Events proved her wrong. The Blackwood family’s company faced a deficit. Someone used Clara and Leo’s lives to threaten the Blackwood family. And so, Leo was in a car accident. Kevin, frantic, rushed to the hospital, desperate to save his wife and child. But
during the blood transfusion, he discovered that he and Clara couldn’t possibly have a child with that blood type.
What a ridiculous joke.
“Tell me! Whose child is this?!” Kevin raged, almost tearing his hair out.
Clara lay on the hospital bed, still recovering from the impact of the car accident. Startled by Kevin’s outburst, her tears streamed
down her face like broken pearls. She explained, terrified, “Kevin, what are you saying? Leo is of course your child! Why don’t you
believe me?!”
Clara thought she could feign helplessness as she always did, and get away with it. But no man would be careless about somethi-
ng like this. He trusted science more than he trusted Clara.
“You cheated on me!”
“I knew something was wrong with all that missing money! You were using it to support another man outside!”
“You wretched woman!” Kevin’s brutal slap sent Clara tumbling to the floor. Clara lay pathetically on the floor, still making one last
desperate plea. “Believe me, Kevin! I didn’t!”
Then prove it! Go get a paternity test.”
I admired Clara’s mindset, her incredible psychological fortitude. But remembering her declaration of war against me, I decided I
didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire. I anonymously sent Clara’s transaction records to Kevin. Kevin had been on the verge of believi-
ng Clara, but one message sent her crashing back into hell.
“Then tell me, who is this man?!”
“All these years, the money I gave you, you spent it on this man, didn’t you?”
“You’re truly despicable.” Kevin grew angrier with each word. He felt utterly disgraced, especially when he saw me. He couldn’t
resist, backhanding Clara again.
Clara finally snapped. “And what if I did?!”
