Fated To The World’s Richest Man Book - Chapter: 1660

“No, no!” Karol trembled uncontrollably, fear radiating from her.

“How can you be so heartless? Is it only because of Lilah and that woman? Karol is your daughter too!” Danna’s shoulders trembled slightly. She and Karol were genuinely at a loss.

“Mom, don’t you see? Your unconditional pampering has ruined her,” Absolon said through gritted teeth.

“Karol, from this moment on, you are no longer my daughter. I will issue a formal notice severing our father-daughter relationship. From now on, we are strangers.”

Absolon’s voice was cold and unyielding. In an instant, Karol plunged into profound despair.

She finally broke down, collapsing onto the _ floor, overwhelmed by a sense of Listlessness.

Her most treasured possession was her identity as part of the Morris family, her sole source of pride.

But now, everything was stripped away.

Lilah and Miranda were the ones who had caused this devastation! 1

“Let’s go. Since it has come to this, we should leave. Karol, no matter what, I will always look after you,” Danna said, helping Karol up and guiding her out.

Throughout it all, Karol remained silent, but Lilah could feel the deep-seated hatred emanating from her.

Lilah would have preferred to tread on a gentleman’s toes rather than face a villain’s wrath.

Karol, a typical self-centered villain, could provoke others without a second thought, but if anyone crossed her, she would retaliate tenfold. Such a person was truly terrifying.

Now, only Lilah and Absolon remained in the room.

The sadness on Absolon’s face remained palpable. He looked at Lilah with hopeful eyes, trying to persuade her.

But Lilah gently shook her head. She needed to honor Miranda’s feelings and couldn’t make unilateral decisions.

Absolon’s demeanor darkened as he turned to leave.

At that moment, he seemed to remember something and, with a wistful smile, addressed the person in the inner room. “Honestly, I have nothing to fear. I’m not a good father. You’ve suffered alone for so long, bearing so much pain and hardship, and it’s entirely my fault. All I hope for now is that you two might come and see me occasionally, so I can at least fulfill some of my responsibilities as a father. The rest doesn’t matter.”

With that, his face contorted in anguish as he buried it in his hands.

Unfortunately, the person inside still didn’t come out.

“Dad, she just needs more time; she will come to understand eventually,” Lilah said, her voice soft with empathy.

Absolon remained silent for a moment before nodding in resignation.

After he left, Miranda slowly emerged from her hiding place.

“You heard what he said, didn’t you?” Lilah smiled gently and went on, “Honestly, he’s not truly afraid of being dragged into the dangers you face. What he fears most is that we won’t accept him as our father.”

Miranda stared into space, lost in thought, her silence speaking volumes. After being cast out, Karol sought refuge with Kaden.

Typically, he was her greatest solace. No matter what happened, he would always care for her and show concern.

But this time, things were different.

“Kaden, after all this time away, don’t you miss me at all?” Marlene had wrapped her arms around Kaden’s neck, leaning in close, completely oblivious to Karol’s arrival.

Kaden caught sight of Karol and immediately froze, hastily pushing Marlene away.

“What’s wrong? After all this time apart, is this how you greet me? Have you stopped loving me completely?” Marlene huffed, glaring at Kaden, her annoyance growing as_ she noticed Karol’s presence.

“Miss Morris, what happened to you?” Marlene’s eyes widened in shock as she took in the scars on Karol’s face.
