira checked the photos Lenny had just sent. There were three in total, all showing Shane and that woman looking intimately close. Two of the shots clearly captured both of their faces.
