Chapter 59 The Psychiatric Ward Is His Final Stop
It was Sloane who had found them, who told them the truth about the accident, who helped expose everything and bring justice. She even helped raise the money for their child’s surgery. And now, she’d said she could heal her husband’s leg.
She had saved their entire family.
Ms. Yvonne was so overwhelmed with gratitude she nearly fainted. Her words of thanks tumbled out on repeat as she groveled again and again.
Sloane saw blood already forming on her forehead from kneeling. She quickly pulled her up by force. “Living well from now on–that’s the best way to thank me.”
“You’ve already done more than enough. As for that Boone… just let it go,” Ms. Yvonne said softly. She didn’t want Sloane to feel pressured. Boone’s fate didn’t matter anymore. With people like that, rich and powerful, what could someone like her possibly do?
Sloane saw right through the forced calm in her voice and understood what she was really saying. “Don’t worry. He’s going to spend the rest of his life in a psychiatric hospital.”
Yvonne was stunned. Like most people online, she had assumed Boone was faking mental illness to avoid prison. That he’d lay low for a while, and once the public forgot, his family would pull some strings and whisk him back into his privileged life.
“You don’t need to worry about any of that,” Sloane said. “Just go home and ready for the surgery.”

Lena drove her back. Sloane sat in the back seat, silently watching the world pass by outside the window.
At first, she’d only approached this family to bring Boone down. But everything changed when she saw it with her own eyes–Yvonne praying outside the hospital, bowing four hours a day without fail, rain or shine, all for the sake of saving her child.
So that’s what real parental love looked like. Because of that, she had given them

It was a pill her master had spent three years crafting from countless rare ingredients. It could, in moments of life and death, activate the body’s healing potential, repairing damaged organs and cells.
If used correctly, it could bring someone back from the brink.
Sloane had used that miracle pill to strike a deal with Dr. Zander–convincing him to prioritize the child’s surgery.
This child had parents who would do anything for her. And because of that, Sloane was willing to help.
Then she thought of the Rivers family.
They would bleed her dry and toss her away without a second thought.
They had pulled every string imaginable to help Boone dodge justice. They could lavish love on Samantha, a girl with no blood ties to them at all–but somehow, they never had any love for her.
Sloane’s heart–long since frozen over–still throbbed with pain.
For someone like her, the idea of family love might always be a luxury too far out of reach.
When she returned to the Rivers estate, the whole family was gathered. Thinking their plan had gone off without a hitch, they were celebrating.
Helen saw her walk in and immediately sneered without even trying to hide it. “Boone is in the middle of a huge scandal and you’re out partying? A wild girl from the countryside really can’t be taught manners, can she?”
Conrad snorted coldly, “Sloane, I don’t need a heartless sister like you. If you’d just gone to Lucas, Boone wouldn’t have to suffer in some psychiatric hospital. This is all your fault,”
Adrian didn’t say a word, but the look in his eyes was sharp and distant as he stared at her.
