Once I Let Go, He Fell Apart

“It was Garry and Jarvis who thought they didn't deserve treatment and stopped the operation midway, causing their wounds to worsen and they lost their lives.

“What would it be like for your father to be lying in the emergency room, conscious of his own death?

“This is all because you two daughters sent your father to hell with your own hands!”

My face turned paler as she spoke. While my best friend completely broke down.

With bloodshot eyes, she threw herself on Quinn and slapped her like crazy as she yelled, “Quinn, you are not a human!”

Quinn did not resist and cried inconsolably, making everyone stunned.

Jarvis was the first to react and kicked my best friend away, while Garry held Quinn in his arms and coaxed her lovingly.

Jarvis wiped away the tears from Quinn's face with heartache.

Looking at the bright red slap mark on her face, Jarvis's face was filled with rage.

He turned around and grabbed my best friend's hair, forcing her to look up at him with a grim look on his face.

“I've been too nice to you and that's why you've become more and more demanding, huh?”

Jarvis slapped my best friend on the face hard.

"This slap is to remind you that kindness is the foundation of being human. No one will ever truly like someone with a heart full of malice.

“This slap is to teach you that as a woman, trying to destroy another woman’s innocence is not just cruel, it’s vile and disgraceful.

“And this final slap is for your arrogance, your self-righteousness and the countless times you’ve schemed and framed Quinn. May you never forget it.”

My best friend’s face quickly became red and swollen and it was a horrible sight.

Jarvis still did not stop what he was doing.

I wanted to step forward to protect my best friend, but Garry grabbed me and I could not break free.

The sound of slapping continued in the room, like a hammer, hitting my heart hard and making me tremble all over.

A full hundred slaps landed on my best friend’s face.

Blood oozed from the corner of my best friend's mouth and she bumped into the suitcase and fainted completely.

The marriage certificate that was placed in the suitcase was knocked out.

Only then did Quinn slowly speak, “Jarvis, stop fighting. I don't mean to escalate your conflict.

“After all, they are the fiancées chosen by Mrs. Huerta for you. With this status, they can do whatever they want to me without fear.

“Instead of letting them hate me, I'd better talk it out today so that they won't bother me again next time.”

Hearing this, Garry's face turned completely gloomy and he said coldly, “Quinn, if they had listened to what I said, they wouldn't have targeted you again and again.

“She is so arrogant because of her status as my fiancée. If that's the case, I will make sure she never gets promoted.”

After saying that, Garry found the marriage certificate from my suitcase. In front of me, he burned the marriage certificate between him and me.

He pinched my chin, his eyes cold as frost as he stated, "From now on, you are only worthy of being a canary kept by others, do you understand?"

The ashes of the marriage certificate floated into my eyes and the last trace of love disappeared.

It just so happened that without this marriage certificate, we were both free.

Jarvis followed suit, burning his and my best friend's marriage certificate.

I numbly helped my best friend who was gradually waking up, with an indifferent expression as we asked, “Now, can we go?”

Garry's eyes darkened and he asked more questions, “Where do you think you are going?”

Jarvis, however, drove the person away with an impatient look on his face as he said, “Uncle, let them go. They will come back on their own anyway.”
