Having learned the truth about Shu Meng's death, Ning Xiuzhuo was overwhelmed with grief.
His hatred for Mrs. Ning was no less intense than that felt by Yan Qianyi and Yan Yao.
And he absolutely loathed himself!
Watching the shame-faced Ning Xiuzhuo, Yan Qianyi didn't speak, her gaze shifting to Yan Yao instead.
She didn't blame Ning Xiuzhuo in her heart because, to her, Ning Xiuzhuo was merely a stranger.
But it was different for her brother.
Yan Yao spoke up, "The person wasn't killed by you, so why apologize?"
Ning Xiuzhuo clasped his wrist and sighed deeply, "If only I hadn't left her, if only I hadn't married Marcia, if only I hadn't contacted her years ago... she wouldn't have died at Marcia's hands."
Yan Yao calmly said, "But there are no 'ifs' in this world. Everything has already settled, and your regret won't change anything."
Ning Xiuzhuo, with tears in his eyes, asked, "Do you truly not hate me for what Marcia did?"
