Marcus rushed in and drove his foot straight into my chest.

I was sent flying, slammed into the wall, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sophia threw herself into Marcus’s arms, sobbing.

“Marcus, she tried to kill me… She said I ruined her hand and wanted to murder me to avenge that bastard child…”

Holding Sophia, Marcus turned to look at me.

“Alex, you’re completely irrational! Just because you don’t want to play the piano, because you can’t stand seeing Sophia with me, you make up lies like this?”

He walked toward me step by step.

“I was going to leave you a shred of dignity. But since you don’t know when to stop, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

He pulled out his phone and dialed a number right in front of me.

“Go find Alex’s daughter. I don’t care where she’s hiding—send her to the boarding school in the west of the city immediately.”

“Without my permission, the mother and daughter are not to see each other again.”

He hung up and looked at me coldly.

“Alex, this is the price of your madness. In this lifetime, you’ll never see that bastard again.”

A boarding school?

Never see her again?

Lying on the floor, I laughed.

“Ha… hahaha…”
