Chapter 6
I suddenly had a thought and asked, “Lily, was the money I gave you all these years enough?”
She froze, caught off guard by the question.
After a brief pause, she stammered, “Y–yes… it was enough…”
“Then why w

I walked toward Lily, my steps firm as I asked the question that had been bothering me.
She backed up until she hit the wall, and then suddenly raised her head, her voice loud and defiant.

“Yeah, I was dissatisfied with you! What’s wrong with that?!”
“Wendy, you have so much money, and yet you only gave me so little!”
“Do
you think I should be grateful for your charity, begging you for more? I won’t do it!”
She spoke with defiance, but her actions completely contradicted her words.
I sneered, shaking my head.
“How laughable” I muttered, then stretched out my hand, standing right in front of Lily.
“Since you don’t want my charity, then return everything in full.”
“I’ll have my lawyer calculate the exact amount for you.”

My money didn’t fall from the sky itself.
It would be better to feed it to a dog than give it to someone like Lily.
At least the dog might actually wag its tail in appreciation.
When Lily heard this, the fake act she had been putting on fell apart.
Her eyes turned red, and she looked like a little rabbit cornered by a wolf.
“Wendy, how could you be this kind of person?”
“Once you’ve given something to someone, you can’t just take it back!”

contentment aren’t worth my time.
I didn’t even say anything more. Instead, I stretched my hand forward, almost slapping her face.
“I’m thinking of using that money to raise a dog and see if it will beg for mercy.“”
Lily, hearing this, clenched her neck, looking more defiant than ever.
Some of the men in the room started to speak up for her, playing the role of “knights in shining armor“.
Even Howard, who had remained silent up to this point, finally moved.
He rushed to stand between me and Lily, looking at me with furrowed brows.

“Wendy, don’t be so harsh,” he said.
“Lily is just brave enough to speak her mind.”
“She’s at least better than some people who say one thing to your face and do another behind your back.”
Look what he said. It’s like he had no clue what it meant to be thankful.
What a different standard.
I rolled my eyes and turned away, sneering.
“I hope one day when she uses that trick on you, you’ll still feel the same way.”
Without a second thought, I walked away, leaving him stunned.
Howard, however, was getting desperate.

He grabbed my arm forcefully, demanding, “Wendy, now that we’ve established it was s a misunderstanding, shouldn’t you help me e explain things to the media?”
“When you misunderstood me, why didn’t t you listen to my explanation?”
“When you tried to kill me and our child, why didn’t you listen to my explanation?”
If it hadn’t been for Stewart saving me, today would have been a double tragedy.
Howard wasn’t even willing to regret the disgusting things he had done, yet he still had the nerve to ask me to explain.
I yanked my arm free and slapped him hard across the face.

The ring I was wearing cut his skin as my hand connected.
It wasn’t until then that I realized I still had my wedding ring on.
That ring was the first piece of jewelry Howard bought for me when he proposed, using the money from his first big earnings.
I’d heard he ran around the whole city searching for it.
I had always cherished it.
But now, with blood dripping from the wound, it seemed even more bitterly ironic.
I looked down at it for a moment, lost in thought, before slipping it off and throwing it
at his face.

Howard froze, staring at the ring as it landed on the floor.
The room was silent, the tension palpable.
A moment later, things escalated, and the police, who had been alerted, arrived on the
scene.
The officer in charge greeted me briefly and then directed the others.
“You, collect the evidence, but don’t damage anything.”
“And you, go check Howard’s house.”
Orders were being issued left and right, and everyone began to move.
