LOGIN"Jack Lou, you monster! Go to hell!"The judge struck the gavel, warning her to remain silent.Throughout the entire trial, she made a scene, pushing all the blame onto me."He forced my hand! He has a new lover! He abandoned his wife and daughter!"He didn't give me money! I was just doing what I could to get alimony!"I never thought of hurting Annie. She's my daughter! How could I possibly hurt her?!"However, in the face of overwhelming evidence, her outbursts looked nothing more than ridiculous.The judge delivered the verdict on the spot."Defendant Sandra Wren, guilty of kidnapping, is sentenced to five years in prison. ."Sandra slumped to the ground. Sobbing hard. She tried to crawl to me."No, I don't want to go to prison! No! I don't want to! Jack, I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please give me another chance for Annie's sake! I can't go to prison! My life will be completely ruined!"Without looking at her, I got up and left.Kian was also sentenced to five years for his
Sandra cackled maniacally, her voice echoing harshly in the empty space."Come immediately, and come alone to the abandoned warehouse in the outskirts! Bring a remarriage agreement and one million dollars in cash, otherwise…"She paused.A loud slap rang out, followed by Annie's cries."I'll beat this sickly girl to death!""Daddy! Help me! I'm scared!"Hearing Annie's cries, I lost it and bellowed, "Sandra, how dare you lay a finger on her?!""Hahaha! So, you know fear, too!"She laughed even more arrogantly. "You have one hour. For every minute you’re late, I'll carve another cut into her arm!"Then, she hung up.I froze on the spot, and my blood ran cold.I immediately called Brandon."Call the police! Track that phone number, but stay low. Don't alarm her. Also, go to the bank and get me a million dollars in cash."I rushed to the elevator and headed straight for the garage.Half an hour later, my car screeched to a halt in front of a huge warehouse.With a briefcase
Sandra had lost everything. She was abandoned by everyone.Penniless, she had no choice but to spend the night at a 24-hour supermarket.Curled up in a corner, she ate instant noodles she would not have touched before.On the TV, the midday financial news was playing.Dressed in a sharp suit, I stood surrounded by countless reporters."Chairman of the Lou Group, Jack Lou, has announced the full acquisition of Kian Bar, furthering his venture into the entertainment industry…"Sandra glared at the familiar yet strange face on the screen, her eyes filled with disbelief.She had never once asked me about my job. She only knew that I would wire her a huge sum of money periodically.The next day, just as my car came to a halt, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the flowerbeds.Sandra stood in front of me in a cheap t-shirt and jeans. Her hair was greasy, and her face was still covered in bruises from her fight the day before.There was nothing left of her former elegance.Bl
I slowly rolled down the car window, looking at the deflated man without any expression.If Kian ran shady dealings in his bar, he should have been prepared for the day he would have to pay the price.Before I could even speak, two bodyguards had already stepped out of the car. One on each side, they grabbed Kian by the arms and dragged him away from the ground.I said calmly, "There's no need to beg. The law will deal with you."The car moved, passing him by.Kian slumped on the ground, watching my car vanish from his sight in despair.The next day, Brandon suddenly sent me a video. The footage was of a shabby, small rental apartment.After Sandra was kicked out, she could not bear to sell her luxury bags and jewelry, so she could only afford to live there.Kian, eyes bloodshot, was smashing and cutting apart her belongings, including her bags, dresses, and cosmetics.In less than five minutes, the whole place was a mess."It's all your fault! You're married! Why did you sti
Kian looked over in shock, and his arrogance instantly vanished.The people who had just arrived were the hospital director, Robert Lenox, and my assistant, Brandon Book.Robert had jogged all the way, so his forehead was sweating a little, but he was still smiling respectfully."Mr. Lou, what an honor to have you here. Why didn't you inform me in advance? I would've come down to welcome you!" he said while cautiously observing my expression.The people who mistreated me just moments ago were completely stunned.They exchanged glances, the color draining from their faces at a visible speed, turning deathly pale, especially the nurse.She lowered her head, her body trembling, not even daring to look at me.Kian looked at Robert in disbelief. Then, he looked at Brandon. His lips quivered, but he found no words.Sandra's smugness was being replaced by bafflement.I ignored those clowns.Hugging Annie, I said to Robert with suppressed anger, "Robert, my daughter's condition sudde
My heart felt like it was being torn apart.Looking hurt and confused, I asked Sandra hoarsely, "Is there nothing else left but money on your mind?"Enduring the sharp pain at the back of my head, I held Annie with one arm. With the other, trembling, I reached into my coat and pulled out a prescription, folded neatly and carefully."When Annie was first diagnosed with a genetic disease, none of us gave up. I worked day and night, traveling for business. I finally earned enough to hire the most authoritative specialist abroad. I finally had enough to support her expensive hospitalization and imported medication."My eyes reddened as my vision began to blur, yet I was still staring at Sandra."Have you forgotten what you told me through tears? You said you would stay with Annie and I until she recovers. You said that this family will never be apart! W-What happened to you?"My voice had a hint of desperation that even I had not expected from myself.Sandra looked at the prescripti
