Chapter 130 Unreliable People Around Her
Over’s furious roar echoed across the cold iron bars. His veins bulged as he glared at the woman who had wrecked his life and hurt Carnifa. He looked like he wanted to rip her apart
“You venomous snaker Owens voice was hoarse, filled with rage erupting from the depths of his soul. At that moment, he was like a wild beast pushed to the brink
However, Agnes tilted her head back and laughed even louder, her disheveled appearance making her look like a demon basking in chaos
Once, Owen was a hotshot lawyer in Sancho, full of ambition and promise. Back then, he was a valuable asset to Agnes, who played the role of a sweet and gentle woman to manipulate him.
But now, Owen was confined to a wheelchair, his legs crippled. He wore cheap, wrinkled clothes. His complexion was sallow, and the sour stench of unwashed filth clung to him like a shadow.
To someone as selfish and calculating as Agnes, Owen was worthless now. She would never bother pretending to care courteously
She said, “If you weren’t so hopelessly stupid, you wouldn’t have been so easy to use. It’s not my fault. You’ve got no one to blame but yourself for being blind and dumb!
“Let me guess. Camila must have told you herself that she was the one who helped you back then, not me, right?”
She paused, her lips curling into a cruel smile before continuing. “I bet she’s completely heartbroken and disappointed in you. No matter how much you begged, she refused to forgive you, didn’t she?”
With that, Agnes clutched her stomach and let out a shrill, mocking laugh. “Oh, how pitiful you are!”
Agnes had always been selfish to the core. Now that she was down and out, she found twisted satisfaction in dragging others into her misery. And Owen, who was no longer useful to her, became the perfect outlet for her frustrations.
She unleashed all the pent–up negativity in her heart, pouring it onto Owen without holding back. As she watched his face twist with anger, guilt, and regret, a twisted sense of satisfaction surged within her
Owen gripped the iron bars tightly, shaking them with such force that it seemed they might snap. His eyes burned with fury as he spat, “You venomous bitch! You’ll die a miserable death!”
He recalled the days when Agnes deceived him. He had squandered Camila’s hard–earned money to please Agnes and even sent Camila to prison for five years because of her. The regret gnawed at him like a swarm of ants, leaving him in unbearable torment
“Die a miserable death? I’m the heiress of the Jackson Group! My parents and brother adore me. They’ll do whatever it takes to get me out of here, Agnes declared, lifting her chin with disdain.
Owen’s face contorted at her words, but he quickly sneered. “The heiress of the Jackson Group? You? What a joke. Oh, haven’t you heard? The Jackson Group is bankrupt
“Your brother’s been arrested, and your parents pissed off Mr. Campbell, the CEO of the Campbell Group. Their legs are broken, and they are barely surviving. Do you really think they’d have the time or energy to care about a washed–up fake heiress like you?”
After Owen said those words, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Agnes had tormented him, and now it was his turn to strike back. He expected her face to show shock, anxiety, and a mix of other emotions.
But to his surprise, Agnes didn’t react with shock or panic. Instead, she looked at him with a faint, mocking smile and said,” Their bankruptcy has nothing to do with me. My real parents are billionaires. Do you think they’d let me rot in here?” Owen’s expression instantly stiffened. He fixed his gaze on Agnes, as if trying to see through her facade and catch her in a
“Cut the crap. If your so–called real parents were that powerful, why’d they dump you with the Jackson family for so long?” he retorted, his voice laced with bitterness.
Agnes’s lips curled into a contemptuous smirk. “You think I wanted to stay at the Jackson residence? It was all part of my parents‘ plan.”
“What plan?” Owen pressed, his curiosity overriding his anger
Leaning back in her chair with a relaxed demean if he were a f fool. “Trying to get me to spill the details? You’re giving yourself way too much c Successfully unlocked! vere wasted on Camila
“Do you even understand why I chose you as my use anye wack win? It was because you were her childhood sweetheart, not because of your talent. Only by having you send Camila to prison could I truly crush her“:
Agnes’s voice brimmed with arrogance. “Otherwise, do you think a clueless fresh grad like you was even remotely qualified to represent someone like me, the Jackson family’s heiress?
