Chapter 895:
Tatiana couldn’t bear the thought of facing Jonathan’s wrath—she feared for her very life.
“Please, don’t send those photos to Jonathan p>
Though Tatiana had always known Yelena hailed from the powerful Harris family, she had never truly respected her before. But now, she was pleading like a beggar on her knees, desperation in every word. This was the first time Yelena had witnessed such humility from Tatiana—so utterly broken, so utterly at her mercy.
Yelena’s eyes narrowed, and she gave a bitter laugh. “What happens in the dark will eventually come to light p>
Tatiana froze for a moment and then glared at Yelena, anger flashing in her eyes. “I’m begging you with everything I have, and this is your answer p>
Yelena looked at her, cold and unfeeling. “You think a few desperate words are enough to prove your innocence? You haven’t even come close to crawling on your knees like I did p>
Years ago, when Yelena begged them to help Archie with medical treatment, they had turned her away, claiming they had no money. At that moment, Yelena had even knelt before them, but her pleas had fallen on deaf ears.
And in the end, Archie’s life slipped away, untouched by the treatment that could have saved him.
The guilt had been a weight Yelena could never shake. It taught her a harsh lesson—that strength was the only thing that could win people’s attention, that could make them listen.
Had she been stronger when Archie was sick, she wouldn’t have had to grovel before Jonathan and the others.
Tatiana’s face shifted, her expression morphing as if a sudden realization had dawned on her.
She mumbled under her breath, “I knew it… she’s not blood, that’s why she’ll never be grateful p>
Yelena’s gaze darkened, her voice icy as she asked, “What did you just say p>

Tatiana, thinking Yelena hadn’t heard her, tried to dismiss it. “No, I didn’t say anything p>
But Yelena’s hand struck Tatiana across the face, sharp as a whip. “Don’t pretend you didn’t say anything. What I begged you for wasn’t for my own sake—it was for Grandpa Archie! You were the selfish ones! Even with the money, you wouldn’t help him, and that’s why he died p>
Tatiana, unashamed, curled her lips in a mocking smile. “I didn’t realize that, after all this time, you still blame us. The doctor himself said that even with the surgery, Archie would only have had another year or so. That surgery cost hundreds of thousands. Why should we have wasted that money on an old man who didn’t have long left? Calling us selfish? You’re the one who’s being naive here. Without that money, we wouldn’t have the life we do now p>
Yelena’s eyes began to burn with rage, her voice strained, as though each word was a knife. “You’re profiting off of someone else’s suffering p>
Austin, who had already dealt with Jacob, sensed the growing tension in Yelena. He moved to her side, wrapping his arms around her in a gesture of comfort.
Yelena inhaled deeply, her breath shaky as she calmed herself. “I’m fine p>
With a sudden burst of strength, Yelena lifted Tatiana and hurled her next to Jacob. She quickly took out her phone and began snapping pictures of the two of them.
Tatiana, horrified by the situation, desperately wanted to cover her face. There she was, kneeling on the floor, stark-naked, beside Jacob—humiliation was an understatement.
But, under the threat of Yelena’s wrath, she gritted her teeth and endured, letting Yelena capture the shameful images. “Is this enough?” Tatiana hissed through clenched teeth.
