Forrest paid no attention to her outburst.

"You are in no position to negotiate with me now."

Divya had always been arrogant and willful, never truly facing defeat.

Even now, she failed to grasp the reality and believed that her parents' family business would shield her.

"I may not have the right to negotiate, but I can bind you and prevent you from being with that bitch even after you die. I will forever be your wife!"

After uttering those words, Divya turned and ran out!

Tears streamed down her face as she ran.

She ran until she lost track of time.

Exhausted from both her tears and her sprint, she settled on a decorative flower bed beside the road. There, she sat, sobbing and wiping away her tears. She refused to surrender. She couldn't understand how everything had unraveled like this.

Night fell, and darkness shrouded her surroundings.

Only then did she remember her mother. She hailed a taxi and returned home.

The house was locked, while her mother huddled by the roadside Like a homeless beggar.

She no longer resembled the noble lady she once was!

“Mom," Divya called out worriedly.

Irene clung to her daughter as if she had found a lifeline. She asked, “Are you alright?"

She feared that Forrest's actions might have pushed Divya over the edge.

After a moment, Divya replied, “Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

If it weren't for me, Forrest wouldn't have treated us so cruelly..."

Irene's hope dwindled as her daughter's words confirmed Forrest's involvement.

"So he was really involved. Why is he so cruel to our family? Your father got caught, and we lost everything we had."
