Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long twithout being able to
utter a single word.
"My father... wasn't it because of my mother..."
"It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"
Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and disoriented. "But..."
Yasmine spoke coldly, "But Claudia was saved from prison by you. She was unscathed and not even a single
rumor reached your ears, right?"
Nicholas nodded, his thoughts swirling as he tried to steady himself. "That's impossible. Yes, | got Claudia out,
but if what you're saying is true, how could the police not let anything slip to me?
"If someone had leverage like this over me, they wouldn't waste the opportunity-they could've askedfor
anything!"
Yasmine gave a bitter laugh. "Exactly, right? How could anyone in the world be so foolish? How could there be
someone who does so much and yet asks for nothing in return? Someone who was so worried about your health
and even wanted to stay and care for you but couldn't..."
"Why not! I've dreamed of nothing more than having Ariana stay by my side!" Nicholas punched the cold tiles on
the floor hard, his voice icy. "What exactly did Ariana do for me?"
Yasmine suppressed her emotions, forcing herself to remain calm as she faced him. "I once asked Ariana why,
and she said you didn't need her.
"| still remember the sorrow on her face when she said those words. Her tears had run dry, but she kept

"Damn it!" Yasmine cursed under her
breath before suddenly raising her
head, glaring fiercely at the man before her. "Ari was afraid you wouldn't survive, so she altered Frances's
testimony!
"That testimony was full of holes-because of you, she turned it into something solid, completely absolving
Claudia of any involvement!
"Nicholas, Ari is a lawyer. After
returning to the country, | tried arranging swork for her, but she always declined, saying she was too tired,
saying she didn't have the energy, and saying she needed to take care of Tabitha. But Nicholas, do you really
believe she didn't want to work?
"For your sake, she's sacrificed nearly her entire life-she lost her love, she couldn't continue her career, and her
health deteriorated. She's done so much for you. "After all these years together, all you've brought her is
disaster. Do you really think you deserve her?"

But deep down, he knew I didn't need any of that from him. Even when something as serious as Nelson's

His mind went blank, taking several long minutes before he could compose himself. "I'll resolve everything and
let her return to doing what she loves."
