Chapter 14
“Hush money, duh. You seriously don’t know?” The man looked at Connor mockingly, taking him for some sugar baby that Serena was keeping. “The rich lady you’re shacking up with pulled some seriously messed up shit to marry into the Mitchell family.“[]
“What kind of messed up shit?” Connor pressed.[]
The man grinned smugly. “When the Mitchell guy wasn’t around, she beat up his daughter right there on the street. My brother happened to be driving by, and the little girl was about to get back up when Serena’s kid pushed her down again. My brother couldn’t brake in time and just plowed right into her.
That little girl got thrown like ten feet. And Serena was clapping for her daughter the whole time.[]
My brother took the fall and went to prison, but it wasn’t a total loss. His dashcam caught everything that happened. He never turned it in–been using that footage to squeeze money out of Serena ever since.“]
Connor stared at the man’s boastful smile, his expression growing increasingly menacing. He fixed his gaze on the man like sharp ice daggers.
Seeing Connor’s expression, the man’s smile gradually faded and he instinctively stepped back. “Since Serena’s not here, I’ll just go.“|]
With one look from Connor, his bodyguards immediately stepped forward and restrained the man. Connor looked at him coldly. “Hand over the dashcam footage.”
“No way! I won’t!… Ahhhh!“]]
Before the man could finish speaking, Connor gave a signal and the bodyguard broke the man’s arm. The villa echoed only with the man’s agonized
screams.
“Hand over the dashcam footage.“]
Connor watched the man without batting an eye, each word carrying demonic ruthlessness.[]
The man didn’t dare struggle anymore and handed that to Connor.[]
The day of the accident, Connor had taken his daughter out to play and had also invited Serena and Emma along. He had some business to handle at the last minute, so he left his daughter with Serena.[]
Less than half an hour later, his daughter was in an accident.[]
At the time, he thought it was just an accident.[]
Now, watching the video of Serena beating and scolding his daughter, and seeing Emma push his daughter back into the middle of the road just as the car was approaching, Connor’s heart felt like it was being torn apart, filled with regret.[]
“Connor, we’re back” Just then, Serena walked into the house with Emma.[]
