Chapter 282 I Beg You, Give Up Please

At this moment, Wendy saw in Emily how hatred could destroy a person.

Emily, who used to be so bright and sunny, had now lost all her vitality. Only hatred remained, becoming her sole reason to keep living.

Wendy was filled with regret.

Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Emily, please give up, okay? Just do it for yourself. Stop wasting your time on Cynthia."

"Why should I?"

Emily's emotions flared up, her voice rising several notches. "She's the one who ruined me like this. Why should I give up?"

Emily's eyes grew even redder as she glared at Wendy. "Are you going to side with her now, too? Don't forget, more than half of what happened to me is your fault!"

Wendy frantically shook her head. "That's not what I mean! How could I side with Cynthia? I hate her just as much as you do! But Emily... I don't want to keep watching you live in hatred. You're going to destroy yourself this way!"

"I'm already destroyed!" Emily's chest heaved violently. "I have nothing left to lose. Even if it costs me my life, I'm going to destroy Cynthia!"

Wendy couldn't help getting worked up, too. "But what if, even if you risk your life, you still can't touch Cynthia at all?"

"We've done so much, but what's happened? Cynthia is still perfectly fine, still Ms. Lockhart. Emily, we're no match for Cynthia. Please stop."

"Fine, if you won't help me!" Emily suddenly shouted. "I'll figure it out myself!"

With that, Emily slammed down the phone and wheeled herself away.

"Emily!"

Wendy called out desperately, but Emily couldn't hear her anymore as she turned and wheeled away.

All of Wendy's words were blocked by the glass. Beyond anxiety and heartache, there was nothing else she could do.

Only after Emily completely disappeared from view did Wendy collapse heavily into her chair, her face deathly pale.

It was her...

She had destroyed her own daughter step by step. She thought she could give Emily an enviable upper-class life, but Emily ended up despised by everyone and disabled for life.

Hot tears rolled down her face as Wendy was consumed with regret.

After leaving the prison, Emily's desire to kill Cynthia had reached its peak and could no longer be controlled.

While waiting for a ride by the roadside, the prison gate slowly opened, and a man walked out, unshaven and in poor condition.

The guard's voice came from behind. "Eldon! Live a good life after you get out!"

Eldon?

Those packages were sent by Eldon!

Emily excitedly wheeled toward him.

She brought up the photos directly and bluntly. Eldon was also surprised. When he learned that Emily's legs had been ruined because of Cynthia, he felt some sympathy for her.

But... more than that, he felt regret.

"Eldon, do you have any other dirt on Cynthia?" Emily couldn't wait any longer. This was what she needed most!

Eldon sighed. "I've already harmed my own daughter. I can't harm you, too."

"What do you mean?"

"The reason I sent those packages to Wendy was that I saw the news in prison about the marriage between the Winthrop family and the Lockhart family."

At this point, Eldon couldn't help but sigh. "I hate the Winthrop family, I hate that woman called Cynthia, because Augustus was supposed to be my daughter's husband! My daughter has loved him deeply since childhood! But him? He never gave my daughter a second glance. I thought he was just cold by nature until I saw his attitude toward Cynthia. He clearly has feelings! He deliberately ignored my daughter's devotion! But I'm the Winthrop family's benefactor! He can't treat me like this!"

"So when I found out Wendy used to be the Lockhart family's nanny, I wanted to use those photos to ruin Cynthia's reputation, to show Augustus what kind of woman he chose!"

As Eldon spoke, his eyes gradually reddened. "But I never expected this would drag Natalia into it. Back then, to protect her, I took responsibility and went to prison, sending her abroad to live a peaceful life. I didn't expect her to come back and personally reveal the truth about what happened years ago, landing herself in prison, ruining her future, making all my three years of sacrifice turn to nothing."

Eldon let out a heavy sigh.

Because Natalia's guilt had been established and the court ruled that the original accident had nothing to do with Eldon, they arrested Natalia and released Eldon.

But this wasn't what Eldon wanted. He would rather spend his whole life in prison than have Natalia, so young, spend the rest of her life behind bars.

But now, his regret came too late.

Emily didn't listen to a word of what Eldon said.

She only wanted Cynthia dead.

"I don't care about any of that! I just want to know, what other evidence do you have?"

Seeing Emily's obsessive state, Eldon shook his head helplessly. "I don't have any other evidence. Good luck to you."

With that, Eldon left.

Emily was left alone. Since no one would help her, she would figure it out herself!

Emily went to a secondhand shop and sold her last remaining luxury necklace, using all the money to buy a gun.

She made her way to Cynthia's school.
