Chapter 210 D Third Person's POV Enraged , Denton stormed into Melanie's apartment . " She was lounging on the couch , watching TV with a face mask on , completely relaxed . But the moment she saw his enraged face , a flicker of panic crossed her eyes , too quick for most to notice . " Denton ? Wh - what are you doing here ? " He didn't answer . He marched over , grabbed her wrist , and flung her onto the sofa with such force she bounced against the cushions . " Where's the money ?! The three hundred million , where did it go ?! " he roared , his voice shaking with fury and disbelief . " What the hell did you do with it ?! " } Melanie immediately slipped into her well - practiced act , tears , trembling lips , and the look of a betrayed saint . " " Denton … what are you talking about ? " she sniffled , her eyes already glistening . " How can you even say that ? I'm carrying your child ! I'm a mother now . Of course , I want to make sure our baby has everything . I used the money to buy properties around the world for our child's future , and set up a health fund and an education trust . Do you think I was just out spending it all on myself ? " Her words wavered , as if every sentence cost her another piece of dignity . Denton looked at her , torn . She sounded so sincere , and when she mentioned the baby , his resolve wavered . He had already lost Mick ; he didn't want to hurt another child . Not again . " " Are you telling the truth ? " he asked , voice slightly softer , though doubt still clouded his eyes . " " Of course it's true ! " she cried , her expression full of emotion . " I have nothing left except you . After everything we've been through , do you really think I'd lie to you ? " " His mind teetered on the edge . The old him would've given in by now , as he used to fall for her tears without hesitation . But too much had happened . His trust in everything and everyone had shattered . " Especially after Mick's death . If Melanie hadn't kept whispering poison in his ear , convincing him that Mick might not be his son , he never would've turned so cold toward the boy .

" When the report landed on his desk , the truth hit him like a freight train . Every dollar of the $ 30 $ 300 million had been traced , and not a single transaction matched the " real estate , " " trust funds , " or " education trust " she claimed . " Most of it had been transferred into multiple anonymous accounts via the dark web , while the rest was spent on luxury goods , jewelry , designer clothes , and memberships to exclusive private clubs , & But that wasn't even the worst of it . " Attached to the report were records of her payments to online troll farms , fake accounts , and bots hired to smear Sadie's name , spread lies , and flood the internet with fabricated rumors . There were also screenshots of chat logs and direct transfers listed in it . " It turned out his " pure , innocent first love " had been deceiving him from the start , manipulating him , using him , dragging him deeper and deeper into ruin . \ Denton slumped into his chair , clutching his throbbing head . He felt like a complete fool , a puppet twisted around a woman's finger . He then began reexamining everything he thought he knew about her .

He lost his trust in Sadie , turned into a monster to his own child , and eventually lost Mick forever . " The more he thought about it , the more his skin crawled . She was a devil in disguise , a carefully packaged lie , a snake dressed in white . LI lania 4 2/2 80.8 % After that reevaluation , he finally made up his mind .
