Chapter 21
Coincidentally, Pamela saw a familiar silhouette walking out next to her as she walked out of the hospital. "Woody?"He had already vanished around a corner before she could take a closer look. She shook her head and muttered, "It couldn't be him."She had heard that a VIP had been admitted into one of the special wards. No one was allowed to go there. She figured she was just seeing things because of her exhaustion.As for the matter of Woody injuring her mother and brother, Pamela decided to settle scores with him after the charity banquet. After all, the development of the company is more important. The opportunity wouldn't last forever. She had to focus. She couldn't afford to be bothered by trivial matters. "Why are you here, Pamela? Are you unwell?" an old man carrying a bag of medication asked excitedly. He quickly removed his face mask.Pamela was still thinking about what had just happened. Hence, the man's sudden appearance surprised her. She replied, "Mr. Eva

"Isn't Shane around 60 years old? That's quite early for Alzheimer's disease, isn't it?"Pamela shrugged. "How would I know? Let's stop talking about him. I'm divorced. We're no longer related to them. There's no need for us to worry about him anymore.""Say, why hasn't Woody visited Shane yet?"Trudy's eyes lit up. "The Evanses are the only relatives he has in this city."Dickson chimed in, "Why else? He's embarrassed. He spent four years in jail and got divorced as soon as he got out. He's too ashamed to go back to them."Trudy was delighted, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions. "Pamela, I'll be fine with your dad here. You should head back. You need to focus on what's important." Pamela nodded. "Alright. I'll head back and make preparations. Call if you need me.""Alright, just go!" Trudy was getting impatient. As soon as Pamela left, Trudy got up from the bed. She said excitedly, "Dickson, this is our chance!""Since Shane is misremembering the dates and does

Woody was dumbfounded. The Evans family had moved? The woman explained, "A family of three used to live here. The man is a professor. He's the one that sold us the house."A professor. It had to be Shane!"When did this happen?" Woody asked anxiously. "Four years ago. Well, it hasn't been four years yet, to be specific. It'll be four years in a few more months. They sold the house in a hurry, so they didn't ask for much. I bought it because I thought the price was reasonable.""Do you know where they moved to?" The woman tried to remember. "I think they should be over at the Serenity Urban Village.""Are you sure?" Woody thought it was unlikely. He figured that with Shane's financial situation, he should be moving to a better neighborhood. Besides, he had already sold his old home. He would be able to afford a house in a higher-end neighborhood."I went by that area once and happened to notice them." The woman was sure she remembered correctly. She sounded very convincing.

"Thanks for all the work you've done and the money you've spent. You can leave the rest to us!" Shane said excitedly. The excitement on his face was clear. He really wanted Woody to get out of jail as soon as possible.Dickson and Trudy were delighted to hear that. That meant Shane had some money on hand. Their trip here wasn't for nothing."How much do you need?" Mindy asked cautiously. Mindy was different from Shane. She was just a regular housewife with a normal education. She rarely got the chance to interact with different people and matters. So, she wasn't really knowledgeable. That was why Dickson and Trudy looked down on them. Shane had Alzheimer's disease, and Mindy was oblivious. It was a piece of cake to fool them both. Trudy declared without a second thought, "100 thousand dollars."Dickson was taken aback. He quickly gave Trudy a look. They had agreed to ask for 50 thousand dollars on the way here. Why did she suddenly double the amount? What if that amoun

Mindy quickly replied, "Please don't be angry. I didn't mean that. Why would I ever doubt your sincerity? You're Woody's in-laws. You definitely have his best interest at heart."Of course, I want Woody to be released as soon as possible. Even one day would be great. I apologize if my words offended you. Please don't hold it against an ignorant old woman like me."Shane raised his hand and cut Mindy off. He said seriously, "We have to come up with this money."Trudy and Dickson glanced at each other. They were overjoyed. They had succeeded.A hundred thousand dollars was quite a lot of money. They considered this money the first bit of interest they would be getting back from Woody. They planned to get more from him in the future."But where will we get that much money?" Mindy asked. Shane said firmly, "If we don't have enough, we'll borrow some. Call our relatives, friends, and colleagues. There's Sasha, too. Ask her to think of something. We'll definitely be able to scrape tog

