Chapter 100
The bailiffs rushed forward and quickly separated the two of them, then took Bella away.”
Brandon collapsed onto the ground, trembling and sobbing. But no one pitied him.

“Your Honor, please proceed with the verdict,” I took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
“Don’t–don’t pass judgment…” Brandon panicked and rushed up to me, pleading, “Honey, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. I’l|I change, I swear I’ll never betray you again. I’ll be a good husband.”

“After all, we already have a child… she’s only one year old. She can’t grow up without a mother… Even if I’ve made unforgivable mistakes, the child is innocent!”
At the mention of the child, the crowd’s expression softened somewhat and many urged that I fight for custody.
I sighed, eyes welling with tears and said, “Brandon, you still don’t understand what you did wrong. The child is indeed innocent… but she is not mine.“}
The entire courtroom was stunned.
Beside me, Ethan stepped forward and handed a paternity test report to the judge. “According to DNA analysis, Brandon’s daughter shares no biological relation with Claire.”
In an instant, Edward coughed up a mouthful of blood in rage. Everyone stared at Brandon with even deeper disgust.
They had thought he was finally remorseful… but he was still lying.
I finally couldn’t hold back my tears and cried out in anguish, accusing Brandon. “You swapped my baby. He hadn’t even opened his eyes and you let him die… You were his biological father–how could you be so heartless?” Hearing this, everyone present began cursing Brandon, calling him inhuman and a monster.
Sweat poured down Brandon’s forehead. With a loud thud, he dropped to his knees before me, crying and begging. “Honey, I was confused… please forgive me! What happened with Bella was just an accident–I didn’t know… I didn’t expect… I… I was drunk! She seduced
me–she tricked me!”
I completely lost control and slapped him hard across the face.
“She tricked you once and could trick you a hundred times? Then what about Bianca? What about the two of them hiding inside the stuffed bear? What about all those videos? You still want to deny everything?”
“And what gave you the right to kill my baby? If I hadn’t kept my guard up… we wouldn’t even have found the body. You’ve changed–you’re no longer the Brandon I once knew.”
I realized something was wrong half a month ago. I came home unexpectedly… and caught Brandon with Bella in the bathroom. I overheard their entire conversation.
To protect myself, I endured the pain in silence for two weeks, crying alone and secretly preparing everything.”
I asked Ethan for help investigating.”
Thankfully, heaven didn’t turn its back on me and we uncovered the truth in time.}
Otherwise, I would’ve ended up penniless, publicly shamed and forever silenced.
Even my baby’s death would have gone unavenged.
“Honey… I’m truly sorry… please give me another chance, okay? I can’t live without you…“}
Brandon clung to my leg, sobbing and begging once more.
“Please… please, I’m begging you!”
But I stared down at him coldly and said, “Enough. I don’t have a husband like you. Since you chose to cheat, then I’ll help you see it through.“”
My voice was ice–cold, without a trace of hesitation.&
Realizing he couldn’t sway me, Brandon turned to his parents, crying out. “Dad, Mom… Please say something for me, I don’t want to go to jail…“!
It was as if he had already forgotten the vicious words he had once hurled at his own father.
But Edward’s face twisted with rage. He gritted his teeth and roared. “Get out of my sight! I wish you were dead!“}
Then he turned to the judge, his tone resolute. “I fully support their divorce. I support Brandon being kicked out with nothing. And I support him paying for my poor grandson’s life with his own!”
