Chapter 945

+25 Bonus

Desperate to give their daughter a chance, the elderly couple could do nothing but plead with Barney for help.

Barney had once been close to Angela, and they had even met with her lawyer. Angela had told them that Barney shared a blood relation with Khloe. If Barney could persuade Khloe to show leniency, Angela might only serve a few years before being released.

Angela promised that once she was free, she would care for her parents and for Pete properly, and would never act recklessly again.

Seeing their daughter begging so pitifully, the couple cast aside all pride. Even if it meant humiliation, they had to try.

Angela’s mother couldn’t hold back her tears. She crouched down, cradling Pete in her arms.

“Mr. Lemont, Angela knows she was wrong. Pete is still so young, and we have no other children… I beg you, please… please, and Khloe. Let us make amends. Can’t you give her just one more chance?”

Pete, held by his grandmother, sobbed as he added his own plea. “Uncle Barney… please… forgive Mom… I miss Mom…”

The assistant could no longer stand it and raised his hand to force them back.

Barney didn’t intervene. He simply turned his head, saying nothing.

But Angela’s parents ignored him, kneeling with Pete in tow, continuing their desperate begging.

Two bodyguards in the room exchanged a glance. Seeing that their boss remained silent, they knew his decision and moved to

clear the intruders.

Pete, however, darted toward Barney’s bedside. 1

“Uncle Barney! Didn’t you promise Mom you’d be my new dad? Uncle Barney… please… I want Mom to come back…”

The boy’s cries were pitiful, tears streaking his small face as he begged.

The assistant rushed forward and pulled him away.

Barney’s gaze darkened, yet the child’s pleading stirred something deep within him. He had a son of his own, living with his ex-

wife, roughly the same age as Pete.

Looking at Pete, Barney couldn’t help but think of his own boy. He had once liked Angela and pitied her and Pete’s orphaned mother situation. He had made promises to the boy then.

But now, seeing Angela’s extreme, unrepentant behavior, Barney had lost all hope. Those promises felt nothing but cruelly

ironic.

“You should leave,” he said finally. “I will not forgive Angela, and I have no right to plead for her. The only thing I can do is give you a severance package. Whether you accept it is up to you. Perhaps raising the child yourselves will be better than with her.”

His voice was low, weak, drained of energy.

Even so, Angela’s parents refused to leave. They continued to cry and beg. Pete’s wails grew desperate.

Seeing their soft approach failing, the bodyguards had no choice but to get rough.

“Disturbing a patient like this… is this your way of showing remorse? No wonder you failed to guide your daughter. You only care for yourselves; how can you expect forgiveness?”

At that moment, a cool female voice cut through from the doorway.

Khloe stepped forward from behind, glancing at the sobbing Pete with a faint, knowing smile.

“Pete… we meet again.”
