The girl caressed her slightly protruding belly, talking to herself with the corners of her lips curled into a happy arc, a breeze brushed her face lifting her long hair...
"Nicole..." In her confusion, a whisper spilled out, and at the same time, a tear rolled down her cheek, "I’m sorry..."
He shouldn’t have nullified her contributions for his own sake because of her capriciousness, and he shouldn’t have chosen betrayal for the warmth of another woman...
In his final moments, Julian Zane saw that recklessly joyous girl smiling and waving at him,
"Nicole, when I reach the netherworld, I will make amends to you..."
Julian Zane died suddenly. The funeral was held three days later, organized with the help of Nathan Moore.
A few business acquaintances were invited, and to Titus Zane’s surprise, Olivia Zane was unusually tranquil, not wailing or causing a scene. Standing beside Julian Zane’s coffin, she lowered her gaze, mechanically thanking friends who came to offer their respects. When it was time to entomb Julian, she fainted from exhaustion right in front of the grave.
After the funeral, Nathan Moore drove her back to the villa. Looking through the window at the scenery retreating into the distance, Titus Zane’s mood was suppressed and heavy. Newest update provided by NoveIꜰire.net
As his daughter, she could not pass judgment on the complex relationship between her parents and Ariana Evans.
Back then, her mother Nicole Zane fell in love with Julian Zane at first sight, waiting at the university gate every day to pursue him proactively...
Latter, after they moved in together and had a baby, her mother wanted to improve their current situation.
At that time, her father’s company was just starting up and was constantly harassed, which was distressing. Her grandmother also suddenly passed away from a heart attack caused by the shock. Overwhelmed, her father was arguing with her mother every day and later fell ill and was admitted to the hospital...
That’s where he met Ariana Evans who worked at the hospital. At that time, she was young, and her mother had to stay home to take care of her. During a visit to see her father in the hospital, she caught him in an affair with Ariana Evans. Her mother, in the heat of youth, caused a huge scene at the hospital, which had a significant impact. In a subsequent argument with her father, she fainted from anger on the spot and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, where Ariana Evans took advantage of her position to tamper with the IV.
The Zane Family did not pursue the matter, simply because the situation at the time was urgent, and the authorities were deeply investigating the mastermind behind it. In fact, if her mother hadn’t died from the medical accident, she would eventually have been taken to court. In that era, no matter how powerful your backing was, it would have been a capital offense...
Her mother’s death conveniently suppressed this matter, and thus, the Zane Family did not pursue it. However, her father Julian couldn’t escape the Zane Family’s punishment. She heard that her grandfather shot him in the chest, and after two days and nights of emergency treatment, he was out of danger...
Since then, her grandfather cut off all ties with the Zane Family, and Julian Zane, filled with self-reproach, turned to hatred due to that bullet from his grandfather...
The past is always difficult to revisit, like an old yellowed diary, opening it always weighs heavily on the heart.
Taking a deep breath, as a daughter, Titus Zane could not judge whether her mother Nicole Zane’s love for her father was worth it or not.
However, for a man to know that his wife was deliberately murdered, yet still share a bed with the murderer for over thirty years, Titus Zane truly felt that her mother deserved more.
