Regret Came Too Late

The living room was in total chaos. The way Alice was profusely crying while kneeling on the ground was heartbreaking to watch.

In the end, Quentin suddenly yelled out loud, "That's enough! I'll give you what you want."

Alice looked at him with eyes full of tears. "Dad, you know he's going to come back for more money. What if we just let him release those photos?

"I can just leave the country overnight and never return. Our family has become a laughing stock all because of me. I'm really sorry to every one of you."

A hint of heartache flickered before his eyes. Just by looking at the crazy man who came knocking at their front door, he could tell what kind of life Alice had endured when she was still with her foster family. It was no wonder she had become mentally unstable.

Quentin said with a sigh, "It's fine. There's still some money in the company. I'm slowly getting old, and I just want all of you to be happy."

Upon hearing that he was going to get the money, the man instantly became satisfied with a smirk on his face.

"That's more like it, and it seems like you're still using the same bank card. I must admit, though, Alice. You have a good father. Unlike your previous one, who only cared about your looks."

Alice was shivering all over and eventually fainted, throwing the entire family into an even more chaotic state.
