Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 921

921 /1047

Lord Leonard Lance placed tremendous value on Grace as a daughter-in-law, and he adored his eldest grandson beyond words.

He swore a blood oath to make the culprit wish for death.

The investigation quickly revealed that someone had bribed a mechanic to tamper with Grace's newly purchased car. Following a brief but brutal interrogation, the mechanic gave up Jocelyn as the mastermind.

The so-called "Jocelyn" could hide no longer. Her true nature was glaringly exposed right in front of the old man.

Jocelyn thought her scheme was flawless, but she ignored the biggest issue of all.

Leaving no flaws was, in itself, the biggest flaw.

Once the truth came to light, the old man called the police that very night. Jocelyn was arrested, and Lawrence was sent away to an orphanage.

Then, wielding a leather whip, Lord Leonard nearly beat his own disgraceful son to death.

Afterward, fighting through the agonizing pain, Richard went to the detention center to see Jocelyn.

At the time, Jocelyn didn't beg Richard to let her go. She just kept crying endlessly.

"I deserve to die. I lost my mind for a moment and destroyed your family. My death wouldn't be enough to atone for this. I only beg you... I just beg you, for the sake of the love we shared, please raise our son well. He's completely innocent. *Sob*..."

"This is all my fault. *Sob*...

In the next life... in the next life, I'll make it up to you. I'll find you sooner.

And I'll serve you properly, and bear your children..."

Richard, who was already deeply infatuated with Jocelyn, felt half his resolve crumble the moment she started crying. The instant she mentioned their son, Lawrence, his heart melted completely.

"Alright, Jocelyn. I'll figure out a way to get you out of here.

But you have to promise me that once you're out, you will abide by the law. No more of these insane schemes."

In her mind, Jocelyn's lips curled into a victorious smirk. She had won.

But outwardly, she maintained her heartbreaking, pitiful facade. Wiping her tears, she sobbed, "Richard, you don't need to save me. Just let me die. *Sob*..."
