Simone took a deep breath.
“But you have to promise that you would never show your face in Damoria ever again.”
Leah felt a little conflicted.
First of all, she didn’t know whether the woman really was going to help her.
Secondly, she never had any interaction with the woman in front of her, so why would the other woman help her? What’s more, she also destroyed Simone’s family.
“Thank you, Ms.Balkan.However, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Simone glanced at her disdainfully, “So, are you planning to repay him with your body time and time again?”
Leah’s face turned stark white as she tried to defend herself, “No! I had no intention of doing that.I don’t want to continue destroying your family.I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Simone didn’t want to hear her nonsense and pulled out a card from her bag.
“There’s 300 thousand in the card, which should be enough to take care of your child.
I’m sure that this amount should be more than enough to ensure that your child will grow up healthy.”
Simone pushed the card into Leah’s hands, “Take it.You don’t have to be shy.”
Leah felt a little embarrassed, but she still considered it.
When she thought about her child that hadn’t even turned three, she gritted her teeth and swallowed her pride before taking the card.
“Thank you, Ms.Balkan.I’ll definitely repay you when I get the chance.”
Simone waved her off wearily.
“I can tell you’re not the same as the other women who lust after the Damazio Family’s estate.That’s the only reason I’m willing to talk things out with you.But be warned that after taking this money, I don’t want to see you and your child in any disputes regarding the Damazio Family’s inheritance.I have no interest in seeing an illegitimate child showing up at our doorstep in the future.”
Leah suddenly laughed.
“Thank you, then.You can rest assured that I have no intention of letting my child reconnect with his father.”
“All right.It’s getting late.I’ll get going now.”
Just as Simone turned to leave, she suddenly heard a pained scream behind her. thuy bao She immediately peeked around the corner and saw Leah, who was on the ground.
Judging from her injury, she was stabbed and unconscious due to blood loss.
Aman stood by her, holding the card.
“They sent me to kill Landon Damazio’s wife.I’m really sorry, little lady.”
The man looked at the card in his hand and guffawed.
“It’s great.She, indeed, is such a rich wife.There’s quite a pretty penny in here.”
He turned to leave just as he was monologuing.
Simone, in her anxiety, accidentally slipped on a stone, making a small sound.
The man turned back quickly, thinking that he had been had, and yelled, “Who’s there?!”
Simone covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.She didn’t even dare to breathe.
When she noticed the man walking towards her, Simone’s head began to spin, and she mewed softly.She didn’t know if the man believed it, but the footsteps stopped not far away from her huddled form.
“Oh, it’s just a cat.It scared me for a moment there.”
The man turned away, kicking a stone with a lighthearted chuckle.His tensed form immediately eased.
So, Simone waited around the corner until she couldn’t hear him anymore.
Then, she muttered to herself, “It was an assassination targeted at me.If it weren’t because Leah…I would probably be the one unconscious on the ground right now.”
Shocked and afraid, Simone was worried that the man would come back again.
In a state of panic, she forgot to dial 911 and fled the scene hastily.
As her senses gradually returned upon reaching home, she suddenly realized that Leah might still be lying there.
At that moment, it had become too late to contact the authorities.
Furthermore, if she were to reach out to the authorities, they would likely trace the incident back to Simone, which would then expose the Damazio Family scandal one after another.
To safeguard herself, she ultimately decided to conceal this matter.
In the subsequent days, she observed that her husband appeared visibly unsettled.
However, she remained oblivious to the cause of his distress.
Now that she had remembered, she realized it must be because of what happened back then.
Simone snapped back to reality and looked at Slevin before her, feeling a bit flustered.
“I’m truly sorry.”
“What’s the use of apologizing now? Can an apology bring my mother back to life?” Slevin sneered.
“And let’s not forget, my mother died because of you.Have you never felt any guilt all these years while enjoying your happiness?”
She lowered her head, her voice filled with panic.
“It’s not like that, my child.I’ve suffered every night for so many years, regretting why I didn’t call the police back then.If I had done so, I could have saved your mother’s life.”
“So, why didn’t you call the police back then?” He looked her up and down with a face full of disdain.
“Because you were concerned and afraid.Afraid of taking responsibility; afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Damazio Family, isn’t that right? You are indeed a worthy daughter-in-law-so worthy that you lack a trace of conscience.”
After he finished talking, he took a deep breath.
These words had been rehearsed in Slevin’s mind for all these years.
Today, these words finally found their way out.
What followed was a sense of relief and satisfaction.
“Simone, rest assured.I have no interest in the wealth of the Damazio Family.However, don’t take my words lightly.I’ll never let anyone in your family go, including your precious son.Can you guess what my intention was in bringing Yelena back? It was certainly to make your beloved son drown in pain.Also, I am not oblivious to the fact that your son wasn’t infected with the epidemic at all.He’s terminally ill and on the brink of death.Your son is enduring the pain on your behalf, Simone.Oh, Simone, you’re truly fortunate.First, my mother died for you, and now your son is paying the price for your actions.”
Simone panicked.
“Enough, please stop!”
Slevin approached her and grabbed her neck, his tone harsh as he asked, “Enough? I haven’t finished yet.Simone, do you know I wish I could strangle you right now?”
At first, she struggled to catch her breath and struggled, but as soon as she thought of Leah, she immediately calmed down.
“If you hate me so much, then go ahead and strangle me.If it brings you solace or saves my son and the Damazio Family, I’m willing to bear that burden.”
Simone’s face flushed crimson as if on the verge of suffocation.
Slevin, of course, was not willing to let her off so easily.He abruptly released his grip, causing her to be thrown onto the couch.
“When do you think you have the right to decide when to die? I haven’t had enough fun yet.You seem to be too naive if you can trade your life for the lives of your son and the Damazio Family.”
He retrieved a tissue from the table and wiped his hands as though he had touched something disgusting.
