Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276 The Same Ending
What followed was just a void.
I had thought it would culminate in a grand, harmonious ending, or at the very least, a feasible love triangle, but I never expected the plot to take such a ... realist turn?
Outside the window, the drizzle persisted, with drops sliding down the eaves, falling one by one to the ground.
The sound of wind chimes was clear and pleasant to the ear.
It was rare for them to sit together in such tranquility.
In such an atmosphere, Jackie Qualls found comfort but also felt ... reluctant and sad.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke again in a soft voice.
"Do you still remember what I told you about Louis Snyder?"
Hannah looked at him, not answering his question, but said instead, "You seem to really dislike him, or maybe even ... hate him?"
As she spoke, she laughed softly, leaning back in her chair, her eyelashes catching flecks of bright yellow sunlight.
The rain had not stopped, and the sun was still there.
It was just that at this moment, both found their way into her eyes.
The rainwater was clear, the sunlight was brilliant.
Jackie Qualls, uncharacteristically abandoning formality, stared at her intently, "I indeed dislike him, because we are of the same kind."
Both are very skilled at using disguises to cover their true natures.
If Jackie Qualls’s true nature is cold and distant, then Louis Snyder’s is stubborn and insane.
In the original story, Tiffany Lynch had many admirers, but only four were seriously considered by her.
George River, Jimmy Simmons, Louis Snyder, Jackie Qualls.
And Tiffany Lynch’s final choice of Louis Snyder was not just because he had taken over the entire Yarn Family.
It was also because, in her view, among these four men, Snyder was the youngest and easiest to control, particularly with his almost obsessive adoration of her.
Louis Snyder was also the only one among the four who said he didn’t mind that she was Mrs. River when being with him.
"I don’t want any status, I just hope to be with you," he had said, almost obsessively, his eyes filled with deep dependence.
A young man, naive and easy to manipulate, was indeed her best choice.
But now she was still Mrs. River.
Even though she and George River had not registered their marriage.
Handling Jimmy Simmons was quite simple, their relationship, based on mutual benefit, had long been severed.
But Jackie Qualls was a bit troublesome.
In the beginning, to use him to obtain resources, she had pretexted that she had already broken up with George River.
If she suddenly got together with Louis Snyder now, her previous actions would be discovered.
To maintain her image of purity, Tiffany Lynch made the first move when Jackie Qualls was preparing to propose to her.
Thus ensued the struggle between Jackie Qualls and George River.
The man who once used an innocent girl as a human shield eventually suffered the same fate.
His stellar path completely shattered, everything he had crumbled entirely.
Had it been just George River, perhaps he could have coped, but Tiffany Lynch’s betrayal became the final straw that broke him.
The woman he once "loved deeply" was the backstage manipulator causing it all.
Those were the darkest moments of his life, when unfounded scandals overwhelmingly besieged him.
Slander, targeting, vilification.
All of these things that Hannah Winter had once suffered, in the end, also befell him.
Perhaps, this was retribution.
Once so striking and dazzling, yet at the time of his death, he died unnoticed.
In a dilapidated, foul-smelling rented room, he could only lie helplessly on the bed, staring at the ceiling, quietly waiting for death to arrive.
