It’s her, it’s really her, there’s no need for any more evidence. Just from this, he knew that Mabel Quinn was the little girl who accompanied him all those years ago.
That little girl who brought warmth to his dark world, the girl he swore to cherish for life, the girl he was willing to repay with his life, but why... why did it take until now for him to realize?
Daniel Harris pounded his chest repeatedly, the kind of pain that had no outlet, with a bitter taste rising in his throat.
Ten years, ten years, what was he doing all that time? He thought he had found the most important person in his life, and then when the real her appeared before him, when she said she was ’Grace,’ he chose time and again to trust his rationality, to believe in what he thought was true.
"Why did you plagiarize her book!" Daniel Harris glared resentfully at Lyra Grant, who was slumped on the ground. At this moment, the more intense his pain, the deeper his hatred for Lyra Grant.
Lyra Grant flinched, a deep fear surged up, terrifying her to the very core, as if staying here any longer would be life-threatening.
"I... I didn’t do it on purpose, I... I know I was wrong, I just got carried away for a moment, I can apologize to Mabel Quinn..." Lyra Grant stammered as she struggled to stand up and flee.
However, before she could fully stand up, Daniel Harris kicked her back to the ground, his foot brutally pressing down on her hand, causing her to beg for mercy in pain.
But her pleas only made his expression darker with hatred, "Apologize? You don’t deserve to apologize. If you hadn’t done this, it wouldn’t have come to this!"
Then the author he was supposed to meet would have been Mabel Quinn, maybe he would have noticed something amiss sooner, maybe he wouldn’t have repeatedly chosen not to trust Mabel, pulling them further and further apart each time.
He won’t let Lyra Grant off, and he won’t let Grace Yowell off either.
But... after going through so much, will Mabel Quinn... will she forgive him? How much of that once life-and-death friendship still remains today?
Daniel Harris pressed that manuscript firmly against his chest, the girl who once was willing to share her vision with him, who saved his life, whom he considered the most important girl in his life, was pushed away by him. He chose to believe the words of the deceiver, and even demanded she apologize to the deceiver.
What was she feeling then? So she would say that the one Kay knew was the old Isaac Zimmerman.
His eyes could clearly see the world now, but he couldn’t recognize the one person who mattered most.
At this moment, the pain and regret Daniel Harris felt was indescribable.
Because of Kyle Kinston’s intervention, the number of fans who came to cause trouble decreased significantly. However, online, fans of Grace Yowell were still vigorously defending their idol.
And the issues that Mabel Quinn’s family had faced before were also brought online by some with ill intentions to attack her. But Kyle Kinston naturally wouldn’t let the situation spiral. All posts attacking Mabel Quinn and various pieces of personal information about her were deleted and blocked from the internet. Simultaneously, they identified the main agitators and reported them to the police, launching a lawsuit. Moreover, Kyle Kinston had people retrieve the video from the coffee shop that day and used the latest technology to enhance it to high definition.
