Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 885
Libby noticed the angry red mark on his neck.
There was even a bite mark on his Adam's apple.
It was all too clear what had just happened between him and Christine.
Her worst fears had come true.
"And it hasn't even been twenty-four hours since the last time."
Dailey spoke again, his voice as cold as ice, sending a chill through the room.
Libby met his piercing gaze, instinctively taking a step back.
Realizing her mistake, she stepped forward again, standing directly in front of him.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
She reached out, trying to grab his arm.
Dailey sidestepped her touch, and Quinn swiftly restrained Libby, kicking the back of her knee and forcing her to kneel.
"Dailey!"
Libby had never been humiliated like this before.
From a young age, everyone had catered to her every whim.
Whatever she desired was handed to her without her even asking.
Dailey, too, was presented to her like a gift from her parents.
Their families were perfectly matched, which opened the door to this opportunity.

An opportunity Christine would never have.
Yet somehow, Christine had captured Dailey's heart.

A love that surpassed everything else.
It was intolerable.
Jayne had even given her tacit approval for what Libby had planned.
"Your mother handed you over to me, so if you want to blame someone, it shouldn't be me."
Dailey looked down at her, his gaze as condescending as looking at trash.
"I'll deal with her in due time. For now, you have a choice: either tell your family you won't marry me, or I'll ensure the Carters
never have the capital to join the Clarkson family."
Libby thought of Serena's fate.
She had mocked Serena for not seizing the chance to have a child with the Clarkson family, thinking it was the most important
goal.
Just like Nelly before her, who, despite not being able to marry Dailey, was protected by the Clarkson family because of her child.
Libby was actually eligible to marry Dailey. If she could have a child, her relationship with Dailey would be even stronger.
But she was just shy of achieving that!
Why did Christine have to come into the picture?
"Dailey, with The Sinclair Family incident, and The Warrens getting involved, you were weakened. If you use the same tactics
again, Warrens will certainly take advantage, which won't be good for you."
"I only want to marry you and have an heir. If you don't want to be with me, I can use IVF. That way, you won't have to deal with
the Clarkson family arranging another woman for you will raise the child well and once The Warrens see the unity of our families,
they might back off."

Dailey had heard similar pleas before.
He couldn't understand

women got their confidence, believing that marrying them would
stabilize the Clarkson family and
fend off enemies.
Without their family backgrounds, who knows how many times they would have perished.
He was tired of their schemes.
Unlike Christine, who, even without a powerful background, lived genuinely and freely.
Thinking of Christine, his expression softened.
Libby mistook his change in demeanor for agreement.
She tried to stand up in excitement, but Quinn's grip was unrelenting.
Libby's health had never been strong, coddled in the gentle environment of the South.
Quinn's firm hold caused a crack that echoed ominously.
"Dai..." Libby looked up at him, tears brimming in her eyes.
Dailey, unwilling to waste more time, waved dismissively and turned to leave.
"Dailey!"
"You should think this through. If you strike at the Carters, The Warrens will definitely step over you!"
"Dailey!"
The door to the room closed, cutting off her desperate cries.
Dailey made a quick call, giving instructions.
Then he returned to the hotel.

Entering Christine's room, he was greeted with a pillow thrown at him.
Despite everything, Dailey caught the pillow with ease and sat on the edge of the bed, in surprisingly good spirits.
