From then on, Antonio no longer came to pester her.

The next time Alyssa read news about Antonio was on the morning news.
The last time Roxie’s and Antonio’s names appeared in the news was because of their extramarital affair.
This time, it was related to an intentional homicide case.
After being expelled from the Kaufman family, Roxie was scorned and humiliated. Consumed by hatred, she disguised herself as a cleaner, stealthily entered Antonio’s house, and stabbed him multiple times out of
revenge.
Antonio fought back desperately, and in the violent struggle, the two fatally wounded each other.
In the end, Antonio succumbed to excessive blood loss and passed away despite the rescue efforts. Roxie managed to survive but was rushed to the ICU for emergency treatment. She was left in a vegetative state.
As the police launched their investigation, the surveillance footage from the Kaufman’s house was made public.
In the living room, Roxie was seen sitting on Antonio’s lap. She raised a knife and plunged it ferociously into his abdomen.
As she stabbed, she screamed, “It’s all you! It’s all your fault!
“If you hadn’t offered me that chance, I wouldn’t have had an affair with you, wouldn’t have ended up in this miserable state, and Grace wouldn’t have died!

our sins!”
As soon as this video was exposed, netizens commented on Grace’s cause, unanimously declaring it as karma catching up with the wrongdoers.
Meanwhile, Alyssa sat in front of the TV, looking like a mere onlooker. There was not a single flicker of emotion in her heart.
“What are you looking at?”
Before Ethan could even get close, Alyssa flung herself into his arms, as if that was the way that she could seek true comfort.
In reality, she wasn’t heartless. Instead, she had long seen through the true nature of the situation.
She had extended numerous chances to Roxie. Roxie could have easily achieved herself, just like Sophia, by relying on the plans and resources Alyssa had provided.
But Roxie had refused. She was averse to hard work and only wanted to take the easy way out.
Alyssa knew that Roxie’s current show of remorse was nothing but
crocodile tears.
Roxie had experienced that the life of a wealthy man’s mistress was a dead–end road. Now, isolated and desperate, she was trying to make a last–ditch effort to win everyone’s sympathy and rehabilitate her public image.
Nevertheless, Alyssa was not going to be fooled again.
Alyssa took a bite of the strawberry that Ethan fed her and said, “Nothing.”

After Tyrell, the illegitimate son of the Kaufman family, took power, he brought Kelly back home from Atkina.
Kelly initially thought it was an act of kindness. However, within a few days, she was drugged and ended up in the bed of Tyrell’s business
partner.
This partner was not only unattractive but also old enough to be her father.
Kelly, who had always been proud, couldn’t bear the shock when she woke up. In a fit of despair, she jumped from the top floor of the hotel.
Rena was heartbroken after both of her children died. She stormed into the partner’s office and attacked him with a knife.
At that moment, Tyrell’s business partner was in the middle of signing a contract with Tyrell. Somehow, Rena summoned extraordinary strength and kicked Tyrell until he lost consciousness.
When the police arrived, the office carpet was soaked in blood.
On the day she was sentenced to life imprisonment, Rena smashed her head against the prison wall and died instantly.
Witnessing the people who had been a part of Alyssa’s life for so long now reduced to tombstones, Alyssa was deeply shaken.
The doorbell rang, and the servant rushed over.
“Madam, there’s a woman outside the door. She says she’s your biological mother and wishes to see you.”

Alyssa didn’t immediately let her in. After a few seconds of thought, she got up from the sofa.
“Good girl, just sit here,” Ethan said as he gently carried her back to the sofa.
