NovelUSAChapter 476 Sawyer's words made Citrine lift her eyelids ever so slightly, her eyes widening in shock.
Had Sawyer regained memories from his past life too? Before Citrine could dwell on it, Sawyer bowed his head, his voice earnest and low. "Citrine, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have played favorites, and I should never have helped Jeanette schfor your inheritance." So, Sawyer had been reborn as well.
Citrine's gaze sharpened instantly.

"You... you remember the past too?" Sawyer's whole body jolted. The final words Citrine spoke to him before her death in that previous life echoed in his mind, each syllable cutting deeper than the last.
In that instant, a thousand memories crashed down on him.
In the last life, Citrine had never cut ties with the Iverson family. She never went to look for her biological father, Raymond. The Iverson family never went bankrupt, he never divorced Aline, and he died never knowing Jeanette wasn't his real daughter.
But this life was nothing like the last. Everything had taken a different path, especially Citrine-she was slipping further and further away from him.
So, Citrine had remembered everything all along. That's why she had insisted on severing all ties with him in this life.
Since there was no point pretending anymore, Citrine folded her arms across her chest and let her lips curl into a wry smile. "If I didn't have memories of my past life, I'd probably be stuck in misery every single day." She'd spent her entire last life desperately chasing Sawyer's love, only to end up drowning in sorrow. Sawyer lowered his gaze, the weight of his memories pressing down mercilessly. He struggled to speak. "I'm sorry." Citrine's smile didn't reach her eyes. "Do you really think 'I'm sorry' fixes anything? Does a single apology erase all the pain you caused me?" Sawyer knew it didn't, but he couldn't bring himself to say nothing. "I failed you as a father. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. I swear I will." Citrine almost laughed. She looked at Sawyer, her voice flat and cold. "In the Iverson family, whenever نماد 13 something involved Jeanette, it always her side that mattered. I was always the one in the wrong." "Sawyer, you accused me, abandonedin that burning house, shippedoff overseas... and the list goes on. I remember every single thing. In all these years, I don't even have nightmares anymore." "Because the moment you show up in my dreams, I wake up. You are the nightmare I can't escape." Sawyer felt his heart sink, heavy with the truth he could no longer deny. For the first time, he truly understood just how deep Citrine's hatred for him ran-so deep, it spanned two lifetimes.
Before Sawyer could respond, Citrine continued, "Do you know who I hate the most, Sawyer? Out of everyone?" "Jeanette framed me, Aline abused me, Theo betrayed me... but none of that compares to the pain you gave me."
"To be honest, when I found out you, Holbrook, and Theo conspired to take my kidney for Jeanette, that was the moment I lost all hope in you." She fixed him with a piercing stare. "Do you know why I jumped that day?" Sawyer was silent, unable to meet her eyes.

Citrine let out a short, bitter laugh.
m "Because I realized as long as I carried the label of 'adopted daughter, anyone in the verson family could attackhowever they liked. That day, I understoodethe only way to be free was to give this life back to you. Only then, standing before you, could I stop being beneath you. Only then would your endless accusations finally end." As her words faded, Sawyer froze.
Suddenly, he remembered that final day and the words he'd spat at Citrine over the phone.
All he'd cared about was his and Jeanette's plan. He'd screamed at her, not thinking, noXcaring, "Praised NO you all these years! You should be grateful!
