Chapter 775 A Chance For Redemption
Kareen chuckled dismissively. “Nice try to persuade me. Unfortunately, it falls short.”
Turning her bead, she cast a challenging glance at Cherise. “But I’ll only believe it if you can prove that the
recording is my brother’s voice and not a fake or clever imitation.
Cherise felt anger coursing through her, causing her temples to throb. Taking a deep breath, she locked eyes with
Kareen, “You’re making this much more difficult than necessary!”
Kareen turned away, fatigue and sadness etching lines on her flawless face. “Well, who started this mess?”
She looked back at Cherise and said defiantly. “Whatever happens in the Miles family will be resolved among
ourselves. We don’t need outsiders to interfere. I can take care of my brother. So, keep your unsolicited advice to
yourself. I’m done with your nonsense!”
Her gaze then swept across Lyra’s face, a coldness settling in her eyes. “I already told you that you will not see my
brother again, and I stand by that.”
Kareen stormed out, leaving an oppressive silence in the air.
Biting her lips, Cherise grappled with a sense of helplessness against Kareen’s stubborn determination.
Cherise found herself faltering under Kareen’s steady gaze and resolute demeanor. For a moment, she was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunexpectedly unsure of what to do. She had always assumed that Lyra’s struggles with Kareen stemmed from her
timid nature. But now, faced with Kareen’s unwavering resolve, Cherise felt a flicker of doubt.
After all, Zachary and Kareen were siblings by blood, and an outsider couldn’t easily replace the significance they
held for each other.
In a silent gesture of support, she squeezed Lyra’s hand. “Don’t give up just yet. There’s always a way.”
Just as their hope seemed to fade, a chillingly familiar voice cut through the silence. “Wait a second.”
Damien stood behind her, arms folded, gaze fixed on Kareen’s retreating figure. “What if I could offer you and your
brother a chance to regain the favor of the Miles family? A chance to tame your stepmother and half-brother?
Would you be willing to listen to us?”
Kareen’s body stiffened before she turned, “You? Solve our family’s problems?” she scoffed.
She and Zachary had been marginalized within the Miles family for far too long.
Their mother’s tragic death had barely been mourned before Walter married Patricia, who then gave birth to Chad
within a mere six months. It further solidified Kareen and Zachary’s exclusion from their rightful place in the family.
Since then, Zachary and Kareen, siblings by blood, fell out of favor within the Miles family.
If it weren’t for Charisa, who later became the head of the family and took them under her wing, Kareen wouldn’t
be the woman she is today. But with Charisa gone, they were all alone, Zachary was Kareen’s only pillar of support,
and now…
“Yes, I can.” Damien assured with a smile, “Ms. Miles, how about we sit down and discuss this? I believe I

can help you resolve the issues within the Miles family and your stepmother. In return, I ask for your respect
towards your brother and Lyra’s choices.”
Kareen pursed her lips, her mind racing. Finally, a slight frown appeared on her face. “Very well. I’m curious to hear
how you, an outsider, plan to solve the complex situation within the Miles family in such a short time.”
Damien, a figure of quiet confidence, crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe. A calm smile. remained
on his lips. “It’s not that difficult. I can make it happen if you agree to allow your brother and Lyra to have their
wedding.”
“And if you fail?” Kareen challenged, her gaze unwavering.

“You have quite the fire in you. If things go wrong, feel free to take it out on Lyra.”
Kareen blinked, surprised. Then, she whispered something to the doctor, and he nodded before entering
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZachary’s room.
“Follow me,” the doctor coughed, leading Cherise, Damien, and Lyra to the adjacent room.
The room, though small, was clean and tidy, reflecting the meticulous nature of its occupant.
Kareen settled onto the bed, her gaze coolly fixed on Damien and Cherise. “I bet you didn’t expect this, but I’ve
been staying here for the past few days. I plan to make this my permanent residence while I take care of Zac.”
As she mentioned Zachary, Kareen’s face darkened. “I never realized how bad things were when he was around.
Now, it’s all hitting me like a ton of bricks.”
She took a deep breath, then looked up with a wistful smile, her gaze drifting past Cherise as if searching for
something in the distance. “After Aunt Charisa passed away, she left Zac in charge of the Miles family and gave him
control of several businesses within the Miles Group. With all that power and responsibility, and with him always
protecting me, I could do whatever I wanted in the Miles family. No one dared to oppose me.”
“I indulged in my whims and made unreasonable demands, but no one dared to stop me. But then, two days ago,
Dad and Patricia found out about Zac’s car accident and his coma…”
Her eyes grew darker. “They kicked me out of the house, saying I wasn’t a threat anymore without Zac to shield me
and that they were tired of my behavior.”
