This was the result of terrible karma! Mariska cursed bitterly, cursing the entire lineage of Michelle’s family.
But Parker couldn’t stand anyone saying a bad word about Michelle. In a fit of rage, he
grabbed a nearby fruit knife and stabbed it toward his mother’s heart.
The wound was gruesome, blood pouring out and Mariska could not believe her eyes as she stared at Parker. She never imagined that her own son, the one she had raised with such care, would attempt to kill her for the sake of
a woman.
Parker stared at the blood on his hands, growing more exhilarated and shouted, “No

one can hurt Michelle! I will protect Michelle!”
Mariska collapsed in a pool of blood, her eyes open in disbelief. While everyone scrambled to save her, Parker quietly slipped out of the psychiatric hospital.
Learning that Michelle had returned to Dallas and reclaimed her heritage, Parker made his way there, eventually finding himself in front of the Diesel Family’s gate.

At that moment, Michelle and Kenneth had just returned home after shopping for groceries. They spotted a scruffy beggar lurking near the gate and after a moment of scrutiny, Michelle recognized him as Parker.

staggered forward, trembling as he reached
out to grab Michelle’s hand, only to see her take a few steps back, now guarded by Kenneth.
“What are you even doing here?” Michelle’s voice was sharp, no longer filled with any affection.
“Parker!” Michelle’s eyes were sharp, no longer full of love as before, looking at him as if he were a stranger.
Her gaze, cold and unwavering, made Parker shiver, his heart filled with intense grievance. “Parker, do you remember the question I once asked you?” she asked.

“My name is now Michelle Diesel. I have a mother who loves me, a fiancé who cherishe me and friends who treat me kindly. I’m very happy with my life now.
