Chapter 9
The businesses that had previously placed orders with Finn’s company began returning their goods en masse. Who could guarantee that Finn would change? After all, not many people would swallow their losses like we did without a word of
complaint.
Our family’s company continued to be scrutinized by netizens, but all they found were photos of us making donations and participating in charity events.
Once the incident blew over, it was almost New Year’s and the company was back on track. I left the house with my parents to go to the office.
From a distance, we saw a car speeding straight toward us. Finn’s face was twisted with rage inside. “You should all die! If I can’t live well, then no one should!”
My father instinctively turned the wheel,

but after a sharp pain, I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was staring at a white ceiling. My mother was lying on the hospital bed next to me and my father was the only one on the couch.

injured. We had been unconscious for five days.
Seeing me awake, my father wiped his face. and said, “Finn has been arrested for intentional harm. He won’t be coming out again.”
After I woke up, my father took my mother to handle some paperwork. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hospital room. Someone burst in, pushing the door open forcefully. “I’m begging you, please let my son out. How can we live without him?”
It had been a while since I’d seen her and she looked even older. She walked in, saw no one else and focused her gaze on me. “I

“My son is still young. Can’t you just let him. go? After all, you’re all fine now, aren’t you? My grandson cries for his dad every day. Please, let him come back.”
The moment she entered, I closed my eyes tightly and pressed my lips together. I didn’t want to speak to her at all. She had a bad vibe and any interaction with her seemed to bring trouble.
Anyway, my parents would be back soon. I just stared at her, refusing to say a word.
She suddenly smiled and walked up to my bed. “Not talking? If my son can’t come back, then you won’t be living either.”
With that, she pulled out a knife from behind her. “It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, how could I end up like this? If you had obediently given up your seat and swallowed this loss, how could I have

Seeing the knife swinging down, I used all my strength to roll off the bed onto the floor. My father burst through the door, shouting, “Yvonne!”
It wasn’t until the old lady was taken away that I could finally breathe again, panting heavily. She was crazy!
She was taken away and charged with attempted murder, locked up for good. My father was so shaken that he broke out in a cold sweat and transferred me to another hospital the next day.
A while after I returned to school, my
mother sent me a message.
Finn and his mother had their trial. He got thirteen years and she got ten. They wouldn’t be getting out in this lifetime.
Later, we hear that Finn’s wife remarries
and takes their son with her. Before she
left, she visited him to tell him the son
wasn’t his.

After hearing this, the old lady had a heart attack and didn’t make it. Meanwhile, Finn broke down in prison, got into a fight and ended up with a broken leg.
“Yvonne, hurry up! We’ve got an 8 AM class!”
“Coming!”
