Chapter 210 As Sally looked at it , she felt only overwhelming panic and frenzy . " From the very beginning , she had sensed Aidan's murderous intent toward her . Falling into that man's hands would surely mean a gruesome death . At this thought , she cried out urgently , " I'm already married to Connor ! You can't treat me like this ! I'm part of the Ladner Family now ! Besides , it was you who attacked Susan ! " " I never said anything before . It was your own decision to target Susan . What does that have to do with me ? You can't drag me into all this . If you want to blame someone , blame yourselves . If you want to die , go die yourselves! " & Sally declared without hesitation . Facing imminent death , she no longer felt the need to pretend . < Yet no matter what she said , my father and Aidan remained utterly cold . Their gaze upon her was as if they were looking at a corpse . My father waved his hand toward the door . The next second , bodyguards burst in and dragged Sally out of the office . At that time , Aidan and my father stood rooted to the spot , like trees with their hearts hollowed out . In the days that followed , no one saw Sally again . It was as if she had vanished without a trace from that day onward . Aidan and my father began to keep themselves busy from the very next day . They searched for news of me while simultaneously managing the various crises erupting within the company . After Carter Enterprise withdrew its investment , Sherman Corporation's other partners followed suit without hesitation . On top of that , scandals involving Aidan and my father were frequently surfacing online . Every action they had taken against me was laid bare for all to see . Such inhumanity toward their own daughter and sister was chilling to anyone who witnessed it . } After their true colors were exposed , Aidan and my father offered no explanation online . Instead , they simply and decisively acknowledged the truth of those reports . Since no one reported the crimes to the police and because they had always paid their hired thugs in cash , those who harmed me had yet to be caught . Thanks to those thugs , Aidan and my father have temporarily escaped legal punishment . " However , while the law couldn't punish them for now , society would . Everyone began boycotting Sherman Corporation's products . As a result , no one was willing to partner with the company anymore . " The Sherman Corporation managed to hang on for just one more month under Aidan and my father's support . After that month , as their secretary watched on with a heavy heart , the company finally declared bankruptcy . *** After leaving the villa , I watched the raging fire behind me and felt an overwhelming sense of relief . From this moment onward , I severed all ties with the past , casting them into the flames before me to be consumed entirely . " I pulled out my phone and sent my current location to Jack . I knew he would handle erasing all traces of me and send someone to find me . " I might not know if my father and brother would ever come looking for me again , but I was certain of this thing : I didn't want this family anymore . I didn't want any of these so - called family members either . Of course , Jack didn't disappoint me . Soon , the people he sent arrived at my side . Seeing me covered in splattered blood , wounds scattered across my body and scorch marks on the hem of my skirt , the driver's expression didn't waver . He remained utterly professional . After getting into the car , I watched the familiar scenery outside the window recede behind us , just as my unbearable past life was being left behind .
