Dolores sighed, “It’s my choice to kneel here. Come back. Stella comes with you, right?”

“Especially when he learned that the man who deceived you to City N had a wife and a son and didn’t give a shit about your life, he wanted to seek revenge for you and pave the way for your son, so he bribed the driver of the Conrad family and created a car accident. Justin…”
