“Mm, I’ll be waiting!”
I gave her a cold smile as I watched her walk
away.
I knew about Gavin investing in her product.
Karena had threatened Gavin, saying if he didn’t give her the funds, she would kill their child.
Such vicious words enraged Gavin.
I seized the opportunity to show my grace. “Gavin, Walon is still your child. For his sake, help her out this once!”
“Look at her, Carmel!” Gavin sharply criticized Karena, “And look at you. As a mother,

threatening me with your child’s life, over and over again!”
Over and over again?
I caught the key detail, and a ripple of realization stirred inside me.
Then Gavin said, “Transfer custody to me, and I’ll wire the funds. Otherwise, forget it! If you want to strangle him, go ahead, I don’t care anymore!”
Karena hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
After signing the custody transfer
documents, Karena received a check for fifty million.
Before leaving, she spat out a vicious threat: “Carmel! You wait! You’ll regret what you’ve done!”

I wasn’t hearing this for the first time!
I’m not who I used to be anymore!
Let her bring it on!
I didn’t pay much attention to her threats. What mattered to me was what Gavin had just said about Karena using the child to blackmail him more than once.
Could it be that, shortly after my death, Gavin applied for my death certificate, quickly divorced Karena, all because she threatened him with the child’s life?
And regarding my parents, did Gavin destroy the evidence for Karena because she used the child to threaten him?
But no matter the truth, Gavin was complicit

He would surely face his comeuppance!
It was time to close the net.
I pulled out my phone and made a call. “Send me the real data for Karena’s new product. The two million I promised, I’ll transfer it immediately!”
“Okay, I’ll send it to you right away!”

The person I speaking to was Karena’s assistant.
She had already been bought by me.
Her reason for helping was simple: her father had a gambling addiction and owed a huge debt. Creditors had come to their house, threatening to send her and her mother to an

The real data for Karena’s new product was soon in my inbox.
Perfect!
I called my mother, Ms. Coleman. “Mom, we’ve gathered the evidence. It’s time to share it with our media friends. The New Year is approaching, let’s help them boost their performance.”
Before long, the news about the fake ingredients in Karena’s skincare products went viral.
Customers who had purchased her products flooded the internet with posts.
“I used Karena’s product, and my face

“Not just fluorescent agents, there must be other chemical ingredients she didn’t list. After using her products, I’ve broken out in acne, my skin itches, and now it’s so bad I can’t stop scratching! Shots and medicine haven’t helped!”
“Anyone worse off than me? After using her products, my face got so hot, it felt like it. was burning! I just had surgery to fix it, and the pain is unbearable!”

The posts were full of criticism toward Karena and her products!

Gavin urgently deployed his PR team, but it was all in vain.
Of course, I was the one fueling the fire.
Then, I proactively reached out to the media, called a press conference, and revealed that Gavin had been forced to invest by Karena’s threat to the child, helping him minimize his losses.
I even secured new investments for him, elevating his company to greater heights!
After this incident, I had earned Gavin’s absolute trust.
Now, it was time to deal him the final blow!
