---- Leave us alone." Samuel froze. In that moment, his face seemed to crack like porcelain, revealing the helpless terror of a man who had lost his last lifeline. I then called for security. 'If you see this man near the estate again, throw him out-every single time!" After that, Samuel was kicked out abruptly, like a stray dog. Soon after, the court proceedings began. Samuel was sentenced to several years for corporate crimes, while Monica faced heavy fines for defamation and cyberbullying. Gossip traveled even to prison, where Samuel's actions were equally despised. He was tormented behind the scenes and fell seriously ill shortly after his arrival. I heard he was now a shadow of his former self. ---- All of Monica's assets were frozen, but they still could not cover the damage. She became a debtor defaulter, and her son had to withdraw from his elite private school. After transferring to a regular school, Milo was constantly targeted by rumors and gossip due to the widely publicized scandal. Gradually, his psychology became increasingly twisted, and he blamed everything on his mother. He screamed hysterically, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation! It is all because of your vanity! It is all your fault!" "Milo, I did it all for you! I honestly believed Samuel was a genuine entrepreneur. I just used our past relationship to seduce him. If we could have secured our position, we would have had incredible wealth. How could I have known..." "Stop using me as an excuse! Do you have any idea what they say about me at school? They call me the child of a mistress, a sewer rat! Everyone looks ---- at me with contempt. When I try to talk to them, they avoid me like garbage!" Milo's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was contorted. He looked at his mother as if she were his worst enemy. "It's all your fault! If you had not become a mistress, I would not be suffering like this!" Monica listened to her son's bitter accusations with tears streaming down her face. In the next moment, a metallic glint reflected in the depths of her pupils. "It's your fault! It is all your fault!" Hot blood trickled down the knife handle. Monica called out one last time with tears in her eyes, "Milo..." When I heard the news, Kaylee and I were vacationing on an exotic sunny island. ---- Thad already promised my daughter that I would never marry again. Instead, I would continue my family's legacy by expanding the business further before eventually passing it into her capable hands.
