Chapter 329 Mandy blinked in disbelief. The drunken mess clinging to her waist was none other than Brian.
His glassy eyes struggled to focus as he gazed up at her, voice thick with tears and desperate longing. "Claire, I feel awful. Please, can't you forgive me?" "I know I messed up-I swear, I'll change. Just giveanother chance. Please, cback to me. Don't fall for Sean. Loveinstead." "I really do love you. I can't live without you." He looked utterly pathetic, tears streaming down his cheeks as he clung to Mandy even tighter, like a drowning man refusing to let go.
Mandy's expression turned to ice. Her voice cut through him, cold and sharp. "Let go of me." "No. I'm never letting you go again. Just one more chance, I'm begging you." Disgusted, Mandy seized a handful of his hair and slapped him hard across the face. The sound cracked through the air. She didn't hold back, unleashing her fury.

You think a few tears and a sorry can erase the hell you put her through?" Without hesitation, Mandy kicked Brian hard, sending him sprawling to the floor. She planted her foot on his chest, pinning him down. "Open your eyes, Brian. I'm not Claire. But letmake one thing clear: Claire will never forgive you. Not in this life." "If you really feel so sorry for her, do the world a favor and disappear." Brian was too drunk to process anything, his mind lost in a fog. He clung to Mandy's ankle, sobbing, "Claire, please, don't be so heartless. I just want to make things right." Mandy shook him off with revulsion. Her heel scraped sharply across the back of his hand, leaving a red welt. "Make things right?" Her voice trembled with outrage. "You think an apology and a few tears are enough to fix what you did?" Claire was such a good person. If she hadn't crossed paths with the Linwoods, the Coles, and scum like Vincent, her life wouldn't have ended up this way.
"When you and your friends destroyed her life, did it ever cross your mind there'd be consequences?" Mandy's words cout through gritted teeth. "She was so kind, so innocent. How could you people do that to her?" Her vision blurred as memories of Claire limping, almost deaf, flashed before her eyes-each one a stab in Mandy's heart.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
"What's the point of all this now? If you're truly sorry, then do the only thing that would actually atone for your sins." With that, Mandy kicked him again-hard-then turned on her heel and walked away without a backward glance.
Norman rose from the couch and strode over. He shot Brian a frosty look. "If you loved her, you should've treated her right. You had it coming." Then he hurried after Mandy.
"Mandy, where are you going?" "None of your business. Don't follow me," she snapped, not slowing down.
"It's not safe at night. Letwalk you—"
She spun around suddenly, eyes blazing. "I'm in a bad mood if you don't want to get hit, stay away from me. I'll be your girlfriend again tomorrow." And with that, she strode out of the bar without a trace of hesitation.

Outside, the night air was crisp.
Mandy stood at the curb, her gaze cold and weary. Just then, a sleek black car pulled up to the entrance.
The doors swung open and a man and woman stepped out. The man, Ο Π sharply dressed an Xstone-faced, was unmistakably Brian's father. The woman, elegant but clearly worried, hurried beside him-Brian's mother.
