Chapter 447

Lionel pursed his lips into a thin line as he reached out to press down on her shoulder, turning her over.

As their gazes met, he could see the look of indifference in her eyes.

“Even though I assumed that I could forget about you after all those years, there is no taking back the love I have for you. You won, Victoria. You have my heart. As I said, I will offer you an explanation, but you never gave me the chance to do so. You're as stubborn and indifferent as you were seven years ago.”

Victoria shook his hand away without warning before huffing a laugh. “Since that's the case, we shall go our separate ways. We're destined to be enemies that hold lifelong grudges against each other.”

“I refuse.” Lionel grabbed her by her arm, his tone grim as he spoke. “We have other options. We're both exhausted after going through all of that, so can't you stop being so stubborn? Come back with me, and we can start over.”

“Start over?” Victoria sneered, shaking her head. “We can't possibly do that. You ruined the Saunders family. More importantly, you sent my brother to jail. That record destroyed him, heir to the Saunders family. I would be disloyal to my family if I married you. That would be treachery.”

Lionel's face was drained of all color.

Revenge felt exceptionally sweet back then, but it was at the cost of losing the love of his life.

Victor's imprisonment ultimately put them in irreconcilable positions.

“I'm worn out, Lionel. I've lost all my zest for life because of you. We've come to the end of our path together. Please just let me go. Can't you give me some peace?”

Upon noticing that Lionel seemed to have more to say, she added, “My father is on his deathbed, and my family is bankrupt. Lionel's imprisonment and my reputation being tarnished had accelerated his impending death, all of which you played a hand in. Do you still think we have a future together?”
