Liora slapped Mandy’s hand and asked, her anger barely restrained, “It was you, right?”
Without hesitation, Mandy admitted, “Yes, it was me! I reported them! I gathered the evidence! What? Is that not
acceptable?”
Liora looked at Mandy as if she were a stranger before slapping her face. “They’re your family!”
Clutching her face, Mandy gazed up and questioned with a smile, “Family? My father sent me overseas as a child to
fend for myself, all for his own status. Can he truly be called family?”
And as for her half-brother, Chadwick, what sort of person was he?
Prison was the only fitting punishment for them!
When Liora contemplated the prospect of her lover and Chadwick facing prison and the potential downfall of

She revealed a decades-old secret, “Mandy, Chadwick is your biological brother!”
Mandy widened her eyes upon hearing Liora’s revelation and glanced at Chadwick. Her real brother? Did she mean
the kind who shared both parents with her?
Chadwick turned his gaze from Richard to Liora and asked coldly, “What are you saying?”
Marcus approached the Pendletons and sneered. “Pendleton, what a romantic you are, willing to sacrifice your
reputation for the woman you love!”
Richard surveyed the Quills, Fosters, Lockwoods, and others from smaller families that relied on him. He
understood that his days were numbered. He had not anticipated such a complete defeat. He had been under the

Marcus interrupted him sternly, “Pendleton, you already possess everything that countless people can only dream
of in their lifetimes. Why did you have to resort to such actions?”
“What do you know?” Richard appeared ready to confront his impending fate. He continued. “You were born with a
silver spoon in your mouth and can never understand me. To the victor go the spoils! I accept full responsibility! But
my actions had nothing to do with my two children or her!”
Marcus looked at Richard with unwavering righteousness. “The law will deliver a fair judgment.”
Jolene had panicked when the police appeared.

She had wanted to rush to Chadwick and confront this sudden turn of events alongside him. However, when she
learned of Chadwick’s involvement in drug production and trafficking, her legs felt as heavy as lead.
‘It can’t be true! It has to be a mistake! Chadwick is my savior. How could he be involved in drug trafficking? No, it
can’t be!’ she thought.
Chadwick knew of her intense aversion to drug traffickers and her hatred of drugs. How could he?
Jolene hurried forward to shield Chadwick and asked tremblingly, “Chadwick, is it true? Are you really a drug
trafficker?”
Chadwick remained silent. He never expected that he—the number one bachelor in Capitus—would find himself in
this situation.
“Jolene!” Chadwick looked at the elegantly dressed Jolene with indifference. “Do you truly believe I’m your savior?”
Subconsciously touching her abdomen, Jolene nervously asked, “What… What do you mean?”
