I don’t know how long it took, but Jackson was exhausted, and Phoebe was too weak to cry out. I calmly pronounced their sentence, “Jackson, you’ve been expelled from the Gideon Family.” “Your name is no longer in the Gideon family registry
Jackson’s eyes filled with shock and fear. “No way, my brother wouldn’t do this to me.” Seeing Jackson’s disbelief, I had the bodyguard show him the tablet.
The video showed Gideon announcing to the media that Jackson wasn’t a blood member of the Gideon Family. From now on, Jackson’s “Gideon” would no longer be Gideon’s “Gideon.”
Impossible, impossible.” Jackson muttered to himself, then seemed to think of something, “And Grandma, she wouldn’t do this to me.” I casually shattered Jackson’s fantasy, “Grandma won’t support you anymore.”
Hearing this, Jackson froze, then pleaded with me, “Avery, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong.” “Can you plead with my brother to spare me?”
“I truly know I was wrong.” I looked at him, slowly shaking my head, saying each word clearly, “Jackson, it’s impossible.”
I had the bodyguard drag Jackson out. Then I turned to Phoebe vibe
“Jackson, I’m not lying. If I was, why would I be pregnant with your child?” Jackson didn’t respond but continued to punch and kick Phoebe.

I sat on the chair, watching them exchange harsh words, watching Jackson’s one–sided assault on Phoebe. If Phoebe hadn’t added fuel to the fire, maybe my child could have been saved.
I hated them, but I knew this punishment was far from enough.

I had the bodyguard drag Jackson out. Then I turned to Phoebe, who was trembling and speechless.
“Phoebe, you know your fate better than I do, right?” Phoebe’s eyes filled with terror. She knelt before me, continuously kowtowing. “I’m sorry, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong.” “Spare me, don’t send me abroad, I beg you.”
Seeing Phoebe like this, I felt a rush of delight but also regret and sadness. If I had been more cautious, maybe my child wouldn’t have died. I ignored Phoebe, leaving without looking back.
Two years later, Gideon and I had our child safely in the hospital. A healthy little baby. Gideon also told me about Jackson and Phoebe’s final fate.
During his time as a young master, Jackson offended many. Without the Gideon Family’s protection, he lived miserably.
Unable to find work, he was set up and had his legs broken, forced to beg on the streets. Eventually, unable to endure it, he drowned himself.
Phoebe lived abroad very cautiously. She feared that anyone around her might be sent by the Gideon Family. But eventually, she fell into the Gideon Family’s trap.
She married an abusive man abroad. Afterward, she became addicted to drugs, and any pregnancies were ended violently. She died from beatings.

Gideon looked at me apologetically after telling me. I knew he felt guilty for not being able to save our child earlier. I said gently, “Gideon, it’s all in the past. Let’s live well as a family from now on.”
