Even after Her Death by Rita Bond

Chapter 418 Could You Love Me?

I could sense Taylor's attitude toward Whitney had shifted. At first, his need to control her was overwhelming-he even brought other women to events right in front of her.

But now, he seemed intent on winning her over, even going so far as to propose marriage.

Given the feud between the Carlyns and the Sanders, Taylor's decision to marry Whitney signaled that he had let go of his hatred for her family. He wanted to build a home with her, to treat her as a cherished wife. I wondered what had happened between them to cause such a drastic change.

However, Taylor pushed Whitney away upon hearing her words.

"All you care about is your family. What about me? After all these years, do you really not like me at all?"

Whitney's silence said it all.

She probably wanted to snap at him but chose not to waste her energy lying anymore.

The wind rustled through the leaves.

My heart raced. I was terrified Taylor might lash out at Whitney and was ready to intervene at any

moment.

Suppressing his anger, Taylor eventually left without touching her.

Whitney caught his sleeve. "That's poison. I beg you, give me the antidote, please?"

When he shook her off, she knelt down and groveled before him. It was heartbreaking to see her do that so naturally.

"Taylor, Chloe has suffered enough. Please, I'm begging you-I'll do anything you want, just let her go."

Unable to bear it any longer, I rushed out and threw my arms around Whitney.

Her tearful eyes met mine. "Chloe."

I pulled her to her feet with all my strength.

Noticing the concern and guilt in my eyes, Whitney offered a gentle smile. "Chloe, it's okay."

While she spoke, Taylor quietly slipped away.

I shook my head at Whitney. She didn't have to do this for me.

Whitney, however, seemed indifferent. "Chloe, what you see as degrading. I've long since grown used to it. It doesn't bother me anymore. If I can get the antidote It's worth it Her casual tone only made my heart ache more. At leal had a joyful childhood. What had her life been
