A Rich Man's Crime: Face My Wrath Chapter 9
I lay on the ground like a dying dog. My eyes rested on Mimi, and I no longer struggled.Applause erupted from the audience below, celebrating the impressive performance.Cedric raised a hand and, without hesitation, slapped Mimi hard across the face.Instantly, her cheek swelled up."You're not included in this."Mimi obediently knelt on the ground, allowing Cedric to step on her head.I scrambled to my feet, driven mad by the temptation to rush over and kill him.Yet, the chains held me back. I crashed heavily back onto the ground.But it was thanks to that that I noticed something.We weren't on land; it was a ship under our feet.I just felt it sway ever so slightly.There was still a chance—as long as we could jump off the ship.17Cedric presented a mission for Mimi—to kill me.He stood aside, amusement brimming from his eyes.Dagger in hand, Mimi approached with steady steps. Just as the blade struck a beautiful arc in the air, her hand suddenly turned in a differ

Days after days went by, yet no actions were taken.My heart bled for my daughter as I watched her condition slowly deteriorate.Even as she lay hooked up to a drip, she still tried to comfort me."Mom, I'm feeling much better already. My appetite's good, too!"Why don't you go get some of those dumplings we always used to eat together? I'm hungry."…When I returned, I found Mr. Grant seated by Mimi's bedside."Mimi is..."With a gentle shake of my head, I replied, "Courtesy of Cedric Sutton."Mr. Grant heaved a sigh and placed a hand on my shoulder. "About what we've previously discussed, I still hope you'll reconsider. Another person has now gone missing."Mimi gave us a sweet smile that squinted her eyes as she chomped down on the dumplings.But as she chewed, her teeth kept falling out uncontrollably.In a light and distant voice, she said, "Mom, if I die, promise me you won't be sad."15I barged into Kieran's house and slapped him hard across the face."Mimi is dy

Since everyone deemed me mad, I showed them what madness was!"Pah!" I spat out a bloodied, mangled piece of flesh onto the ground. Kieran clutched his bleeding ear in shock, nearly passing out."Surely you won't hold a grudge against a madwoman, hm? Consider it compensation for all you've done." I grinned at him, baring my blood-stained teeth.12Three days after the trial, Mr. Grant slipped into my home under the cover of night, avoiding everyone's eyes.The first thing he said when we met was, "I know everything you said is true."He pulled out a plastic storage bag from one of his sleeves. "I found this in the factory. Forensic analysis confirmed that it is Rose Langston's left pinky finger.""Then why didn't you say anything at the time?""I believe you're well aware of how influential Cedric Sutton is."He had a point. They could make black look white—what proof would a little finger be?"We have managed to identify some of Cedric's clients and linked them to missing pe

"Is that so?" The captain dismissed his subordinates and immediately raised the bowl to his lips. A long swig from it later, he asked, "But why do I feel like this is pork?""The meat is pork; the rest is not so certain."Hearing this, Mr. Grant picked up a piece of bone from the ground and inspected it closely.It didn't take very long for his expression to darken. "Sheila Lawson, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder."I took a step backward and turned to face him squarely. "Mr. Grant, you're an experienced investigator. I trust you would be able to determine the time of death.""What do you mean?""This is what I managed to retrieve from the factory under Cedric Sutton's nightclub. There wasn't just one, but countless bodies there. In fact, my student Rose Langston died at his hands.""I'm sure you're aware, but it's impossible to charge him with this alone.""What if I have direct evidence?"As the tension built, Mr. Grant received a phone call. After hanging up, he sp

All of a sudden, a sharp, grating noise echoed through the confined space.A pale hand clawed at the cracks in the bricks, inching out from behind the curtain."Ms. Lawson, hurry. Get out of here."A strange creature—or rather, half of it—crawled toward me with difficulty. She called my name as she closed in on me, her hair disheveled.Seeing me frozen in place, she tipped her head up at me and smiled. "It's me."Her face was split open from the corners of her mouth. Half her tongue hung out of her oral cavity, and her cheeks were sunken. Yet, I recognized her.It was Rose Langston, an ex-student of mine. She was also Mimi's best friend.At that moment, I instantly understood why my usually obedient daughter had persisted in dealing with those two deranged men. All despite my disapproval."You... Why..."I wanted to ask her, "Why are you here?" or "Why have you ended up like this?"But neither of those phrases rolled off the tip of my tongue. I couldn't bring myself to, faced

8Allow me to rewind to the day Mimi attempted suicide.The baby girl I had carried for nine months was now lying like a puppet on a hospital bed. My daughter, who should have been enjoying her youth on campus, was instead being threatened by others.Anger and regret formed a concoction that swirled inside me.Thinking back, it seemed to have all started when Kieran deliberately introduced Mimi to Cedric.There was no way Kieran was completely oblivious to what Cedric had done.Under the cover of night, I sneaked into Kieran's house, drugged him, and tied him up.When he woke up and saw me, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. His voice quivered as he protested, "I may have broken off the engagement, but does that warrant tying me up?"I asked, "Is that all you did? Breaking off the engagement?"What did you do to Mimi? Or maybe it wasn't just you."He stammered, scrambling for lies to cover things up."I'm just an ordinary guy! What could I have done? I didn't want Mia

The migrant worker looked humble and honest.Upon learning the purpose of my visit, however, his expression took a drastic turn. He repeatedly denied ever stepping out that night, and his wife chimed in to back him up. She was adamant that her husband had been with her the entire night.But he was my last sliver of hope.I dropped to my knees and begged him for his help.In response, he, too, got onto his knees. Bowing down to the floor, he pleaded, "Ma'am, please don't make things harder for me than it is. I have over a dozen mouths at home to feed. There's really nothing I can do to help you. I'm broke to the core!"…Back at the police station, I shook my head again."There's nothing," I helplessly replied, my voice shaky. "There's nothing left."The officer taking notes heaved out a sigh and handed me a glass of water."I understand where you're coming from, but this sounds like it could be either a big case or a small one. You're accusing someone of serious violation and

Nearly a month's worth of surveillance footage was intact—yet there was nothing for the night of Mimi's incident!The alley was spotless, as if it had been deep cleaned. There was not a single sign of struggle, no trace of blood.I collapsed onto the ground. "Why isn't it here? What happened to the footage from that night?""Ma'am, the camera happened to have malfunctioned that day. Right, I've shown you everything; there's nothing else to see. Would you let me get back to work now?"Was it really just a coincidence...Thinking of Mimi's fragile face, I screwed my eyes shut with agony.Why was this happening to us? Every step felt like we were being forced further into a dead end.At 11:00 pm, I returned to the ward with a smile plastered on my face.As soon as I entered, I saw Mimi cowering at the head of the bed like a frightened bird. Her eyes were fixed on the door, unblinking.When I walked further in, a faint rustling came from behind the door.It sounded like clothes b