Chapter 1301 Develoable
“Let’s be real I could’ve hired any lawyer and still won that case. Anyone else would’ve become an overnight sensation in Sancho because of it
“You really think you’re something special? Even a broken clock is right twice a day. You wern just riding on the Jackson family’s coattails. Did you actually believe your success was all your own?
“Honestly, sometimes I almost feel sorry for Camila How did the get so unlucky? Her mother was blinded by love Her father was a shameless opportunist. Her brother was unreliable, and you, her childhood friend, repaid her kindness with betrayal
“Camila’s suffering and wrongful imprisonment weren’t my fault. It was you, the people closest to her, who led her into this mess, one step at a time.”
Agnes never thought she was wrong. In her mind, she was simply fighting for her own survival in a ruthless, dog–eat–dog world.
She thought, If those people had been clearer and trusted Camila more, how could they let a few of my words sway them so easily? Camila and I aren’t even related by blood, so why should I give up everything just because she came back?
If I crushed Camila, the true heiress, underfoot, it was because I was capable. If Camila were capable, she could do the
same to me!
With her arms crossed, Agnes watched Owen with amusement, enjoying the mix of emotions flickering across his face. There was hatred for Agnes and regret for Camila on his face, but not the slightest hint of guilt for his own actions. “Shut up! Shut your mouth!” Owen yelled, his voice cracking as he descended into madness.
His bloodshot eyes bulged with rage. “Agnes, you’re nothing but a devil. You used me. You’re the one who ruined everything!”
I
“A devil?” Agnes sneered. “This world is survival of the fittest. I just did what I had to for my gain. Weren’t you the one after my looks and prestige? If not, why would you ignore Camila’s genuine love for you?
“Sure, I used you, but I never forced you to spend Camila’s money on designer brands or pretend to be some rich kid at school.”
She scoffed, her gaze piercing through him like a dagger. “You knew everything, didn’t you? You knew Camila was slapped. forced to kneel, stabbed with needles, and had her legs broken in prison. Yet you just stood there and did nothing.” Her words hit Owen like a sledgehammer, shattering the fragile walls of his denial. He couldn’t refute her because deep down, he knew she was right. Back then, his vanity had clouded his judgment, leading him to commit unforgivable mistakes.
Camila had been a star during their high school years. Her brilliance was so dazzling that it completely overshadowed him. A seed of jealousy had taken root in his heart, and all he wanted was to dim her light, just a little.
He thought she was just a girl, and there was no point in such ambition. In the end, she would still have to marry, have children, and become a housewife.
He had the ability to earn money and support her, so she didn’t need to aim so high.
He buried those thoughts, telling himself he wasn’t wrong, even though he knew others would despise him if they knew. So, he stood by and watched as others bullied Camila, never lifting a finger to stop them.
He thought that once the world had worn down her sharp edges, he would step in at the right moment, offering her warmth and comfort. By then, Camila would only have to rely on him, abandoning her dreams of becoming a scholar, mentor, or professor.
He convinced himself that breaking her wings was for her own good, a way to shield her from life’s hardships. He would be her safe harbor, providing for her and loving her. He believed that was enough.
What he never expected was the unimaginable suffering Camila endured in prison. Despite everything, she refused to give in. Her stubbornness drove him insane. Not only did she reject relying on him, but she also grew to loathe him.
They had spent over a decade together in the orphanage, sharing a deep bond. Yet when Camila decided to cut ties with him, she did so without hesitation. To Owen, her coldness felt like a betrayal.
And now, she had found a random guy who clearly had a penchant for violence and was even carrying his child. He understand how she could be so shameless.
in’t
He despised Camila for her foolishness, but his hatred for Agnes was even stronger, knowing she had manipulated him. If it hadn’t been for Agnes’s interference, things between him and Camila wouldn’t have ended up like this.
