NovelEnglishChapter 1671: Jayden met his glare without flinching. "Have you forgotten what happened between you two? What exactly are you to her?" Shaun went rigid, his jaw tightening. "My history with her is one thing, but she should never be with Lowell!" Jayden remained unfazed, his tone flat and unyielding. “She can be with whoever she damn well pleases. Your opinion? Doesn't matter." He paused deliberately, then leaned in slightly, his gaze locking onto Shaun's. "Since we're laying our cards on the table, lettell you something else." Shaun's eyes darkened with suspicion. "What?" Jayden didn't blink. "Your car accident. The police cup empty—no leads, no suspects, no clear motive. But someone wanted you dead." Shaun stiffened. Since regaining his memory, he had been so fixated on finding Tracy that the accident had faded into the background. Now, dread curled around his spine like a vice.
Jayden saw the flicker of hesitation and grabbed Shaun's shoulder, his grip firm. "The person who caused that accident-the one who tried to kill you-was Tracy." Shaun recoiled as if struck. "That's impossible!" The words shot out, fierce and unshaken. "She would never do something like that! Why would she? There is no reason for her to hate me!" Elyse's expression hardened. "Are you so sure? Have you really forgotten what you did to her?" Explore galfor fresh content "I had no choice!" Shaun's voice was sharp, defensive. "I was forced into it!" But even as he said it, the words felt weak, like a crumbling wall barely holding up against a storm.
Elyse let out a bitter laugh. "Right. Sthings, maybe you had no choice in. But tellwhen Dolores wrecked your wedding and humiliated Tracy in front of everyone, were your hands tied then? And when Lowell and Dolores pushed her off that cliff, when I begged you to look into it, to give her the justice she deserved-" "What did you do? You turned your back on her. You shielded Lowell and Dolores. You convinced yourself that Tracy jumped rather than believe they tried to kill her." Her voice trembled with raw emotion. "You told her you loved her. That you wanted a fresh start. Is this what love looks like? You broke every promise, Shaun. You shattered everything." A bitter taste clung to Shaun's tongue, heavy and acrid. He managed to say, "I was wrong. About everything."
Elyse let out a sneer, sharp as shattered glass. "I remember when Tracy finally decided to move on. She m had a fresh start, a solid foundation. For once she was building something for herself... and then you ruined it. You tore it all down, burned that bridge to the ground." Her gaze locked onto Shaun, piercing and unrelenting. "How could you be so selfish?"
Shaun put on a wry smile. "You might not believe this," he murmured, "but I never thought I loved TracM convinced myself didn't. And yet... turns out, I've loved her all along. Loved her more than anyone. I was just too damn scared to admit it."
