The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 406

Nathan was beaten back step by step until his spine hit the freezing wall.

He clutched the payment receipt tightly in his hand, letting his mother's fists rain down on him, entirely forgetting to defend himself.

"She wandered the streets as a child! She suffered so much, and we finally managed to bring her home..."

Mrs. Xavier sobbed uncontrollably, her face drenched in tears.

"She fell in love with Gideon when she was sixteen. She loved that man for ten whole years!"

"For ten years, just to please the Hayes family, just to be worthy of him, do you know how much humiliation she swallowed? How many tears she shed? We saw it all..."

"She finally married him. We thought she had finally made it out of the dark. And what was the result? She ended up despised by the entire city, doomed to a tragic end!"

Mrs. Xavier gripped Nathan's wrinkled collar tightly, her eyes bloodshot.

"Now she's been thrown out by the Hayes family, branded a murderer by everyone. She can't even protect herself, she's practically half-dead, and she still crawled here to pay the money to save your father's life!"

She shook Nathan's shoulders violently, screaming herself hoarse.

"You used to love your sister the most! When you were kids, if anyone dared bully her, you would fight them to the death. How did you change so much? How could you stab a knife right into her heart!"

Nathan's chest heaved violently, his face draining of color. He looked down at the crumpled receipt in his hand, his eyes locking onto those two messy, jagged signatures.

Xavier Holdings was bankrupt. His father had suffered a stroke. This catastrophic disaster had completely stripped Nathan of his sanity.

Over the past few weeks, he had watched his parents' life's work vanish into thin air. He had watched debt collectors barricade their door, and he had watched his father collapse in his office.
