No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 633



"Jacqueline, betrayal doesn't just happen once. If it's done once, it can happen again. Conrad has completely lost my trust. Even if I don't choose Dustin, Conrad is definitely not an option," I cut off Jacqueline's hope sharply.

"Dustin isn't an option either," Herschel, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

I wasn't surprised. The words Jacqueline shared with me had clearly been discussed with Herschel beforehand.

"Herschel, we're living in an era of free love. Besides, do you think Dustin knows you're trying to sway my decision like this?" I asked with a slight chuckle.

Herschel's face turned sour, "Felicia, I know things can never go back to how they used to be between us. You may not hold me accountable, but that doesn't mean you harbor no resentment towards me. If you're upset, you can take it out on me, but I won't allow you to drive a wedge between those two brothers."

"Herschel, you're reading too much into it. I'm not trying to stir up trouble between them. I just want a simple life," I said with self-mockery, pulling at the corner of my mouth. "All I'm looking for is someone who loves me, a stable home, my own little haven."

"Felicia, if all you want is someone to love you, I can introduce you to better candidates," Jacqueline said urgently.

"But would Dustin agree to that? On my way here, he told me he only wants me, even if I still have feelings for Ernest," my words made both of them visibly upset, and they fell silent.

After a while, Jacqueline finally spoke with sorrow, "But if you end up with Dustin, it could ruin Conrad."

They were worried about ruining Conrad, but what about my Ernest? He was already destroyed.

I glanced outside, where Conrad and Dustin were talking, though I couldn't hear what about. Likely, it was about me.

Perhaps Conrad was also pressuring Dustin to give up on me, just like Jacqueline and Herschel.

Brothers turned against each other over a woman; this must be the greatest tragedy for this couple.

There's an old saying that karma will always find its way. Maybe it was meant to be this way.

They took me in out of guilt for what happened to my parents, never imagining that it would drive a wedge between their once close-knit family because of me.

"Jacqueline, I understand what

you're saying, but some things are

not for me to decide. I can reject Dustin, but if he refuses to give up on me there's nothing I can do I left the dilemma for Dustin to solve.

BUMS

His love for me, so long and so twisted, even going as far as to harm others, including Conrad, clearly showed the extent of his obsession. Such love isn't easily stopped.

And that was my reason for getting close to Dustin. I wanted him to destroy everything he had, and then I would destroy him.

"Felicia Hudson," Herschel called me by my full name, something he hadn't done in a long, long time. I knew what that meant.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I looked at him as he leaned forward in his chair. Jacqueline quickly helped him over to the sofa across from me.

He sat down opposite me and pulled

out an envelope from the drawer, "Aside from what you rightfully deserve, this includes my compensation. Sign it, and it's alt yours. But I have one conditign leave here, stay away from my sons."

I opened the envelope, finding transfer documents for an

compensation, amounting to several billion in total.

So much money, and he was giving it all to me. It seemed he now viewed money as worthless.

All he desired was a harmonious family life, filial piety, brotherly love.

But what about me?

Because of his momentary greed, I lost my loving parents, my home, and now his sons were continuing his legacy of selfishness, causing me to lose the man I loved the most.

The saying goes, "Like father, like son."

Waving the envelope stuffed with billions, I asked, "Herschel, are you trying to make a deal with me using this?"

"There's no deal to be made. This has always been yours," came Dustin's voice from the doorway.
