System Unbound: The Scum Mom's Bitter Regret Chapter 11
“Grandma,” I said, “do you remember something you once said to my dad?”She froze for a moment.“You said, ‘If you were even half as sensible as Sean, you would not have ended up like this.’”Her lips trembled, but no sound came out.“Now Sean is in prison,” I said with a faint smile. “Do you think he turned out sensible enough?”Grandma collapsed onto the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.I did not help her up.Grandpa never came looking for me. He had always been a dignified man. Even if he hated me, he would never lower himself to beg me.That was fine.I had the villa sold, the place where my dad once knelt, was beaten, and humiliated. Every cent from the sale was donated to a child protection foundation.As for Tyson, after Sean was arrested, he was sent back to his biological mother.I learned later that Tyson was not Sean and my mother’s child. He was Sean’s son with his ex‑wife. My mother had only raised him for three years.When my mom found out, she said nothing.Sh

“What you are saying is fake.” Sean shot to his feet so fast that his chair toppled backward. “You forged all of it.”“Whether it is fake or not, the police will verify it.” I pressed a button on my phone and dialed a number. “Hello, you may come in now.”The doors of the conference room opened, and officers from the economic crimes division walked in.“Sean Jones, you are suspected of embezzlement, abuse of power, bribery, and multiple other charges. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation.”When Sean was taken away, he turned back to look at me.That look carried hatred, fear, and confusion.He still did not understand how an eight‑year‑old child had endured until today.I did not look at him.My gaze drifted to the person sitting in the corner of the room.My mother.I did not know when she arrived. She sat in the last row wearing a gray coat. Most of her hair was streaked with white.Ten years apart, she had aged more than a decade.She watched as Sean

Sean’s hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.After that day, I started setting everything in motion.Over the past ten years, Everdusk Group looked prosperous on the surface. Under Sean’s control, it was already rotting from within.He did not know how to run a company. He only knew power games. All the senior executives were his people. Nepotism ran deep, and corruption ate through the structure.Everything was buried. Outsiders could not see it.Sean thought no one would ever find out.He was not my father.My father took Everdusk from debt to IPO in three years through real ability. Sean kept it afloat for ten years by draining what my father built.That foundation was nearly gone.I started small. I used a few insignificant projects and quietly accumulated Everdusk shares on the secondary market through offshore entities.At the same time, I had people gather everything on Sean over the years. Financial fraud, kickbacks, related‑party transactions, and embezzleme

I lived in that house like an optional piece of furniture.No one asked whether I had eaten, whether I had finished my homework, or whether I was happy.I did not care.I knew my father was watching me from another world. I could not let him down.Uncle Dylan came to see me once a month. He took me out for good food and talked with me. He managed the trust fund according to my father’s will.The money kept growing like a seed taking root in the soil.The year I turned eleven, Uncle Dylan helped me process my study‑abroad documents.When my mother signed them, she did not look up.“Where to?”“England.”“Okay.”She signed and went back to staring at my dad’s photo.The day I left, no one came to see me off.Sean was busy with a board meeting. Grandma played mahjong, and Grandpa stayed in his study. My mother stayed in her room and never came out.I stood at the entrance of the villa with my suitcase and looked back.The house was big and beautiful, but it was never my hom

It was because I knew.He was not dead.He had gone home.On the day of the funeral, many people came.Grandpa and Grandma did not. Sean did not either.My mother stood in front of the headstone, dressed in black, looking as if someone had hollowed her out from the inside.Uncle Dylan stood beside me with his hand resting on my shoulder.“Before your father left, he made arrangements for everything,” Dylan said in a low voice.I stayed silent.I stared at the photo on the headstone. Dad was smiling. It was the same warm smile he always had.“Jayden.” My mother walked over and crouched in front of me. Her eyes were red‑rimmed. “Come home with me, okay?”I looked at her.Her face was just as beautiful as before. I could not feel any warmth from it anymore.“Okay,” I replied.I knew the things Dad left for me still needed time.When we got home, Sean sat in the living room with the baby in his arms.The moment he saw us walk in, he stood up with a smile.“Miley, you are b

He tightened his grip on my hand.“Do not be afraid.”That night, Uncle Dylan came with news.The people who kidnapped my father had been caught. It was Sean’s doing.Sean feared my father would stay in the house and threaten his position. He feared my mother might soften toward him. He decided to get rid of my father altogether.He planned to send him to Southeast Asia, never to return.As for me, the original plan was to put me on a flight abroad, but the destination was not a school. It was a boarding institution that did not even have a name.Did my mother know?I had no idea. Perhaps she did not, or maybe she knew and allowed it.…Uncle Dylan said the evidence was ready, but he asked my father whether he wanted to call the police.My father stayed silent for a long time.“Not yet.”His tone was calm. It was so calm that it sent a chill through me.The next morning, my mother came to the hospital.She came alone, still in yesterday’s gown, makeup not removed, with d
