NovelEnglishChapter 1429: Lucius was enveloped in a dream that led him to discover his true self.
In his dream, Lucius journeyed through his life, observing himself from his first encounter with Nicola, through his deepening affection for her, to the moment his obsessive love began to alter and damage her. It was as if he were an observer watching a film about his own life.
He finally recognized the extremity of his actions. He had expected love in return for his own, and sought vengeance even at the cost of his morals. The actions that filled his memories had perverted his intentions, transforming him into a monstrous figure.
Lucius watched the events of his life unfold, struck by a strange feeling. These experiences were familiar because he had lived them, yet they felt alien, as if he no longer knew the man he had become.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA decade after Nicola's incident, Lucius had orchestrated a crisis for the Green Group to retaliate against Nathaniel, causing the deaths of dozens of babies, just to falsely report that the group's baby formula was poisonous.
After executing this plan, Lucius had felt no remorse for the infants. Almost immediately, he had delved into human trafficking, collaborating with Casper to accumulate wealth continuously.
Just then, teenage Harlee suddenly appeared in Lucius' dream. He followed her out of curiosity, only to hear her say with gratitude, "Mr. Swain, I'm so lucky to have you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what it feels like to have a family." She gazed at the full moon, her face lit with a smile, holding back her tears.

Lucius stood helplessly, clutching his heart and crouching down. He wanted to explain, but opening his mouth felt like being stabbed by countless needles. He had becpainfully aware of his misdeeds. He yearned to apologize to those he...
Had wronged under the starry expanse, but his awareness was dimming. In his fading consciousness, he thought he heard faint voices.
"If there's no antidote, that's fine. Perhaps this is my destiny." "No, I need to awaken Lucius and have him reveal the antidote's location! Harlee, you can't die. You absolutely mustn't die." Lucius woke up to searing pain, clearly feeling the life slowly draining from his body.
As Lucius opened his eyes, he saw Harlee standing before him, her expression cold and detached.
"Harlee..." He reached out to grasp her hand, but she briskly brushed him away.
Suddenly, Jianna lunged forward and seized his collar, urgently asking, "Where is the antidote? Tellwhere it is!" Shaken by Jianna, Lucius looked at Harlee, and as he spoke, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Harlee turned to face him and crouched down, her smile sweet.
"Lucius, how does it feel to be outsmarted?" Fear flooded Lucius' eyes.
Harlee lifted the doll and said, "This was merely an advanced voice m simulation, and you fell for it? Lucius, I often wonder whether you genuinely loved Nicola or simply couldn't bear the thought of not possessing her." At this revelation, Lucius attempted to rise.
Thiago assisted Lucius to his feet while Jianna produced a laptop to demonstrate how the sound had been fabricated. Harlee sneered.
"Don't be so gullible. Nicola never loved you. She despised you to the point that she preferred to fake her own death rather than see you again. Oh, and one more thing."
