บททั้งหมดของ A Rich Man's Crime: Face My Wrath: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

On the day my daughter was discharged from hospital, the man who assadulted her was acquitted due to lack of evidence.In the media footage, Cedric Sutton—the man who ruined my daughter's future—smiled hypocritically. He looked exactly like the sanctimonious fraud he was."Justice rests in the hearts of people. I believe that everyone is no stranger to gold-diggers like Mia Carson. Though, if she truly were in need of money, I wouldn't be unwilling to help, haha..."The truth was, our family had never taken a single penny from him.…The day after, Mimi's engagement was called off. Her fiancé didn't hesitate to break things off.His exact words were, "Now that you're no longer pure, do you think... I'd still want you?""You could've been a great scholar, yet you chose to do such unspeakable things. Pah, how shameless! If my son were to marry you, it would surely bring us misfortune.""I've known from the very beginning that you weren't a decent girl. You stink of the vixen you are."Su

The migrant worker looked humble and honest.Upon learning the purpose of my visit, however, his expression took a drastic turn. He repeatedly denied ever stepping out that night, and his wife chimed in to back him up. She was adamant that her husband had been with her the entire night.But he was my last sliver of hope.I dropped to my knees and begged him for his help.In response, he, too, got onto his knees. Bowing down to the floor, he pleaded, "Ma'am, please don't make things harder for me than it is. I have over a dozen mouths at home to feed. There's really nothing I can do to help you. I'm broke to the core!"…Back at the police station, I shook my head again."There's nothing," I helplessly replied, my voice shaky. "There's nothing left."The officer taking notes heaved out a sigh and handed me a glass of water."I understand where you're coming from, but this sounds like it could be either a big case or a small one. You're accusing someone of serious violation and illegal o

All of a sudden, a sharp, grating noise echoed through the confined space.A pale hand clawed at the cracks in the bricks, inching out from behind the curtain."Ms. Lawson, hurry. Get out of here."A strange creature—or rather, half of it—crawled toward me with difficulty. She called my name as she closed in on me, her hair disheveled.Seeing me frozen in place, she tipped her head up at me and smiled. "It's me."Her face was split open from the corners of her mouth. Half her tongue hung out of her oral cavity, and her cheeks were sunken. Yet, I recognized her.It was Rose Langston, an ex-student of mine. She was also Mimi's best friend.At that moment, I instantly understood why my usually obedient daughter had persisted in dealing with those two deranged men. All despite my disapproval."You... Why..."I wanted to ask her, "Why are you here?" or "Why have you ended up like this?"But neither of those phrases rolled off the tip of my tongue. I couldn't bring myself to, faced with this

Since everyone deemed me mad, I showed them what madness was!"Pah!" I spat out a bloodied, mangled piece of flesh onto the ground. Kieran clutched his bleeding ear in shock, nearly passing out."Surely you won't hold a grudge against a madwoman, hm? Consider it compensation for all you've done." I grinned at him, baring my blood-stained teeth.……Three days after the trial, Mr. Grant slipped into my home under the cover of night, avoiding everyone's eyes.The first thing he said when we met was, "I know everything you said is true."He pulled out a plastic storage bag from one of his sleeves. "I found this in the factory. Forensic analysis confirmed that it is Rose Langston's left pinky finger.""Then why didn't you say anything at the time?""I believe you're well aware of how influential Cedric Sutton is."He had a point. They could make black look white—what proof would a little finger be?"We have managed to identify some of Cedric's clients and linked them to missing persons case

I lay on the ground like a dying dog. My eyes rested on Mimi, and I no longer struggled.Applause erupted from the audience below, celebrating the impressive performance.Cedric raised a hand and, without hesitation, slapped Mimi hard across the face.Instantly, her cheek swelled up."You're not included in this."Mimi obediently knelt on the ground, allowing Cedric to step on her head.I scrambled to my feet, driven mad by the temptation to rush over and kill him.Yet, the chains held me back. I crashed heavily back onto the ground.But it was thanks to that that I noticed something.We weren't on land; it was a ship under our feet.I just felt it sway ever so slightly.There was still a chance—as long as we could jump off the ship.……Cedric presented a mission for Mimi—to kill me.He stood aside, amusement brimming from his eyes.Dagger in hand, Mimi approached with steady steps. Just as the blade struck a beautiful arc in the air, her hand suddenly turned in a different direction.
