CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 1724

Karina took a deep breath.

"I only suggested that trip because it was a simple get-together. No one could have predicted the accident. I've spent years trying to make amends, but I have my own life, and I can't keep being dragged down by this." The middle-aged man stepped forward, his finger nearly jabbing at Karina's forehead. "You ungrateful girl! Tara treated you so well, and this is how you repay her?"

Karina turned her head to avoid him, her voice calm but firm. "I was devastated by Tara's death, but I can't carry guilt that doesn't belong to me for the rest of my life. I've already done more than enough."

The woman began to sob, her voice full of desperation. "Karina, please, just help us one last time. Kieran's health is so poor. He needs money for treatment."

Karina looked at the woman who had once been her adoptive mother, her emotions a tangled mess. Memories surged through her mind like a rising tide.

She remembered her younger self, tiptoeing around the house, filled with gratitude and a yearning to belong to this family. But now, everything had changed-twisted beyond recognition.

"Mom, I've already said this is the last time. Over the years, I've given you enough money. That car accident was a tragedy. I didn't want Tara to die, and I didn't want Kieran to end up like this." Kieran, seated in his wheelchair, seethed with rage. His eyes burned with bitterness and resentment.

"Karina, you can't just walk away from this! If you hadn't rejected me, none of this would have happened!"

Karina's eyes widened in shock, her body trembling as she stared at him. "What did you just say? Are you telling me that the accident was intentional? All because I didn't accept your confession?" Kieran let out a bitter laugh, his expression contorting into something twisted and grotesque. He no longer cared about hiding the truth.

"That's right! If it weren't for you, Tara would still be alive, and I would

Karina felt the blood drain from her face, her heart pounding in her chest. She staggered slightly, as if

Kieran's father furrowed his brows, hesitation flickering across his face, but the greed in his eyes quickly took over "Kieran was confused. He loved you too much, and that's why he made a mistake. But what's done is done. The point is, you stilPowe us, Hundred thousand dollars isn't nearly enough to make up for what we've lost."

Karina clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. She forced herself to steady her voice, though her hands trembled at her sides. "I'm done giving you money. Everything you've done has shattered my trust. For years, I treated you like family, and this is how you repay me?" She turned to leave.

Kieran, panicking, spun his wheelchair forward to block her path. He gripped the wheels tightly, his face contorted with anger and desperation. "You can't just walk out of here! Either you pay up, or you stay and take care of me for the rest of your life!"

Karina looked him straight in the eyes, her voice like steel.

"Kieran, stop dreaming. You will not manipulate me anymore. I'm going to the police. Let the law decide what's right and wrong."

Kieran's face paled. His lips quivered as fear flickered in his eyes, though he tried to mask it with bravado.

"You wouldn't dare! If you report this, I'll expose all your dirty little secrets and ruin you!"
