My daughter accidentally scratched my husband's young mistress's face with her nails. For that, my husband had her fingers chopped off. Covered in blood, she came home seeking help, only to be assaulted by an intruder. I called my husband, crying, but his mistress's sweet voice answered the phone. "Stop using these lowly tricks to get Jack's attention. All you're doing is making him sick!" I begged my husband to take my call, but all I got in return was a barrage of insults. "Nothing is more important than Yvonne's face! I'm busy taking her to the hospital! I don't have time for your drama!" Later, my daughter's organs were removed by the intruder. Even in death, she was still tightly holding onto the birthday gift she had prepared for her father. My husband, a top lawyer, personally defended the criminal who assaulted our daughter. He let that man walk away scot-free after what he had done. On the day he celebrated his birthday with all our relatives, he finally knew that our daughter had died. He completely lost his mind.

Chapter 2
Jack was not surprised to see me in the hospital. He was busy with a cotton swab and iodine, cleaning Yvonne's cut. He simply glanced at me before he snapped, "Where's Cindy hiding? Do you really think you can keep her safe? I'll make you give up soon."Jack was so mad that he pressed too hard, and Yvonne let out a little hiss of pain."If she won't come and say sorry, then it's her own fault for what happens next," Jack growled."These fingers are just the right size. I need them for a special necklace that's supposed to bring luck. So, I'm taking this one," Yvonne said, holding up a finger.I was shaking all over, unsure if it was because of anger or fear. I scrambled over to Yvonne."Give my daughter's fingers back!"Yvonne jumped when she saw me crawling over. She kicked me in the face and hid in Jack's arms.Jack frowned down at me. "It's been hours. It's too late to fix her fingers now. What's the point of giving them to Yvonne?"I'll get Cindy a fake hand later. Don't

Chapter 3
Jack sent me away from the hospital like I was worthless, and he made sure to give me a warning. "In two weeks, Cindy has to apologize to everyone at my birthday party, or else I'll show you the consequences of being her mother." I held onto the watch in my hand so tightly it almost hurt. My daughter had been looking forward to Jack's birthday party even more than he was.She had planned his birthday present for three months, saving her entire allowance for a year to buy a fancy watch. Every morning, she would ask me with big hopeful eyes, "Do you think Daddy will like my gift? If he likes the watch, maybe he won't hate me anymore." My heart hurt every time she asked. I had hoped that the birthday party would bring our family closer together. However, my daughter was gone now. All my hopes and dreams were dashed.Holding my daughter's tiny urn, I was filled with regret. If only I had gone against my father's wishes and not agreed to the arranged marriage with Jack. Woul

Chapter 4
Jack saw me and did not even seem surprised.He frowned a little, looking at me like I was something on the bottom of his shoe."You followed me all the way here? You sure don't give up. But I'm not here to play games with you today. I'm here to defend Yvonne's brother in court."It felt like my whole body was being ripped apart, and a huge weight crushed my chest so much that I could not breathe."Do you even know who you're helping? He's a killer! He's the one who took our daughter from us!"I yelled as loud as I could, hoping to reach whatever was left of Jack's heart.Jack just scrunched his eyebrows and looked down at me."Back to your sad stories? Is it about our daughter again?"I tried to smile through the pain, bending over and begging."Please... I'm begging you. Take any case you want, but not this one. Please."I was lowering myself so much, desperately begging Jack for mercy.I knew we would never stand a chance if Jack took the case."You can divorce me and ta

Chapter 5
Seeing Jack's shocked expression, I felt like both laughing and crying.He was scared too now?He turned to his assistant with an accusing look, and said, "Did Amelia bribe you as well? How much did she pay you to deceive me like this?"The assistant sighed, a mix of helplessness and disappointment in his eyes. He had been by the president's side for so many years. Without a word, he turned and walked away from the grand villa. However, as the door swung open, he was met by a crowd of relatives who had come to celebrate Jack's birthday. They glanced at Jack and Yvonne, their eyes showing a flicker of scorn. Jack felt his heart race."Why are you all staring at me like that? Has Amelia paid you all off to act like this to me?" Jack blurted out.The relatives looked at Jack with even more scorn. "Everyone knows about the day you cut off Cindy's fingers. It was all over the news. That was the day Cindy died. Stop pretending you're innocent,” Jack's uncle said, his voice heavy wit

Chapter 6
A week passed before I saw Jack again. He was standing in the rain outside the big house, hunched over and looking sad."Please let me see you one more time. I want to apologize to my daughter... Can I please look at her picture?" he begged.He looked different from when I last saw him. His suit, which used to fit him perfectly, now hung loose on his body. His eyes were dark and sunken, and he looked like he had lost all his energy.I watched from the doorway, not bothering to offer him an umbrella or even say a word. I just looked at him, standing there all miserably.However, my just coming out to see him seemed to make him so happy."Please forgive me! I made a mistake. Any guy could make that mistake, but I swear I won't do it again," he said."I can make things right. I can get a nice place for our daughter to rest, and we can have another child if you stay with me," he continued."I know I really messed up. I've cut Yvonne out of my life. From now on, I just want to be wit

Chapter 7
Jack put all the proof he had online, and it caused a huge stir. The news that a famous actress had hurt her boyfriend's daughter quickly shot to the top of the trending list. People from all over started calling out Yvonne, holding nothing back.[She's the worst! Not only is she the other woman, but she also went after Amelia's kid. She deserves the worst punishment.][Jack's no better, hurting his own daughter just to make his girlfriend happy. That's crazy. He shouldn't even be a dad. It would be better if he was gone.] [I'm so sick of Yvonne pretending to be innocent. Can someone please teach her a lesson?]At first, some of Yvonne's die-hard fans tried to defend her, but she did not even come out to apologize, which made things worse for her. The police were looking into it now, and millions of people were watching her every move.Yvonne had no way to prove she was innocent anymore. All she could do was wait for the many years of prison that were coming.I thought every

Chapter 8
She did not care that Jack was hurt. She just shook his arm like crazy.Jack did not even try to look at her. He just gave a harsh, mean smile."You should've died with my daughter..."That sentence hit Yvonne like a lightning bolt, and she started laughing like she had lost her mind."Hahaha! I've known you since I was fifteen. Our weird relationship has gone on for almost 10 years. You were going to marry me, yet you're telling me to die now?"You monster! I've had nearly 10 abortions because of you. I can't have kids anymore, yet now you want to dump me!"Alright... Let's both die!"Yvonne lunged at him, and they started fighting like wildcats.Even though Jack was hurt, Yvonne was so skinny that she quickly got the worst of it.Jack's grip on her neck turned her face whiter than a ghost’s.I did not jump in to stop them. I just quietly called the cops as I watched Yvonne's life slip away.After Yvonne was gone, Jack acted like he wanted a medal, bowing low in front of me
