The Wedding Red Sheet Became My Death Parachute Chapter 10

The dust finally settled.

Grant Sterling was sentenced to twenty years in prison for attempted murder, embezzlement,

felony escape, and kidnapping.

On the day of the sentencing, he blubbered like a child in the defendant’s dock.

He banged his head on the table, begging for my forgiveness, saying he knew he was wrong.

I watched him coldly, saying nothing.

Amber Vance didn’t fare much better.

She was sentenced to fifteen years for conspiracy to commit murder and witness tampering.

Because her leg injury was never properly treated, it became permanently crippled.

I heard that in prison, she’s bullied daily by the other inmates and rarely gets enough to eat.

She spends her days crawling on the floor with her useless leg.

The Sterlings were detained for fifteen days for harboring a fugitive and obstructing justice.

After they were released, their home was foreclosed on by the court to pay back the funds Grant had

embezzled.

The two old people and Daisy were left with nothing, forced to rent a moldy basement in the slums.

Once the divorce was finalized, I took back all my assets and my shares in the company.

I resumed my role as CEO.

I purged the toxic remnants of Grant’s leadership and brought in a fresh team of talented young professionals.

Under my guidance, the company quickly turned a profit and began to thrive.

A year later, on a weekend, I was driving my new sports car home from a high-end shopping mall.

As I walked out of the mall entrance, I saw a filthy little girl rummaging through a dumpster.

Beside her stood a hunched, white-haired old woman,

C….

It was my former mother-in-law and Daisy.

Daisy was wearing ragged, oversized clothes, her hair a matted mess-she looked like a little

beggar.

She looked up, and our eyes met.

She froze.

Looking at my polished appearance and then back at herself, Daisy suddenly burst into tears, dropped the plastic bottle she was holding, and lunged toward me.

“Mommy! Mommy, take me with you!”

“Grandma hits me every day and makes me pick up trash! I’m so hungry!”

“I miss you, Mommy! I know I was wrong!”

The old woman recognized me too and hobbled over with a fawning smile.

“Oh, Evelyn, look at how well you’re doing!”

“You can’t just ignore your own daughter now that you’re rich”.

“Just take Daisy back. We can’t afford to keep her alive anymore”.

I looked at Daisy as she clung to my leg, sobbing her heart out.

I didn’t soften.

I took a step back and pulled my leg away.

Daisy fell to the ground, looking at me in disbelief.

I looked at them coldly.

“You have the wrong person”.

“I told you before-I have no daughter”,

I got into my car and hit the gas, leaving them far behind.

In the rearview mirror, I saw Daisy kneeling on the ground, wailing in despair, while the old woman screamed curses.

But I didn’t care anymore.

The Evelyn from my past life died at fifteen thousand feet.

In this life, I didn’t just punish the wicked; I lived for myself.

For those who aren’t worth saving, let them remain locked in the hell they dug for themselves.

The sunlight streamed through the window, warm and bright on my face.

My new life had only just begun.
