“For revenge, to avenge your husband, you made up these stories and you can’t say—“
Mrs. Meyer was interrupted by a slap. She stared at what her husband did to her in disbelief, “You hit
me?”
“Bella Bennett, you’re awful. My eyes are really blinded.” Finn looked at his wife like she was a
stranger. He shook his head and took a step back step by step. Over the years, he couldn’t forget
Maria. He was blinded by hatred, but he thought he was treating this woman who was his wife kindly.
But he suddenly discovered that the culprit of everything was actually her, the person who was lying
next to his pillow every night.
That time in the hospital, the doctor told him that the cause of Maria and his child’s death was by an
injection. Sis-in-law was so frightened that she had to be admitted to the hospital too. He thought they
were acting for him to see, so he asked the doctor not to tell them the cause of Maria’s death. He
secretly vowed to seek justice for Maria. But he didn’t expect that after more than 20 years, he
discovered that he had been looking for the wrong enemy.
Bella laughed instead. She knew that she still lost. She lost to a woman who had been dead for more
than 20 years. That woman had penetrated into her husband’s bones. Even if she treated him
wholeheartedly for so many years, she couldn’t match with that woman. How ridiculous.
“I’m awful? Finn Meyer, even though I am, I’m not as awful as you. Your best brother, your brother who
gives you whatever you want. You said you wanted to start your own business, he gave you a start-up
capital, introduced you to business and supported you. But you were being ungrateful. You bought his
trusted aides, deliberately restrained Hoyle Group, sold internal secrets to its competitors, and let them
fight with their own. You want to surpass your brother, but you aren’t as good as him and you don’t
have his wisdom. You’re envy of him, envy of his outstanding son, but you have no heir. Your brother
had chest pain, and with the pills you brought, you secretly replaced them with vitamins. I’m cruel is
because I love you, I want you. But you, your murder is invisible and you’re more awful than me.”
“So that’s how it is.” Alan finally found the most reasonable explanation for his father’s death.
Alan had always suspected that his father’s death was strange, but couldn’t find the evidence. He
never thought that a quarrel between them could spit out all the truth.
Finn knew that he couldn’t hide from the situation anymore. Years of deployment and management
were just a joke. He identified the wrong person and took revenge at the wrong person. Just like his
spiritual pillar for many years suddenly collapsed. His whole person was obviously utterly depressed.
He also didn’t want to justify what he had done.
Just one, he wanted to talk to Alan Hoyle.
“Alan, whatever you want to say, I’ll admit it all. I’m sorry. But Ophelia, she grew up with you. Although
she had done some wrong things, it’s fortunate that it didn’t cause particularly serious consequences.
You and Ms. Steele have reunited too. I hope you see Ophelia’s love for you and let her go.”
Ophelia shed tears. What her mother said just now, for a moment, she really almost thought that her
father didn’t love her. That he just looked at her as an outsider and treated her good. But when she
heard this, her tears couldn’t stop falling.
“Dad, what about mom? She did those things because she loves you too. Can you forgive her too and
not be angry with her?”
“These are two different things. Ophelia, apologize to Ms. Steele and ask for her forgiveness.” Although
Finn resented his wife for what she did in the past, his daughter was always his. He once regarded her
as a jewel in his heart. As a father, even if he had acted utterly devoid of conscience, his natural
fatherly love still wanted to keep his daughter safe.
He deeply knew that since Alan would break off relations with his mother for the sake of Olive Steele,
he knew how heavy the weight of Olive in his heart. As long as Ophelia got Olive’s forgiveness, Alan
was less likely to act upon Ophelia.
But Ophelia wasn’t a person who would easily confess her mistakes. Her hateful eyes like daggers shot
at Olive, “I don’t want to.”
Asking her to lower her head and say sorry to this woman was worse than killing her.
“Ophelia, listen to me.” Finn looked at her sternly and instantly pushed Ophelia to Olive’s side.
This child, why didn’t she understand that he was doing this for her own good? A momentary being
humble was nothing. A person needed to be ready to give and take. She would understand this later.
Ophelia’s eyes were red and felt that she had lost her dignity. All thanked to the woman in front of her.
She hated her. So what if she lost? So what if she ever harmed her? It wasn’t enough to quell the
blazing hatred in her heart.
“Olive Steele, Alan and I were childhood sweethearts. Before you knew him, I’ve liked him for eighteen
years. You stole Alan from me. You’re completely the third person.”
