The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 465 Lucy Was Taken Back

Presently, Charles' lost memories flooded back, and silent tears streamed down his aged face. His fingers trembled as a voice echoed in his ears, and slowly, he

opened his eyes.

As his vision cleared, he took in the faces of those around him. His emotions surged uncontrollably, and he wept.

"Marcus, I remember everything now." His voice trembled. "I remember everything."

Tears fell freely down his face. "It was Cassie. It was all her doing.

"That wretched bitch! Everything was her doing! All these years, Laura suffered because of my failure as a father. I raised that twisted monster."

Wiping at his tears, he choked out, "I have wronged Laura, I have wronged you... I have wronged our entire family."

"Charles, have some tea first." Hector handed him a cup of the calming tea he had prepared in advance. "Don't let yourself get too worked up."

Charles turned to look at Marcus, who stood in silence. "Marcus, do you blame me?"

There was so much Marcus wanted to say, yet so much he couldn't.

Charles sobbed uncontrollably, wracked with guilt and regret.

Some mistakes could be undone, but some wounds, once inflicted, could never truly heal.

Laura and Marcus had been the most innocent victims in all of this.

"I forgot everything from back then. I even forgot Adam. In my memories, Elijah and Noah were orphans whom Sheldon and I brought back to be raised alongside Marcus to be trained as his most loyal men.

"But in truth, it was Adam who saved the Holden family at the most critical moment. And yet, I don't even remember what happened to him. I don't remember where he went."

His voice broke as he spoke, and Marcus stepped forward, handing him a tissue. "Grandpa, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself." His own voice was hoarse, the weight of everything pressing down on him.

"Marcus, this was my failure. I failed to discipline Cassie. I allowed her to grow into a monster capable of such unforgivable acts. I will have her captured immediately. I will make this right for you and Laura."

He reached for his phone, but before he could dial, Marcus placed a hand over his.
