Chapter 167
Mason knelt down facing Juliette, his face pale and tear–stained, his lips trembling.
After a long time, he choked out, “Juliette, I was wrong.”
His voice was heavy, coming straight from the heart.
“What you questioned me about before was all right, it was my fault. I mistakenly thought you were not sensible, that you wanted too much and never got enough. I was too stupid and foolish to ignore that you also needed acknowledgment and your living space and status to be not encroached upon.
“I was terribly wrong. I’ve been ignoring your needs all these years, squeezing your living space at home, and letting you get hurt all the time.
“Juliette, please forgive me, okay? No matter what, you are my biological daughter, and by blood, I will always be your father, and your mother will always be your mother.”
Mason could not stop crying.
He was even touched by his own words.
However, his wife refused to cooperate.
Polly stood up and pointed at Juliette. “I’m not her mother, and she is not my daughter. She is a curse! What are you doing? Why are you kneeling to her? What is there to apologize for? She is the one who hurt me!”
Polly looked both crazy and sane at the same time.
Her eyes were too sincere.
It was as if her words came from the bottom of her heart and were not adulterated at all.

“So what she is now the wife of the CEO of Clarke Group? Does that mean she can erase the bad things she did five years ago? No, I still remember how bad she was!”
This time, Evan quickly got up and covered Polly’s mouth, not allowing her to speak.
“Juliette, Mom’s mentally unstable. She must be out of her mind how. Don’t listen to her.”
Juliette looked at their family.
At this moment, a faint smile finally appeared on her lips.
How long has it been? When she was scolded, how long had it been since the Vaughn family stood by her side?
A very, very long time.
Juliette didn’t want to ask about the harm Polly had said anymore. She wouldn’t get any truth from Polly.
She would investigate it herself.
Juliette’s smile startled Evan. He pulled Polly to her knees.

“Juliette, we’re all on our knees begging you. Please forgive us, okay? We’re still your family. Blood ties can never be broken.”
Juliette frowned at this.
The most disgusting thing in her life was having the Vaughn family’s blood running through her veins.
“We already know we were wrong. I’m your brother, and I’m on my knees. Even Mom and Dad are on their knees, and they’re our biological parents.
“Our country’s culture, since ancient times, has always emphasized filial piety as the most important virtue. For the sake of Mom and Dad raising you, can’t you just let go of the past?
“I’m begging you. Don’t push the Vaughn family. No parent has ever knelt before their child. Parents are always right even when they are wrong. As their children, shouldn’t we be tolerant
Juliette’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Are you disciplining me?”
Evan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, “No, Juliette, Im just doing this for your own good. If we are all gone, you will have no family left.
“Yes, the Clark family is indeed the wealthiest family, but if you marry into it without the support of a strong family, you will be easily bullied. I’m not saying that Patrick will bully you, but in short, there will be snobs secretly targeting you, bullying you… As your family, if we are strong, we are your biggest support.”
Juliette and Patrick’s eyes simultaneously pressed down on him heavily, making Evan so flustered that tears streamed down his face.
“Juliette, we all know we were wrong, and we all knelt down to ask for your forgiveness. I swear to you here that from now on, I will put you first and never allow anyone to hurt you. Whoever says a bad word to you, I will stand up for you. I beg you, let us go.”
Evan went all out, kowtowing to the ground repeatedly and making loud sounds.
Juliette stood up and straightened her sleeves.
Patrick also stood up with her, always standing behind her.
“Do I have to forgive you just because you know you were wrong Do I have to forgive you just because you get on your knees and beg for forgiveness?
“If a driver accidentally kills someone while driving and asks the victim’s family for a letter of understanding by offering compensation, it has little bearing on the verdict. Does that mean the law can’t hold the driver accountable?”
Evan felt as if he had been struck.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses. “But Juliette, you’re not dead.”
‘Not dead?‘ Juliette’s eyes were cold.
“Mr. Vaughn, it’s not like I didn’t die. I just died and came back to life.”
They didn’t kill her directly, but they were the executioners who indirectly killed her.
Even after she was reborn, they targeted her, made things difficult for her, and even kidnapped Louis to threaten her.

“Juliette, it’s my fault. As your older brother, I should have protected you. You warned me that Bianca had ulterior motives, but I didn’t believe you and bullied you instead. I knew I was wrong,” Evan said.
Except for Polly and Bianca, the entire Vaughn family knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
“Do you like kneeling down and apologizing that much?” Juliette said, “Fine, just like Isla, go livestream it. Livestream yourself kneeling for three days straight and then we’ll talk. Repeat your apology a hundred times a day, and don’t forget to mention how you kidnapped Louis to threaten us.”
A shiver ran down Evan’s spine.
He stammered, “If we do that, the Vaughn family is finished.”
Juliette laughed. “So you’re kneeling and apologizing all for the sake of the Vaughn family, right? Or can’t you let go of the life of luxury you’ve enjoyed since childhood?”
Evan said, “I, I don’t really care that much about it. It’s just that I’m used to this kind of life. I’d die any other way.”
“No, you won’t. Human beings are actually very resilient.”
For example, during her imprisonment, she was kept in the dark unable to eat a warm meal. But she didn’t die, fueled by the hatred and confusion in her heart until Finn personally ended her life.
Evan trembled, asking weakly, “Then… what about three days later?”
Juliette’s gaze swept over to Mason, who immediately looked back at her with pleading eyes, like a loving father longing for his beloved daughter to throw herself into his arms.
Juliette was unmoved. “Three days later, you, your parents, and Ila will leave Hawthorn and never come back.”
“You… you want to drive our whole family out of Hawthorn? What about the company? What about the company?” Evan asked.
Juliette said, “Either give it to me or declare bankruptcy.”
“How are we supposed to live? We’ll die!” Evan could barely breathe.
“Work, beg, I don’t care.”
