"I told her she had to choose between Jasper and Simone Lerman," Haynes said.


    Abbyughed. "Well, look at you, finally doing the right thing."


    Haynes was silent.


    Although Rachel had been rescued and had recovered after a period of recuperation, her once-beautiful face had been badly disfigured from the long torment she endured at Simone''s hands.


    The wounds on her face, left untreated for too long, had be red, swollen, and infected. After they healed, they left behind terrifying scars.


    Jasper, who had once seen Rachel as a goddess, was so horrified by her appearance that he couldn''t even sleep at night.


    Having been pampered since childhood, Jasper was now not only disgraced but also drowning in debt. The wealthy friends who used to flock around him had all turned their backs. Not only did none of them help, but they all kicked him while he was down.


    Haynes no longer helped him, and even Foreman had cut ties with him for what he''d done to Ste.


    When Rachel first said she wanted to find him, Jasper had been happy, feeling that his love hadn''t been misced. But upon seeing her terrifying face, he nearly lost his mind. The idealized image he had of her shattered in an instant.


    With the Wilkinson family bankrupt, Rachel didn''t want to be with the penniless Jasper either. But she had no choice.


    So, Rachel did everything she could to cling to Jasper. To ensure he could never get rid of her, she even yed the victim, iming that Simone had caused her to have a miscarriage.


    Jasper could barely take care of himself, let alone worry about a child. He continued to avoid her at all costs.


    Rachel, deciding to go all in, drugged Jasper and got pregnant with his child. It didn''t matter if Jasper didn''t want to take responsibility; his parents would never let the Wilkinson family line die out.


    Sure enough, when Jasper''s parents found out Rachel was pregnant, they forced him to marry her.


    With her face disfigured and unable


    to y the violin anymore, Rachel spent her days at home, not


    working just waiting for the baby to be born Jasper having made. many enemies in the past, couldn''t find a job anywhere and was forced to be a delivery driver


    A yearter, Rachel''s child was born. As time went on, Jasper noticed that the child


    looked nothing like him, but more and more like their neighbor.


    Suspicious, Jasper secretly did a DNA test and discovered the child was indeed not his. He exploded.


    He had been working as a delivery


    driver, raising another man''s child all


    this time. At the same time, he also


    found out that Rachel was often cheating on him with the guy next door while he was out making


    sto


    deliveries.  t


    Cuckolded and tricked into being a father, Jasper''s rage boiled over. He stabbed the


    neighbor to death. He didn''t escape thew and was sentenced to life in prison.


    Rachel thought that with Jasper


    gone, she could live freely. However,


    she had forgotten about her disfigured face and her body, which


    had be bloated after childbirth. Even when she tried to find a job fins ga


    a cleaner, her appearance woul frighten people. Besides, she wasn''t willing to do manualbor.


    She tried to find Haynes, but by then, she had long lost the right to see him. She


    couldn''t even get close before being stopped.


    And so, Rachel was forced to survive by rummaging through trash cans, bing


    a homeless beggar on the city streets.


    Of course, all of this came muchter.