Shane picked up his phone to make the call. "Hello, Mr. Jett, I need to borrow some money. It's an emergency. I need the money before noon. Is that possible?""How much do you need?" the man asked.Shane thought for a while and said, "70 thousand dollars.""No problem. Since you're a returning customer, you know the rules. You'll get 90% of that amount, and you'll have to pay 130% of that amount in full. Come over now and sign the contract. You'll get the money right after you sign."Shane nodded. "No problem. Thanks, Mr. Jett. I'll head over now."Trudy and Dickson had sly expressions on their faces. They were delighted. "We'll go with you. Have him deposit the money straight into my account. Your house is too smelly. I can't stay here for a moment longer. I won't wait here for you."Trudy wanted to do that because she was afraid that something might derail her plans. Since Shane was the one signing the contract, the debt would have nothing to do with her. Shane agreed wit

His wife asked for a divorce because all she wanted was money, power, and status. His brother-in-law was an ingrate. He came to Woody's door along with Woody's mother-in-law. The two of them were like thugs, utterly disrespectful, and kept asking for money. Woody thought Dickson would be a reasonable person. He didn't expect him to be the same as the rest of them. In fact, he might even be worse. It was like the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together"."Do they need a reason to scam you of your money?" Woody said coldly. He was utterly disappointed by the Yorks.He wondered if he was too naive back then or if they were just too good at putting up appearances. He never realized what terrible people they were. Trudy glared at Woody as her temper flared up. She stomped her foot, pointed at Woody, and yelled, "You're talking nonsense! That's slander. You're framing me!"You conspired with that bitch to attack me and Brutus. Now, my whole body hurts! And my poor son. He's

Woody's eyes were terrifying. Trudy and Dickson were scared. Their faces paled, and they started to tremble. It was like they could see mountains of dead bodies through his cold eyes filled with blood lust. It was as if Death itself was staring into their souls. Back then, the lawyer told Woody that the Yorks worked hard and got the victim to issue a letter of forgiveness. That way, there was a chance for him to get a lighter sentence. If that were the case, then the Yorks would've been the good guys. Woody's sacrifice would've been worth it. After all, Shane was just a lecturer. Teaching was the only thing he knew how to do. Meanwhile, developing and maintaining connections would require skill. That was something Shane was bad at. Who would've thought that the letter of forgiveness was acquired through Shane's money, which he scraped together by selling his house and borrowing from loan sharks? Dickson felt a chill down his spine. He could no longer take the pressure and

Mindy went up to Dickson and stopped him. "Let's talk things out. There's no need for violence.""Get out of the way, you old beggar!" Dickson pushed Mindy to the ground and continued rushing toward Woody with his fists in the air.Woody kicked him in the stomach and caused him to fly several feet away. He fell on his face. "How dare you hit my husband. I'll kill you!" Trudy rushed over. Woody frowned. Then, he yelled, "Get out!" Trudy was terrified. Her legs gave way, and she slumped to the ground. Dickson was scared, too. Both of them helped each other up and ran away with their tails between their legs. Only after they were out of the house did they start to feel at ease. As she was running away, Trudy yelled, "Woody, you freeloading scum. Just wait. I'll definitely crush you!" Shane helped Mindy up and sighed. "Woody, couldn't you just talk things out with them? Why did you have to escalate things like that? There's no turning back from this.""It is what it is."

The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the yard. Woody's arms remained open awkwardly. He looked at her in disbelief. Shane and Mindy were shocked, too. They didn't expect Sasha to do that and were caught completely off guard. Honestly, Woody would have dodged the slap with ease. Even a dozen special forces soldiers couldn't touch him, much less a young woman like Sasha. He wanted to deny the reality even when the slap landed on his face. He couldn't imagine why the cute little girl who used to admire him and follow him around would slap him.They weren't blood-related siblings, but they were as close as any siblings could be. He figured it was because she had great hopes for him that caused her disappointment to be even greater. He used to be an outstanding person. It was normal for Sasha to admire him like any other girl. No one expected him to become a convict and get imprisoned for four whole years. Her admiration naturally turned into disappointment—extreme disap
