บท 398: The cruel reality

At Maple Regency, around half past one in the night,

In a vast, modern bedroom, Eliza was leaning on the bed's headboard in deep thought. She had rested for just a few minutes in the car due to drinks, then she was wide awake, remembering everything she had done.

The thought of Leon hurting the Lane family didn't let her take a wink of rest or ease up. If being with Leon is torturous, she was ready to endure it for her parents and sister.

She had already given up hope in her own life. She was ready to sacrifice her livelihood for their well-being.

She got off the bed and rushed out, grabbing her clutch. Alighting the stair, her speed lowered at the magnificently elegant interior of the villa.

Even though she was frightened and restless, somehow, the interior put her heart a bit at ease. Probably it was also because she wasn't at the Harmon mansion. She couldn't stop herself from admiring it as she went downstairs.
