Chapter 540 But he hadn't expected things to take such a turn.

Citrine turned out to be the victim all along.

Despite what she'd suffered, she carried herself with remarkable strength, as if nothing could break her.

In front of them, a laptop screen was streaming the Watkins family's dinner party live.

After crying for what felt like ages, the girl finally pulled herself together and looked up at her mother, her voice thick with tears. "Mom, let's go report Dick right now. I want him to spend the rest of his life behind bars." Her mother nodded. "Alright, I'll get your wheelchair. Wait here." Glenwood Studios.

A beautiful woman sat clutching her phone, bawling her eyes out. Suddenly, in the midst of her tears, she started to laugh.

At the center of their living room, in the most prominent spot, sat a framed photograph of a young woman-their daughter.

Exchanging a look of grim determination, the husband said et s bring the evidence our gif left hind. This time, we're making sure that bastard goes to prison for her." "Let's go."
