?Chapter 1036:


    A tear trickled down Hackett’s cheek as he clutched at a flicker of hope. “It has to be Dani’s influence over him. It must be!”


    Bruno nodded, his loyalty unwavering. “I’ll confront Dani myself! Hackett, I’ll right this wrong on your behalf!”


    Energized by resolve, Bruno set off that afternoon to confront Dani. That evening, Bruno’spany was bought out for a mere dor, sending him spiraling into despair and eventually a psychiatric ward. The following day, Tripp’spany suffered the same fate.


    Terrified, Farley sought out Huey. “What deal did you strike with Dani? I’ll do anything to protect mypany and family.”


    Huey took out a confession from his drawer.


    Farley gazed at the written confession in disbelief. “You’ve confessed?”


    Huey, typically the epitome of lightheartedness, now bore a grave look. “Yes, I’ve confessed.”


    “Do you grasp the gravity of what you’ve done?”


    With a nod, Huey replied, “Absolutely, but you said it yourself, didn’t you? To safeguard yourpany and family, you’d go to any length. Moreover, we were at fault, right?”


    A tumult of emotions danced across Farley’s eyes as hepsed into silence again, wrestling with his thoughts.


    Eventually, Farley’s voice, thick with emotion, broke the silence. “But I don’t want to dredge up the past. Brylee has been gone for years.”


    Huey, shaking his head, cradled his granddaughter closer. “For us, it may be history since we benefited. But for Dani, the past still lingers. She’s trapped in the moment her mother died, her eyes filled with usation, branding us murderers. All she seeks is justice.”


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    Gently caressing his granddaughter’s hair, Huey added, “I’vee to greatly respect her bravery. Her mother would have been profoundly touched to witness her relentless pursuit of justice after all these years. I aspire to be someone who inspires others. I want the kids in my family to grow up respecting their grandfather, not seeing him as a coward.”


    Farleypsed into silence, lost in his thoughts. After a heavy pause, he resolved himself and whispered to Huey, “If I confess everything to Dani and face the consequences, will she forgive me?”


    Huey gave a reassuring nod. “Absolutely. Dani is fair. Farley, blindly following Hackett will lead you nowhere but a dead end.”


    Farley pursed his lips, then nodded resolutely. “Alright, I’ll go and see Dani.” Huey gently set his granddaughter down. “I’ll apany you.”


    Just as they were about to step out, Huey abruptly halted, realizing he had forgotten his coat, so he asked Farley to wait outside.


    But just as he turned, a ck car parked across the street erupted in a violent explosion.


    Farley, who had just stepped in, was engulfed in the st.


    Huey stood rooted to the spot, his mind reeling from the shock, unable to move for what felt like an eternity. Finally, he managed to pull out his phone and dialed Dani, his voice quaking. “Hackett has struck!”
