Chapter 1423
[ 556 words ]
“This was what my mother looked like before she died. His affairs and domestic violence drove her into a severe depression that eventually killed her.”
Click, click, click-
The reporters held up their cameras, snapping endlessly.
The woman in the photo was emaciated, her face covered in bruises and scars.
Before her passing, her eyes were severely sunken.
She looked entirely devoid of hope, a sight that made everyone’s heart heavy.
“This file contains evidence of all the illegal activities he committed.”
Luella swiped her finger, slowly turning the pages.
The evidence wasn’t just text; it included horrific photos of the victims.
It was shocking to witness.
“A murderer, a political criminal, a violent abuser…” Luella’s pale lips trembled slightly as she suppressed her emotions, speaking calmly. “Shouldn’t he be in prison?”
The crowd exchanged glances, entirely speechless.
She was absolutely right.
“And as for my so-called stepmother and stepsister…” Luella continued. “They got arrested strictly because they brought it upon themselves.”
“I didn’t send them to prison. They did that on their own.”
“There’s no one else left in the family, which is why my half-brother came to seek refuge with me.”
Seek refuge?
The reporters looked at each other, finding the situation bizarre.
His father, mother, and biological sister were all arrested, and the younger brother wasn’t angry?
That wasn’t normal!
Could Luella be making things up just to save face?
“Ms. Langley, would it be possible for us to hear your brother’s thoughts?”
Spoken like true paparazzi—always possessed with the sharpest instincts for picking bones out of an egg.
“No.”
Luella’s gaze turned instantly freezing as she flatly refused. “My brother is still young. He does not do media interviews.”
Ruining her life was enough; now they wanted to ruin her brother’s too?
In their dreams!
The crowd started buzzing again, assuming Luella was feeling guilty and didn’t dare
let Jared show his face.
Just then.
Not far from the crowd, a crisp, childish voice suddenly rang out.
“If you want to bully my sister, you have to get through me first!”
“?”
Everyone turned around, only to see a boy around five years old, fists tightly
clenched, glaring at them with gritted teeth.
Jared?
Why was he here!
Luella looked at the housekeeper
nearby Cindy helplessly waved her hands. The little guy saw the news and insisted I bring him hered had no choice
He was as stubborn as a mule, screaming about protecting his sister.
“Is he Luella’s brother?”
The moment the reporter spoke, all cameras immediately swiveled to point at Jared.
Luella pulled Jared into her arms, shielding his little face, her tone strict. “Who allowed you to come running over here?”

“They were bullying you.” Jared trembled slightly from her scolding, his eyes welling with tears.
want to protect your Cop Sic!!?
Seeing the little boy’s tear-filled eyes, Luella’s heart melted. She rubbed his head
and said softly, “I’ll handle this.”
“Sis, I’m not afraid!”
།
Jared gently pushed Luella’s hand away and faced the dense crowd of reporters, bravely speaking up. o.Cour father bullied my sister ever since we were little He’s a bad man.”

“He locked my sister in a dark room and whipped her with a cane until she was covered in blood.”
“My sister’s left ear was beaten deaf by him.”
“Even if she hadn’t sent him to prison, I would have sent him there myself when I grew up!”
“Jared!”
Luella’s expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly covered his mouth.
She didn’t want Jimmie to know about her unbearable past.
What?
Ms. Langley is deaf in her left ear?
The crowd was completely stunned, and on the screen, Jimmie’s heart violently
seized.
