Tatiana struggled to hold back her tears, but her voice still broke. "I''m one of the lucky ones among the


    victims, but I refuse to stand by and watch. When no one speaks up for me, I''ll speak up for myself.


    "When no one stands up, I''ll stand up for them. I may not be a hero. But even if I might be in danger, I''ll


    never stand by and watch David, that beast, trample on the innocence and dignity of thosedies while


    he roams free."


    As her words trailed off, Alyssa''s eyes were filled with tears. Her tears eventually fell onto the screen.


    She deeply regretted her narrow-mindedness during this time. At the same time, she felt immense


    pride in her sister, who fearlessly spoke out.


    Sean turned away as well. His broad shoulders trembled as he suppressed his tears. He quietly rubbed


    his eyes.


    "Lyse, Taty has really grown up. She''s no longer the little girl who needs your protection." Jasper


    sighed, feeling sorry for Tatiana and also relieved.


    Alyssa managed a smile through her tears. "Yeah. From now on, our family has gained another female


    warrior."


    Tatiana had chosen to livestream from a guest room at KS World Hotel managed by Alyssa.


    After shutting down theputer, she sat alone in the darkness, lost in thought for a long time.


    During the livestream, she had seen the maliciousments. In the past, she might have been timid


    and afraid, sinking into the abyss ofments.


    But now, she remained calm. She even felt a sense of unprecedented rxation. Her greatest trauma


    wasn''t the abuse from David. It was the thought of the viin escaping consequences under the


    Schmidt family''s protection. That would haunt her for life.


    At that moment, there was a knock on the door.


    Tatiana snapped out of her reverie and rose stiffly to answer it.


    As the door opened, her vision swayed violently.


    Before she could see who was at the door, she was pulled into a warm and vigorous embrace. The


    weight of the embrace felt as if she were being squeezed into the person''s body, merging into their


    flesh.


    "Taty, you silly woman. How could you not tell me about something so important? Do you know how


    worried I''ve been?"


    Hearing Sean''s low, affectionate murmur in her ear, Tatiana instantly broke down. Tears welled up in


    her eyes. "Sean, I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have kept it from you. It''s my fault."


    "It''s not your fault. You did well, very well."


    Sean''s warm and trembling lips lightly brushed against her reddened ear. His husky voice was filled


    with admiration, even adoration.


    "You''re so cool tonight that I feel ashamed of myself. My dearest Ms. Tatiana, I''m willing to devote


    myself to you for a lifetime."


    Tatiana''s eyes widened in surprise at the romantic words, a sentiment she had never heard before. She


    blushed shyly, biting her lip as her heart raced.


    She longed to be loved, but she had never dared to hope to be admired by someone who loved her.


    Seeing the couple was nearly done with their affectionate interaction, Alyssa and Jasper finally


    approached.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
