Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 327

After listening to Patrick recount the events of the past few days, Quinton felt like a bolt our of the blue. His face turned pale, aging him by seve years in an instant. It took him a long moment to compose himself. He thought, No wonder the police had the financial repom. No wonder I had a nagging feeling all along. The worst has truly come to pass" Quinton's lips twitched. "Patrick, is she all right?"

Patrick nodded and said, "I believe Mom will pull through, but this incident has hurt her too deeply I'm afraid she'll never forgive you. Dad, is all of this true? Do you have any reasons?"

Quinton let out a long sigh, with tears glistening in his eyes. "It's all my fault. Over 20 years ago, when Harvey Gimup was first listed and not yet on track, I drank too much to impress a major client 1 blacked out, and when I woke up, there was no turning back. My first thought was that Sara must never know. I was terrified she wouldn't forgive me and would leave. I convinced myself it was just a drunken mistake, not something I d intentionally. I thought as long as I settled it financially, everything would be line"

He continued. "Later, I learned the woman was pregnant. I sent my people there to ensure the child was aborted, regardless of the cout. You a me cold-hearted and cruel, but that child was a ticking time bomb. However, Sofia still give birth. At that time, I was right by Sara's side, waiting for her to deliver. We lost Selina, and Sara desperately needed a child a distract her. But it turned out to be a stillbirth"

Finally, he said. "When I was informed that Sofa had given birth to Ashley and they were awaiting my instructions, Lacted recklessly. † spared no expense to drive Sofia out of Clusia, never to return, gave her enough money to live comfortably, and swapped Ashley for the stillborn child. tr worked perfectly. Sara never suspected a thing and treated Ashley as a substitute for the lost Selua, cherishing her deeply"

Cora snapped angrily, saying "How could you be so foolish. Quinton Dud you think you could hide something this massive forever! One slip-up and it's a disaster. This only deepens the hurt you have caused to Sara"

"I wanted to confess many times. I knew this day would come, but sering Sara's smiling fire and how the adored Ashley, the words just wooldin'i come out. Now, I know this is my karma. Whatever luppens in me, I deserve it. My greatest regret is for Sara and our children." Quinton clutched his hair in anguish.

Patrick lowered his head and said, "Dad, let me be blunt. The enemies are coming at us with full force. With past the five of us. I can't promise we' be able to protect Harvey Group, but we will give it everything we've got. No matter what mistakes you've made, the Harvey family and Harvey Group have always been our foundation and pride!"

Quinton said, "Just do your best. Patrick. If you can't protect it, then consider it my fault. Ull take all the blame. Right now, I don't anything else. 1 just want Sara and all of you to be safe. Even if you sell the shares of Harvey Group, it would be enough to keep our family wealthy

cabour for generations. You're young and talented. You can start your own business and create your own empire. Don't let Harvey Group drag you

Patrick replied. "Your words lift some weight off my shoulders, but 1 wall still do my best. Ill hire the best lawyers and work to get you out on bail as soon as possible. Dad. Harvey Group needs you to get through this crisis"

"It's too late, Patrick. Ashley gave the evidence she collected to Sofia. They ve set a trap for me. I won't be getting out anytime soon. No wonder when Ashley was a teenager, she always liked to play in my study. Ashley was so young then, so I didn't think much of it. It turns out she alread knew she wasn't Sara's biological daughter and was paving her path, I have invited trouble into our home." Visiting hours ended. Quinton stood, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at Cora. "I'm begging you, Cora. The kids are preoccupied with Harvey Group. Please take care of Sara 1 know saying this won't help, but I don't want anything to happen to her. That would be worse than dying for me

Cora responded, "Sara is my best friend. Of course, I protect her. You don't need to worry about that. Quinton, we've been friends for so many years. I'm truly disappointed in you"

After Cora and Patrick left the police station. Cora sighed heavily and looked at Patrick. "Patrick, you're under too much pressure. Don't push yourself too hard. Just do what you can Even though Cora didn't know all the details seeing Harvey Group's stock price plummet and Panck looking so gaunt over the past few days made her heart ache.

"I will, Mrs. Clark II leave my mom in your hands," Patrick stated.

Cora responded, "Leave it to

Patrick replied, "Thank you"

there's any shifficulty, just tell me, and 111 ask Timothy and the others to help you"
