Even after getting the evidence, I put off contacting the police.This was not enough.This amount of evidence was only going to put Julius in jail at most.Brienne and her son were still going to get away with it.I had to collect more evidence.Around the evening, I received a text from Julius.[Dear, I took some money from the safe. We need some funds to sort out some cash flow issues at the school.][Don't worry. I will get the money back before you know it. You must be depressed about Candy’s passing. You should prioritize resting at home.]I found the text absurd.How have I never realized how much of a scumbag Julius was?Did he truly assume I would not know he had taken the money so he could pay off Brienne’s debt?I’ll show him! He’s going to regret taking the money!The watch he wore was fitted with a GPS.At first, I bought it for him because I was concerned about his safety. It was coming in quite handy now.Perhaps this was Candy's spirit in heaven helping me
Julius and the others were taken to the police station.After the police verified the facts with the degenerate who killed Candy, they detained Julius.That man had admitted it was Julius who paid him to watch over Candy. Brienne, on the other hand, was only penalized with a fine. Then she was allowed to leave.I knew she would be released. That was why I made a point of playing the video on the projector screen in the cafe.Even if I could not put her in prison, I was not going to let her and Ronald get away scot-free.I wanted them to be humiliated!Sure enough, the video in the cafe went viral online the very next day.Everyone rained insults on Brienne after watching the video.Some even managed to dox her and find out where she lived. They hung banners over her house, slandering her for being a mistress and a home wrecker.Brienne and Ronald's lives were severely impacted by this.They were afraid to step outside the house. Furthermore, her debt collectors were houndin
Due to the intense mounting pressure, the competition organizer had to step forward to explain.He claimed Julius had given him a handsome bribe to tamper with the results before giving his word that the competition would be redone on a scheduled date.Prirose University had also withdrawn the offer letter they had given to Ronald.Meanwhile, Julius’ reputation was in complete ruin. The high school operations had been suspended and put under investigation.I’m sure he never imagined his life would be ruined because he tried to help Brienne and Roland.However, I could not understand his reasoning behind this. Was it worth helping an outsider over his daughter?Why would he go to such lengths for them?That evening, Brienne started a livestream.Her eyes staring into the camera were puffy and red.“It was Julius who forced me into this. I never meant to be a home wrecker.“Three years ago, he contacted me and said he wanted to rekindle an old flame. When I turned him down, h
She had underestimated what I was capable of.If she had not provoked me like this, I would not have found out she was also involved in Candy’s murder or enlisted the help of my friend, who was a private detective.I briefly explained my situation to her.With that, she launched an investigation for me.In half a month, she managed to dig up everything.As it turned out, that degenerate was a hooligan from Brienne’s hometown.When Brienne was in her twenties, that man assaulted her and forced her to become his wife.This entire time, Ronald was not her ex-husband's son, but the old man’s. That was why the old man willingly obeyed her orders.She had instructed the old man to work in Julius’ school and get close to Julius.However, Julius had chosen him for the job because he had the impression that the old man was reliable.I planned to submit the collection of evidence to the police when Julius suddenly came to me.It had been a while since I last saw him. He had lost a lot
On the day of my daughter Candy Stoppard’s physics competition, I had to represent my clients in a court overseas and couldn't get home in time to be with her.At first, I assumed I was receiving good news about her being successfully admitted into Prirose University after the court was adjourned.Unexpectedly, what I received instead was the news of her death.I hurried back home and found her body in the morgue. She was covered with bruises and even marks left behind by teeth.I collapsed to the ground and could not stop crying. It was as if someone had shut out all the lights in the world. The officer next to me sighed emphatically.“You must be the girl's mother.“We had to contact you because we couldn’t get in touch with the father.“I’m sorry for your loss. We have arrested the scumbag who did this.”The officer told me about what happened. Candy had booked a room in a hotel in the city center last night so she could be ready for the physics competition the following m
