Chapter 226 Not Too Late Now
While Lysander was checking in at the front desk, she ordered a meal, asking them to bring it up as soon as possible.
It was no secret that the dining options at the hotel were notoriously overpriced and, frankly, the quality rarely matched the expense.
Yet, as Priscilla voraciously devoured her pasta, there was an undeniable twinge of emotion in Lysander’s gaze.
Here was Priscilla, the only daughter of the prestigious director of Central Hospital, a woman raised amidst privilege, now seeming to have strayed far from her refined upbringing.
Following their meal, Lysander thoughtfully provided her with a cup of warm water. It was only then that Priscilla began to slowly unravel the series of events that had transpired over the recent days.
Their conversation turned to Harry, who despite being a former student of Apex University and a onetime prospect of its esteemed Journalism Department, had a checkered past.
Officially, he was recommended for enrollment but never completed his studies due to a disciplinary action that resulted in a forced withdrawal during his junior year, with the reasons for his departure starkly
noted in his academic records.
With a cold sneer and a hollow laugh, Priscilla disdainfully uttered the damning word to explain his exit, “Rape.”
While at Apex University, Harry had fervently pursued a young woman known widely as the most beautiful female student in the department. She was a local, her father a prominent figure in the foreign trade sector, owning multiple properties in Apex City and possessing connections within the political sphere.
Despite her committed relationship with a fellow honor student from a neighboring university, Harry’s relentless pursuit only intensified.
Tragedy struck at a get–together held in a KTV private room where excessive alcohol led to dire consequences. The next morning found Harry and the girl in a compromising state of undress.
Priscilla revealed, “I only discovered this recently myself. He assured the girl that ‘what’s done is done and pledged to take responsibility. He even promised to apologize to her family and treat her right. Haha, what he really wanted was for her father to secure him a place in Apex City!”
Lysander handed her the cup of water, urging. “Drink some water.”
Priscilla accepted the cup but merely held it, chuckling deeply, “But the girl was cleverer than I was; she contacted the police immediately. They gathered evidence from her body, and the rape accusation was solidified! Apex University couldn’t risk the scandal, so they sent out a disciplinary notice three days later and encouraged him to withdraw. His family’s background is poor, he lacks education, and he couldn’t possibly succeed in Apex City, so he ended up returning in shame to my mother–in–law’s hometown, where I reside now.”
Priscila raised her head, “Over the years, he’s tried his hand at various ventures, experimenting in

Harry was repeating his past behaviors, but at that time. Priscilla was deeply in love and unaware that she was walking into a trap. She became pregnant before their marriage, they registered the marriage shortly thereafter and then conducted their wedding ceremony.
“Lysander, I should have heeded your advice back then, terminated the pregnancy, and broken things off with him!” Priscilla said.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
