Chapter 2259

“Come on, man, it’s not too late to turn back. Your mom is still waiting for you to come

home.”

However, Kael’s mind was fixed on the stack of greenbacks that Balfour promised him and

the escape plan he had all set up. He was past the point of returning.

“Save your breath,” Kael said with a scoff. “I’ve already taken the point of no return. In my

next life, maybe I’ll be the good guy!”

As Kael lunged at Colton and the others with a knife in his grip, Balfour sprinted over with

unexpected agility. Before Kael could even process what was happening, this towering

figure had him stumbling backward in retreat.

Caught off guard, Kael’s grip on Thalia’s hand slackened.

“You…”

Margot dashed over to catch Thalia, while Colton and the producer wasted no more time,

rushing to Balfour’s aid.

Kael had pegged Balfour as some kind of corporate figurehead, all height and no muscle.

But before Kael could even throw a punch, Balfour was on him, landing blows to his ribs.

After a few hits, Kael was reeling, with no chance to strike back.

“Argh!”

Fueled by frustration and shame, and still armed with a knife, Kael swung wildly. “I’ll take

you all down with me, we’ll call it even!”

Balfour dodged the frantic swipes, ready to kick the knife from Kael’s grip. However, in a

desperate move, the craven man jabbed the blade toward his own belly.

“You’re not going to take me alive!”

On the sidelines, Margot watched in disbelief. How could a man be so lacking in

responsibility?

Who would want to be with someone like Kael?

Kael hit the ground, and Colton approached, frowning at the sight. The wound wasn’t fatal;

Balfour had already disarmed Kael and kicked the knife aside, preserving it as evidence.

Colton couldn’t fathom why someone with potential would ruin his life like this.

“Was it Diana who put you up to this? You had no beef with Thalia. Was it her?”

Though they had caught Kael, he suddenly played the martyr, refusing to utter Diana’s

name even in the face of death.

“I did this on my own. Go ahead, arrest me. She’s innocent.”

Everyone present knew Diana had to be involved. Even if Kael wouldn’t give her up now,

they had a lead to follow.

The unprovoked attack on Thalia surely meant she knew something Diana didn’t want out.

The priority was getting Thalia to a hospital.

That night, the hilltop was abuzz like never before.

Upon waking up, Ivy found Balfour slumped beside her bed, his jacket in disarray and

covered in mud.

She watched him sleeping in an uncomfortable but peaceful pose and didn’t want to break

the silence.

How nice it would be if they could always get along like this.

She wished they didn’t have to be at odds all the time. She cared for him, so why the

constant quarrels?

If only Balfour could give her a little more room in his heart.

Knock, knock, knock.

Balfour stirred at the sound of knocking. Ivy quickly shut her eyes, pretending to still be

asleep.

Balfour opened the door quietly and whispered to Elara outside, “Keep it down; she’s still

resting.”

“Of course, sir. It’s time for the morning blood draw for Mrs. Howard.”
