Eugene continued, "I never intended to use Violeta's popularity to suppress your negative press. That theater
performance incident was a coincidence; maybe even fate gave you one last chance.
"Clearly, you didn't make the right choice. You disappointed fate, so now fate wants you gone."
An assistant handed Eugene a disposable cup of water.
He took a sip and went on, "Lydia, when you decided to leave Apex and go solo, | wondered if it had been too
easy for you to rise to the top in recent years, almost making you forget how tough that first year was.

"The day you left Apex four years ago shattered our bond. I've seen you at your peak, and now | won't miss your

With that, Eugene turned and left the hospital room.
His assistant stood stunned, not reacting.
They had thought Eugene cto help them, but never expected ...
Eugene was here to deliver his final farewell.
Lydia had played her cards poorly. Even fate wasn't on her side anymore.
She was so furious that she fainted again.
The assistant hurriedly pressed the call button.
