Where Destiny Forgot Us 5

Where Destiny Forgot Us 5 Summary

Beckett is confronted by Vivian, who coldly informs him that Avery is dead and that he will never see her again. Despite his disbelief and desperate need to see Avery, Vivian physically slaps him and asserts her authority, making it clear that no one is allowed to interfere when she speaks to Beckett. Bella, lying injured in bed, tries to defend Beckett, but Vivian’s butler harshly silences her with slaps, reinforcing the strict control Vivian holds over the situation.

 

Vivian then summons several individuals involved in a recent scandal, including a driver, an assailant, and a journalist, all of whom implicate Bella as the mastermind behind the chaos. Vivian condemns their actions, emphasizing the damage done to the Vale family’s reputation by Bella’s schemes. Bella, pale with fear, is powerless to defend herself in Vivian’s intimidating presence.

 

Vivian orders Bella to be taken to a psychiatric center, where she will face severe punishment. As Bella pleads for mercy, claiming her actions were motivated by love for Beckett, he violently silences her, his anger and betrayal evident. Vivian presents Beckett with Avery’s death certificate, blaming him for the disgrace brought upon the family by his involvement with Avery.

 

Refusing to accept Avery’s death, Beckett becomes frantic and tries to leave, but Vivian allows him to go, knowing he won’t rest until he uncovers the truth. Beckett returns to the rooftop, now deserted except for a dried pool of blood, which devastates him. Overwhelmed by grief and disbelief, he feels immobilized, unable to move forward or accept the reality before him.

“You don’t need to go. Avery is dead. You’ll never see her again.” 

“What did you just say?” 

Beckett froze for a moment, instinctively pushing the butler aside and moving to leave. 

“Mother, I don’t have time for jokes right now. I know you’ve never liked Avery, but she’s badly 

hurt. I need to see her.” 

Seeing she couldn’t stop him, she stepped forward and delivered a heavy slap across his face. 

“Have you caused enough trouble?” 

“Look at yourself right now!” 

“Mrs. Vale…” Bella called out from the bed, her voice filled with unease. 

“Don’t blame Beckett… he only did it for me…” 

Vivian lifted her eyes coldly. 

The butler, understanding her meaning, stepped forward and delivered two sharp slaps to Bella’s 

face. 

“When Mrs. Vale speaks to Master Vale, outsiders have no right to interrupt.” 

Bella pressed her swollen face with her hands, biting her lips hard. 

The sob that had almost escaped her mouth was instantly swallowed when it met Vivian’s icy gaze. 

Vivian raised her hand, and the bodyguards immediately dragged several people into the room. 

Beckett recognized each of them immediately. 

One was the driver who had claimed in the hospital that I hired him to harm Bella. 

Another was the person who had knocked me out. 

And one was the journalist leading the chaos today. 

The moment they saw Beckett, they scrambled to speak first. 

“Mr. Vale, Miss King paid me to hit her outside the hospital. I didn’t mean to frame your wife!

Please spare me!” 

“Mr. Vale, Miss King only asked me to knock someone out and bring them to the rooftop. I didn’t know it was your wife!” 

“Mr. Vale, the videos were sent to us by Miss King herself…” 

Vivian gave a cold snort. “While I may not care for Avery, for as long as she held the title of Mrs. 

Vale, her reputation was tied to that of the Vale family.” 

“And you, falling for this cheap woman’s petty schemes and creating such a scandal… you are a 

fool!” 

By the time the people entered, Bella’s face had turned pale with fear. 

When she met Beckett’s gaze, she shuddered even more. 

Under normal citances, she might have cried out or defended herself. 

But with Vivian present, facing such an authoritative figure, she couldn’t utter a single word. 

“Take this cheap woman to Ravenhill Psychiatric Center. Let her rot in the lowest hellhole Westlake City has to offer.” 

At a signal from Vivian, the bodyguards dragged Bella out. 

“Beckett, I don’t want to go to the asylum! Please save me! I’m sincere! I did this because I love you! 

You–ah-“} 

Her cries were cut off by a sharp slap from Beckett. 

He gripped her by the throat, his eyes blazing crimson, looking as though he wanted to choke the 

life out of her then and there. 

“Enough.” 

As Bella’s eyes rolled from suffocation, Vivian spoke coldly. 

The bodyguards dragged her away like a dead weight, 

Vivian thrust the death certificate against Beckett’s face. 

“You were the one so determined to marry Avery, and you’re also the one who has created this disgrace!”

“Your father and I have always turned a blind eye to your affairs, but your stupidity lies in tarnishing the Vale family’s name!” 

“No!” Beckett’s eyes were red with fury as he clenched the death certificate. 

“Avery can’t be dead! You’re lying! I’m going to find her!” 

He lunged toward the door in a frenzy. 

Vivian waved her hand. 

“Let him go.” 

“He will never give up until he sees the truth.” 

Staggering, Beckett returned to the abandoned rooftop. 

Nothing was there. 

The large pool of blood on the ground had dried, shocking to the eyes. 

Seeing it, Beckett felt his heart ripped in two. 

His feet as if they were cast in lead, utterly refusing to move.
