Mabel Quinn took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Harris, what happened between us is already in the past. Whether it’s right or wrong now, it doesn’t matter anymore. To me, now or in the future, you will always be Mr. Harris. As for Isaac Zimmerman, who didn’t see anything back then, he seems more like someone who only exists in my memory now. I don’t want to destroy that memory. So, let’s leave things at that. If there’s nothing else you want to say, could you please have your drivers move the cars so I can leave?"

Her voice was calm and polite, yet carried a heavy sense of detachment.
The color drained from Daniel Harris’s face, and the pain in his eyes deepened. "So you still refuse to forgive me, is that it?" He suddenly grabbed her arm.
The bodyguards beside Mabel Quinn wanted to intervene, but Daniel Harris’s men had already stepped in to block them. They were outnumbered, and Mabel only had two bodyguards, leaving them helpless.
Mabel Quinn frowned and looked at Daniel Harris, saying, "Between you and me, there’s no question of forgiveness. After all, you never owed me anything."
However, her words only made his hand on her arm tremble even more. "So, to you, I’m no longer that brother Isaac Zimmerman, just a stranger?"
She pressed her red lips together, staying silent, yet her silence signified acceptance.
Daniel Harris’s thin lips quivered as he spoke, seeming somewhat dazed, "I never wanted to be just strangers with you. When I left Drumbeat Village, I swore that if one day I could make something of myself, I would make you the happiest woman."
"But now, I am already very happy," Mabel Quinn replied. "My happiness doesn’t need to come from you."
His body shook, and clarity returned to his eyes, but his pale face looked as fragile as glass. Daniel Harris let out a bitter laugh and said, "Yes, you now... no longer need me to provide happiness..." Because someone else was by her side, and he had missed her for so many years.
Even when she recognized him, he still kept missing the chance.
Suddenly, several more cars drove up, surrounding them.
Mabel Quinn stared blankly at the unexpected scene before her, only to see more people getting out of those cars. The first person to step out was—Kyle Kinston!
Mabel Quinn looked utterly surprised. Why was Kyle here? Especially... bringing so many people with him!
The scene before her made Mabel feel like she was watching a police and gangster movie.
Passersby on the roadside also glanced over, some even thinking they were shooting a film.
Kyle Kinston walked forward with a cold expression and said, "Daniel Harris, can you return my girlfriend now?" As he spoke, he had already walked up to Daniel Harris and Mabel Quinn. Those men Daniel brought tried to stop Kyle’s approach but were subdued by the people Kyle had brought.
Kyle Kinston clasped Daniel Harris’s wrist with one hand, making it clear that if Daniel didn’t let go, he would use force.
Daniel Harris’s gaze fell on Kyle Kinston’s face, overshadowed with unwillingness, jealousy, and resentment. This man was the one whom Mabel called the source of her happiness; his chance lost created another man’s opportunity.
