Nolan looked at the shameless pair and said coldly, "I'm sorry, but are you two related to us? Are you afraid that I've forgotten about you just because I haven't been paying attention to you? Don't worry, I've kept all of your sins etched in my mind. Even if I let the whole village go, I won't let you two off."
Hearing this, both Tyler and Sharon trembled uncontrollably, and their faces filled with an overwhelming sense of despair.
Tyler, having reached the point of no return, dropped to his knees before Nolan and sobbed uncontrollably. "Nolan, my dear brother, I know I've been terrible to you in the past. It was wrong of me to lose my temper.
"Please, forgive me just this once. I'm begging you. Wayne, Melody, please think of all the times I've been a good son-in-law to you. I'm begging you—please make Nolan forgive me, I'll change. I'll become a better person. Please, just give me one more chance."
He then walked on his knees over to Liana and wrapped her arms around her leg. "Liana, Liana, please save me. We've been through so much together as husband and wife. Please, I'm begging you. Help me plead for mercy. Please."
Liana looked down at the crying and pleading Tyler, and there wasn't even a trace of pity on her face. How she had been living all these years, only she herself knew.
She shoved Tyler away with all her strength and roared, "Get lost! There was never any bond between us. Did you really think I would keep putting up with you after the way you've treated me these past few years?"
After saying this, she turned to Nolan tearfully. "Nolan, I'll leave him for you to handle. You can punish him however you want. I won't say a word even if you decide to kill him."
Hearing this, Wayne and Melody opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but when they saw the cold resolve in Liana's demeanor, they fell silent.
At that moment, Sharon also walked straight up to Niall and wrapped her arms around his elbows. Then, in a voice choked with sobs, said, "Niall, I was wrong. I know I was at fault before. I should have treated you better. Please, give me one more chance. Don't let Nolan hurt me anymore. Please, I swear, I'll change."
