My Mother Killed Me For Her Stepdaughter novel Chapter 20

As for the outcome, I had already anticipated it.

I had hired a private investigator who uncovered that while Evelynn was with my father, she had been two-timing him with one of her college classmates.

"What a pair of scumbags!"

I felt deeply sorry for my father, but he was even more distressed about what I had endured.

"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this," he said, his gaze filled with guilt as he looked at my scarred face, his expression growing darker by the second.

For a moment, I could sense a flicker of murderous intent in him. Worried he might do something reckless, I quickly said,

"Dad, the current evidence is enough to put Lucy and her family behind bars for over a decade."

"Let them live the rest of their lives in poverty and despair. That will hurt them far more than killing them."

Sometimes, there are fates worse than death. This kind of punishment—reducing them to nothing—was more direct and effective than ending their lives.

Evelynn's family loved money and dreamed of marrying into wealth?

Then I would make sure they were destitute for the rest of their lives, forever unable to rise again.

"What about Evelynn's lover?" I asked curiously.

She appeared pitiful, claiming she had loved Jack wholeheartedly, only to be cruelly cast aside once he had tired of her.

The mention of Torres Group sent the post viral, and within days, it was trending. Evelynn conveniently left out her own wrongdoings, instead showcasing a pregnancy report in her video. The result? An overwhelming wave of public condemnation directed at my father and me.

Countless uninformed netizens sympathized with her and pitied her plight. The public backlash caused Torres Group's reputation to take a sharp nosedive.

When my father found out, he laughed in rage.

"That woman actually dared to drag us into an online scandal?"
