Chapter 2256
Was it really worth it, sacrificing his whole life for a woman who never once looked back at him on
her own accord?
Yet, he had already done so many wrong things for her, all out of the aching sympathy he felt when
Diana suffered injustices on the film set, prompting him to take on Ivy for her.
And this time, dealing with Thalia was all by his own hand as well, fearing to taint Diana's pristine
hands.
But how had she ever treated him?
She didn't love him, not at all, and it was only now, in this stark moment, that Kael realized the
truth.
Like now, he was out in these godforsaken woods, plotting against a young girl for Diana's sake,
while she was probably at home, savoring a glass of red wine as if none of this mess had anything
to do with her.
This woman had ruined his life.
"You're going to throw away your life for a woman like that? Don't you feel like a complete fool?â
Balfour chimed in just at the right moment, provoking an angry glare from Kael.
"What do you know? You can't possibly understand how much I love her. I'd give anything for her.
You rich folks wouldn't get it!"
"Oh? Is that so? And does she love you?â Balfour's question left Kael speechless.
He didn't want to answer that question at all because he knew very well in his heart that Diana

âShe's out of my league. She's like a star in the sky, out of reach for a guy like me. Just being able to
watch over her from behind is enough for me,â Kael sighed, as if lamenting the state of his
unrequited love. But Balfour's words pierced through his self-delusions.
"Stop wallowing in self-pity. You think your love is so noble?â
Kael's eyes practically spat fire. He wanted to throw Thalia to the ground and tear into Balfour's
smug face.
"What did you say? Of course, someone like you, born with a silver spoon, wouldn't understand!â
"Heh, I'm saying you're fooling yourself into thinking your love is grand, making excuses for your
own inadequacies.â
Margot clenched her fists tightly, afraid that Balfour's provocation would anger Kael and
inadvertently harm Thalia. Yet, under Balfour's taunting, Kael's attention had shifted from
