She Robbed Me, so I Left Her Penniless Chapter 10
"You said I planned your downfall." I scoffed, continuing, "Without me, you're nothing, Claire."Claire slumped to the floor, utterly drained, as if every ounce of strength had been sucked out of her.After a moment, she lifted herself shakily and staggered toward the door. Her shoulders were hunched, her back bent, and in an instant, she appeared ten years older.Just as she reached for the door, a familiar figure suddenly appeared from the corner, blocking her path. It was Logan. "So, you two actually made up!"His hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked nothing like the man he had been before.Seeing Claire step out of my place, Logan lost it completely. "What am I to you, Claire? What's our son to you? I have nothing now because of you, yet you're here looking for this bastard?"Already defeated and frustrated, Claire yanked her hand free and snapped, "Are you done? What I do is none of your damn business! You're the one who wanted to be with me in the first pl

At my words, Claire drew a deep breath. Her voice carried a note of reluctant compromise."Alright. You can have the family estate, but I want the company," Claire said. "It's my life's work. I can't just hand it over. As for the shares you hold, though, I can buy them all at market value."I replied with deliberate weight, "Sure. As long as you return everything you've spent on him and his son over the years, I won't touch your company."Without hesitation, she agreed and got to it right away.The following day, Claire hired a lawyer to sue Logan, demanding the return of all the gifts and money she had given him over the years.In court, Logan insisted that the money had all been voluntary, as they were living expenses for him and child support for Caleb. Over the years, Claire had spent 18 million dollars on them.Ultimately, the court ruled that Logan had to return eight million. It wasn't everything, but it was enough to wipe him out. On the day of the verdict, he screamed hy

Dad's eyes were full of pain and tenderness. "Good girl, Nancy. Grandpa's taking you to the hospital now."After a few days of rest at the hospital, Nancy's complexion improved a lot. Still, her spirit was fragile. She would often wake up from a nightmare, so I stayed by her side the whole time.That day, Logan had been the main instigator, so Claire was released on bail soon after.Before long, she showed up at the ward door, carrying an elegant fruit basket and a bouquet of pink baby's breath—Nancy's favorite.Claire wore a simple white dress. Dark circles lingered under her eyes, wearing her overall appearance down. Standing at the door, she spoke cautiously, almost testing the waters."Honey, Nancy, I came to see you two."Nancy had been leaning against me, reading. When she saw Claire, her eyes lit up just a little. "Mom…"I could tell that even though she was somewhat afraid, she still secretly longed for her mother's love.Claire reacted as if she had been granted a pard

That said, Caleb still held his head high, refusing to back down.Claire watched his reckless defiance, then glanced at Dad's increasingly cold expression. A surge of anger shot straight to her heart. Without thinking, she swung her hand and slapped Logan hard."Look at the son you've raised! You've spoiled him into a total brat!"Logan's head turned to the side from the blow, a clear handprint marking his cheek. He pressed his palm to his face, his eyes instantly reddening in disbelief."You hit me? Ask yourself—do you, as his mother, have zero responsibility for how he turned out?"Flustered and furious, Claire ignored Logan and turned to Dad, desperate to explain herself."Dad, this man seduced me. I only stayed because he threatened me with the child. You know how these social obligations can be unavoidable, but my heart belongs to Joseph only. From now on, I'll sever all ties with them!"Logan, still bristling from the slap, lost all sense of reason. He lunged forward and g

Dad ignored Mr. Zimmerman, who had approached him first. He didn't notice the pale-looking Claire either. Instead, he made a beeline for me.Tension rose as he took in the pale, bruise-covered Nancy in my arms, as well as the clear handprints around my neck. "What the hell is going on?"His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to silence the entire hall.Mr. Zimmerman, who had been irritably obnoxious earlier, started sweating and stuttering despite not grasping the situation."M-Mr. Davidson, that was just a misunderstanding. This father and daughter tried to make a scene at Ms. Gibson's son's birthday party, so a ruckus started."We're sorry that you had to witness this. Maybe next time I can welcome you properly if your assistant informs me in advance—"Dad coldly cut him off. "You said my son and granddaughter were making a scene?"His gaze sliced across Claire and Logan—who were still linking arms—like a deadly knife. "Nancy, tell me who hit you."Claire rushed forward. "D

The marriage I once took pride in now seemed to be full of flaws and cracks.Before I could even recover from my shock, Caleb suddenly rushed over and slapped Nancy across the face. "Your dad hit my mom earlier, so now, I get to teach you a lesson!"Nancy's head tilted to the side, a large red print forming on her fair face. She was taller than Caleb by a head and stubborn and competitive like most kids her age, so she instinctively wanted to fight back.At that moment, Logan grabbed her hands and pinched her wrists, his voice sharp. "Girls should never be so aggressive! You need some manners drilled into you!"Seeing Nancy restrained, Caleb seized the opportunity to attack her, showering her with kicks and punches. Kids had no concept of holding back. Soon, bruises appeared on Nancy's body.Tears streamed down her pitiful face, but she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to let even a whimper escape."Stop it!" I yelled, trying to pull Caleb away in a panic, but Logan held me back.
