Raymond did not have the slightest sympathy for Raelyn upon witnessing her crumble. One would die miserably should one show mercy on such a cruel person. He came here today to let Raelyn have a taste of her own medicine. He immediately continued speaking... "You are well aware whether I am just spewing bullshit or telling the truth, aren't you? Declan wanted to carry this secret to his grave before being betrayed. He did not expect Devon and Natasya to frame me for murdering his daughter. He decided to come clean for the sake of his only daughter that he adores so much. I have Declan's recording with me and do feel free to have a listen!" Raymond took out the recording device and Declan's voice soon emerged. All the past events were eventually being told by Declan. He confessed to exchanging masks with his brother just to sleep with Raelyn and also talked about Talitha's background. Raelyn sprung up madly and tried to get ahold of the recording device. However, her pl
Raymond immediately glanced at Gavin in surprise. His grandfather was still trying to patch things up when the situation had gone out of hand. Raymond sneered and said, "You must be assuming that I am a ruthless person, right? However, I am being merciless compared to the cold-blooded Raelyn. She is the one who always started it first. Her entire family had plotted against my mother before laying a finger on my sister. She also tried to get rid of my brother-in-law and now she is targeting me instead. Don't you think that she was ridiculously vicious at that time then? You have always sided with Raelyn and criticized my father and sister for being unreasonable. I am currently being blamed, which would make my entire family at fault. Are you sure that Raelyn is the innocent one judging by current circumstances? Have you gone slow-witted or have you chosen to be blindsided by the facts?" "I... I did feel a bit skeptical towards her, but..." Gavin tried to defend himself befor
William spread his hands out and replied, "I did not see this coming too. Declan told me about this secret in hopes to save Talitha, her daughter. I decided to investigate it further to match with his speculation. I was rather surprised when it turned out to be true." Raymond heaved a sigh of relief after being shocked. "It is no wonder why Raelyn does not share the same qualities with our family. I initially thought that there was something wrong with her genes! I can finally explain her madness when she is not part of our family at all." "You have a point and Valeria did mention this before too. I did not take her seriously when she claimed that Raelyn was an outsider judging by her ruthless personality. Valeria did have good instincts when the truth is finally revealed." William continued, "Your grandfather has been defending Raelyn all the time. I am curious what would his reaction be if he gets to know that she is not his daughter!" "He might be so angry that he
Devon did also realize that his reaction was relatively bizarre. He smiled apologetically and tried to ease the tension, "Sweetheart, you must be tired from traveling all the way here. Let me turn the hot water on for you to have a lovely bath!" "Wait a minute!" Raelyn looked at him and asked, "Can I have a kiss from you?" "What?" Devon was stunned and immediately refused, "We have been together for so long. What is with your spontaneous request?" "Is there anything wrong with trying to keep the sparks alive? Can't you just give me a peck on the cheek? I now demand a kiss from you to light up my mood!" Raelyn must have suspected something based on the strange look on her face. It was not the time to have an argument with her. Devon suppressed the disgusted feelings and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. However, she was not satisfied by it and instantly wrap her arms around his neck. She attempted to kiss his lips but unfortunately got pushed away by h
Devon decided to go all out upon seeing her crumble on the ground. He kicked and cursed... "You are a pretentious ugly woman and I shall beat the c*ap out of you! How dare you be so thick-skinned and questioned me instead? You were a slut who flirted with me first. I struggled to get rid of you and my entire life has been ruined by you!" Raelyn screamed at the top of her lungs upon being struck by him continuously. She cussed, "Devon, you son of a bitch! You wouldn't have achieved all of these if it weren't for me!" Devon giggled and snapped back, "Are you still overestimating yourself? I would have married the woman I truly love if it weren't for you. I would rather be an ordinary employee than be together with a sickening person like you." These words were like a slap to Raelyn's face. She was so upset that she raised her voice, "Why would you agree to take me as your wife if you claim to be such a righteous person then?" "What? Haha! When the f*ck did I
Bevan and Hardy were worried about different matters, "Mr. Anthony, are you worried about Archer and the others? It would be bizarre if they would lend a helping hand towards a vicious person like Raelyn. They would be kind enough by not making things worse for her." Hardy shook his head and replied, "I'm talking about Gavin instead of Archer. That old man would not wish to see his son-in-law end up so miserably, wouldn't he? He is utterly lenient towards his beloved daughter. He would eventually give way should Raelyn begs for his assistance." They were in the midst of a conversation when Bevan's phone suddenly rang. He answered the phone and had a surprised look on his face. He swiftly reported matters to Hardy, "Mr. Anthony, Raelyn is currently hospitalized in Bricksburg. Reliable sources claimed that Devon did this to her. She would have been long gone if the police did not arrive just in time." "Really? Why would Devon want to get rid of his wife? Doesn't he know
Deborah's eyes lit up as well and asked, "Really? How about asking him to tag along with us?" "Sure, I shall give him a call to ask if he has the free time." Valeria immediately contacted William, "Honey, are you currently at B City's highway? I happen to be here too." "Yes, I'm here to have a word with your father. Would you like to join us then?" "Sure! I'm here with your grandma. Do you have the time to hang out with us later?" "Of course!" Valeria hung up the phone and said, "William is with my dad right now. Let's go and say hi to them." "But... won't we become an inconvenience for them?" Deborah had a second thought when knowing that Archer was with her grandson. "Absolutely not. Grandma, there is no need to be worried as we are a family. Let's go!" Valeria took Deborah to the private room where Archer and William were currently at. Archer immediately stood up upon noticing their arrival and greeted, "Mrs. Floyd, nice to meet you!"
It was best to strike when the iron was hot. Raelyn knew that her current miserable state would be her most powerful weapon to deceive Gavin. She decided to endure the pain and injuries for the greater good. She stumbled and eventually left the hospital. She needed to take a cab and head back to B City immediately. She decided to meet Gavin and tell him how sorrowful her condition was. She planned to meet with Archer and Natalie to admit her mistakes after getting Gavin on her team. She needed to humble down and win their trust. They were kind-hearted persons and Raelyn needed to try her best in begging for their mercy. It was hoped that they will let their guard down and eventually accept her in being part of the family again. The following scene had taken place in the Saunders family's house. Gavin had yet to receive the news about Devon's arrest and Raelyn's hospitalization. He was feeling moody despite not knowing about the breaking news. He did not have mu
