Lila choked, watching the lawyers bustling around, repeatedly confirming various clauses with Brenda, her expression growing stiffer.

Did she really want those so-called shares?

What she wanted was an apology from the person she once cherished the most.

No, what good is an apology?

What she wanted was something tangible, something that would make Brenda regret for life.

Lila gritted her teeth, barely suppressing her discomfort, and signed her name on the buyer's line of the contract handed to her by the lawyer.

Brenda's name was on the seller's line, as elegant and powerful as ever.

Lila's hand trembled slightly, and her handwriting appeared weak and flimsy, Lacked the same commanding presence.

But it didn't matter.

She had finally taken away that woman's heart.

"And the antidote to the poison?" Lilah stepped forward and coldly demanded.

Lila froze for a moment, instinctively raising her head to meet Lilah's fiery gaze.

This young girl seemed to care quite a bit for that woman.

"Don't worry, since I agreed to the exchange, I'll definitely hand over the antidote to the poison," Lila said, turning to leave, and at that moment, she seemed to catch a glimpse of the disappointment in Brenda's eyes.

Lila paused in her steps, her breath suddenly labored, as if she had been hit with a wave of despair, and she felt she might collapse at any moment.

How could this be happening? Why did her heart ache so intensely?

The pain spread through her entire body, an overwhelming pain driven by those haunting memories.

"Would you like a drawing pen as well? I happen to have an extra one; I'll give it to you."

"Lila, your name is so beautiful. I remembered it from the first time we met. You're so talented, and I'm so happy to be your friend."

"In the future, our company will be called Brenlla, combining our names to represent our unwavering friendship."

In her youth, Brenda was like a beacon of light, illuminating the shadows in Lila's heart.

Eventually, Lila became inseparable from her, only to fall from grace.

Brenda, Lila, Brenlla...

Stumbling, Lila made her way outside, but suddenly stopped, she suddenly spat blood before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
