Claudia looked at him without showing any emotion, her eyes steady. “I regret it. If I could go back, I wouldn’t have saved you.”
Lydia’s loud, angry yelling didn’t hurt him as much as that one quiet sentence.
Zane panicked. “I didn’t know … I really thought it was Lydia …” He stumbled over his words, biting his tongue. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Claudia smiled and held Sterling’s hand, which he had reached out to her, then stared Zane right in the eye. “Your apology means nothing. It doesn’t matter now. I don’t care, Zane.”
She had been hurt by Zane before.
That sweet little brother, always leaning on her, the one she was closest to, the one she treated like a lifeline. Every time she fought with Lydia, he’d jump in to defend the other side.
He would get so angry, like she was his worst enemy instead of the sister he used to adore.
From him, she had learned that being related by blood doesn’t mean anything.
Emma, who had been quietly watching everything, curled her lip and gave Zane a look full of disgust. “Why didn’t you regret it sooner? And your way of apologizing is to make a mess and then let someone else clean it up? Even a kid knows ‘sorry‘ isn’t just words. You won’t even give up a piece of candy.”
She paused, then her eyes went wide with suspicion. “Wait! Are you only siding with Claudia now because she’s doing well and your so–called hero sister, who’s a convict, is just embarrassing herself? That’s low!”
Everyone in the room, including friends and the nearby police, gave Zane strange looks.
He froze, feeling like he’d been hit with a ton of dirt. He wanted to explain, but no one was listening,
The man who was supposed to be his future brother–in–law, quiet until now, stared at him coldly, Zane felt like he was being watched by a wild animal–one wrong move and it would tear him apart.
In that awkward, tense silence, a familiar voice finally saved him.
“Zane.”

Chapter 319 Your Apology Means Nothing
Seeing Clarence, Zane ran over like he had found help.
But the first thing he felt was a sharp, loud slap.
For a moment, the room went completely still.
Zane stared at Clarence, unable to believe it.
Clarence had slapped him in front of everyone!

Even the few followers he usually bossed around were staring at him in shocked disbelief.
Zane’s eyes turned red. “Who gave you the right to hit me?!”
Clarence’s gaze was icy.
“Who gave me the right? Mom’s in the hospital, Dad’s running around, I’m working myself to the bone every day! And what are you doing? Racing, fighting, making enemies! Listen, Zane! No one in this family will let you get away with this. You caused this mess, you fix it!”
This little brother was useless, and now, at the worst time, he was still causing trouble.
Clarence thought about how he had planned to sell the family’s sports car and house to cover their money problems, and maybe use some of it to shut Lydia up. But he didn’t find the car and ended up with a pile of tickets and repair bills instead. It made him furious.
