“Look at what you did! Heidi nearly died because of you!”
I couldn’t help but laugh, the sound slicing through the room like a blade.
Seeing that I didn’t respond, Heidi suddenly let out a shrill scream.
“Julia, is it not enough that I’m leaving? Please don’t hurt me or the baby anymore… I never should have made you angry…”
She even tried to kneel by my bed, her pitiful act almost enough to make Caleb crumble.
I remained expressionless.
I simply watched their performance with icy amusement.
Caleb finally lost his patience.
“Julia, you still refuse to admit your mistakes. Stay here and reflect. After the press conference, I’ll reconsider our marriage. My family does not need a heartless woman.”
With that, he guided Heidi out without looking back.
Just before disappearing from view, Heidi cast a glance over her shoulder. Her eyes gleamed with arrogance and triumph, the clear declaration lingering in her gaze.
This time, I won.
I didn’t even bother looking at them as I reached out and shut the door.
The next morning, I began executing my plan.
There were three hours left until the Caleb family’s press conference.
In three hours, his family’s business would begin its freefall.
