Chapter 218 Chapter 218

Kris trudged toward his car, numb. Reaching, he tossed the bag of evidence into the back seat, then slumped into the driver's seat, gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles. His hands trembled, his breaths shaky as he started the engine, staring blankly ahead. He felt sick to his stomach.

As he pulled out of the lot, the streets seemed to rush past him in a blur. His heartbeat pounded in his ears, each beat harder, faster. He could barely focus on the road, the suffocating weight of the truth pressing down on him.

The longer he drove, the worse it became. His chest tightened, and his vision blurred again. A loud horn honked as another driver sped by, jolting him back into focus.

By the time he reached the Miller mansion, his body felt like it was running on autopilot. As he entered the house, he could hear the low murmur of voices in the living room. His family was gathered there; Susan, Tyler, and aunt Cynthia. Karen was sitting with them.

As soon as Tyler saw him, he stormed towards him.

"Finally decided to show your face, huh? After having our mother locked up because of that whore Tha-" Kris's fist moved faster than he could think. It connected with Tyler's mouth, the force of the punch almost sending him to the floor. Tyler stumbled, clutching his face in shock. Blood trickled down from his busted lip.

"You hit me?" Tyler gawked, his voice muffled by the pain. His eyes blazed with disbelief and anger. Kris's expression remained stone-cold. "Speak another word against Thalassa, and I'll do it again." Tyler opened his mouth to retort, but the deadly dark aura surrounding Kris seemed to shut him up. He stepped back, the room falling silent as the tension escalated. Everyone was watching Kris, stunned by the coldness radiating off him.

Kris barely glanced at Tyler again before his eyes locked onto Karen. She had got up from the couch, stiffening when she saw the unyielding gaze he fixed on her.

"Kris... you came to see Tessa?" Karen's voice wavered. "She's upstairs... in her room."

Kris didn't respond. He walked slowly toward her, each step deliberate. When he reached her, he grabbed her by the shoulders.
