“After Jack died, I spoke again. I wanted those who killed him to pay the price. Think about what I said to you. You should be more worried about yourself now.”
Gabriel was shocked: “What did you say?!”
I smiled coldly with satisfaction: “Gabriel Curtis, your retribution is coming soon. Save your tears for then. I’m sorry I won’t be able to see it all in person.”
I shook him off and turned to leave with large strides.
Gabriel walked out of the airport in a daze, immediately receiving over a dozen calls from the company.
Investors withdrawing funds, suppliers canceling cooperation, core employees leaving en masse…
The company’s stock plummeted, and the capital chain broke.
The Curtis family went bankrupt. In one day, their vast empire rapidly collapsed.
Assets were frozen, houses were seized.
Mrs. Curtis suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from the shock of the family’s sudden changes and couldn’t be saved.
The Curtis relatives scattered like monkeys when a tree falls, taking away all the assets they could, dividing up the Curtis family’s wealth.
Gabriel could only temporarily live in a rented apartment, penniless and burdened with huge debts.
All the words I had once said came true one by one.
The Curtis family was ruined.
Gabriel struggled at the bottom of society for the rest of his life, often hounded by debt collectors.
He remained alone for life. One time, he passed out drunk outside and was eaten by a pack of stray dogs.
Lily was lucky to survive Gabriel’s attack, but her face was left with ugly scars.
After spending all her money on medical treatment and plastic surgery, she lived by being a mistress to rich old men.
She was often caught and beaten. After going through several men, she decided to seize the opportunity to improve her status by having a
child.
But the man’s wife came from a powerful family. When the affair was exposed, the man kicked her and the child out before the month of confinement was over.
Lily could only get a small living allowance each month, not enough to live on.
To survive, she had to continue relying on men, selling her body. The latter half of her life was extremely miserable.
When she was in the late stages of cancer and kicked out by her child to die in the snow, she remembered what Arla had once said.

When she was in the late stages of cancer and kicked out by her child to die in the snow, she remembered what Aria had once said.
“You’ll never have a proper status for the rest of your life. You’ll always be the shameful other woman.”
Her hollow eyes shed tears as she froze to death in the night.
As for me, I donated the divorce settlement to charity, praying for my two children.
Later, I devoted myself to volunteer teaching, gradually healing myself through interactions with children and finding my life’s purpose.
