Chapter 459

Anna's gaze was heavy as she locked eyes with Hayden. Both Julia and Anna wanted to try again and persuade him to make him reconsider. But Hayden simply waved his hand with a faint smile as he said, "Don't say that. I left the Sterling family because you forced me out. It wasn't just because of Francis. "You saw the way I lived back then for yourselves. I was starving, cold, humiliated, and trampled on… Wasn't that all thanks to you? "We're siblings, you say? We're family? Do you even hear yourselves? Aren't you ashamed to say those words?" His voice was calm and measured, but every syllable cut like a blade. Julia and Anna sat frozen, their faces turning paler by the second. This time, Hayden didn't bother with subtlety. He laid everything bare, his words sharper and more ruthless. He spoke as if it were nothing, but each sentence slashed through them like a knife, leaving them bleeding and gasping for air. They had no choice but to face the truth. Yes, they had wronged him.
