Chapter 370



Errol’s lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to retort, but he seemed to think better of it and closed his eyes, helpless and pained.

Kallie noticed something was wrong. Did Sarah have something on Errol? But it didn’t matter now.

Those who had called for violence had fled when noting Errol’s arrival. The people Sarah had brought were now under the control of Errol’s men.

As Kallie signaled, someone moved to restrain Sarah. “Errol is right. He can’t protect you this time. Sarah, I hold a grudge against you and will never forget what you’ve done to me. I didn’t expect you to come looking for me so eagerly. Do you think I won’t dare to retaliate?”

Sarah struggled, her eyes betraying a deep sense of unease. She continued shouting, trying to bolster her confidence, “Who do you think you are, Kallie? I don’t believe you can actually rise above me. You’re just a piece of garbage. You always have been, and you still are.”

Liza hurried back, her face flushed with anger. “Kallie, she’s so noisy!”

Kallie responded coldly, “Then make sure she stays quiet forever. I find it noisy as well.”

Sarah’s legs went limp, and she nearly collapsed to the floor. The bodyguard dragged Sarah out. Her scolding echoed through the room long after she had left.

The private room fell silent. Kallie touched the wounds on her body, her eyes dim with pain.

Errol knelt before Kallie. His handsome face was etched with pain and guilt. “Kallie, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. You can scold me if you want. How could I have been so careless and unwittingly let you suffer so much? If I hadn’t arrived in time, I don’t know what might have happened. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.”

Errol slapped himself in frustration, cursing as he did. “Errol…” Kallie grabbed his hand, stopping him from harming himself.

Errol looked up, meeting her round eyes.

“I don’t blame you. As I said before, you could have enjoyed your life as the eldest son of the Payne family. I appreciate your dedication to this auction house. If it weren’t for you, this auction house wouldn’t have become the biggest in Avalon. You’ve managed it well, and I should be thankful.”

“But…” Kallie shifted her tone, saying coldly, “I need to make something clear today. I don’t understand why you’re in love with Sarah. As you can see, there is an irreconcilable conflict between Sarah and me.

You must choose between her and the auction house. Of course, if you choose to leave the auction house, I will still provide you with an honorarium.”

Errol’s eyes quivered slightly, and his throat felt incredibly bitter. He already knew what choice to make, but he couldn’t bring himself to act.

Errol lowered his head awkwardly, avoiding Kallie’s gaze. “I can’t break the engagement with Sarah. I’m sorry.”

Kallie released her grip on Errol’s wrist. She wasn’t angry, just confused. What had happened between Sarah and Errol? Errol was not a fool. He must have investigated what kind of person Sarah was. Since he didn’t want to disclose any more, Kallie decided not to probe.

“Please help me choose a new director. Errol, this won’t affect our friendship, but I need to warn you in advance.” Kallie spoke coldly. “This time, I won’t let Sarah get away easily.”
