Chapter 331

Edith had a lot to handle immediately—the abortion and the surgery on one of her fallopian tubes.The surgery could introduce significant side effects. If Edith served her sentence in prison after the operation, her health would worsen, and she would likely suffer for the rest of her life.That's why she had to apologize in hopes of getting her sentence reduced. Her family worked hard to convince the judge to show leniency.Their efforts paid off: when the case went to trial again, the judge decided that Edith's apology, her suffering, and her physical condition justified a lighter sentence.Edith would be imprisoned for a year, but the sentence was deferred for two years. If she maintained good behavior and met other legal requirements during her probation, the judge might even dismiss her sentence entirely.Not that any of that mattered to me.At present, nothing was more important than making up with Soren!He had to be genuinely upset. I called him after leaving the building

My grandmother and aunt were right. I really was too quick to fall in love.I decided to go to work today.When you really thought about it, what was a man for, other than to add a little spice to your life? No way was I letting him stop me from making money and building my business.That pep talk did the trick—I felt much better.Unfortunately, I got a call from Cameron on my way to the company."You leave me no choice, Taylor. Give me money, or I'll dump your father at your door after I get him! And yes, I know where you live—I asked Edward!" she snarled.Cameron was getting more shameless by the day.I laughed scornfully. "I could just move right now. Want to bet who's quicker? If you abandon him in an empty unit, you'll be charged with negligence. Good luck finding a new way to get back at me after that," I retorted."Don't bullshit me. That's not a thing!""The Internet is your friend, ma'am. Or a lawyer."She went quiet.I snickered. This woman really thought she had t

Cameron glowered in silence. "It's fucking cold out here!" Miles snapped. "Do we really need to have this pointless chit-chat here? I want to get into the fucking car now!"He yanked the handle, but the door wouldn't budge."Open the damn door, bitch!" he snarled, not even bothering to use my name."Don't be impatient," I replied with a smirk.Miles glanced at his parents, looking confused."You're just here to be a little troll, aren't you?" Harry finally addressed me for the first time."Maybe a little," I admitted, grinning. "I'm enjoying how pathetic you look. I can't wait to tell Mom about this!"Harry's face darkened with fury. "Screw her! We're taking my own car!"He tried to move, with Cameron supporting him, but I cut in, "If you walk away from me right now, you'll never see another cent from me."His struggle to move told me just how serious his condition was.As expected, Cameron held him back, whispering, "No! Your life comes first!""She's kicking us while we'

Soren interrupted me before I could apologize, "Taylor, haven't you learned to inform me before doing anything? I thought we planned to visit the Kenway residence this weekend."I took a deep breath and tried to keep my voice steady. "I called you last night, but you didn't answer. I texted you this morning too, but you didn't respond.""Sorry. I got pretty drunk meeting with my clients last night. I just woke up. I'm calling you now because I saw your message."I stiffened. So that was why he sounded so groggy. The Uber honked lightly and merged onto the road. I had to cut the conversation short. "I can't make time for the visit today anymore. If you think it's necessary, we can do it tomorrow."I started the car and followed the driver.Soren was quiet for a long time. Then, finally, he asked gently, "Are you upset?"I bit my lip. Frustration welled up inside me, but I forced myself to stay composed—I was driving, after all. "Yes, a little! I know you're upset as well. You

"What?! Why—""You just want me dead as soon as possible, don't you, bitch?!" Harry roared, snatching Cameron's phone. "Well, I ain't gonna die so soon! You can count on that.""We'll see. Patience," I replied, amused.Naturally, I wanted him to live longer—my revenge plot deserved more time.Did these idiots really think I would buy them a burial plot after they died? That I cared enough to do anything with their corpses? I wouldn't even use Harry's ashes to plant a tree. I could bet the sapling would just wither and die.-Half an hour later, we arrived.Cameron started shouting at me the moment she stepped out of the car. All three of them complained.I ignored them and turned to the Uber driver, handing him 150 dollars. "This is for you—to come with me into the cemetery."The man's face lit up at the extra cash. "What are they to you, ma'am? They've been talking the nastiest shit about you the whole ride, you know?"I smiled bitterly. "Sorry about that. That's my biolog

