Chapter 7

Author: Ink Keeper
Listening to Tiffany’s murmuring, I no longer had the desire to speak. My assistant next to me, however, couldn’t help but say, “You ungrateful, foolish woman! When you were abducted years ago, Professor Hunt was nearby. He was the one who risked his life to save you!

“He was stabbed in the chest to save you! Just a fraction of an inch off would have pierced through his heart!

“What’s laughable is that you stand before your savior, unaware of his sacrifice, yet consort yourself with a criminal. You’re simply beyond redemption…”

My assistant’s barrage of accusations struck Tiffany like heavy blows to the head, making her dizzy and disoriented.

Only then did she recall the scar on my chest that she had seen before. That was also when she mocked me, asking if I had heart disease.

The memory engulfed her in regret, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Mr. Jefferson suddenly understood why I had supported his family and was overcome with shame.

    After coaxing my daughter to sleep, I immediately called Commissioner Walker and had several armored police vehicles dispatched to me. Upon arriving at the preschool that my daughter had mentioned, the police cars rammed through the fence and came to a halt before the school building. Within moments, an obese woman was carried out and heavily thrown onto the ground.This woman was the principal Maddie spoke of, the one who often abused her.She scrambled to her feet and, with a hollow threat, said, “Do cops think they can just beat people up? I’ll report you!”“Does Matilda Hunt ring a bell?”“That little b*stard? Ms. Jefferson asked me to take special care of her. You must be one of Ms. Jefferson’s men, aren’t you? We’re on the same side!”With Matilda’s name brought up, the principal’s face lit up. Unfortunately, she was kicked to the ground by an armed police officer the next second.Facing her resentful glare, I grinned and said, “I am the father of that ‘little b*stard

    With face flushed a furious shade of red, Mr. Jefferson’s heart ached with anguish.“What!”Tiffany trembled all over, and her fair complexion turned ashen instantly. She shook her head in disbelief.“Impossible… impossible…”“Open your eyes and see clearly! Your so-called lover signed dual contracts, embezzled company funds, and exploited the female employees! The Attorney General's Office has already begun seizing all of Jefferson Corp’s assets!”Mr. Jefferson pointed at Fabian as his entire body trembled.The truth came in one blow after another.Of course, Tiffany refused to believe Fabian’s betrayal and continued to defend him. “Daddy, you must’ve been mistaken. How could darling Fab do such things?”She then looked at Fabian and said, “Say something! You didn’t do all these things, right?”However, facing her hopeful eyes, Fabian remained cold.Everything was now evident without further explanation. Realizing she had been deceived, Tiffany collapsed to the floor.

    “Hands up! Nobody move!”With a thunderous shout, dozens of fully armed military police sprang into action, subduing everyone in the hall. Yet, Fabian remained arrogant after seeing this.“Where did you lot come from? Don’t you know this property belongs to the Jeffersons? Get your commanding officer here. I want an explanation!”Seeing Fabian full of confidence, Chester stepped forward too.“You guys deaf? Didn’t you hear Brother Fab’s orders? Or are you lot sick and tired of living in Cirrus already?”As he spoke, he tried to push aside the armed police officer in front of him.Before he could reach the officer, he was slammed to the ground as a cold weapon pressed against his head.Fabian tried to step forward but was immediately struck on the leg with a baton, forcing him to his knees.Among the officers, my assistant rushed over to support me. His face turned from shock to fury as he said, “Professor, who… who did this to you?”I shook my head and pointed at Maddie.“G

    Fabian’s words hit me like a brick as I stared at him dead-on.“You knew all along!”He burst into wild laughter.“Why else would I call you stupid? If not for the thrill, why would I ever let a loser like you have her? You two have been married for five years. I’ve been playing with her for five years. I’ve worn her out so much that she won’t even let you touch her.Blood rushed to my head instantly. I swung at him, but he dodged it.“Why? You’re like a brother. Why would you do this to me?”Faced with my questions, Fabian showed no remorse and instead glared at me with resentment.“I hate it the most when you act like you’re all saintly, handing me scraps like charity. I want to take everything that belongs to you and make your children my pets!”“You monster!”I forced myself to stand, but before I could, a slap was whipped across my face.“Which b*stard dares—”The moment she saw me, Tiffany's voice faltered, and a flicker of panic flashed across her face.“What are you

    At my order, a funeral procession suddenly erupted, carrying funeral wreaths on the red wedding carpet.Some sang, while some were waiting. The whole ceremony turned chaotic in an instant.Fabian’s face turned ashen, and he hurriedly ordered his men to dismiss the procession.Looking thrilled, the florist owner came to me and said, “Mr. Hunt, all your wreaths have been delivered. I’ve even thrown in the full-service package. Are you satisfied?”I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.“Well done. When my buddy gets hitched, I’ll be sure to call you again!”The owner looked utterly bewildered, while Fabian was struck with the realization that I was behind this, and he trembled in rage.“You son of a b*tch, Matthew Hunt! I’ll kill you!”As he spoke, he swung his fist straight at my face.I caught his wrist, shoved my shoulder into him, and flipped him over cleanly.Fabian hit the floor like a dog face-planting in the dirt, groaning in pain. His lackey, Chester, grabbed a chair and
