Joe picked up the papers from the floor with trembling hands and read them sheet after sheet. Mandy gripped the wheelchair handles so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She saw her daughter’s jerking shoulders and patted her. The papers that Kelly had thrown were countless photocopied sets, so almost everyone there could get one to themselves. As they went through the DNA test report and the injury assessment reports, they threw despising and abhorring glances at Nelly and Joe. “Hypocrites!” “Despicable!” Everyone hit the man who was down—Nelly and Joe stood rooted pathetically like they were tied to the gallows. “Dad, you probably don’t know how Nelly has been bullying me all these years, huh?” Kelly asked shakily, “Hah, or did you know and give your silent permission for her to do it?” “No, no!” Joe panicked. “Kelly, you’re my daughter too. Even though you’re sick, I’ve never thought of giving up on you, right?” “Don’t touch my daughter!” Mandy pushed him away resentfully and pointed at him. “You aren’t worth being a father at all. You don’t even deserve to be a man!” “Mandy!” “Dad, don’t mind them!” Nelly supported him. “Hah, you want to defeat me with just these things? Dream on! “If I, Nelly Tanner, is defeated so easily, then—” “Then what?” A loud voice rang suddenly. Nelly froze as she saw Linda walking over slowly. She did not look too good, but each step of hers was strong and firm. Linda had her eyes on Nelly, the fire in them capable of burning a hole through the latter. Cordelia hurried over to put an arm around her shoulder. “I’m okay.” Linda smiled at her and looked at Nelly with a cold smirk. “I’d love to see how indestructible you are!” Nicholas waved a hand, prompting a few bodyguards to pin Nelly on the floor. “What are you doing!?” Nelly screamed hysterically, “Let me go! Let go of me!” Linda said softly, “Cordelia, I told you that I’m going to avenge the loss of my child myself. Be my witness today!” “Linda, w-what do you want!?” Nelly struggled for her life. “Don’t come near me!” Linda took a metal rod from the bodyguard unhurriedly and weighed it in her hand in anticipation. “Do you know how painful it is to lose the child in your womb?” She sneered. “That baby hadn’t even stayed in my womb for six months!” “N-No…” Nelly cried, “Look for the person who killed your child! I-It’s… Mona! She seduced your husband and caused this!” Linda did not listen to her nonsense and swung the rod down on Nelly’s stomach. Nelly screamed, feeling like her bones were being disassembled. “That child… was induced from my womb by the doctor!” Linda’s eyes went red. “Do you know how much it hurts!? “It hurts more than this! “My heart hurts more than this!” Linda swung the steel rod on Nelly’s stomach over and over again. The latter’s blood-curdling cries resonated in the hall, giving the crowd goosebumps. Nelly was down shortly, lying limp on the floor like a boneless mess. Linda swung the rod up again, but a voice stopped her. “Mrs. Thompson!” Mandy’s gaze was pleading. Linda paused and lowered her arm slowly.

for both families to become in-laws since they matched in status. His expression and tone when he said that and how pathetic he looked now were like two different people. Zephyr snickered. “Mr. Tanner, are you admitting what you’ve done so fast?” “You…” Joe looked up slowly and could not help shuddering when he met Zephyr’s deep eyes. Zephyr produced the evidence of his illegal land transaction. “Mr. Tanner, still recognize these?” Joe felt choked like he was going to pass out from how hard it was to breathe. “You privately sold small plots of land out to rake in huge profits taking advantage of the western suburbs’

scum society for you, Chief Sheridan!” Thomas looked at Zephyr and Cordelia, greeting them politely. He could not help smirking when he saw Joe kneeling on the floor. “I’ve been wanting to look into Joe Tanner for some time! “Thank you for taking control of the situation first, Mr. Thompson!” Thomas said with a smile, “I’ve brought the arrest warrant too. I’m sure something valuable will come out of the interrogation when he’s
