In prison, I sat face to face with Kevin.
With his head shaved, he looked like all the life had been drained out of him.
Completely deflated.
“So you never trusted us from the beginning. You came back just to send me and Chloe to prison, didn’t you.”
nodded frankly.
Actually, from the day I left the country, I knew these two would never let me go.
Two people with zero survival skills besides spending money would never agree to a divorce.
By pushing them to the edge, I knew they would try to get revenge.

So I planted moles around them.
Sure enough, they couldn’t sit still and went to find some local thugs.
They offered money with just one request:
To ruin me.
When my friend put the investigation results on my desk, she was furious:
“That beast! How dare he use such tactics against you!”
“I’m calling the police right now to have them arrested.”
I stopped her:
“Even if they’re arrested now, they’ll only be locked up for a few days. Why not play along with their scheme and see how it unfolds?”
I bribed the thugs and learned their entire plan.

I was so excited I couldn’t sleep.
I obediently waited at home for Kevin’s call.
God knows how thrilled I was when I finally received it.
Since you delivered yourself to my doorstep, you can’t blame me now.
Kevin opened and closed his mouth, finally hanging his head in defeat.
He knew very well that even after getting out of prison, with a criminal record, his life was over.
No… that’s not right!
He still had his child!
“Where’s my child?! Chloe should have given birth by now! What does my child look like?!”
His eyes suddenly lit up with a manic, eerie light.
He threw himself against the glass, practically drooling.
People are strange. Even when they have nothing left, they still cling to the idea of leaving behind offspring.
What could he possibly give a child?
But I was still too kind–hearted.
I picked out a photo from my phone and held it up to his face:
“It’s a boy. But Chloe must have done too many evil deeds while pregnant. The baby came out a bit… dark…”
Kevin’s gaze frantically scanned the photo for just a second.
Then he lost it.
It wasn’t just “a bit dark” – it was clearly a black baby.
“Impossible! This can’t be! You’re lying to me! This isn’t my child! It’s not!”
He pounded madly on the glass between us.

Sigh, I show him his child out of the goodness of my heart and this is how he repays me.
How heartbreaking.
A guard came in and kicked him in the butt. He immediately quieted down.
“Kevin, did you really believe that nonsense about ED being cured when you meet your soulmate?”
“To tell you the truth, your condition was exactly the same with both me and her. She was just willing to lie to you for your money. You’ve always had ED.”
“As for the child, of course it’s not yours. But the good news is, there were so many men that night that Chloe can’t remember whose it is. She’s willing to let you raise it. How about that? You get a free son – aren’t you happy?”
Kevin’s brain clearly couldn’t process so much explosive information at once.
He sat there in a daze, unable to utter a word.
Oh no, did the shock drive him insane?
I’d better leave quickly before he latches onto me again.
Just as my left foot stepped out the door, I heard him roar with surprising vigor:
“Chloe Sanders! I’m going to kill you!!!”
