Chapter 235 Laughing at the Truth
Finished
Because Sharon wanted to survive, she schemed and seduced David, causing herself to lose a kidney, lose her biological daughter, and even her son got dragged into a lawsuit and ended up in prison.
At this moment, Alice’s mental state was near collapse; she was crying and laughing simultaneously, her behavior almost deranged.
“David, didn’t you always say that marrying into my family was a great shame for you? Well, what about now? How does it feel to be played by the woman you loved? For the sake of another man’s daughter, you cruelly abandoned your own, even leading her to end up in a prison labor camp. You’ve driven Bennett Corporation into bankruptcy, and all the liquidated assets have gone into Sharon’s account. Even your own son, you’ve turned him into a legal scapegoat, burdened with responsibilities he should never have had to face. David, you’re really the ideal husband, the ‘model father, aren’t you? Haha.
Alice’s laughter was tinged with tragedy as she violently tore up the documents in her hands and then threw the shredded papers at David.
The fragments fluttered down like ceremonial paper money, covering David, who was rendered motionless by his fury, as if burying him in his disgrace.
Every word from Alice was like a sharp dagger, relentlessly stabbing into David’s heart. He had struggled out of the countryside to the big city with a clear goal–to make a life. From the moment he first saw Alice, he saw her as his target.
In the years before meeting Sharon, apart from feeling the disgrace of being a son–in–law, he was rich in both spirit and material wealth. He had a wife who loved him dearly and a son who was exceptionally intelligent, and he was the president of Pierce Corporation.
Looking back now, those shameful moments, mostly just his father–in–law, the chairman of Pierce Corporation, summoning him to his office for advice, seemed trivial compared to the immense disgrace Sharon, George, and Willow had brought him.
David was heartbroken, wanting to repent but unable to even speak, his gaze filled with sorrow as he looked at Lauren.
This time, his repentance was heartfelt; he was wrong, terribly wrong.
Knowing he would end up with nothing, even paralyzed from the waist down, he would rather have endured a lifetime of nagging by the elder.
His gaze was more sincere than ever before.
If he could stand, he would undoubtedly beg for mercy at Lauren’s feet; if he could speak, he would sincerely apologize, even humbly begging for her forgiveness.
Yet even such a humble wish was beyond him.
He could only slump in his wheelchair, helpless as mud.
Since Lauren had gone deaf, she relied on her eyes, which had become incredibly sharp, instantly discerning all of David’s thoughts. Apologies? Repentance? Making amends? Ha! I needed none of that.
These were merely acts of desperation, seeking psychological comfort to continue living after being punished and left with nothing.
If there had been a better choice, David would never have bowed to her. Her earlier life was filled with hardships, all thanks to this man before her.
Why should I forgive someone who had deeply wounded me?
She did more than not forgive; she even felt that the punishment David received was far from enough. She harbored deep hatred for David, Elliot, Willow, Alice, Sharon, George, and also for Lucas and Kenneth. All of them were executioners who had intentionally hurt her for Willow’s sake.

Lauren’s gaze swept over everyone present.
None dared meet her eyes, each shamefully lowering their heads.
Finished
Lauren’s eyes settled on David, her voice calm yet firm, “You were unkind to me, but I will not be unjust to you. Go back to where you came from.”
David’s pupils dilated, filled with terror. What does she mean? Is Lauren sending me back to the countryside? No, I didn’t want to go back.
The countryside was poor and the people were harsh; he had left in glory, but now he would return with his tail between his legs. The mockery and gossip alone could drown him.
“Ah… Laurie, don’t do this to me, I’m your dad.”
