He Scorned Me, Now I’m a CEO He Can’t Afford Chapter 23

The more he read, the paler he became.

As the anonymous post from the old housekeeper went viral, more people started digging.

Old stories were unearthed, piece by piece.

Someone found Lena’s medical records from her early teens. Her back had been punctured, and the diagnosis read “multiple deep-tissue lacerations.”

Wyatt immediately remembered that time.

Clara had cried and said Lena had damaged the silver conchos on her mother’s saddle just to show off.

Someone else found records from a 4-H youth project.

The calf Lena had carefully raised for competition had fallen violently ill the night before the show. The attached vet’s note was clear: suspected ingestion of contaminated feed.

There were even old social media screenshots from neighbors, proving that one freezing winter night, Lena had been locked in the stable wearing only a thin shirt.

The next day, Wyatt drove to the county detention center.

He was soon face-to-face with Clara, who had just been released on bail.

The moment Clara saw him, her eyes welled up.

“Wyatt!”

She started toward him, her arms outstretched, ready to fall into his embrace.

But Wyatt took an involuntary step back, avoiding her.

Clara’s hands froze midair, her face a mask of shock.
