Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 459

Anna's gaze was heavy as she locked eyes with Hayden.

Both Julia and Anna wanted to try again and persuade him to make him reconsider.

But Hayden simply waved his hand with a faint smile as he said, "Don't say that. I left the Sterling family because you forced me out. It wasn't just because of Francis.

"You saw the way I lived back then for yourselves. I was starving, cold, humiliated, and trampled on… Wasn't that all thanks to you?

"We're siblings, you say? We're family? Do you even hear yourselves? Aren't you ashamed to say those words?" His voice was calm and measured, but every syllable cut like a blade.

Julia and Anna sat frozen, their faces turning paler by the second.

He spoke as if it were nothing, but each sentence slashed through them like a knife, leaving them bleeding and gasping for air.

They had no choice but to face the truth.

Yes, they had wronged him. And now, here they were, asking for his help.

If the roles were reversed, would they have the patience to listen to someone who had once made their life a living hell?

"We were wrong before, and we admit that," Julia said, forcing herself to stay composed. "But this is urgent. We need your help! Can you really stand by and watch the Sterling family fall apart?"
