CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 428: THE BEGINNING OF SELF-REPROACH

Countless nights of tossing and turning, countless days of regret and self-blame. He truly had enough of this kind of life.

Amanda Warren was momentarily stunned upon hearing Tom Quinn’s words, then her eyes filled with intense anger.

"You ungrateful wolf, wasn’t everything I did back then for your sake? If not for you, how would I have done something so heartless?"

Amanda suddenly roared, lunging at Tom, her once charming face now twisted with rage, her fists relentlessly pounding on the man’s chest.

The man stood expressionless, letting her fists land on him without any change in his demeanor.

But his lips parted slightly, "This is retribution for both of us, we should seek redemption."

Hearing Tom speak this way, Amanda’s tears began to fall. Back then, it was because she saw Tom living in so much pain and sorrow. Yet now, this man, in his current state, receives her kindness...

And even shifted all the blame onto her... She had never realized that this man could be so ungrateful and oblivious to kindness.

"Alright, enough with the arguing and fighting,"

Old Mrs. Quinn shouted, breaking up the two who were grabbing at each other.

Amanda, pressing her tears, sat on one side trembling, occasionally shooting venomous glares at Tom.

Tom stood up, expressionless, sitting on the sofa, his detached gaze sweeping around the room but revealing no extra emotions...

Seeing her son ashen-faced, Old Mrs. Quinn sighed helplessly.

Had I known it would come to this, why did I act like that in the first place?

If they hadn’t taken the wrong step from the very beginning, would they be in this situation now?

"Now with everything..."

"Even if Sienna Quinn plans to let us off, I don’t intend to forgive myself." Before Old Mrs. Quinn could finish, Tom interrupted her.

Amanda was momentarily stunned and glared at Tom fiercely.

Why is this person so ungrateful? Must things come to this?

"If you truly don’t intend to forgive, then don’t forgive yourself, just don’t drag me into it," Amanda said coldly.

When disaster strikes, everyone flies off on their own ways surely applies to the two of them.

Hearing Amanda’s words, Clara Quinn was momentarily stunned, looking at the woman in surprise.

"Mom, what nonsense are you saying?"

"If he was so unkind from the start, then don’t blame me for being unrighteous." The woman’s voice grew colder, her gaze fixed tightly on the man, her icy eyes seeming to vent her dissatisfaction.

Feeling the woman’s fury, Tom truly had no expression, coldly looking at the woman in front of him.

"This is not my problem, even if I am willing to let you go, Sienna absolutely won’t." The man’s voice grew even colder, eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Amanda.

Having come to this point, it was no longer under his control. Even if Amanda kept making all sorts of threats, it would not do any good.

Amanda glared fiercely at Tom, having spent her life with him, he still wouldn’t let her go, how could this man be so heartless?

Old Mrs. Quinn frowned as she looked at the two clashing people. Clearly, he was very angry with how they were speaking.

"Both of you stop arguing and shut your mouths."

Seeing Old Mrs. Quinn’s already furrowed brow, Amanda and Tom obediently closed their mouths.

"If anyone continues to argue, then leave this house."

Old Mrs. Quinn, leaning on her cane, slowly walked out. This house had become unsettling, and even made her feel perturbed and troubled; rather than worrying inside, it was better to go out and relax a bit...

Watching Old Mrs. Quinn leave, Tom expressionlessly returned to his study. However, at this moment, only Amanda and Clara were left in the living room, and Clara slowly stepped forward, hugging the woman in front of her, tears like large beans continuing to fall...

The two women embraced each other, crying constantly. Amanda held the woman in her arms, sobbing softly, "Your father is really driving me insane."

"There will certainly be a solution to this matter." Clara kept comforting her mother, knowing that the woman was already on the edge of a breakdown.

"What solution could there be now? She absolutely won’t let me and your dad off."

Amanda’s eyes were filled with deep distress; she still couldn’t believe this was real.

The girl who used to be submissive now turned so assertive, so different from back then...

Even making Amanda afraid to recognize her, how did it turn out this way?

Amanda couldn’t believe it even now...

Nor could Clara! But what does disbelief solve now? Sienna’s powerful return caught them off guard...

"I’ll go find her now. I won’t let her succeed no matter what."

Clara’s voice was unusually firm, inspiring an unprecedented trust, while Amanda looked dazedly at the previously weak daughter, suddenly with teary eyes pulled her into her arms.

"I knew you are still the one who cares the most for me compared to your useless father."

"Don’t say that about father... Although I don’t know what really happened between you, I can feel that his psychological pressure is really huge."

At this point, Clara’s voice carried a hint of sadness.

Obviously, Amanda was father’s wife, but why couldn’t she feel the sadness emanating from him?

Now finally understanding why she couldn’t feel the warmth of love in this house.

Because her parents were only married on the surface.

But even as mere married partners, could she just stand by and watch as their later years are spent in prison?

Clara changed her clothes and left the villa, slowly leaving under Amanda’s gaze...

Compared to her husband, her daughter was the most capable, and Clara was the one who felt for her the most... Spending the rest of her life in prison was absolutely impossible.

Even if Clara didn’t succeed today, she still wouldn’t go...

At worst, she would perish together with her.

Amanda’s eyes gradually turned sinister, instead of passively waiting, it’s better to strike back fiercely.

After leaving the villa, Clara drove to Sienna’s apartment, but frowned slightly upon seeing the closed door.
