Chapter 6

Author: Anonymous
Audrey raised her voice. "What right do you have to take Shane away? He hasn't done anything wrong! You can't just break the rules like this!"

Seeing how firmly she stood by her husband, the reporters seemed surprised. Just like that, all the rumors that Audrey and I didn't get along seemed to fall apart.

But that wasn't what I wanted. I wanted them to lose everything.

One of the officers gestured impatiently toward the door. "The case is still under investigation. I understand you're worried

  • She Stole My Life for Him   Chapter 10

    Ms. Jenkins was a kind woman. In the end, she never signed off on the agreement.When I asked her why, she smiled. "Forget it. I remember Audrey. She was a hardworking kid who loved to learn. She used to live here too. It's just a shame she fell in love with the wrong man and married him."She was so smart. She might've had a much better future."I paused, then pulled up Audrey's records. That was when I found out she'd spent three years at Hope Children's Home, something she'd never once mentioned.I felt a little sad for Ms. Jenkins."Do you hope all the kids you help will repay you someday?" I asked.She smiled. "I guess it depends on the person. But I don't expect anything from them. If I did, why would I be running a children's home?"I lost a child of my own, so I've always treated the children here like they were mine. What they do with their lives after they leave is up to them."Her gentle words gave me strength and eased the anxiety I'd been carrying ever since the bo

    After the agreement was signed, Ms. Jenkins asked cautiously, "Mr. Hatcher, we're building a library for the children, and the final payment is due soon. Could you give us part of the donation now?"Russell had clearly gotten carried away with throwing money around and nodded without hesitation. "Sure!"But when he tried to pay, his account balance came up as zero.The room went dead silent.I pretended to be surprised. "Oh, Mr. Hatcher. So you don't have any money left."Russell stared blankly at the screen, and I smiled.I'd already had Mr. Whitmore prepare the gift agreement. The last time I'd gone to see him was to sign it. The agreement was now legally binding, and everything under Shane Hatcher's name now belonged to me.Overnight, Audrey and Russell had lost everything.Audrey's eyes turned red, and her legs seemed to give out as she sank to the floor. She opened her mouth like she wanted to ask me for help, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it.Just the

    Russell was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed beside her, though he still had a tight grip on Audrey's hand.The moment I came into view on the livestream, Audrey jumped. She froze and reached for the phone to turn it off, but the commotion had already woken Russell.He was out of frame. The second he saw me, his eyes widened, and he sneered. "What are you doing here?"Before Audrey could end the livestream, Russell grabbed her. "What are you afraid of? We have the upper hand now. Besides, he did commit tax evasion. They'll find out sooner or later!"I raised an eyebrow, almost amused by how clueless he was. He hadn't had much of an education and had always lived in his own little world. He had no idea how things actually worked.As the person handling the company's finances, I normally would've been the one going to prison.But if Russell was the one who altered the numbers and the surveillance footage clearly proved it, then I was just an employee.Besides, other than the m

    One of the officers sighed. "Alright. We'll let the station know and come back to the hospital later to take your statement."Russell visibly relaxed and nodded over and over.When the reporters realized I wasn't going to say anything else, they looked disappointed.Audrey stared at me, her face tense. "So you really did know all along that I could switch the two of you."I smiled. "Of course I knew, and I'm going to make sure you both lose everything."Russell immediately tried to climb out of bed and come at me. But before his feet even hit the floor, he got dizzy and dropped to his knees right at my feet.I smirked down at him. "Wow. On your knees apologizing already? Too bad. You could beg me on your knees a hundred times, and I still wouldn't give you the time of day."Russell's eyes went red with rage. He tried to get back up and hit me, but Audrey grabbed him and held him back.The moment he realized she was stopping him, he snapped and shoved her away hard. "I knew it!

I wanted them to lose everything.One of the officers gestured impatiently toward the door. "The case is still under investigation. I understand you're worried about him, ma'am, but we won't accuse an innocent person. Don't worry."Audrey was smart, but Russell was an idiot.He panicked and grabbed her hand. "Audrey, you can't just leave me like this."There was a warning in his eyes, and his grip tightened around her hand until her face went pale.Audrey turned to the officers. "My husband is a well-known businessman, and there are reporters everywhere outside. You know how bad this will look if he goes with you like this."Can't you finish your

  • She Stole My Life for Him   Chapter 5

    When I walked into the hospital, Audrey stared at me in shock. She clearly hadn't expected me to have the nerve to come anywhere near her."Shane, you actually have the nerve to show up here?"My expression hardened. The whole thing felt almost laughable as I looked at her."Why? Am I not allowed to?"Russell glared at me from the hospital bed and scoffed. "You're already in enough trouble, and you still came here? You've got guts. I've never seen anyone come all the way here just to get humiliated!"Before he could finish, a crowd of reporters rushed into the room. The second they saw the man lying in the hospital bed, they all stopped short.Then they crowded around me, shoving microphones in my face."Mr. Walker, someone reported that you committed tax evasion while working in the company's finance department. Is that true?""Can you respond to the accusation directly? You work for a publicly traded company that Mr. Hatcher built from the ground up. It's a highly respected c
