Chapter 419
Katherine immediately transformed into the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother, bribing the doctor into covering up the bruises on Orion's neck, taking care of him with extreme gentleness. Harrison, concerned about his son, for the first time asked her about the illness, without ignoring or showing a cold shoulder.
It seemed to Katherine as if she had stumbled upon the perfect way to win Harrison's favor. Leveraging the fact that Orion couldn't speak, she began to abuse him even more severely.
Starvation, cold showers, locking him in a dark closet, and even burning his skin with cigarette butts. Her cruelty knew no bounds, and her madness only grew. She employed every tactic to make him fall ill, knowing that would bring Harrison back to her side.
The last straw was that, Orion had a severe allergic reaction to food, breaking out in hives all over his body, and fell into a coma.
Harrison knelt by the bed, cradling Orion's frail body, weeping uncontrollably.
"Juliette, I'm sorry, I couldn't do what you asked of me."
He couldn't live well, take care of himself, or take care of Ori.
Every day he lived was a struggle, and it had taken a toll on Orion, whose body was growing weaker and whose temperament grew more gloomy and cold; he wouldn't even call him dad anymore.
It was all his fault.
A few days later, as Orion began to slowly recover, Harrison decided to leave.
On the day he left, he was uncharacteristically well-groomed, having shaved and changed into new clothes. His well-fitted white suit made him look tall and handsome. Katherine was spellbound by the transformation.
She thought he had finally decided to move on from Juliette and start a normal life with her, but he simply kissed Orion goodbye and walked out the door.
"Ori, I'm sorry. If there's a next life, don't be my child."
The man's low and guilt-ridden voice lingered in Orion's ears for a long time. The boy tried to open his mouth to call out to his father, but no sound came out. He chased the car, running until he fell, and was then carried back by a servant.
Katherine couldn't understand Harrison's sudden change and decided to call the private investigator, only to receive devastating news.
"Mrs. Lockwood, Mr. Lockwood passed away at Juliette's grave early this morning. The chairman has already gone to retrieve his body."

"Ah!!!"
This, Katherine screamed hysterically and went completely mad.
"Harrison, Harrison, how could I not measure up to that woman?!"
"I've loved you for so many years, waited for you for so many years, willing to marry you. at the cost of the entire group, but you saw none of it. You even chose to die for that bitch!"
"You loved her, didn't you? Since you loved her so much, I'll let your family of three reunite!" With rage in her eyes, she tied up Orion, knocking him unconscious, and drove towards the outskirts of town.
When Orion regained consciousness, he saw nothing but ruins around him, with the suffocating smell of gasoline in the air.
He was forced to kneel in front of a concrete pillar, his hands boundm tightly with chains) and his mouth sealed with duct tape, rendering him completely immobile.
Katherine, like a deranged demon, wildly splashed gasoline everywhere and screamed, "Die! Die! Die!"
"Harrison, your wife's dead, you're dead, and now your son has to die too! Hahaha!"
"All three of you are short-lived, go reunite in hell!"
She set the abandoned building on fire, her grotesque and twisted laughter echoing through the empty rooms as she left in a frenzy.
The towering flames roared like demons, quickly engulfing everything.
He was in unbearable pain, tears blurred his vision, his strugglingm hands and feet rubl raw by the cold iron chains, and any faint sound he could make was stuck in his throat