My relationship with Julius had been strained over the last few years.Despite that, I assumed he still cared about our daughter Candy, which was why I never asked for a divorce.All I wanted was for Candy to have a complete family.Now, I realized Ronald had a more important place in his heart than Candy.I pulled myself up from the ground and hugged Candy’s body tightly.‘Don't be scared, Candy. Mommy will bring you back home.’After she was cremated, I took the urn filled with her ashes and prepared to go home to sort out the funeral arrangements.Then, the police officer approached me and handed me her belongings.The transparent bag they handed me contained a pink mobile phone, an admission ticket, along with some pens and papers.Candy was gifted in physics. Ranked at the top in school, she was very confident about her chances in the physics competition.If not for this terrible freak accident, Ronald would have never claimed the first place.Yet, the freak accident ch
The alarm on Candy's phone suddenly went off.Usually, she would have been awake at this hour and started chipping away at her exercises. As a senior, her schedule was very hectic.I wiped away my tears before grabbing the phone to turn off the alarm.Immediately after I had done so, the display switched to the call logs.The first few logs on the list were calls made to Julius, with the earliest one timed at six o’clock in the morning.The officer mentioned that the scumbag had barged into Candy's hotel room at six o'clock.That meant Candy had called Julius for help.How did things still turn out like this?I clicked the log and pulled my phone out so I could record it.Candy's voice was filled with fear. “Dad, where are you? Some old guy just barged into the room. He says you were the one who told him to come here.”Julius' voice was filled with indifference. “Yes, I did. Just stay in the hotel. He’ll keep you safe.”Candy grew frantic at this point. It sounded like she w
“Mr. Stoppard, were you not aware that your daughter passed away?”One of the reporter's voices turned sharp as she fixed an intense look on Julius. The other focused the camera on Julius’ face to capture his reaction.Julius suddenly laughed.“Where did you two come from? What sort of nonsense is this?”There was a sudden uproar among the audience, everyone murmuring amongst themselves.“Why would Mr. Stoppard say that?”“Yeah, Candy passed yesterday! What are the chances that he doesn’t know about it?”“I was wondering why he looked so giddy today. I had assumed he would still be in mourning.”After Candy passed, I told her class teacher about what happened. It did not take long before everyone in her class knew about it.That was why everyone was thrown off by Julius’ reaction.“We are not making this up. Even the police have published the case online.”“Mr. Stoppard, don't you check your phone? Or do you simply not care about your daughter?”“Are you saying you simply d

After Candy's funeral, I wanted to contact Julius to continue the next phase of my plan.To my surprise, he had turned his phone off.What's more, public sentiment online had swung the other way.During Candy's funeral yesterday, someone recorded our conversation and posted it online.Brienne and Ronald were seen pitifully justifying their actions to me.I shot hateful glares at them in return and told them to drop the pathetic act. The video ended after that.The people online took it at face value and accused me of being unnecessarily cruel to them. They were sure that I was in the wrong.Soon, they were all defending Brienne and Julius.It was only then that I realized I had fallen for their trap yesterday.Brienne and Ronald intentionally played the victim to draw a reaction out of me and film it.This explained why Julius did not answer my calls. Surely, he thought that he no longer needed my help to shift public opinion.‘Well played, Julius. You have outsmarted me. Ho
“My dear… please let me explain. I never meant to hurt Candy.“Yes! I was the one who sent the man to keep an eye on her, but I didn’t think he would do something so vile to her!“I even made a point of instructing him to let Candy go after the competition ends.“Candy is my daughter. How could I ever have the heart to hurt her?”“Julius, I don’t want to listen to your explanation. I want a divorce.”He must not have been expecting the woman who once loved him so dearly to suggest a divorce, of all things.It caught him so off-guard that he cried.“I don't want to get divorced.”I fell silent before stating, “Alright, we don't have to get a divorce. But only if you attend our daughter's funeral tomorrow.”With that, I hung up on him.The two reporters approached me. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stoppard is going to end up on the headlines tomorrow morning.”With that, the first phase of my plans has been completed.I had to leverage public opinion against Julius to collect evidence.
“Mr. Stoppard, were you not aware that your daughter passed away?”One of the reporter's voices turned sharp as she fixed an intense look on Julius. The other focused the camera on Julius’ face to capture his reaction.Julius suddenly laughed.“Where did you two come from?
