Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 944

"Then keep listening to him,"

Owen replied with careless indifference.

You actually believed his bullshit? Idiots.

"Well... what is Sera supposed to do now?"

Sebastian's handsome face had gone slightly pale, but he forced himself to keep asking.

"You're her father. Why are you asking me?"

When you agreed to let her get engaged to Lawrence, did you ask us?

Back then, they acted as if they were terrified Owen and Mira would find out. They had finalized everything before even telling Grandma Eleanor.

When they agreed to the wedding, they kept everyone in the dark too. The only reason they had sought out the old lady later was to squeeze her assets for Sera's dowry.

"Mira, are you really not going to show any mercy at all?"

Unable to sway Owen, Sebastian turned his desperation toward Mira.

"The law doesn't care about mercy, Sebastian. You should know that. Like Owen just said, if you want to help Lawrence, you better go find a lawyer fast."

If he had truly viewed her as family, he never would have allied with Lawrence in the first place. Sebastian had known perfectly well that Mira and Owen were mortal enemies with Lawrence.

"Did you two know from the beginning that Lawrence was the one who did it?"

Gwen demanded through her tears.

"You did this on purpose! You deliberately let Sera marry him just so she'd suffer!"

Owen couldn't be bothered to engage with her. Mira scoffed. "What a joke. We aren't her parents. Do we have the power to dictate who she marries?"

"Then why didn't you warn us beforehand?"

Sebastian argued.

Mira let out a sharp laugh. "Warn you? When you said yes to Lawrence, did you bother asking us?"

"It all happened so fast."

Sebastian pleaded.

Mira ignored his excuses and kept firing. "And his relationship with Owen? The entire city of Aethelgard knows about it. Did you somehow miss the memo?

They are mortal enemies, locked in a fight to the death. You live in Aethelgard, and you had no clue?

And let's not forget that Lawrence has tried to kill me and Owen multiple times.

You knew about that too.

I told you about the incident on the plane back when I was still in Melvion City. I told you about the shared bike business sabotage.

I even told you how he conspired with Roxanne Porter to have The Vane Syndicate capture me...

I laid it all out for you.

Yet you still chose to let Sera get engaged to him.

Did you even care about me at all when you made that deal?"
