Chapter 1764 Scorpius And His Decision
His words took her by surprise. “Why so suddenly?”
Scorpius lowered his head slightly, as if trying to hide the guilt flickering across his face. “Back when you lost your memory, you didn't forgive Mdm. Queenie. So, I thought I should stand by her side and help her more. But now that you've regained your memories... it's time for me to take responsibility for my own actions.”
His meaning was clear—he intended to turn himself in.
Back then, he had kidnapped Jonathan, nearly leading to the deaths of both Jonathan and Cecilia.
Now that she had regained all her memories, Cecilia had often thought about this matter. Truthfully, it was impossible to completely forgive and forget.
Even now, the scar on her right cheek remained, a permanent reminder of what had happened. However, Scorpius wasn't the sole culprit behind it all.
“If you're turning yourself in, does that mean my mom should do the same?” Cecilia asked calmly.
Scorpius was visibly startled before quickly shaking his head. “No! This whole mess is entirely my fault. It has nothing to do with Mdm. Queenie. She was deceived by others. Ms. Cecilia, she's your mother. She would never harm you—she would give her life for you without hesitation! And besides, her health... she wouldn't survive imprisonment. She's suffered enough over the years...”
He kept defending Queenie, completely missing the underlying meaning of Cecilia's words.
Cecilia cut him off. “Mr. Jiminez, what I mean is, if I were to hold you accountable, then I would have to hold my mom accountable, too.”
Scorpius stared at her, confused.
Taking a deep breath, Cecilia continued, “Let's just drop this matter.”
“Ms. Cecilia...” Scorpius looked at her in disbelief. “But your face... and Jon...”
Cecilia's gaze remained steady. “People are inherently selfish. Back then, you hurt me for Cassandra's sake. Now, you regret it only because I am Queenie's biological daughter. Likewise, as Queenie's daughter, I can't turn you in.”
In this world, perfect solutions rarely exist—someone always has to compromise.

Thank you for updating!...
Thank you for updating...
How can I see the new chapters?...
I was wondering why the books need to be so long. May the author start another book instead of keeping us so heartbroken???...
I have read the new next chapters in the application. So there will be new enemies of Cecilia, Cassandra will still ruin her life. There is no end and edge to Cecilia's enemies and the novel too...
Vivian is so stupid...
from Vivian and Madeline's side this is no longer love. this is some kind of malice and deception. Vivian: my grandfather loves me and will do whatever I want... Madeline: he did nothing wrong, but I will take away all custody... some kind of agony... it's time to put an end to the novel!...