Kent’s voice was like a ghost and laughed from the top, “If unrequited love is a flower, this is a strange
flower.”
Some crowd had scattered and they couldn’t help but chuckled.
Finn stared nervously at Olive. He thought that he really had spoiled his daughter. He had always
taught her to hold herself aloft, but he forgot that people sometimes need to bend their waist.
Olive wasn’t angry. If she was, she would be fooled by this woman. She smiled a little, “Ms. Meyer, just
because you like that person, it doesn’t mean that person will definitely like you back. Love is about two
feelings being happy. Whether it’s unrequited love or a secret love, there is nothing wrong with the
occurrence of love. But Ms. Meyer, I think your so-called love is just a toy in the shop window. Before
you have the ability to have him, you’re not willing he was to be taken by others first and you try every
means to keep him by yourself. So, you don’t have the right to label me as a third person. And you
don’t know true love is. You don’t even know how to love someone—“
Ophelia impatiently interrupted her, “I don’t need you to teach me—“
And Finn sternly interrupted his daughter, “Ophelia…”
Olive took her words back, “Mr. Meyer, you don’t have to force Ms. Meyer to apologize to me. As long
as she doesn’t do any harm to me, my daughter, and my family, I have no intention to do anything to
your daughter.”
As for how her husband wanted to deal with the Meyer, she felt that she had no place to intervene.
There had to be an end to these old diseases.
Simon led two burly eastern men in black quietly into their center. After giving a slight nod to Alan, he
turned to face Finn Meyer, “Mr. Meyer, Mrs. Meyer, and Ms. Meyer, since you all have admitted, then
please go to the police station with us to record your confessions and go through the relevant
procedures. I believe you know what is waiting for you, so I don’t need to say it anymore.”
This sudden change of identity surprised everyone. Wasn’t Simon Ace an assistant to Alan Hoyle?
When did he become a policeman?
Finn also frozen for a while, “How are you…”
Simon showed his work permit and arrest warrant, “My apology. This is my true identity. I have
permanent residency in China, which is what you call Chinese nationality. I actually have been
investigating you for a long time. I also suspect that your company is involved in smuggling. I believe I’ll
be able to prove you soon.”
Mrs. Meyer and Ophelia were extremely uncooperative. They were struggling hard when the handcuffs
fell on their wrists.
The man in black said, “Be a little bit honest.”
Finn initiatively stretched out his hands, “Can you let me say a few words?”
Simon shrugged, “Sure.”
Finn walked to Alan, “Alan, for the sake of Ophelia’s feeling for you, can you not sue her?”
Alan simply said, “I’ll take a look at her repentance first. I can’t let someone who is dangerous to my
wife and children out.”
Finn opened his mouth and finally said out two words, “Thank you!”
They had reached until this point. It was useless to say more.
He initially thought that Alan would use Kent Bai to destroy him. But he didn’t expect that he would be
punished legally. What kind of sentence he would get, he knew best. But Ophelia was still young.
Although she had made mistakes, it wasn’t worth it to destroy her life.
The next day on Jiangcheng’s newspaper was uproarious. Even the least eye-catching tabloids were
all sold out.
What the streets were talking about was the sudden change of the rich. They discovered that Mrs.
Meyer, who appeared at the Buddhist Charity Gala, turned out to be a cruel two-faced person. Her so-
called worship to Buddha wasn’t meant to pray for the dead, but it was just to ask for her own peace.
“These rich people are worse than the other.”
“Yes.”
“They deserve it.”
“They will rot in hell when they die.”
“Do you guys know that the plane crash turned out to be a fake? It was a smoke bomb that Alan Hoyle
laid to confuse Finn Meyer.”
“How can I not know? I heard that Finn Meyer found an international infamous assassin and made a
group of lackeys to kill Alan Hoyle. The fight on the plane was terrible. But in the end, Alan Hoyle and
his friend managed to control the situation and saved everyone on the plane.”
A woman looked at Alan’s handsome face on the newspaper and self-pitied, “Why can’t I meet such a
remarkable man?”
Someone on the side laughed, “You can just keep dreaming. Not everyone can have Olive Steele’s
life.”
“I don’t want an outstanding man. I’m satisfied with a great daughter. This child is way too cute.”
“Yeah, yeah. You don’t have that high-quality genes to pass on to your future daughter and you can’t
find such high-quality genes to pair with you.”
“Can’t I just daydreaming? Don’t you ever daydream about it? I dare to say it out loud, but you don’t.
Hypocrite!”
