Unable to cope with Ansel, Kora resorted to manipting the crowd. Suddenly, she burst into loud sobs, constantlymenting about her child. Mrs. Lani enthusiastically joined in, raising her voice to insult Erica.


    “Everyone, please take charge and fight for justice for my daughter. This girl has caused so much harm to Kora. She seduced Max, Kora’s husband-to-be. Such a wicked person like her deserves to be punished. It’s outrageous that she is shamelessly deceiving another wealthy family. Can any of you tell me where justice lies?”


    Max’s authoritative voice silenced the murmurs of conversation that had begun to spread.


    “Have you cried enough? Have you caused enough chaos?”


    “Max, you must demand justice for me!” Kora eximed as she saw Max approach. She rushed to her fiancé’s side, pleading desperately, but Max ignored her and went straight to Ansel.


    “Ansel Brown, it’s nice to meet you.” Max extended his hand toward Ansel but received no response.


    “I sincerely apologize for what Kora has caused,” Max said, feeling ashamed as he withdrew his hand.


    “If you truly understand your mistake, then do what you need to do,” Ansel replied with a subtly meaningful tone.


    “I understand,” Max responded.


    Max firmly turned around and walked back towards the stage. He grabbed the microphone and spoke with a resolute voice:


    “Ladies and gentlemen, I am Max Murphy. Today, right here, I want to offer my sincerest apology to Erica Watson, the person whom I betrayed and hurt a year ago. Back then, Erica was falsely used of assaulting Kora and causing her to miscarry. But the truth is not what it seems. It was actually me who assaulted Erica, resulting in her hospitalization. Afterwards, Kora fabricated evidence and coerced me into being a false witness to wrongly use Erica.”


    The audience fell into stunned silence, absorbing the unexpected revtion.


    Chaos and disbelief erupted throughout the entire hall as the shattering turn of events unfolded. Meanwhile, Max’s betrayal left Kora and Mrs. Lani stunned. They could only lower their heads in shame as numerous eyes turned towards them, filled with condemnation and criticism.


    “Not only that, I also heard about Kora’s false usation letter to the school, which led to Erica’s unjust expulsion. I havee to realize my mistakes, and I am deeply remorseful. Today, I want to plead with Erica for forgiveness. I also hope that the baseless rumors and false truths that have affected her reputation and life will be forever erased. Tonight’s apology is not enough; I will hold a press conference to publicly express my apologies to the entire nation.”


    Max’s words hung in the air, carrying a mixture of regret, remorse, and a genuine desire to make amends. The atmosphere in the room was heavy with tension and anticipation, awaiting Erica’s response to this unexpected turn of events.


    “Erica, I sincerely apologize.” Max stood on the stage, bowing down to his knees. Everyone’s attention was directed towards Erica.


    “Are you satisfied?” Ansel whispered in his wife’s ear.


    “My grievances have been cleansed. Thank you, my dear husband,” Erica smiled and said.


    “From now on, there will only be happiness.”


    “Yes,” she replied.


    Everything concluded peacefully as Erica nodded in agreement with Max. Afterwards, Erica and Ansel left the party to spend time together. Mrs. Hani went home with Nika.


    In a car driven by Nika.


    “What did you do to make Max reveal the truth?” Mrs. Hani asked curiously.


    “I just followed Ansel’s orders,” Nika happily disclosed. “Max’spany is about to coborate with SH. As a savvy businessman, Max had to make a wise choice. Moreover, with some carefully revealed confidential secrets, It’s very easy to manipte others.”


    “Well done,” Mrs. Hani smiled with satisfaction andplimented.


    “Yes,” Nika replied.


    …

    “There will be no more weddings,” Mrs. Mina dered firmly. “If you’re still associated with Kora, then you won’t have a mother anymore.”


    “I will end things with Kora, Mother,” Max responded decisively.


    “It’s best to cut ties as soon as possible to avoid any further troubles,” Mrs. Mina advised.


    “Yes, you’re right,” Max agreed.


    After talking with his parents, Max went outside to meet Kora. She had been waiting for him for over two hours.


    “Max, why are you onlying now? I’ve been waiting for you.”


    “We’re breaking up,” Max stated bluntly.


    “What? What do you mean?” Kora asked angrily. “Why would you do that?”


    “You’re a troublemaker. You destroy other people’s futures,” Max replied.


    Kora angrily cursed, “Max, what the hell are you talking about? How could you?”


    “Not only that, you’re a venomous snake,” Max said with a snarl, “Using any means necessary to get what you want.”


    “Max, what have I done to deserve such an insult from you? This ispletely unfair,” Kora replied, feeling shocked by Max’s question.


    “I’m asking you: Have you ever had an abortion?” Max raised his voice, interrogating her.


    “About that…” Kora stammered,pletely caught off guard by Max’s question.


    “And the pregnancy wasn’t mine,” Max emphasized.


    “That’s not true.” Kora wanted to deny the usation, but Max wouldn’t allow it.


    “It’s over, Kora. From now on, I won’t believe anything you say. We have no rtionship anymore,” Max dered.


    “No, Max, please don’t do this.” Kora held onto Max’s hand tightly, pleading, “Please don’t leave me.”


    Max turned back, swung his arm, and pped Kora hard. The force of the p made Kora let go of his hand.


    “Stay away from me, you wretch.”


    She sat on the floor, watching Max’s figure fade away, crying uncontrobly. Max walked away withplex and tumultuous emotions. He had truly loved Kora, but there were things that couldn’t be forgiven. Especially when Kora hindered the future of Max and his family. If only Kora had loved Max sincerely and wasn’t so cruel, things might have been different.
