Make Him Pay
How is that possible?
“M-Mom, so Evan really did…”
The news was heart-wrenching for Sally to hear and a tough pill for her to swallow. At that moment, she
felt her heart tearing into pieces. All possibilities of her ending up with Kyle had fallen apart before her
eyes.
Although Ruby did not say anything, her eyes reddened.
That event had changed her and her relationship with Steven. It had transformed her life into
something she no longer recognized.
Over the years, it had been eating her alive, like there was a demon within her.
Sally watched her mother shudder and tighten her grip around the pillow, as though she was fighting
with herself. Instantly, the sight made Sally let go of her resentment and sympathize with her mother.
Silence ensued for a long while before Ruby finally spoke. “I’m tired, and I wish to get some rest.”
Obediently, Sally allowed her to lie on the bed and helped to cover her with the blanket. After keeping
Ruby company for a while longer, she left.
Standing outside Ruby’s room, Sally’s heart felt heavier than ever.
She could not believe Evan had failed to control his urges and ended up ruining her mother’s life.
Evan should die!
Furious, Sally went back to the office. She stormed up to Kyle’s desk with a dark expression, and her
eyes were shooting lasers.
Being on the receiving end of that look, Kyle could already deduce what happened.
“What did your mother say?”
Sally sneered, “Previously, I blamed my father for his extreme plans. However, your father does
deserve to die! He did such a vile thing to my mother and even cut off my father’s arm. He also planned
to harm the Maupay family. Evan is a d*mned demon that should die!”
Hearing that, Kyle’s eyes dimmed, and he was at a loss.
It was Daddy? No, that’s impossible!
“Did your mother tell you that it was my father? Did she spell it out herself?”
“Who else could it be? Your father was the culprit. He ruined my mother, so my father decided to seek
revenge on him. Despite so, Evan had the audacity to hurt my father and come up with a plan to kill my
family! Your father is a frightening man. It’s no wonder that his nickname is the reaper!” Sally ranted.
Kyle listened to her breakdown of the events and thought about it. The way she put it did seem
reasonable. However, he still did not believe that Evan could ever do that.
In disbelief, Kyle denied, “My father is not that kind of man. He has never laid a finger on another
woman other than my mother. It can’t be him!”
“Are you kidding me? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe your father never laid a finger on other
women because none caught his fancy? Besides, how would you know him so well? For all you know,
he might have been fooling around with other women behind your back!”
“No! He would never do that!”
“You’re his son, so it’s no surprise that you would stand on his side. However, this matter has inflicted
unimaginable hurt on my parents. They’re the victims! Kyle, I hope you can put aside your relationship
with him and think about it from an outsider’s point of view. Process the situation logically. If we
reversed the situation and my father did such a heinous thing to your mother, how do you think your
father and the rest of your family would react?”
Seeing how aggravated Sally seemed, Kyle was at a loss for words.
He did not want to make up such scenarios in his head. After so many years, he was well aware of his
father’s character. He knew that Evan would never do something like that.
“Sally, I can understand where you’re coming from. I’ll get to the bottom of this matter, I swear.”
Unfortunately, Sally would not listen. She growled, “Get to the bottom of it? Is it not clear enough? As
long as your father doesn’t own up, will you keep thinking that he’s innocent?”
Kyle realized that his words had no effect on her.
The only way he could convince her was to present evidence to change her mind.
“Kyle, although your father is a big shot in Y City and has a lot of power, he has to pay the price if he’s
done something wrong. My family will make him pay for what he did!”
