Chapter 750

Pressing his lips together, he was consumed with the absurdity of it all. How could he have been so

easily deceived by the one he loved?

A realization gnawed at him; his unwavering trust in her had led him to choose her side time and time

again.

The woman he had once loved so deeply had now become the focus of his hatred.

Memories of his cruelty towards Millie flooded his mind, and his heart ached in a way he couldn’t

explain.

Fiona suddenly fell to her knees before Leon, desperation in her eyes. She knew that without him, she

would return to her old, impoverished life, or perhaps something even worse.

With tears in her eyes, she begged, “Flynn, I’m begging you. Give me one more chance. Please! I’ll

change back to the person you loved.”

Leon’s voice was filled with bitterness as he replied, “Do you really think you can return to the way you

were? What I miss most is your kindness, but you’ve discarded it. In that case, I’m done with you.”

The fact that she was kneeling before him made him realize that she was just doing it for his money,

and it filled him with revulsion. Millie had knelt before him once, but it had been to save a life, an act

that deserved a modicum of respect.

A sense of hopelessness settled over him. There was no one left in the world for him to care for.

Seething with anger, Leon turned away and left coldly. Fiona’s fingers clawed at the air, attempting to

grab the corner of his clothing, but she failed. She closed her eyes, a feeling of dread washing over her.

Her dream of marrying into wealth was shattered.

“Millie, you set me up. You are so cruel. You robbed me of my happiness. I curse you to be hit by a car

when you step outside!” Fiona shouted in desperation.

Millie shifted her gaze away from the retreating figure of Leon, a sneer curving her lips. In her opinion,

Fiona deserved no sympathy.

“I’m sure you’re well aware of whether it’s a setup or a fact,” she answered.

Feeling Marcus’ cold stare, Fiona was filled with fear. In the end, she realized she was no match for

Millie.

Standing up, Fiona turned to look at Giovanni.

She then said, “So you’ve betrayed me already. How foolish you are. Now that I have nothing, you can’t

extract a single penny from me. You are the greatest fool in the world. You didn’t help me; instead, you

helped Millie.”

Giovanni remained silent, his face unreadable. Between life and money, the choice was clear to him:

life was paramount.

He walked over to Marcus, with his head bowed and a defeated look in his eyes.

Giovanni’s voice was firm as he said, “Mr. Thomas, | will leave Preagend immediately and never

return.”

Fiona’s eyes widened in surprise as a cold realization dawned on her.

Turning around, Giovanni brushed past Fiona, his voice tinged with resignation.

“Life means more to me than money.”
