Chapter 19
Mandy looked at Dylan, taking in just how handsome he was. She felt pretty pleased with him, though there was a tinge of regret about how things had ended up.
She figured someone like him would actually be a pretty great son–in–law for the Paddens. It was too bad that violet was only into Archer back then,at they could’ve ended up me
p with such
Since Violet and Archer had cut ties, Mandy thought it’d be awesome if Dylan joined the Padden family again.
After listening to Mandy, Dylan didn’t say anything. Instead, he set a bank card be had prepared before her.
“The balance on this card is nice what the Padden originally gave me. If it hadn’t been for the repayment agreement, I could have paid back the original amount with interest in under two
The Paddens were always there for people in need, and Dylan wasn’t the only one who had benefited from their generosity.
They would send money each month directly to the recipients‘ accounts, never asking for repayment from anyone they’d helped
Maybe it was just Dylan’s navety that led him to offer himself up so easily. Now, he finally saw things more clearly but didn’t feel like dwelling on it.
Dylan didn’t care about Mandy’s reaction. He grabbed the bank card and walked out.
Mandy was taken aback. Then, anger surged within her. But knowing the Farrow and Carlisle familles backing Dylan, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.. Justas Dylan was leaving the Padden villa, he bumped inen Violet, who had just gotten back.
“Dylan, what’s got you here?” Violet asked, sounding pleasantly surprised
Dylan sneered. “Mrs. Padden wants me to throw away my career and future again, just like seven years ago, so I can hang around you and waste my life,
Valet’s face went pale as the memory of that agreement she’d seen two years ago hit her
During the five years Dylan spent paying the Paddons back, he had to give up everything and pour himself completely into Violet,
Anyone would’ve lost it after a year or two of that, let alone five–especially with how she had treated him during that time. She could only imagine how torturous those years mist have
been for him.
A wave of pain shot through Violet’s entire body. She clenched her tists and whispered, Tim sorry.
Dylan had already run out of patience. He didn’t even look at her and simply brushed past.
Maybe it was because of what Dylan had said, but Violet didn’t come looking for him for the next few days. Dytm was actually relieved to have the peace
That lasted untill the day of the Farrow family banquet, where he’d been invited Callum had always treated Dylan like his little brother.
Luna stuck close to Dylan throughout the banquet, worried something might happen to him
“Dylan Cloud What are you doing here?” A sharp voice came from behind.
Dylan turned around to see Valerie charging toward him
Valerie was Mandy’s daughter, so it made sense that Mandy didn’t want he to struggle in Altoria She’d convinced her husband, Chester Padden, to bring Valerie back
The sight of Dylan made Valerie’s heart swell with resentment. She blamed him for everything
After Dylan divorced Violet, Violet sent Valerie off to Altoria. It took Chester two years to finally bring Valerie back.
Fight behind Dylan was a tower of champagne glasses. He instinctively tried to step aside, but his foot missed the step
“Dylan!” In a flash, Lana caught him, yanking him back behind her.
Valerie couldn’t help herself. She crashed right into the champagne tower
Aloud crash echoed through the room. Everyone turned to see Valerie topple into the champagne rower, sending glass flying everywhere and leaving streaks of blood on her body.
Vielec hurried over as soon as she heard the nokte. tried to help Valerie up, but as soon as she touched her, Valetle cried out in pain. Meanwhile, Lana checked Dylan from bead to toe, making sure he was fine before finally glancing at Valeria sprawled out on the Bour
“The Paddens really know how to raise their kids. You as charged at Dylan out of nowhere. What did he ever do to deserve that? Lemember correctly, it was you and a bunch of others who showed Dylan into the champagne tower two years ago, too.”
