“Then Mommy and Daddy have to sleep together tonight too, okay? Leo will supervise you both.” The child’s innocent voice rang
out.
Kevin’s expression didn’t change at all; if anything, he smiled even wider. “Of course! We’re a family, so we’ll naturally sleep togeth-
er.” Kevin’s lips curved into a smile, his gaze fixed intently on Clara. Clara’s face flushed. She feigned a playful scold. “The child’s still here! What are you saying?”
Kevin pulled Clara into a fierce embrace, dropping a kiss on her cheek. “What does it matter? Aren’t I just speaking the truth? You‘
te my wife. What’s wrong with that?”
Wife? A bitter, desolate smile twisted my lips. Clara is your wife, then what about me? Kevin had lied to me for five whole years! I
trembled with rage.
“Once I take everything from the Vance family, I’ll formally bring you and Leo into our home. I’ll give you everything I have.” Kevin
looked at Clara, his voice dripping with affection.
Everything from the Vance family? My fists clenched uncontrollably, my nails digging into my flesh until crimson blood welled and dripped. The man I had loved for five years had been using me from the very beginning. And he wanted to destroy everything I held
dear. It was utterly pathetic.
“Sophia, in the third year of your marriage, Clara crippled your hands. She knew what you cherished most. And after my car accide- nt… my legs were crippled too. I became a useless invalid. I couldn’t even avenge you. I truly was useless.” Olivia said, her voice
filled with bitter self–reproach.
Olivia forced a wry smile. My nose stung. “It’s all my fault. I was a terrible judge of character. I brought ruin upon our family. I won’t
make that mistake again, Olivia.” I hugged Olivia tightly, my eyes blazing with a fierce, burning hatred.
I would make them pay.
