Chapter 9
Just moments after Myles had been lying unconscious, spitting blood, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He wiped the fake blood from his mouth and stood up.
“When the paternity test was done, Myles actually used Cory’s blood, which is why it matched Brad’s, but not Rida’s.”
Brad and Rida looked at Myles, who was now
shielded behind Cory, and in that moment, they
understood the truth.
“You two actually teamed up to deceive us!”

Myles silently stood up.
“Aunt Felia had already explained everything to
me before I came back.”
“When I found out the truth, I was actually
happy.”
“I finally understood that my mom didn’t love me, not because I wasn’t good enough, but because she thought I wasn’t her child.”
The two children supported each other as they walked to the front, protecting me with a knightly stance.
“Aunt Felia and Brother Cory told me that I am worthy of love.”

“The money I sent you from my work, you gave it all to Brother Cory, right? Actually, Brother Cory never took a penny. He saved it in a card and gave that card back to me.”
I looked at Cory and Myles, feeling a sense of
relief.
I was grateful that despite all the years of abuse, Myles had not grown into a demon.
Instead, under Cory’s guidance, he had become a grateful and kind child.
All those years I secretly cared for Myles were
not in vain.
Once Brad knew the truth, he suddenly realized the significance of the shares that had been

transferred to Cory and the divorce agreement that had been signed in front of everyone.
Brad finally understood that he had lost everything.
Without warning, he charged at me like a madman.
“You’ve deceived me all these years! I’m going to kill you!”
Cory and Myles stood firmly in front of me.
But the police were faster, quickly pinning Brad to the ground.
Brad struggled in resistance, shouting at me in
fury.

“You should be honored to be the mother of
Rida’s son! Why did you take back the child?”
“You ruined everything!”
The fire in his eyes seemed like it could
consume me.
“How have I wronged you?”
“This was all your plan from the beginning,
wasn’t it?”
“This is all your doing!”
Rida kept shaking her head, unable to believe it.
“It’s impossible… Cory is my child!”

“How could I have abused my own child for all these years?”
“This must be a lie, I only wanted a good life for
Brad’s son!”
Seeing Myles’s cold expression, Rida’s grip on sanity snapped.
“I abused my own son!”
“Myles! My son! Mommy is sorry, come to me…”
She staggered towards Myles.
But Myles turned his head away.
“Officer, please stop her. I’m afraid she’ll harm

Aunt Felia.”
The police quickly restrained Rida, but she
didn’t struggle. Instead, her eyes were fixed on Myles as she mumbled.
“I harmed my son…”
“Myles, my son…”
Rida had gone mad.
In the end, Rida was sentenced to prison for
child abuse.
After being imprisoned, she requested to meet
Myles.
Myles refused.

He had someone bring a painting.
The painting depicted young Myles, covered in bruises, hiding in a dark corner, with the words written beside it: “My mother brought me darkness.”
Rida, already unstable, was driven to madness by the sight of the painting.
The next day, she hung herself in prison.
Brad didn’t fare much better. He lost everything -money, status–and eventually became a beggar on the streets.
As for me, I began a new life.

All these years, I had lived for revenge.
Now, it was time to live for myself.
