When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1554

However, the room yielded nothing she could use to aid her escape.

At that moment, the door was forcefully kicked open, flooding the room with dazzling Light.

Miley instinctively shut her eyes against the sudden brightness.

After a brief moment, she cautiously opened her eyes and finally laid eyes on the man.

The individual before her was a middle-aged man adorned in a suit and polished leather shoes.

He carried himself with an air of refinement and sophistication.

The man strode towards Bertha, casting her a faint smile.

Without warning, he raised his foot and delivered a forceful kick to her.

Fear gripped Miley as she exclaimed, “What are you doing?”

Bertha winced in pain, slowly opening her eyes and emitting a cry of distress.

Before she could comprehend the situation, a jewelry box was flung in front of her.

It contained the intricately carved jewelry she had recently purchased at the auction.

Miley’s heart pounded with apprehension.

She had a foreboding sense that trouble was imminent.

She moved to intervene, but before she could act, it was too late.

The man stepped on the carved jewelry, crushing it beneath his shoe.

“lyatt Blakely!” Bertha’s voice trembled as she called out his name, her eyes filled with anger and defiance.

However, her weakened state rendered her voice barely audible.

Ignoring her, Wyatt mercilessly stomped on the jewelry once more, as if intending to reduce it to dust.

Tears welled in Bertha’s eyes as she pleaded, “Stop… Stop! Please…”

Wyatt’s Laughter echoed through the room as he surveyed the shattered jewelry on the floor.

Fixing his gaze on Bertha, he squatted down and forcefully grasped her chin, forcing her to look at the mess.

“Now that the jewelry is destroyed, you have no leverage.

”

His voice dripped with menace as his expression darkened.

Bertha struggled to catch her breath, her words stifled by her weakness.

His voice dripping with contempt, Wyatt continued, “You must be feeling terrible, aren’t you? But this is nothing compared to what my poor daughter Susie is enduring!”

Hearing the name Susie, Miley was stunned.

It dawned on her that the man before them was Susie’s father.

Bertha seethed with anger at Wyatt’s words, feeling lightheaded and nearly breathless.

Wyatt loosened his grip on Bertha and retrieved his phone to capture images of her distressed face.

In a cruel tone, he remarked, “Mrs.

Pierce, known for her dignity and grace, reduced to this state.

All because of your grandson’s actions.
