Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 590

"You talk too much."

Silas completely cut off Vivienne's incessant rambling, his patience fully exhausted.

He lifted his gaze, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion. "The witness testimonies, physical evidence, transaction records, and backend login logs form a closed, airtight loop. I've already submitted the complete package to the Bio-Tech Regulatory Commission and our legal team. If you have any more excuses, save them for the investigators."

That single, effortlessly delivered statement utterly shattered Vivienne's last sliver of hope.

Her body went completely rigid. Her knees buckled, and she stumbled back half a step.

Regulators? Lawyers?

Were they going to arrest her on the spot? Was she going to prison?

If that happened, the prestigious socialite persona she had painstakingly curated, the Sinclair family's reputation, and her brilliant future would all be reduced to ashes.

An overwhelming wave of panic consumed her. With red-rimmed eyes, Vivienne whipped her head toward a furious Julian, begging through her tears. "Julian, you have to save me! Please believe me, I didn't do any of this!"

Julian's expression was just as horrific. His jaw was clenched so tight it looked ready to snap, the veins at his temples pulsing as a terrifyingly dark aura radiated from him.

Of course he wanted to save her. Even if he didn't care about Vivienne, he had to protect his own interests. But how could he? He didn't have the leverage.

But Professor Smith completely ignored her frantic begging. He turned slightly, stepping right past the pathetic displays of both Vivienne and Julian, and walked purposefully toward Willow.

The internationally renowned biological research expert bowed slightly, his posture full of sincerity and deep remorse, as he offered Willow a profound apology. "I am so deeply sorry."

A stunned silence washed over the entire room.

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Professor Smith continued. "Previously, without conducting a thorough investigation, I blindly listened to one side. I was blinded by false information, which led to countless misunderstandings about you. I publicly questioned your scientific competence, invalidated your hard-earned research, and subjected you to immense unfairness. This was a grave dereliction of duty on my part. I offer you my most sincere apologies, and I beg for your forgiveness."

Willow’s expression remained perfectly serene, her demeanor cool and graceful. She wasn't an unreasonable person. "You don't need to blame yourself, Professor. The fault doesn't lie with you. You were simply manipulated by someone with a hidden agenda."
