Chapter 326 The Final Confrontation

"I'm sure you have wealthy fans. Just look at your handsome face. Even though you've ruined it now, it's still decent enough. You should let one of your wealthy fans take care of you. That way, you can pay back the money I owe," Nickson suggested, his tone utterly

shameless.

Sylvan couldn't believe what he was hearing. His younger brother had reached new depths of insensitivity. "Nickson, do you even know what it means to be shameless? This is just too embarrassing. I would rather be broke than con money from my fans, and I certainly won't let them support me."

Frustration boiled over as Nickson yelled at Sylvan. "Sylvan, I'm your only brother. How can you treat me like this? If it weren't for my disfigurement, I would have been an actor myself. Why should you get the chance?"

"Sylvan, you need to agree to what Joel suggested. Sleep with your fans. Let them pay for you. I promise that within a week, you'll have at least 200,000."

Sylvan lay on the floor, staring at Nickson. Angered, he stood up and slapped Nickson hard across the face. "Nickson, they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Our parents passed away when we were young, leaving me to look after you. Do you realize how much I sacrificed? I worked tirelessly to support your education. I chose to suffer rather than provide you with everything good I could muster. And what have you learned from this? You flaunted a face that looked similar to mine, deceiving my fans and taking advantage of them. "When the video of your shameful behavior went online, I stepped back from the entertainment industry to shield you from backlash. You know how much I cherished my acting career. I gave it all up because of you, working as a server just to make ends meet for you and your wife. I had hoped that once your wife became pregnant, you would change. But here we are, and nothing has improved; you remain ensnared in your gambling addiction!

"Now, because of your reckless behavior, your wife is in hospital, and your child has been lost due to your negligence. Nickson, I've endured so much this past year. I beg you, say goodbye to your destructive path and cut me some slack. From today onward, I refuse to care for you. I won't care whether you are dead or alive!"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

How deep of a disappointment must one person have felt to utter such callous words?

Tears welled in Sylvan's eyes as he released Nickson and stepped toward Joel. "Did you say you wanted his hand to clear his debt? Here's your chance. Cut it off and make him get rid of this habit."

With that, Sylvan turned and left the room without glancing back.

Lying helplessly on the floor, Nickson scrambled to his feet and rushed to cling to Sylvan. "You can't just abandon me. You promised Mom and Dad that you would take care of me. How could you turn your back on me now? Do you think this is what they would want What about the promise you made them?"

"Sylvan...

"Don't leave! Please, don't go. You can't just leave me. If you do, I'll die. Think about it. How could I live without my hand?"

Sylvan!"

Sylvan shut his eyes, struggling against the tide of emotions threatening to overwhelm him. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to abandon Nickson.

He pulled his leg away from Nickson's grasp, speaking coldly, "This is the last time!"