"Y-You unbelievable ass!" Cameron kicked her son so hard he staggered and fell to the ground.Miles bounced back instantly and hoisted his father onto his back, ignoring the old man's protests and curses.I had to suppress a laugh as I led the way. The grave was only 300 yards away, but getting there was a battle between the two of them.In the end, Miles had to drag Harry the rest of the way.I signaled for Miles to drop Harry. "Here. This is where Mom and Grandpa are."Miles dumped his dad like a sack of rocks, then pulled out his phone, panting. "700, now."I transferred the money without hesitation.He beamed. "Oh shit, thanks, sis!"Well, well, he finally acknowledged me as his sister. "My pleasure, brother mine."Cameron, enraged, yanked Miles aside and started raining blows on him as he yelped.Meanwhile, Harry slumped near the grave, too exhausted to do anything. After a moment, he forced himself upright.I noticed him turning away."If you leave, I won't pay a dime

Cameron's face twisted with rage. Her entire body trembled as she cried out, "You bullying, tyrannical bitch! Your dad's in no shape to do any of this!""You're welcome to help him out by kneeling and repenting with him. That way, each of you only has to do it for fifteen minutes," I said calmly.Harry jabbed a finger at me, shaking with fury. For a moment, he was too enraged to speak. Finally, he forced out a few words through gritted teeth. "You… vile… scheming… snake… Bitch…!"The fake smiles I had worn up to this point vanished, swallowed by my rising anger and hatred."Me? Vile? I could never be as vile as you! How did you even get your hands on all that wealth if not by robbing Grandpa and Grandma's business?!"You targeted my mother because her family business was thriving. You lied to her, cheated on her, and exploited her love and devotion. You never loved her!"Then you and this bitch worked together to ruin her life. You divorced her, forced my grandparents into bankru

I took a spot under the shade of a tree, glanced at my watch, and called out, "Five minutes left."Cameron crouched near Harry. "What are we gonna do? I don't have the money for your treatment. This bitch is the only—""We should have never raised her!" Harry snarled, punching the grass.Cameron's sad eyes briefly turned red as she glanced at my mother and grandfather's graves. "Then what? Are we really going to kneel in front of… them?!" Harry said nothing. His fist trembled."One minute," I reminded them, shifting my stance.Cameron turned to me, thinking I was about to leave. "Wait!"She tugged on Harry's arm. "Just… just agree to it, okay? We're the living. They're dead. There's nothing embarrassing about kneeling to two slabs of stone!"Harry glared at her, his eyes bloodshot. "This is all your fault! If you hadn't agreed to Maddison's demand to marry Edward, we wouldn't be here!"He really thought this was revenge for that? He had no idea how much I hated them.This wa

"What did you say?" I asked loudly, despite having heard him the first time.Harry shot me a look that could kill. "Don't you dare!""We're leaving, then.""We agree! We agree to this proposal! I'll even do it with him!" Cameron cried out. Any trace of her arrogance had vanished.I sighed. "If you'd just agreed to it sooner, we'd be on our way back to the city by now."I pulled out my phone. "Well, let's get this started.""Mom? Grandpa?" I called out to their graves. "Harry and Cameron are here to repent and apologize for what they did. I'm sorry it took me so long to make this happen… but it's happening now. I hope this brings both of you some peace."I started recording.Cameron hesitated for a moment before kneeling before the graves. She helped Harry to his knees.Harry refused to look at what lay before him."Repent! Apologize, now!" I urged coldly, hate swelling in my chest.Harry hung his head so low his back nearly buckled under the weight."I said, repent. Or none

Good. Cameron actually had some self-awareness.They both knelt again.When the time was up, Harry's legs were shaky.Cameron couldn't support him alone and had to shout at her son, "Get over here and carry your father back down!"Miles extended his hand. "How much are you paying?"I burst out laughing. Jesus Christ, with a son like this, who needed enemies?!"You little shit! He's your father! How dare you ask for money to carry your own old man, you heartless scumbag—"I'd had enough of this circus and turned away, heading downhill. Meanwhile, I sent my grandmother and aunt the video I had recorded.By the time I got back to my car, my aunt called. "Harry's out of prison already?!""He's really sick, so they granted him compassionate release. Cameron wants me to pay for his treatment, so I made them go to Grandpa and Mom's resting place to repent.""Ha! Serves that scumbag right! Sandra and Dad wouldn't have died so soon if it weren't for him! Honestly, I think he got off e
