Cheating 115

    Kate, still recovering from her serious illness, was immediately knocked to the ground,


    Her palm identally pressed against ss shards from a cup that had shattered in the chaos. Blood soaked through her loose hospital gown as she gasped from the pain.


    Just then, James finally rushed over.


    He threw a stack of documents at Derek’s face, his voice cold as ice. “See for yourself!”


    Derek suspiciously took the documents, and was stunned after just one nce.


    He slowly pushed Ashley away from his arms.


    Staring at her intently, he asked, “The kidnapping – you nned it?”


    Ashley opened her mouth, somewhat panicked, and quickly exined, “It wasn’t me! How could it be me? Derek, I’m carrying our child – how could I risk both our lives to frame Kate?”


    But Derekughed, a very sarcasticugh, then viciously threw that stack of documents on the ground.


    “Ashley, you’ve been lying to me all this time!”


    Ashley finally panickedpletely.


    She frantically grabbed at Derek’s sleeve begging for mercy, but Derek was too furious to listen to anything. He shook off her grip and


    strode out.


    Ashley was thrown to the ground, clutching her stomach in agony.


    James gave her one cold look then helped Kate back inside.


    After Ashley miscarried, she tried to find Derek several more times, but was stopped by bodyguards each time. They said Mr. Stone had given orders – no one from the Park family was to be seen.


    Ashley hadpletely lost Derek’s heart.


    With nowhere else to turn, she could only kneel in front of Stone Group, tearfully recounting her years of devotion to Derek.


    From their first meeting at age three to her crush at six, from confessing at ten to dating at fifteen.


    She talked until Derek finally couldn’t stand it anymore and came out. Her eyes lit up, but she received a legal notice instead.


    “I’ve had mywyer file charges for your kidnapping of Kate.”


    “Ashley, enjoy prison.”


    When Kate’s parents learned what their daughter had been through this time, they were so angry they wanted to confront Derek immediately.


    But Kate stopped them. “I’ve already submitted evidence to prosecute Derek for tax evasion. The local court will hear the case soon, and he’ll get what’sing to him.”

    She didn’t want her parents dragged into this mess too.


    But her parents were determined. “Not just tax evasion hemitted marriage fraud too! He lied to you for so many years. <b>If </b>not for him, you might havee back to us long ago and lived happily with James!”


    Talking about this made the elderly couple grit their teeth in anger.


    Kate fell silent, because what her parents said made perfect sense.


    If not for that ident and car crash years ago, her life trajectory would have beenpletely different.


    Derek had already been summoned to court. Having lived with him for years, Kate had collectedprehensive evidence that left him with no way out.


    He was sentenced to prison and ordered to return all state assets within a time limit.


    At this point, Sullivan Group and the Hayes family joined forces toprehensively target all of Stone Group’s business and partnerships. Every deal they tried to make, the Sullivans would intercept, while also exposing Stone Group’s misdeeds to the world.


    After several rounds of this, no one would work with Stone Group anymore.


    Sullivan Group had always been on par with Stone Group anyway, and now with Stone Group’s reputation in tatters, people naturally turned to Sullivan Group instead.


    For a time, James and Kate were making money hand over fist.


    Derek was locked away in prison without seeing daylight, visibly wasting away.


    Until one day, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing by.


    He immediately threw himself against the bars, asking in disbelief, “Who was that woman just now?!”


    Someone in the know said, “You don’t know her? That chick got busted for kidnapping. Word is she’s doing hard time for years. Damn shame – pretty young thing like that throwing her life away.”


    Derek burst intoughter.


    “Good! Excellent!”


    “She finally got hereuppance! Hahaha, Ashley! You ruined my marriage and family, and now you’re finally getting what you


    deserve!”


    No one paid attention to him. The other inmates all thought he’d lost his mind.


    James and Kate’s rtionship grew more stable. In the spring, Kate was confirmed pregnant.


    When they were shopping for baby supplies, they ran into Derek, who had escaped from prison.


    “Kate! Kate!”


    When Derek rushed up to them, Kate was startled.


    The man before her had a messy beard, prominent cheekbones, and a frighteningly gaunt face<b>. </b>He no longer had any of his former handsome appearance.


    She instinctively took a disgusted step back, but Derek was extremely excited and tried to grab her hand. “Kate, about the kidnapping <f35> Content originallyes from </f35>


    I’ve figured it all out. You didn’t do it. Ashley did!”


    “I had Ashley prosecuted. She’s been arrested and is locked up right next to me. Kate, I got revenge for your


    After his incoherent rambling, he stared eagerly at Kate like a child waiting for praise.


    But Kate’s frown only deepened as she coldly pulled her hand away, “So what?”


    Derek was stunned, then saw Kate looking at him withplete mockery. “Do you still think I’ll forgive you at this point? Derek, are you crazy or do you think I am?”


    Derek shook his head in anguish, tears streaming down his face. “Kate, I really regret everything. Can you wait for me? When <b>I </b>get out of prison, I’lle find you…”


    “Don’t bother looking for me when you get out. We’re impossible.”


    Kate’s tone was t. Then she shook the bag in her hand. “Haven’t you noticed what kind of store I was just shopping in?”


    Derek’s pupils slowly focused as he clearly saw Kate was, carrying baby supplies.


    He was thunderstruck. “You… you’re pregnant?”


    “Whose is it? Is it mine?” He looked at Kate hopefully.


    James frowned and pulled Kate behind him, thoroughly annoyed.


    Fortunately, prison guards arrived then and quickly handcuffed Derek and took him away.


    Peace was restored.


    Kate spat. “What a lunatic!”


    James gently took her hand, his gaze falling on her belly with subtle heat.
