Chapter 391 Judgment
The man did not miss a beat.
He betrayed his own daughter without batting an eyelid.
“Rebecca, you’ve seen what happens to the ones who break this family.
“Two options lie ahead of you.

Jarrett was already curled in the corner with his palms pressed to his ears.

Ryan and Nathan never looked away.
Tilda kept her eyes on Abram too, silent as stone.
“Can’t believe Abram would do this to his own granddaughter,” she whispered.
The Bells aren’t any different from the Jensons.
One shatters the body, the other crushes the mind.
“That’s why this punishment has lasted for generations. If you’re weak, if you drag them down, they take your strength away.”
