Over two decades of waiting, and it all turned out to be a cruel joke.


    Seizing her chance, Wendy unleashed a fury of blows upon ine right there and then.


    When ine emerged from the apartment building once more, she was the picture of misery.


    She contemted her options.


    “Might as well be dead,” she thought.


    But then again, why should she die? To make way for that homewrecker?


    No, she couldn''t die. She needed to make Hancock pay. She wanted to see him ruined, his


    reputation in tatters.


    As a doctor, he needed not only medical ethics but also morality and character.


    Having been Hancock''s wife for so many years, ine knew plenty of his dirty little secrets.


    Nothing earth-shattering.


    But certainly enough to ensure he''d never recover.


    Upon returning home, ine organized the incriminating information she had, ready to hand it over


    to Hancock''s rivals.


    That was when Hancock came back.


    Looking at Hancock who had shared her bed for over twenty years, ine felt a stir of emotion.


    She thought to herself, “If Hancock were to kneel before her with tears in his eyes begging for


    forgiveness, maybe she''d give him another chance.”


    But he didn''t.


    Instead of showing remorse, Hancock pped her hard across the face, "You wretch. Why go after


    Wendy? Do you have any idea how much you''ve frightened Carl? You harlot. If anything happens to


    Carl, I swear I''ll make you pay."


    With those words, Hancock turned and left without a backward nce.


    He was sick of ine.


    At fifty-six, no matter how well she took care of herself, she couldn''tpete with the twenty-three-


    year-old Wendy.


    Especially since Wendy had given him a son.


    ine watched Hancock walk away,ughing bitterly, "Well done, Hancock. That p was perfect.


    You couldn''t have done it better."


    That p severed all the emotional ties of the past two decades.


    Without hesitation, ine sent the information she had gathered to Hancock''spetitors.


    Retribution, after all, was swift.


    The next day, Hancock''s affair was the talk of the town. At the hospital, he was treated like a pariah,


    with everyone shunning him.


    And that wasn''t all, he was exposed for inting medical bills and harassing female patients.


    Once the news broke, he was swiftly dismissed from his position.


    Not to mention, he was facing a slew ofwsuits from patients'' families.


    Just when ine was relishing Hancock''s downfall, another piece of news shattered her world.


    Sallie had been detained.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    And it seemed likely that she''d be convicted.


    These sudden cmities devastated the family. ine''s hair turned white overnight as she


    withdrew all her savings, determined to bail out Sallie at any cost.


    In just two days, ine aged what seemed like twenty years. She let go of all the house help,


    mortgaged the vi and other properties, moving from a luxurious mansion to a gloomy, sunless


    basement.


    The morning calmness of the Yeager family was shattered by a sudden knock at the door.


    Vanessa walked over to answer it, "Who is it? What''s with the early disturbance?"


    As she opened the door, she was met by several police officers.


    Vanessa''s sleepiness vanished in an instant, "Good morning, officers. How can I help you?"


    "Are you rtives of Saul Yeager? Saul is a suspect in a fraud case and we need him toe with


    us for questioning."
