Taking the Fall for His Illegal Driving Chapter 8
With everything settled, my life returned to normal.Vanessa was ultimately sentenced to eight or nine years. Even if she behaved well in prison and got parole, she would still have to serve six or seven years.I never expected to see her again.Since her imprisonment, my small company had gained tremendous attention. Whether out of sympathy or admiration for how I handled the whole affair, the company's market value soared. Netizens playfully called me 'Alpha Ex-Husband' and praised me as a straightforward man, staying loyal to a wife like that for so many years. I just smiled and let it be, focusing solely on my own affairs.At first, my father was not very confident in my small start-up, but after the company's performance improved, he invested in it. The business grew bigger, and so did my wealth.A few years later, Ryan chose to end his own life in the hospital. The final conclusion was despair due to injury. He was orphaned and already impoverished. After becoming paraly

Ryan did not manage to escape in the end. In his panic and unfamiliarity with the layout of my villa, he jumped from the second floor, not onto the lawn, but onto marble tiles, shattering his leg on impact. As he collapsed, the edge of a flowerbed struck the back of his neck.By the time the police arrived, Ryan lay on the ground, motionless, only letting out faint groans of pain."Ryan!"Vanessa cried out, trying to rush forward to check on him, but the police held her back and escorted her away.I watched the police urgently tending to Ryan's injuries, but all I could think was that he could not die in my house. Otherwise, I would have to move. What terrible luck that would be.Fortunately, he survived, but the doctors said the situation was critical. Surgery was urgent, and there was a real risk of full paralysis.Even before the operation, while he was still conscious, the first thing he did was curse at Vanessa and me."Lucas! This is all your fault! I've ended up like this

Vanessa finally realized her mistakes, but it was too late.I did not say a word as I watched her being handcuffed and escorted away by the police.Once she realized she could be facing years behind bars, panic set in. She spilt everything in the interrogation room, trying to lessen her sentence.It turned out she had never expected Ryan to actually hit someone. She just wanted him to have his fun. However, when the accident happened, she could not think of any other solution. That was why she planned for me to take the fall.Vanessa's scheme was calculated to the last detail. She expected I would not get out, so she planned to manipulate public opinion online to force my family to pay her off. Then, she wanted to divorce me, walk away with a huge payout and half of my assets, and run off with Ryan. Judging from the hotel records, their illicit affair had been going on for a year and a half.She had long stopped loving me. Our marriage had been dead for some time.Of course, I wa

I looked at Vanessa's face and felt nothing but unfamiliarity."Vanessa, you and Ryan are already messing around behind my back, yet you still have the nerve to question me?! I'll do whatever I want. Why should I confess to a crime I didn't commit? Who do you think you are to control me?! We're getting divorced anyway!"As my tone grew louder, fear flashed across her face, and she hurried to soothe me."It's just because of Ryan! From now on, I'll keep my distance from him, as long as you take the blame for him properly!"I stared at her pleading face. After a long silence, I suddenly nodded.Vanessa froze for a moment, then a flash of wild joy crossed her face.I ignored her. I slowly pulled out my phone and pressed play."As long as you take the blame for Ryan..."Her face stiffened, then she instantly turned pale.Her eyes widened as she lunged forward to grab my phone. I kicked her to the ground."Stay the hell away from me!"I pushed open the hallway doors and walked st

Ryan took two of my punches before blood started gushing from his nose. I knew Muay Thai, and I had not even held back much. Even though I avoided vital areas, it was enough to make him miserable.He cried out in pain, struggling helplessly against me. The difference in our strength was obvious. I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him to the ground, clenching my fist for another strike."Lucas! Are you crazy?!"Vanessa covered her face, came to her senses, and threw herself at me, screaming that I was insane. I shot back at her without holding back."Crazy?! Vanessa, the crazy one here is you! You posted that video clearing Ryan's name, even though I didn't do anything! You'd do something like this for his sake?! Aren't we supposed to be husband and wife?! You're just hoping I rot in prison so you can run off with him, huh?!"As I spoke, I pulled out my phone and showed her the trending video. Vanessa froze for a moment. Her expression immediately faltered."I-I just wanted t

"Look, there he is! Lucas! The heir of Zane Corporation!"I slowly wiped the egg off my face, frowning and forcing down the urge to vomit. I took in the furious crowd surrounding me."How dare you show your face out here! How did you even get out? Who pulled strings for you?!""Rich kids' lives are just different. Who else would show up at the police station wearing a watch worth ninety thousand dollars?!""Give us an explanation! Why aren't you being detained?!"The crowd pressed closer, demanding answers. They tore into me. My hair, my clothes, and my appearance were all the proof they needed to label me a villain.I was stunned by the barrage of shouts and insults. After a moment, I remembered something. I pulled out my phone, which the police officers had confiscated earlier, and opened social media. Sure enough, the story had gone viral, topping the local trending charts.[Rich Heir Hits Ordinary Citizen and Flees the Scene!]Shock and anger boiled inside me. I did not eve
