The next day, a news story that could ruin a man was trending.
The headline “#Heartless Ungrateful Son Condones Fiancée in Driving Father to Death#” was instantly pushed to the top by netizens.
This period happened to be crucial for the White family’s IPO. As soon as the news broke, those business partners who were friendly with Kevin’s father started canceling their contracts one after another.
What’s even more interesting is that the once thriving White family was suddenly declared bankrupt, and Linda walked away with all the assets and shares to start a new company.

Kevin was completely booted out.
Overnight, the once haughty aristocratic young master became a penniless pauper buried in
debt.
And my little scandal had already been forgotten in the sea of gossip.
Kevin knew I was behind it all, so he came to confront me the day after his company went bankrupt.
“Lisa, who gave you the nerve to scheme against me… It’s all because of you, you scum, that I lost Linda and everything I had. I’m going to kill you.”

This replay of the past was truly revolting.
“I don’t think you’ll ever get the chance to kill me, but you do have time to repent in jail.”
I pointed behind him at the police who had just
arrived at the scene.
Kevin was right about one thing: I’m not as cunning as Linda.
Fearful that Kevin would relentlessly fight her for the assets, Linda struck first.
She actively reported Kevin’s crimes to the police, lacing his father’s heart medication with sleeping pills, causing him to never wake up
again.

When I learned of this news, I felt a chill down
my spine.
I had heard about Linda’s deeds before and
thought she was evil through and through.
But I forgot that only people with similar interests would get together.
So what good is Kevin, a man who killed his own father with his own hands, deserving of
hell?
Considering Kevin’s father’s health condition, Kevin was only sentenced to three years in
prison.
During this time, I quietly transferred Kevin’s mother to a specialist hospital, and she can now

recognize people.
But whenever she mentions Kevin, her teeth grit in hatred.
“That monster actually ganged up with an outsider to kill his father with anger. If I see him again, I’ll kill him.”
Kevin’s mother looked at me with a face full of
grievances and suddenly her expression turned
terrified.
It was Kevin; he had been released from prison early, and with him was the man who had put him in jail.
Yet, the two were inseparable, looking deeply in
love.

“Mom, if you really kill me, who do you expect to support you, her?”
Kevin was strong, and he almost crushed my
scapula.
“Since you’re here, I’ll be leaving now.”
After his stint in jail, Kevin’s face had changed,
now etched with bitterness and meanness.
I instinctively tried to avoid him, but the man. persistently grabbed my arm.
“Lisa, we’re not done settling our scores yet. Where do you think you’re going?”
Kevin, somehow having picked up smoking,

blew a cloud of revolting smoke in my face, making me gag with disgust.
“Kevin, you need leverage to threaten someone. Do you really think you stand a chance against
me now?”
In just two years, I’d swiftly taken over the family business and, single–handedly, propelled the Corporation to the pinnacle of the upper
echelons of commerce.
I doubted Kevin’s casual remark could shake
that.
But suddenly, a triumphant gleam entered the man’s eyes, and he looked at me with a sinister
smile.

“Lisa, if I can’t touch you directly, I can always go after those close to you. Or do you think
you’re that good at hiding your precious Logan?”
Lisa held up her phone and played a video in front of me. It contained the painful moans of a
man.
In that instant, my blood boiled. My right fist clenched so tightly it felt ready to punch his face
the next second.
But I refrained from doing so, not out of softness
but because it wouldn’t benefit Logan in the slightest. It might even provoke Kevin further.
He’s a madman, capable of anything when he
loses his mind.

Logan.”
