Chapter 9
I looked at Derek, confused.
I didn’t understand what he meant by that.
Derek didn’t hide anything from me and explained the situation directly.
During the time I was recovering from my injuries, Derek had submitted some evidence to the court.
Over the years, to take care of Vanessa, Ryan had pulled a lot of strings, getting her into jobs ahead of others and giving her special perks.
The Mitchell family itself wasn’t clean either.
Ryan had a cousin who had once forced himself on a girl and been reported for it.
But Ryan covered it up.
After Derek collected this evidence, he submitted it directly to the court.
When my father found out, he also put pressure on the court.
Under pressure, the court formed an investigation team to look into it carefully.
If they hadn’t investigated, it would have been fine.
But once they looked into it…
Over the years, Ryan had really done too many outrageous things for Vanessa.

If no one intervened or if he couldn’t get my forgiveness, his life would be
over.
These past few days, he had been looking for connections.
But with orders from above, no one dared to help.
With no other choice, he had no one left to turn to but me.
“Emma, I wronged you before. I really know I was wrong. I apologize to you. Please forgive me just this once…”
Ryan looked at me pleadingly and dropped to his knees beside the hospital bed with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
In the past, I would have felt heartbroken.
But now, his tears couldn’t stir even the slightest ripple in my heart.
He panicked and wanted to come closer, but Derek stopped him.
“She just had surgery on her leg. Don’t you dare touch her.”
As if just remembering, he quickly stepped back, eyes full of panic.
Derek glared at him and gently tucked my blanket in for me
Seeing this, I suddenly smiled at Ryan.
“Do you really know you were wrong?”
He nodded desperately. “Yes! Yes, Emma, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let Vanessa hurt you! I was blinded back then, but don’t worry, I’ve already kicked Vanessa out. From now on, I’ll live a good life with you!

“Please calm down…”
I tugged at the corner of my mouth.
“Ryan, do you even believe the words you’re saying?”
He froze.

“You say you regret everything, that you know you were wrong, but you didn’t even remember my leg injury.
‘You keep claiming you’re sorry, but then you go and dump all the blame on Vanessa.
“But is all of this really just Vanessa’s fault?
“When she humiliated me and wanted to destroy my legs, what were you doing? You were enabling her!
“When you wanted to destroy my dreams, what were you thinking?
“So only your dreams are important?
“If you had truly loved me and respected my dreams, you never would have let her treat me that way!”
The color slowly drained from his face.
“No, it’s not like that…”
He shook his head desperately.
“Emma, I really do know I was wrong!
“Actually, before we fought that day, I already regretted it, but I… I was too proud. I didn’t want to swallow my pride and admit I was wrong. I just wanted you to admit you were wrong, wanted you to swallow your pride.

“As long as you had swallowed your pride for me just once, I definitely wouldn’t have done that…
“Of course, I know this was my fault, not yours. It’s my problem.”
