The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 858

Mrs. Mercer stared at them with icy disdain.

“It's obvious none of you belong in high society, or you would have known James's true colors long ago instead of getting played.

“Let me spell it out for you. You want to have his kids? Be my guest. Pop out as many as you want—it's not my problem anymore. He's been hauled off to the police station, and there's no bail for at least two weeks.

“You were all just screaming about how much you love him. Well, if you love him so much, empty your own pockets to get him out. But good luck squeezing another penny out of him.

“In fact, every dollar he spent on you is likely embezzled. The authorities have every right to track down those stolen funds and confiscate them right out of your manicured hands.”

Leaving the terrified women behind, Mrs. Mercer turned and walked away. Strangely, the suffocating weight in her chest had vanished, replaced by an intoxicating sense of liberation.

Compared to these pathetic women, at least she still had the power to protect her own wealth. She couldn't help but marvel at her father's brilliant foresight.

Before the wedding, he had forced James to sign an ironclad prenup. If he hadn't, James's reckless affairs and endless trail of bastard children would have bled the Yeager family dry.

Hans met her gaze with a casual shrug.

“Mr. Everhart did this to help you. He wanted you to see exactly what kind of man James is. We knew you suspected things, but seeing it is another matter entirely.

“Mr. Everhart was worried you'd keep getting conned and end up dragging yourself down with him.”

Seeing Hans's indifferent expression, she scoffed coldly. “Don't paint your boss as some noble savior. Do you think I'm blind to his real motives?

“He sent you to show me this so I wouldn't bail James out.

“With James utterly destroyed, Hawthorne eliminates his biggest rival in Greenvale. From then on, the Everhart family rules the city unchecked.
