Chapter 266 Inescapable Destiny

• Titus' words prompted a shift in Leon's demeanor, plunging him into a contemplative silence as he poured himself another round of drinks.
• Harold broke the silence, "Leon used to recklessly surrender to his emotions, banking on Simone's love. He was under the impression that no matter his actions, Simone would always be his steadfast companion, never leaving his side. Consequently, he acted without any inhibitions. Little did he know that she too had her limits. When she declared her lack of love for him, she meant it. And when she turned her back on him, she meant that too. Leon was left shell-shocked, but by the time he grasped the gravity of his mistake, it was too late."
• With each word, Leon's face grew increasingly ashen. After listening, Titus concurred, "That's precisely it. I used to believe that Simone was my biological sister and that our familial bond was unbreakable. Given how Simone always treated us with such care and concern, I assumed she wouldn't mind. I believed that there shouldn't be any insurmountable hurdles among family members, but in the end, there were. We pushed Simone away, and she never returned. So, we, as her brothers, also acted recklessly."
