Chapter 835: Chapter 834

Jack promptly sent over several vintage videos. They were grainy and aged, but you could still make out the genders of the people on screen. Then Jack shot through some documents, including screenshots of bank transfers and more.

"Boss, this is as clear as day - we’ve got a case of a mistress ordering a hit. Carol’s mom was taken out by this homewrecker. Are we gonna do something about it?"

Rosemary sifted through all the documents before grasping the full picture.

It had been Crystal Temple’s birthday, and both families had planned a fun-filled day at the amusement park. But Carol’s family of four got there first. Later, tragedy struck when Crystal’s family got into a car accident, and Carol’s mom rushed to help.

Lurking in the distance was a truck, eyeing the scene, but the busy street and the crowd deterred any direct action. If things escalated, there would surely be an investigation.

The woman who had accidentally hit Crystal’s family was fraught with guilt and fear, insisting on taking them to the hospital.

Then, the moment presented itself. The truck suddenly switched lanes, accelerated, and plowed straight toward them. The woman driver didn’t stand a chance - she was killed instantly.

Only after going through the files did Rosemary learn that the truck driver, diagnosed with a terminal illness, had been offered a million to ram into someone. Desperate due to poverty and medical debts plaguing his family, he chose to trade his life for money to provide them with a better future. The one

who funded the hit was Carol’s current stepmother - Maureen.

She thought she had covered her tracks perfectly, not realizing that even the most meticulous plans have flaws.

Initially, Maureen paid the truck driver 100 grand as a down payment, promising the remaining 900 grand upon completion. But since the driver died at the scene, leaving no witnesses, his family waited over a decade without seeing the rest of the money.

That was the money the driver had traded his life for, but Maureen refused to pay up. She knew that for something like this, they couldn’t just go to the police. They had to swallow the bitter pill in silence.

Fearing Maureen might renege on the deal, the truck driver had secretly saved all the records of his communications with Maureen, leaving them to his family.

Now, with a family member critically ill and in dire need of cash, the matter slowly surfaced. The documents revealed that to rid herself of this family, Maureen was already seeking a hitman.

Rosemary couldn’t believe that to become the lady of the Brooks family, that woman could harbor such malicious intentions.

Although Carol’s birth mother didn’t die on the spot, she was left permanently disabled. With Carol sent to an orphanage and her brother Dennis sold to a rural village, their mother died of illness, unable to find her children.

And all the hardships Carol later endured could be traced back to this woman!! If it weren’t for her hiring a hitman, none of this would have happened!!

At that moment, the Brooks family was in the midst of a heated argument.

"You clearly know that girl from LY, why won’t you help out your sister? It’s just a matter of speaking up! Is it really that hard?" Maureen was fuming.

The stepsister Katherine sat on the couch, her eyes brimming with tears, looking every bit the picture of pitiable distress.

Carol remained unmoved, her voice chilly as she spoke, "It’s her own fault for plagiarizing LY’s designs. She made her bed; now she has to lie in it."

"It was just a coincidence!" Maureen insisted, trying to downplay the situation, "There’s no need to call it plagiarism. That sounds so ugly."

"If you don’t like it, then don’t copy in the first place."

Katherine, standing off to the side, seemed to shrink under the weight of the accusation, as if the similarity to LY’s designs was a mere accident, not a deliberate act.
