"Forget it," Penelope said. "I have nothing else to say since he has already stooped so low. Besides, I don't have much time left in me."

Seeing how stubborn Penelope was, I tossed the envelope down in front of her.

"Take a look at this. You funded his research to look for a cure to treat your family's genetic disease. But after his research bore fruit, he didn't share the cure with you. On the contrary, he added harmful drugs with severe side effects to your medication. He's trying to poison you to death!"

Penelope studied the photos that Jeremy had secretly snapped of the laboratory and the medical ingredients list that Oliver had used. The exhaustion in her eyes was swiftly replaced by a burning fury.

I knew then that I had succeeded in convincing her to join my cause. I sat next to her.

Silence blanketed the room for a long while before Penelope asked in a trembling voice, "What do you plan to do?"

I got to my feet and locked the door before returning to Penelope's side. I th

    After some time had passed, I spoke to Penelope over the phone, and she told me about what was happening.Oliver was swiftly fired from the school after the fiasco at the academic conference. He was eventually imprisoned after many of his illegal activities during his tenure were brought to light, per the Aster family's wishes.Penelope even paid a small fortune to the prison doctors to silently perform chemical castration on him.Meredith had also been fired from the school. She ended up being caught up in the massive debts that Liam and Matthew racked up during their time in Austona. She was later captured by loan sharks and forced to become a prostitute."What about the child?" I didn't say Elias' name aloud.Penelope remained mute.Later on, I received an international parcel from Praman. The envelope still had Praman's unique scent clinging to it when I held it in my hands. There was a single photograph in the parcel. In the photo, a pale, young boy was lying in a freezer.

    The presentation slides that had been filled with important information were replaced with a video of two people sleeping with each other, thanks to Penelope's control over the multimedia console.Footage of two naked bodies locked in a passionate embrace was broadcasted on the massive screen. Oliver knocked over a water bottle in shock when Meredith's moans echoed through the entire room.A deathly silence had fallen over the room. It didn't take long before people started recognizing the two naked figures on the screen to be Oliver and Meredith.That day, the headline, "Explicit video broadcasted during an academic conference", trended in first place on the hot topic chart.Meanwhile, Matthew was seated at a VIP table within Utopia Casino's grand hall in Austona. His eyes were reddened as he placed bet after bet.The staff member who was serving him was one of Penelope's men, and he was busy stacking up all of Matthew's winnings."Zack introduced us to a good and reliable pla

    My lips curled into a smile as I watched their backs grow smaller until they disappeared from my line of sight. Rainwater had pooled on the windowsill from the night before, reflecting the twisted smile stretched across my face.…It was 3:00 pm when I checked the time next. There were about three hours left before Meredith finished her work shift. Before she returned home, I prepared a feast for her.The moment Meredith stepped through the door, she was greeted with an impressive spread of delicious dishes. She stared at me in disbelief before a familiar glint appeared in her eyes. She looked as if she were looking at me from my past life.Her tone was a little mocking when she said, "Have you learned your lesson? Are you going to continue insisting on wanting a divorce?"I chuckled and replied, "I admit that I misunderstood you. You and Professor Westin simply share a teacher-student relationship. I apologize."Since I was being so diligent, Meredith lost the desire to make t

    I looked at Jeremy Jones in confusion upon hearing his words. "Are you saying that you can help me take revenge on them?" I asked.Jeremy unlocked his phone and showed me a photo of a woman. "I can't, but someone else can."He pointed at the screen and continued, "I found out about her when I was carrying out my investigation for you. I had no other choice. People in my line of business will have misfortune fall upon them if they look into someone they shouldn't."It's why we usually do background checks on our clients and their targets before taking on the job. This woman here is Penelope Aster. She's Oliver's wife and the eldest daughter of the Aster family. Oliver was able to rise to the top of the academic world thanks to her help."They've been married for many years, but they weren't able to have a child because of Penelope."I cut in before he could continue, "You want me to look for Penelope and expose her husband's true self to her? What if she already knows that Oliver i

    Meredith's gentle expression immediately morphed into one of displeasure. "Zack Fairfield, do you have to force me into a corner like this? I'm already going along with what you want. Why are you still unsatisfied? "You're sleeping in the master bedroom all by yourself while Elias and I are sleeping in the smaller room. Dad suffers from rheumatism all year-round, but I still convinced him to sleep in the basement. What else do you want me to do?"Liam was already complaining, even though he had only slept in the basement for one night. I had to sleep in the basement for most of my life, yet I didn't say a word. I didn't bother continuing the conversation with Meredith. I turned around and entered my room.I was determined to get a divorce, and I wasn't going to change my mind. I concealed the fact that I had heard what they were saying when I was standing beyond the basement door. It was imperative that they didn't find out I was aware of their plans.But Elias' words and Meredi
