373 Damien’s punishment
Maverick didn’t feel that collecting the chip, and other ‘little‘ things that Damien did to atone for his sins
were enough because he could have easily gotten them by himself if he was desperate for them. 1
His main reason for keeping Damien alive was to use his help to get rid of the Dark Age organization.
However, Maverick also felt like that wasn’t a good punishment because Damien’s biggest dream was
also to get rid of the organization; meaning, they are fighting the same battle.
Jeslyn sighed, “Fine, but try not to hurt Kimberly, She has gone through a lot already.”
“Mn,” he peeked her on the forehead but Jeslyn took it further and kissed his lips.
On this fine day, Madam Caroline was in her room, mourning her losses with alcohol when her Butler
knocked, he entered the room and handed her an envelope.
Madam Caroline had been like this for some weeks now and none of her servants and guards knew
what her problem was.
“Madam, this was mailed this morning,” the Butler said.
“Get out!”
“Yes, Ma’am,” just as the Butler was about to leave, she instructed.
“Drop it.”
The Butler neatly placed the chocolate envelope next to her on the bed before leaving.
Madam Caroline didn’t want to open the envelope but after a long while, curiosity got the better of
her.
Opening the gold and chocolate invitation card, it was a charity event, hosted by her?!
Confused, she looked through the envelope and found a small note attached to it.
“Hello, Mother–in–law. It’s almost a year that we had a bet but it seems you’re already failing. Anyway, I
want to thank you for the money. Also, this elegant charity event was only possible because of your
selfless contribution. Your $30. 5 trillion was indeed a motivation for me and I promise not to disappoint
you, dear mother–in–law.
“Also, I did this Charity event in your name, so that when you die, there’ll be people singing your
praises. I used $500,000 from the compensation money you gave me. I’m such a caring daughter–in–
law, I know…”
Madam Caroline couldn’t finish reading. She didn’t dare to continue for fear that she’d die of a heart
attack. Angry tears slid down her cheeks. All the money she had gathered all her life was $30.5 trillion.
Now what was remaining in her account was $1.
“Ahhhhhh!!!” Madam Caroline roared to the ceiling. A stream of tears gushed down her pretty cheek. “I
can’t forgive you, Jeslyn! I won’t!!”
At that moment, her phone rang. She picked it up and screamed, “What?!!”
The other person said a few words to her before she threw her phone in a fit of rage and burst into
sardonic laughter.
“Lu Hao, you even had the guts to get that filthy helper pregnant. Hahaha… aaaahhh!!” She screamed
and pulled her hair.
Madam Caroline was extremely bitter, to say the least. Yes, she knew that she orchestrated the
situation where Lu Hao, her ex–husband, slept with a servant but she didn’t ask him to get her
pregnant!
Now, not only is her children not willing to forgive her, she has another enemy to get rid of but before
that, she formulated a plan to extort the main branch of the Lu family. 2
A few days later…
The long–awaited charity event that was the talk of the town, became a reality.
At one of the grand hotels in country M, the hotel’s parking lot saw fleets of Luxurious cars on this day.
Men and women of different ages arrived in their full glory as they made their way through the red
carpet with reports and media personnel lining both sides of the carpet.
Shutter sounds of digital cameras accompanied by camera lights went on and off with every photo that
was taken. The elaborate scene was a sight to behold!
Madam Caroline alighted from her car with all eyes on her. She loved the attention, this was what she
lived for! But at this moment, her cold face knew no smile.
She darted her eyes around, in search of Jeslyn but she was nowhere on the red carpet.
Fashion journalists immediately flocked around her like they used to, asking about her elegant black
dress and accessories. They wanted to know how much her jewelry, dress, shoes, and bag were worth.
Unlike before, she would reply to every question asked with a sweet smile, Madam Caroline wanted
nothing but to enter the hotel immediately.
While she was looking for an opening to leave, she heard a commotion from behind and all the
reporters deserted her.
Looking behind her, the lady who was coming out of the car was Piper, followed by Kimberly. Before
Madam Caroline’s expression could change, another car stopped by and the almighty
daughter–in–law got down with a cute smile on her gorgeous face.
The three ladies who just arrived stole everyone’s attention as people sang their praises.
“Wow, I’m envious. The relationship between the Alpha Chaos‘ sisters and wife is so harmonious.”
“Indeed, I never thought that family would be this blessed. The sisters are gorgeous and so is the wife.”
“Too bad there’s no mother, the picture would have been perfect.”
“I thought they had a mother?”
“There’s a difference between mothers…”

“Ah, I understand… don’t elaborate, she’s right behind us, I don’t want trouble.”
People whispered among themselves as they watched Jeslyn and her sisters–in–law walk down the
red carpet.
“Mother–in–law, so pleased to meet you,” Jeslyn beamed.
Madam Caroline balled her hand in a tight fist, forcing herself to calm down.
“Sister–in–law, your mother is so nice, you can’t believe how much she spent on this event. I was
moved to tears.” Jeslyn said to Piper,
“It’s surprising” Piper replied flatly. She didn’t want to speak to her mother at all.
“Don’t be so cold, sister–in–law, who doesn’t make mistakes? After all, my mother–in–law is growing
old, and sometimes her memory… you should understand.”
“Hahaha, sister–in–law, you’re indeed the best wife for my brother,” Piper chuckled.
