Chapter 130 On the news screen were the charred remains of the crash . The reporter was narrating , but my attention was completely captured by three figures in the background . Simon , Ethan and Jason . Their expressions were more disheveled than I had ever seen . Expensive shirts smeared with dirt , eyes bloodshot, they disregarded both status and decorum , digging through the blackened fuselage with their own hands . \ They believed I was on that plane . They might even be preparing to face my corpse . As I kept watching , a sharp ache suddenly gripped my chest . All those years of their neglect , cold stares and harsh reprimands flooded my mind in vivid scenes . " Yet now , seeing them in such a disheveled , desperate state seemed to suggest that they had finally realized what losing me truly meant . Why put on this false display ? Back then , they hadn't cared about my life at all . " I slowly closed my eyes . Let it be . < Let them believe that I had perished in this disaster . Perhaps this was the best ending between them and me . " I was no longer a pawn to be granted favors or trampled on at their whim , nor did I have to tremble in the guise of their so - called warmth . Through " death ," I could finally bid a complete farewell to my past self . " The plane touched down smoothly . " Ronald's estate was nestled in a private woodland on the outskirts of Birlona . The tall black iron gates slowly swung open , revealing a wide driveway flanked by neatly trimmed pine trees , with a fountain shimmering silver under the moonlight .

Mr.Brimmer is already waiting for you . " The night breeze drifted by , carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees . " I took a deep breath , as if releasing the weight I had carried for countless years . This time , I would no longer rely on anyone , nor beg in humility.I would use my own identity , my own hands , to carve out a completely new world . Every corner of the cliff had been personally explored by Jason . " Simon , carrying a searchlight , had scraped his knuckles raw , yet continued inch by inch to pry open the cracks in the rock . Ethan even knelt in the mud , using his hands to push aside rubble and weeds . " They searched over and lover , only to be met with disappointment again and again . Most of the crash wreckage had already been cleared and the rescue team's announcement was cold and unfeeling.no survivors . !! After several days , the three of them seemed as if their very bones and blood had been hollowed out . " It wasn't until they were forced to retreat that each of them slumped onto the edge of the cliff , their eyes filled with exhaustion and despair . Ethan's throat tightened as he whispered , " She ... really isn't here anymore ? " N No one answered . [ They all understood - though their hearts refused to admit it , reality had cornered them . In just a few short days , the three men seemed to have aged ten years . The sharp , commanding aura they once carried had vanished , leaving only sheer fatigue.N The car drove through the gates of the Corvin residence , where Fiona was already waiting . Today , she had deliberately worn a plain black dress , her eyes were red , as if she had been crying for a long time . Her steps toward them were soft and tentative , as though afraid of disturbing their fragile state . N 172 48.1 % " Jason , Simon , Ethan ... " she called softly , her voice choked with emotion . " I know it's hard for you ... but .... the dead cannot come back to life ... " Before she could finish , Jason abruptly lifted his gaze . His eyes , bloodshot and cold as a blade , fixed on her . Fiona's heart tightened sharply , her feet froze and her breath nearly stopped . In the past , whenever she shed tears , Jason would soften and patiently comfort her . But this time , he merely stared at her coldly , as if uttering another word would make him tear her apart without mercy .
