He was sentenced to life imprisonment. When the judgment was announced in court, he was still trying to defend himself and cried out pitifully to my mom, ”Olivia,I’m sorry.Save me.”
Leaning on Nathan’s shoulder,I watched his pathetic pleas.Everyone pays for their actions—no one escapes justice.
As the judge ruled,we left.I held Nathan’s hand.”“I’ve been so busy these days that I’ve neglected you. Come on, I will take you to relax.”
He smiled.”How?”
I teased his chin.”Adult-style relaxing.”
I took him to a bar, and we didn’t get back until the middle of the night. While holding his hand, I told him, “I like you so much. You were so miserable. You went bankrupt while trying to deal with that scumbag. But I was even more miserable. I died. Wuwuwu.”
He carried me down the street.”I’ll keep you safe.”
I sniffled on his back.”He’s paid the price now. You’re right—I’m awesome.He’s locked up for good.”
The next day after being drunk, my head felt like it was going to explode. Nathan slept beside me,peaceful.
I pounced,poking his long lashes.”Wake up,Piggy Nathan.”
He opened his eyes,pulling me down.”Don’t make a noise. Let’s sleep a bit longer.”
With perfect weather,I played lazy.
I noticed Sarah tailing me for days,waiting for me to be alone.
I walked into an alley, and she followed me in, with several men behind her.
Her eyes gleamed with malice.”Claire Harper, you’ve finally fallen into my hands.”
I wagged a finger.”Wrong.I’m not Claire Harper—I’m Claire West.”
I’d changed my name,ditching Harper.
She choked.”You screwing with me?Get her!”
Several tall men rushed towards me. But she never expected that I had a secret weapon.
I pointed behind them.”Look who’s there.”
Burly bodyguards blocked the alley.
Did she think I wouldn’t hire protection? Moreover, I wasn’t some weakling either.
I drew my service pistol.”Freeze.”
The men immediately put down their knives, raised their hands, and begged for mercy. “It was all this woman who hired us.”
Sarah panicked,voice shaking.”If you don’t attack,none of us escape!”
They hesitated,then lunged.
I I signaled the bodyguards not to hold back. They beat the men until they were screaming and their faces were black and blue.
After all of them were subdued, I walked over and kicked each of them a few times, and then handcuffed them one by one.
She screamed,”Let go!I’ll sue you,Claire!”
I whispered,”Thanks for picking a spot with no cameras.”
Her face twisted in fear,pleading.”Claire,please,let me go.”
After the Investigation, Sarah was not only suspected of kidnapping but also abandoned her son. She was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Police notified her rural parents,who took the baby.
On the day of the sentencing, her parents were holding the baby and crying as they frantically beat her.
She stood expressionless,taking the hits.
Time flew.Nathan and I married simply—no extravagant ceremony.
For exposing Dad,I earned my bosses’respect and now led my own cases.
Mom grew West Enterprises into a powerhouse,becoming a renowned tycoon.
Nathan and I are very busy with our work, but we will always set aside time to go on trips and experience the beauty of life.
