Chapter35
I tried my best and finally escaped, and then I threatened Peter I’d go to the police with proof. Only then did he have some restraint.
Then he found himself unable to have kids anymore, and Levi was his only son. So, he didn’t try to hurt Levi again.
However, Peter wasn’t cut out for business, and he had lost a fortune over the years.
So, he set his eyes on my mom’s inheritance.
They couldn’t kill me. However, as long as I married Antonio, who was in love with Roxanne, and gave birth to an heir, they’d have the money.
Roxanne wasn’t exactly a decent woman. Peter and Elise sent her abroad to find herself a rich husband, but she ended up becoming infertile due to screwing around.
They had no choice but to use lung cancer to cover it up, tricking Antonio into marrying me and making me pregnant. Little did they know that Antonio would be at the hotel that night and hear everything.
My bestie told me what happened after I left.
Antonio went crazy after I disappeared from the wedding six months ago.
After knowing the truth, he beat Roxanne into a coma and

disfigured her.
Elise and Peter threatened him, saying they’d put him in jail. In response, he exposed the facts that Peter had been cooking the books and bribing over the years.
Also, it was also Peter’s idea to build the castle and have Antonio propose to Roxanne. The reason was he colluded with a local profiteer and wanted to mine privately.
Peter totally panicked after knowing he was exposed.
He ran away overnight, leaving Elise and Roxanne behind.
Elise had always rubbed in my mom’s nose that she was the love of Peter’s life. Yet when she woke up in the morning, she found the villa empty.
Instantly, she was flustered and angry.
Unfortunately, Peter had kept her over the years, and she was basically a good–for–nothing. What was worse, Roxanne needed tens of thousands of dollars for her medical treatment.
Elise had to borrow money from those men she had been with when she was young. However, a lot of them were already married when they were together and she only got to be their mistress because of her pretty face.
Therefore, now that she was in misery, no one helped her at all. Instead, she was utterly tortured and humiliated.
She didn’t get to borrow a penny and was almost taken by a human trafficker. Cornered, she could only ask Antonio for compensation.

But Antonio was set to ruin all three of them.
He gave all his assets to me unconditionally the day he attacked Roxanne. When the police caught him, he was already broke.
Elise, having no way out, totally freaked out.
She didn’t exactly love Roxanne that much, so she brought Roxanne home when Roxanne was still severely injured.
Roxanne, who woke up and found herself disfigured, couldn’t accept it and cursed Elise for being selfish and disgusting.
During their quarrel, she accidentally pushed Elise off the 13th- floor balcony, and Elise died.
After that, Roxanne went crazy.
She spent all day picking up garbage to eat in the neighborhood without wearing any clothes.
In the end, the property management staff couldn’t take it anymore. They put clothes on her and, together with the police, took her to a mental hospital.
Peter thought he got away with it, but he didn’t know the profiteer he was in cahoots had been locked up before. After things went down, he asked Peter for compensation.
Peter blocked his number.
Of course, the profiteer wouldn’t accept it.
He found a Pl and knew where Peter was hiding.
Then he hired a dozen beefy men to grab Peter and sell him to

the high seas.
With money from selling Peter’s organs, he got the compensation he wanted bit by bit.
But almost as soon as he received the money, the cops, who had always been keeping an eye on him, took him away.
Antonio, who had been giving the cops tips, was eventually sentenced to three years in prison.
After telling me the whole story, my bestie sighed and said earnestly, “That’s why we should keep our hands off bad deeds. See? Karma never lets anyone get away.”
I smiled, tasted a slice of mousse, and echoed, “Indeed.”
Seeing how calm I was, she said, quite gossipy, “You have no idea. Antonio almost went crazy looking for you that day. He asked everyone who knew you, and when he found out you went to Antarctica, he was completely heartbroken.
“Jerks are always like this, only regretting it after losing what they should cherish.”
Nodding, I sneered, “He’s a typical jerk. Don’t bring him up again. It’s bad luck.”
Antonio was my mom’s student.
His family wasn’t well off, but he had good grades and was very talented in calligraphy.
My mom was a student of a famous calligrapher.
She saw Antonio’s talent in a calligraphy competition, accepted

him as her student, and even helped him through high school.
Back then, he was a straight–A student and also the school hunk.
I had a big crush on him, and he took care of me.
And he knew about Roxanne and Elise wrecking my mom’s marriage. At first, he resented Roxanne and felt bad for me. When I was bullied, he’d step up and accuse Roxanne.
But after they went to a summer camp together, he was like a different person.
I was supposed to go to the summer camp, too.
Yet before we set off, I got allergic somehow and had a high fever. So I had to be hospitalized.
