Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 240

Chapter 240 We Owe Each Other Nothing

Amidst the noisy surroundings, Peyton could accurately distinguish the voices of Colette and Nolan.

Peyton found it quite ironic. Her relatives wished for her death, while the man who hated her to the core was willing to trade his life for hers.

What else can she expect from such family members?

In the past, Peyton used to sit at the doorstep watching the road Colette left from. During the time when Peyton and Nolan were having a cold war, she would also do the same thing.

Peyton reheated the cold meal and sat on the steps by the door, waiting and waiting.

She watched the flowers and plants in the yard go from spring to summer, endure through autumn, and finally reach the snowy winter.

She never waited for the person she was supposed to wait for.

Her whole life was nothing but a joke.

Peyton scoffed lightly and said word by word.

“Mrs. Chase, I don’t want you in my next life. Even if there is truly reincarnation, I only wish to never see you again for eternity!”

“Peytie, I couldn’t. I really couldn’t…”

Colette burst into tears. She didn’t want it to be this way, but she loved Eibert too much, to the point where she didn’t want him to lose his only daughter.

After suffering à miscarriage in her early years, Colette became unable to conceive. If Helena had died, the Chase family would have had no descendants.

No matter what, Colette would not let Helena die.

Even if it meant sacrificing Colette’s own daughter.

Peyton ignored Colette and continued, “Nolan, I have had enough of days like this. You owe me so much, and it cannot be repaid with just one life.”

She smirked and said, “Remember, it was her who killed me! After I die, you go after her for revenge.”

Nolan had a feeling that something was wrong. “Peytie, what do you want to do? Don’t mess around.”

Peyton closed her eyes and could hear the sound of the sea crashing against the boat. In the distance, she could hear the cries of a few seagulls. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

It was the breath of freedom.

The camera did not capture the area where she hid the knife behind her, slowly cutting the rope.

At the moment when the rope was about to break, she smiled at Nolan and said, “Thank you for not giving up on me this time, but it’s too late.”

She said casually, “Mrs. Chase, you gave birth to me and raised me, and now I have returned this life to you. In this lifetime, we owe each other nothing.”

As the words fell, amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the rope wrapped around Peyton’s waist inexplicably snapped.

Peyton’s body plunged into the sea at an incredible speed, causing splashes of water.

“Peytie!” Nolan’s voice roared, yet all he could touch was the cold

screen.

The scene lost control at this moment and reverted back to the originally set video.

Cherry blossoms fell, blending with the blood on Nolan’s chest to compose a perfect melody.

Nolan smashed his fist onto the screen, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Colette was foolish. She didn’t expect Peyton to make such a choice at the last moment.

Peyton also had her own calculations. Nolan had always been afraid to touch upon Paula’s death.

Peyton herself encountered resistance multiple times when she tried to investigate. She gambled her life, betting that Nolan still loved her.

As soon as she died, Nolan would spare no effort to uncover the truth.

Before plunging into the sea, Peyton’s lips curled up slightly. “Nolan, I have entrusted the truth to you.”

The scene was filled with sighs, and people didn’t know what to exclaim for a moment.

Lucian briskly walked up to Nolan and whispered a few words in his ear, “I found out that she was in the abandoned factory.”

Nolan looked blank, as if he couldn’t accept this reality.

He slowly lifted his head and looked at Lucian, his eyes bloodshot and

his voice trembling, “Peytie is dead.
