Chapter 8
After hearing this, Harry’s face turned ashen with rage.
He walked toward Seth step by step and delivered a resounding slap: “So it was you?! How dare you?!”
“Ryan is my own brother! The Garner family fortune rightfully belongs to him too! I never thought he was competing with me!”
“And he’s your uncle, you animal! How could you bring yourself to do this!”
With each sentence, he delivered another vicious slap.
Seth’s face quickly swelled up like a pig’s head.
Though Mrs. Garner felt sorry for him, she could only turn her head away at this moment, tears streaming down uncontrollably: “You’ve really gone too far this time!”
Only then did Ryan speak up: “Actually, I wasn’t completely unconscious that day.”
“I clearly saw that the car that hit me had the Garner family marking on its tires, so I was certain it was someone from the Garner family.”
“I just didn’t know exactly who, so I pretended to be paralyzed to make the perpetrator let their guard down.”
“I didn’t want to believe it at first, but later all the evidence pointed to Seth.”

Upon hearing this, Harry threw a punch at Seth’s face, knocking him straight to the ground.
Just then, Ashley burst through the door carrying a wedding dress.
Seeing the chaos everywhere and Seth lying on the ground, she screamed and rushed over frantically: “What are you doing?!”
She threw herself beside Seth, and seeing his bloodied face, turned to shout at Harry: “Uncle, how could you do this? He’s your son! The only heir to the Garner family!”
Harry stood there and let out a bitter, cold laugh: “Heir? Does
he deserve it?”
He collapsed onto the sofa: “He’s not even my biological son.”
Mrs. Garner couldn’t hold back anymore and broke down crying, covering her face: “He’s the child of an old friend.”
“He was only a few months old then. We couldn’t bear to see him helpless and alone, and since I’d never been able to have children, we took him in and raised him.”
I looked at Seth coldly, a mocking smile playing at the corner of my mouth: “So he’s fake after all. No wonder he cares so much about things he can’t have.”
“No… it’s not like that!” Seth shook his head frantically, “You’re lying to me, you must be lying!”

She grabbed Harry’s sleeve: “Uncle, please, for the sake of over twenty years of living together, don’t drive him away, okay?”
“Get away!” Seth suddenly erupted, shoving Ashley aside.
“It’s all because of you!”
“If you hadn’t stirred up trouble back then, how would Lulu and I have ended up like this?!”
“Get out! Get as far away as possible!”
Ashley staggered back two steps, biting her lip hard: “What about our child?”
Seth’s movements suddenly froze.
The next second, he lunged at Ashley, straddling her and pummeling her abdomen with his fists.
“It’s all your fault!” he roared as he struck, “I thought I didn’t love Lulu, but I was wrong!”
“When I saw her about to marry someone else, I finally understood-I can’t live without her!”
“It’s all your fault! You made me lose Lulu!”
Ashley begged for mercy in agony, but Seth seemed deaf to her pleas, his fists growing more violent.
Soon, bright red blood began spreading from beneath Ashley.

Seeing that pool of shocking blood, Seth finally loosened his grip: “It’s gone, it’s over. Now get out!”

Everyone was shocked by his actions, taking a long time to react and call the police.
When the police arrived, they immediately handcuffed Seth and put him in the patrol car.
Harry took a deep breath and handed the USB drive to the police: “Please investigate Ryan’s car accident as well.”
After the police left with Seth, Harry slumped in his chair and looked at Ryan: “Actually, I’ve long seen that Seth was no good.”
“All these years, I’ve been considering handing the company over to you.”
He smiled bitterly: “Maybe this is for the best. I couldn’t teach him right, so let the law teach him instead.”
A few months later, news came.
Seth was sentenced to ten years for attempted murder and intentional assault.
Ashley developed mental problems after her miscarriage and was sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Meanwhile, the Garner family not only came back from the
brink of collapse thanks to my father’s billion-dollar investment but reached new heights of success.

Our Bennett family naturally reaped substantial rewards as well.
I suddenly understood that making mistakes doesn’t matter- you can always make new choices.
