A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1157
Karan was absolutely gobsmacked when she found out Liana had placed a recorder in her bag, edited her words and spilled the
beans to the media, saying the used dirty tricks to help her son gain the inhentance rights.
Her image, carefully built over many years in the B City social circle, was completely shattered by this recording From society
ladies to the online community. everyone was painting her as a ruthless homewrecker, telling her to drop dead, telling her to
bring back Tyler and Alva!
She was cooped up at home, too scared to step outside, but what really threw her for a loop was that Hackett wouldn’t even
listen to her side of the story. He felt she had disgraced him and threw a fit when he got home.
Karan was spitting mad, but she knew Hackett was her husband. If she just uttered some sweet nothings, apologized, he would
surely forgive her. But to her surprise, Hackett burst into tears.
“Do you know how good and clever Tyler was before you showed up? He not only had a knack for medicine, but also had
photographic memory. He could spot the problem just by looking at the data on my computer. Such a wonderful kid, and you’ve
ruined him.
At this point, Hackett was overwhelmed with emotion.
“I should never have accepted that glass of wine you offered me!”
That drink at the business event had caused him to lose himself, to the point of neglecting his own wife and child. For Karan, he
even abandoned his wife and child. Now, he was reaping what he had sown Hackett slapped himself harshly and stormed off.
As she watched him leave decisively, Karan felt panic rise in her throat. She scrambled over to grab his trouser legs
“Honey, it’s not my fault. The one who killed Tyler was Liana, not me!”
Hackett stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Karan, his eyes full of disappointment.
Liana was your tool...”
The implication was clear no matter who had taken action, the result would be the same.

Karan, pushed away by Hackett, was livid when she saw him blaming Tyler’s death on her. She glared at Damien, who was
leaning against the railing, looking like a casual spectator
She was already at rock bottom, possibly being abandoned by Hackett. Yet her younger son remained indifferent. This made
Karan feel both chilled and enraged. “Damien, if it wasn’t for your loose lips, how would that bitch Liana have gotten hold of my
weakness? You’re acting like nothing happened, aren’t you afraid that once I fall, your inheritance will be at risk?!”
Hearing this, Damien let go of the railing, took steps toward Karan in his black leather shoes, helped her up in a gentlemanly
manner. After helping her up, he suddenly looked up at Karan with a creepy smile.
“Mom, even if you lose power, it won’t affect me. Because my eldest brother is dead, and my second brother won’t come back,
and dad won’t let our cousin inherit the family fortune. So, whether you lose power or not, dad will support me.”
On the contrary, if she lost power, it would be better. His stupid mother would only be a burden in the future.
Karan was shell–shocked by this. She had never thought that young Damien could calculate gains and losses so shrewdly, even
to the point of giving up her powerful backing.
No, in Damien’s eyes, she might not be a supporter, but a pawn, a tool for bearing children.
This was utterly terrifying....
As Karan felt like she was falling into an ice cave, Damien let go of her hand, bowed politely to her, straightened up, and went
after Hackett.
Hackett, about to get in the car to handle the news incident at the office, saw Damien following him, thought he was going to
defend his mother, and his face immediately became cold.
“What are you doing here?”
Damien opened the car door himself, got in, and then put on an innocent face, comforting Hackett.
“Dad, what mom did to my big brother was her mistake I’m here to apologize on her behalf. Although this apology is trivial, I still
don’t want to see you so upset...” Then, he reached out with his little hand and lightly touched Hackett’s aged face.
Seeing his younger son’s clear eyes, Hackett felt somewhat consoled. At least, this son hadn’t been corrupted by Karan.
Moreover, at such a young age, he understood finance. He was as excellent as Tyler was when he was young, which could be

considered a blessing from heaven.
Hackett reached out, took Damien’s small hand, put it in his palm, and gently patted the back of his hand.
“You should study hard, and when you grow up, I will definitely hand over the inheritance to you...”
Damien, playing innocent, blinked at Hackett. “I don’t really understand the inheritance rights. I only know that as long as dad is
healthy and stays with me for life, I’ll be happy
This won him a deep hug from Hackett.
“What a wonderful child you are.”
Being held in his arms, Damien’s eyes gradually became cold, with a cunning smile flickering in his eyes after getting his way...
