After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 197

Maximilian's thin lips pressed tightly together as he gazed gloomily at Emily, who was praying devoutly with her hands clasped.

"Someone like her dares to pray? How ridiculous."

"The prayers of the faithful are the only ones that matter. Someone like you, God wouldn't even bother to listen," Maximilian said coldly, his tone condemning Emily's sins.

"Your brother is in surgery after a car accident, and you're still saying these things? Are you here just to upset us?" Gabriel scolded angrily.

Emily looked up, a subtle, almost imperceptible change in her watery eyes.

She slowly unclasped her hands, her beautiful face tear-streaked, "What else can I do now? Even if God doesn't want to help a sinner like me, my son is innocent."

Emilio, standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned his gaze away, frowning.

Gabriel, unable to bear it, moved closer and patted her hand in comfort, "Desmond will be fine."

Seeing the mutual affection between the two, Maximilian's eyes grew even darker. His large hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, his brow furrowed with cold severity. Katniss, unable to contain her disdain, almost applauded at Emily's helpless act. Katniss reached out and squeezed Maximilian's hand in comfort.

Maximilian lowered his head slightly. Katniss, usually as docile as a kitten, suddenly showing some backbone, softened his heart.

Emily sobbed a few times, then slowly walked towards Maximilian, her tear-streaked face looking helpless, "Maximilian, I heard you had some conflict with Desmond today. Did he do something to offend you?"

After speaking, Emily put on a frightened look and hastily explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking."

Maximilian looked down at Emily with icy contempt, "Are you suggesting that I arranged Desmond's car accident?"

"Of course not," Emily weakly wiped her tears and said hypocritically, "If Desmond did something to offend you, I apologize on his behalf. You're Desmond's big brother; how could I suspect you of harming your own brother?"

Emily's seemingly kind and harmless words sounded different to Gabriel.

Sure enough, Gabriel's face changed after hearing this. He quickly rushed to Maximilian, glaring at him angrily, "Did you have anything to do with Desmond's car accident today? Tell me the truth!"
