Chapter 462


    The thought rooted itself firmly in her mind, and it became her obsession. Not too longter, she put her


    n into action, and it worked. For five years, nobody suspected her. The longer it went, the safer she


    thought she was. Even if the cops were to investigate, they would have no way to find any evidence.


    She thought she was safe. She thought she had gotten what she wanted without paying any price, but


    fate had something different in store for her. Her crime was not exposed by her family or the cops, but


    by the doctor who was supposed to treat Harvey. She even said she could heal him.


    Obesity caused by hormone pill overdose was irreversible, or so she thought. Even if she was unlucky


    enough to be found out, the irreversibility of Harvey''s condition meant her son would still be heir to the


    family. She still would have been sessful in getting what she wanted. Once he became heir, yton


    would have no choice but to keep her crimes a secret, and she would be safe.


    But fate yed a trick on her. Not only was her crime discovered, but Harvey could also be cured. She


    paid the price only to get nothing in the end. Regret filled her heart, but it was not because of her


    actions. It was because she shouldn''t have married yton.


    The Bakers and Walker Family were friends. Not long after Harvey''s mother died, the Bakers made a


    wrong decision and bankrupted the family. The Walker Family could save them, but it would cost them


    a lot. They refused to do it, so the Baker couple begged her to marry yton.

    At that time, yton was already a father of one while she was single. She had never had a


    rtionship before. Before her family went broke, she thought she would marry a man from a simr


    economic and social background, but fate just loved to prank her. Her family went bankrupt, and they


    moved from a vi to a rental. One moment, they were billionaires, but the next, they were deep in


    debt.


    A few months of being poor almost drove her mad. She agreed to her parents'' n, and with their help,


    she managed to sleep with a drunk yton.


    Her parents and yton''s parents were great friends. Despite the fact the Bakers were broke, the


    Walker couple never looked down on her. After they found out she slept with their son, they convinced


    yton to marry her.


    yton came to see her. He said he could marry her, but only if she treated Harvey as her own and


    everything the Walker Family had would belong to Harvey. Her children would not be allowed to work at


    thepany, but he would give them money to open up a business. What they did with their business


    was their affair. The Walker Family would not help them.


    In other words, her children would have no right to inherit the Walker Family''s wealth. Everything the


    Walker Family had belonged to Harvey.


    Twenty years had passed, but she still could remember the look on yton''s face when he told her


    that. There had been no room for negotiation. If she wished to marry him, then she must ept the


    terms, or he would never marry her.


    At that time, life was a living hell for her. Poverty was hell for her. Her whole family was living in a dingy


    house that measured about eleven hundred square feet. She had to work during the day and do all the


    chores at night. Yelena never did a day of chores in her life before. Ever since her family went broke,


    she had to deal with office shenanigans, chores, and her parents'' outbursts.


    She wanted to kill herself, so she agreed to the terms right away. The right to inherit was something


    she didn''t consider back then.


    Even if her children had no right to inherit the family wealth, yton did promise to provide them with


    funds to build a business. The little he could give her was already enough to make her life better. Most


    importantly, if she married him, she could ditch the dingy house and move into a vi. She could go


    around in expensive cars and have servants tend to her needs. No longer did she have to work or do


    any chores. Back then, marrying yton was redemption.


    But as the days went by, she started thinking that she had an unfair deal. She thought she was thedy


    of the house. Everything around the house was under her control. She felt she contributed more to the


    family than Harvey''s mother ever could. So why does Harvey get everything the family has, while my


    son only gets some seed funds?


    Anger and avarice struck her heart, and she made a move on Harvey. If her crimes remained a secret,


    her son would sessfully take over the family, while she would stay thedy of the house for life. But


    s, life didn''t go as she wanted, and she regretted that.


    She shouldn''t have married yton for his wealth. Yes, she did have everything—a big house,


    expensive cars, and servants catering to her every demand after she married him, but she didn''t have


    love. yton never loved her. The ones he loved were Harvey and Harvey''ste mother.


    Yelena thought she should have married a man she loved. Life would have been a lot better then. She


    wouldn''t have to get jealous over a dead woman, but time could never be turned back. It was toote


    for regrets. She stared at yton with reddened eyes as she roared her dissatisfaction at him.


    But all she gained was a stink-eye from her husband.


    Once she was done venting, yton said coldly, "You and your parents set me up. You made me sleep


    with you, then they held me hostage because our families are longtime friends. They made me marry


    you. I looked into your background. You never dated anyone or hooked up with any guy, so I was


    willing to do it, but I specifically said everything the family has belongs to Harvey. I can raise your


    children, but they are not allowed to fight for the inheritance."


    yton stared into Yelena''s eyes. "You promised. I drafted an agreement for it, and you signed it and


    even stamped it. Nobody forced you into this. If you didn''t want the deal, then you could have said no


    to the marriage. Yelena, I did everything a husband should. I never cheated on you, and yet you


    sabotaged my son." He whipped his phone out and called the cops.


    Yelena''s eyes went wide with shock. She pounced on him and snatched his phone away. "What are


    you doing? You promised you wouldn''t call the cops!"
