Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1425

"This was what my mother looked like before she died. His affairs and domestic violence drove her into a severe depression that eventually killed her."

Click, click, click—

The reporters held up their cameras, snapping endlessly.

The woman in the photo was emaciated, her face covered in bruises and scars.

Before her passing, her eyes were severely sunken.

She looked entirely devoid of hope, a sight that made everyone's heart heavy.

"This file contains evidence of all the illegal activities he committed."

Luella swiped her finger, slowly turning the pages.

The evidence wasn't just text; it included horrific photos of the victims.

It was shocking to witness.

"A murderer, a political criminal, a violent abuser..." Luella's pale lips trembled slightly as she suppressed her emotions, speaking calmly. "Shouldn't he be in prison?"

The crowd exchanged glances, entirely speechless.

She was absolutely right.

"And as for my so-called stepmother and stepsister..." Luella continued. "They got arrested strictly because they brought it upon themselves."

"I didn't send them to prison. They did that on their own."

"There's no one else left in the family, which is why my half-brother came to seek refuge with me."

Seek refuge?

The reporters looked at each other, finding the situation bizarre.

His father, mother, and biological sister were all arrested, and the younger brother wasn't angry?

That wasn't normal!

Could Luella be making things up just to save face?

"Ms. Langley, would it be possible for us to hear your brother's thoughts?"

Spoken like true paparazzi—always possessed with the sharpest instincts for picking bones out of an egg.

"No."

Luella's gaze turned instantly freezing as she flatly refused. "My brother is still young. He does not do media interviews."

Ruining her life was enough; now they wanted to ruin her brother's too?
