Chapter 4

Author: Neon
”Mr. Henderson, I've been trying to meet with you, but your secretary always says you're unavailable. Running into you today must be fate."

"I'm the CEO of JackMiller Company. We'd like to explore overseas markets with you. Would you have time to discuss a partnership?" Jack said, trying to impress him.

Lucas Henderson ignored the business card Jack offered him, his eyes darting anxiously toward me.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing the numerous injuries on me and Evelyn, he stared at Jack with clenched fists that made cracking sounds.

Just as he finished speaking, an ambulance arrived and loaded both my mother-in-law and me inside.

Jack jogged over and waved to Annie, signaling her to come.

"These two are just homeless who took over my villa. They're not worth your concern—I was just getting rid of them.

"This is my wife, Annie Simmons. We've been working overseas together for several years."

Annie, seeing Lucas's handsome face, lowered her head shyly and kept adjusting her clothes.

    We went straight up and hit Wendy several times. A plainly dressed housekeeper came out of the house.I don't know what was going through Wendy's mind—such a large villa with hardly any servants. This made things very convenient for Jack and me.Jack dragged Wendy to the intersection as I followed closely behind them, feeling excited. The more severely he beat her, the less chance there would be of them rekindling their old relationship.Just as I was feeling smug, I realized we might have offended someone important.I had met the legendary Mr. Henderson before, but I had no idea that the old woman was his mother!Later, we were beaten by people who put sacks over our heads—it must have been Lucas who ordered it.But we didn't dare offend him.To save our company, Jack began frequently taking me to various social events.But that idiot Jack was secretly trying to contact Wendy behind my back.What a fool!

    "Wendy, what's wrong? Did you fall?"Under his worried gaze, I slowly held up the pregnancy test, while my other hand gently rubbed my stomach.“It’s all your fault!”Lucas looked at the two lines in disbelief, then his eyes lit up with overwhelming joy. He carefully carried me to the hospital.After a series of tests, the doctor confirmed I was two months pregnant."You don't need to be overly cautious. The baby is developing well. Just come in for monthly check-ups!"Lucas nodded, carefully noting this down before helping me walk out of the clinic.As we passed through the hospital lobby, we saw a stretcher being rushed through emergency."Make way! Clear the path! We have a patient with full-body infection!"Lucas held me protectively in his arms as I curiously glanced over. To my surprise, I recognized the person on the stretcher.Jack lay there with a flushed face, deliriously mumbling."I was wrong... please... I was really wrong! Give me one more chance... I want to b

    After a month in prison, Jack was rushed to the hospital with a severe fever.As soon as I heard, I sent the country's top burn specialists to treat him, sparing no expense.Three months later, doctors managed to take skin from his back and buttocks to cover the burned areas. His face, however, would never be the same again.After the treatment, he could speak again, though his voice sounded like a cracked bell.Eventually, he was approved for discharge.At the hospital, doctors told Jack that a kind person had saved him by paying his medical bills.He wondered who it could be until he saw me. That's when he finally understood.After everything that had happened, he no longer believed I would have any lingering feelings for him."You saved me? What do you really want?"I sat in my luxury car, admiring my freshly done manicure. Outside stood a monster covered in scars."You brought this all on yourself. So cherish it!"This is the price for abandoning me three years ago. Don'

    He looked at Annie in confusion. Given their current notoriety, they tried to stay indoors as much as possible.After all, those paparazzi were like cats stalking mice, following them around to capture any hint of scandal.Annie gripped the water bottle tightly in her hand and confronted Jack. "Where did you go this morning?"Jack didn't want Annie to know that I had humiliated him, so his eyes flickered uncomfortably. He scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously."I went to look for investors. I'm planning to start fresh here."Hearing his answer, Annie let out a bitter laugh and threw some photos in Jack's face."What's this? Are you planning to abandon me and run off with Wendy to live the good life?"She shouted angrily at Jack and slapped him hard across the face.Jack was stunned. He touched his cheek and stared at the photos in disbelief.Annie smiled faintly and tore the photos in half, tossing the pieces into the air.Jack held his face, angrily grabbing A

    This time I wasn't afraid of him anymore. I pointed to the security camera newly installed at the door."I haven't even settled the score for when you beat me last time. Are you looking to go to prison?"And I'm setting you up? Did I force you to kneel and bow to me?"I looked at him with contempt, strode past him, and walked to the trash can where I threw away my high heels that he had licked, replacing them with the flats I wore while driving.After closing the door, I watched through the video doorbell as Jack hurled angry insults before finally leaving in frustration.Evelyn came out to greet me when I returned. When she saw Jack, her eyes filled with disgust."Why don't you just call the police and let them handle him? It's disgusting that we have to deal with someone like him!"I took her arm reassuringly. "Mom, going to jail would be too easy for him. Once I'm done having my fun, I'll deal with him personally."The next day, Jack was trending on social media. Sharp-eyed

    "So, does that feel better now?"I smiled and threw myself into Lucas's arms. "It's alright. I only gave him a hard time today. The main event has yet to come."I glanced down at Jack and Annie being escorted out by security and smiled.Then I called the secretary's office. "Gather all the information about Jack's overseas finances and send it to our business partners."I was confident this would stop him from continuing his scams.Soon I heard that everyone was turning Jack away at the door. His charade was finally over.He already had significant debt overseas, and now he couldn't con any money locally either.Somehow he figured out I was the one who leaked the information, and he angrily came to wait for me at the mansion.I was returning home in my car, on a video call with my best friend."I will invest all the business deals you offered. Lucas gives me thirty thousand dollars a month as spending money, and I'm saving it all!"As I got out of the car, I watched Jack's ex
