Chapter 120
But the moment that smile touched my face, the elites and high–society figures around me misunderstood completely.} Thinking I had been coaxed into forgiveness, they dropped to their knees one after another, voices trembling with fear.” “Miss Lowell, we truly didn’t recognize your standing earlier. Please don’t lower yourself to our level!”
“Yes, we had no idea who you really were. Our words were ignorant, not malicious. Please don’t take it to heart!“}
“Our Caldwell family is willing to hand over half our assets as an apology. Just don’t be angry with us!“}
“I’m willing too, whatever you say, I’ll do it, as long as it eases your anger!”
Just moments ago, these so–called elites stood tall with their noses in the air, spitting cruel words about how disgraceful and shameful I
was.
Now, every last one of them knelt before me, stripped of pride, groveling like cowards, their voices shaking with desperation.
cast a cold glance at Soren, kneeling at my feet like a broken man.”
Then I swept my gaze across the trembling crowd, those same people who once sneered at me.
I said nothing.
I simply turned around, carrying my son’s urn in my arms, and walked away without hesitation.

Later, Lancelot sent me a message that those high–and–mighty elites and so–called noble families had all gone bankrupt overnight.
Even the Hendricks Group collapsed that same day, crumbling like a sandcastle under a crashing tide.
They ended up homeless, wandering the streets with nowhere to go and no one daring to take them in.
Soren, crushed under the weight of endless debt and shame, chose to end his life by jumping to his death.
When the news reached me, I felt nothing. Not sorrow, not relief, just a hollow silence.
A year later, while I was traveling to clear my mind, I came across a chaotic scene. A group of vicious–looking women were chasing someone down the street, their curses sharp as blades.
“You filthy homewrecker! How dare you seduce my husband? We’re going to beat you to death today!“}
The woman was running so frantically that she lost a shoe and didn’t dare glance back.
I took a closer look. Wasn’t that Leigh??
So, after Soren died, she still hadn’t changed. She’d gone on seducing married men.M
As expected, a dog never stops eating filth.”
