Chapter 11
As for the outcome, I had already anticipated it.
I had hired a private investigator who uncovered that while Evelynn was with my father, she had been two-timing him with one of her rollege
classmates
“What a pair of scumbags!”
I felt deeply sorry
rry for my
my father, but he was even more distressed about what I had endured.
“If it weren’t for this, you wouldn’t have had to suffer like this,” he said, his gaze filled with guilt as he looked at my scarred face, his expression
owing darker by the second.
For a moment, I could sense a flicker of murderous intent in him. Worried he might do something reckless, 1 quickly said.
“Dad, the current evidence is enough to put Lucy and her family behind bars for over a decade.”
“Let them live the rest of their lives in poverty and despair. That will hurt them far more than killing them.”
Sometimes, there are fates worse than death. This kind of punishment–reducing them to nothing–was more direct and effective than ending their Lives

But I underestimated Evelynn’s shamelessness
setum.
In a desperate attempt to force a settlement, Evelyn painted herself as the victim. Donning the persona of Torres Group’s “future wife,” she wept on social media, sharing her “tragic story.
She appeared putiful, claiming she had loved Jack wholeheartedly, only to be cruelly cast aside once he had tired of her.
The mention of Torres Group sent the post viral, and within days, it was trending Evelynn conveniently left out her own wrongdoings, instead showrasing a pregnancy report in her video. The result? An overwhelming wave of public condemnation directed at my father and me
Countless uninformed netizens sympathized with her and pitied her plight. The public backlash caused Torres Group’s reputation to take a sharp nosedive
