“What idea?” Caleb pressed immediately—at this point, any plan was worth considering.“Husband, we create a setup—a trap—and do a livestream. Force her to personally admit that she *is* Amanda.” It was the only option left.There was no way to do a DNA test now.Back when Amanda had “died,” Evelyn had destroyed all her belongings.Without any DNA evidence, Amanda had been able to act so brazenly.Caleb had hoped for something better, but even if this plan was foolish, it was the only choice they had.“How are you going to get her to admit it?” he asked. He didn’t know Amanda well—every time he saw her in the past, he’d be reminded of *that woman’s* death.Evelyn smirked coldly. “An opportunity will come soon. When we’re at our lowest, that will be when she feels her greatest triumph. At that moment, she *will* admit it—willingly. When that happens, I’ll make sure I speak up—just have someone record it.”“As long as we prove she’s alive, our daughter won’t be convicted of murder,” Evel
The butler replied, “Yes,” and hurried off to answer the door.As soon as the door opened, Delphine rushed in.Caleb breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was.Once inside, the first thing Delphine noticed were Carol and Evelyn trembling in the corner, both of them visibly unstable.“What happened to them?” she asked in surprise.Caleb shot her a cold glance. “I heard your Barry’s been having nightmares every night too. The three of them are suffering from the same illness.”Women often had a lower threshold for stress than men. Barry had only held it together through sheer willpower.Delphine was stunned. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. If her beloved younger son really went insane, she would never be able to accept it.“It must be Amanda—she drugged them,” she muttered and walked toward Evelyn.“Evelyn, snap out of it. Playing crazy will only drag both our families into ruin faster.”When Evelyn heard her name, she slowly turned her head toward Delphine.She was st
Barry froze again.“Trap? What trap?”For the first time, true fear surged in his heart. Only now did he finally realize: his life was being completely controlled by someone else.One wrong move, and that person could crush him like an ant.And now, Amanda was telling him to walk into her trap himself?He couldn’t help but start to wonder—had Amanda been digging a hole for him all along?Amanda could hear the fear in Barry’s voice. She could already imagine the awful expression on his face.Mental torture was always the most brutal. And that was exactly how she had lived these past years.That proud and arrogant Barry, now cursed and despised by all—just the thought of it filled her with satisfaction.She could picture every shade of despair on his face.“Barry, if you’ve got the guts, then guess for yourself,” she said coldly. “Let me tell you something: I will have my revenge. You must pay with your life, or else Amanda will never rest in peace.”She paused, then added sharply, “Bes
Brad immediately understood what he meant. This was Barry’s greatest weakness.“There were harmful substances mixed into the Nectar of Fragrance. The side effects are severe, with a latency period of about ten years. If this gets reported, for Barry, it’ll be like returning to square one ten years ago.”Benjamin nodded coldly. “Tell Barry this is just a warning. If he dares lay a finger on Amanda again, his entire company is finished.”“Got it,” Brad replied.Back in his own office, Brad uploaded the lab test report from Barry’s pharmaceutical company to the internet.Within minutes, public opinion reversed. The online narrative turned against Barry and the Wilson family.It was revealed that Nectar of Fragrance, a product developed by Barry’s company, had dangerous side effects and a long latency period. The news went viral.Immediately, the stock of both the Wilson family’s holdings and Barry’s pharmaceutical company began to plummet.The internet was in chaos that day, buzzing with
Patrick asked curiously, “Don’t tell me you’re still sleeping? What, did the divorce break your spirit so much that you drank yourself unconscious and can’t get up?”Amanda: “...” Your imagination is impressive.“Are you kidding me? Me, Amanda, the kind of person who’d fall apart after a divorce? Please. I just finally had some free time, so I let myself sleep in a bit.”She was wide awake now.Patrick laughed. “Then let’s go out to eat. Bring the kids—I haven’t even met them yet! You stingy thing, why are you hiding them from me?”But he already knew the answer.“It’s for their safety. You have no idea how adorable my babies are. Everyone who sees them wants to take them home and raise them,” Amanda said proudly.Patrick twitched at the corner of his eye—same excuse, thousandth time.“Same old line, Amanda. I beg you, please spare my ears. If you’re gonna keep me from seeing them, at least give me a new reason.”Amanda chuckled so hard she almost couldn’t stop.“Fine, fine. I told yo
“Get out!” A few seconds later, Benjamin said it again, this time with even more force.Jennifer paused. She frowned slightly but still smiled sweetly and said, “Benjamin, congratulations on being able to stand again. Auntie must be smiling down on you from heaven.” Her expression was gentle, as if she was genuinely happy for him.Benjamin slowly sat back down, but his eyes grew even colder.Jennifer bit her lip, taking one last look at his perfectly proportioned physique, then turned and left.Now that Benjamin could walk again, planning her next move would be even easier.No rush—take it slow. Benjamin had always been a man of contradictions, especially when it came to feelings. He was emotionally dense. She would make him realize, eventually, that she was the one he truly loved.Sitting coldly in his chair, Benjamin tapped on his computer screen and saw that news about Mr. Reed was everywhere. The man was being cursed left and right online.He would be swamped cleaning up the mess
