Suddenly, the peace was shattered by the urgent ringing of the doorbell

Theodore frowned, irritated by the interruption. He threw on a robe and went to open the fur

As soon as the door opened, Jaziel's fist came flying toward húm

With a swift sidestep, Theodore dodged the punch and grabbed Jaziel's fist, inilting in firmly

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Jaziel's face was unkempt, dark circles under his eyes, and his stubble showing his ural composed appearance completely absent

His voice was as cold as ice:

"Theodore, taking Charlotte wasn't enough for you? Why did you have to target Nolan? He's lying in a hospital bed. and whether he keeps his leg is still uncertain. You'll pay for this?"

With that, Jaziel lunged at Theodore, and the two began to brawl

Despite Jaziel's aggression, Theodore skillfully defended himself, blocking every move with ease.reen his be spoke calmly:

"Jaziel, I wouldn't lower myself to such actions. I only arranged for someone to send you two back to V distract your families with other issues to keep you away from Charlotte and me."

The commotion drew Charlotte from her room.

Meanwhile, efforts to suppress the Rogers and Collins feuilles had already begun Lucy called Jaziel repeatedly, urging him to return to Miami Even Nolan was transferred back there for treatment

Theodore, having anticipated such conflicts before the wedding, had already set up a new company in Miami to directly compete with the Collins family.

With the Murphy family's influence in Miami and their alliance with the Washington family, they began to tighten their grip on both the Collins and Rogers families.

When Nolan woke up, he found his leg tightly bound, and panic set in

Jaziel, seated at his bedside, spoke coldly:

Your leg is fine, it's been saved. But you'll need extensive rehabilitation, and racing? Forget about it."

Hearing this, Nolan's despair deepened.

He could accept giving up racing by choice, but being forced to quit was unbearable.

After a long recovery, Nolan finally regained the ability to walk.

Eager to return to driving, he sat

behind the wheel of a car. But as et

soon as he tried to start the engine, cold sweat broke out all over his body.

The feeling of nearing death consumed him, and the shadow of his trauma

loomed over him like a stormcloud.

He couldn't even drive a regular car, let alone race.

Shaking, drenched in sweat, and pale as a ghost, Nolan stumbled out of the car.

Jaziel caught him, steadying him without a word.

Nolan looked at Jaziel, his voice hoarse.

"Why are you still here with me? Don't tell me you've given up on Charlotte."

Jaziel's distant gaze lingered on the horizon as he let out a long sigh.

"What else can I do but give up?"

During Nolan's recovery, Jaziel had made countless attempts to win Charlotte back, all in vain.

He wrote letters recounting their

t memories together, hoping

le something, but Charlotte

never responded.

She had already shared everything with Theodore, including her childhood bond with Jaziel and Nolan. Their open communication left no room for jealousy or doubt.

Nolan. Their open net

Jaziel had seen it for himself-Charlotte's love for Theodore was real and utterly

different from anything she had

shown him.

There was nothing left for him to do but let go.

Even if it pained him, what other choice did he have?

Nolan, hearing Jaziel's resignation, felt all hope drain from him.

He was a "cripple" now, unable to race or compete. How could he ever measure

up to Theodore?

The two parted ways in silence.

Jaziel threw himself into his work, keeping himself too busy to think of anything else.

Nolan repeatedly tried to overcome his trauma, though success eluded him.

Over time, their meetings became less frequent, their conversations shorter.

The three who had once been so close drifted apart, their bond fading into quiet estrangement.
