00:00A few short-tempered security guards, without waiting for my orders, treated him just like
00:03trash. They dragged Ian Sheldon by his collar and tossed him into a roadside dumpster. No one spared
00:07him another glance. Meanwhile, Ellie Rivers' fate was even more miserable than Ian Sheldon's.
00:13She failed to escape and was forcibly taken to a remote rural area by Cody Shaw. After Cody Shaw
00:19discovered she wasn't actually pregnant and was buried in debt, he flew into a rage. He sold her
00:23to an illegal labor camp in the hills to do hard labor. She worked day and night, enduring endless
00:26suffering. When Ellie Rivers tried to escape again, she rolled down a cliff and broke her right leg
00:31with no money for medical treatment. She was left permanently crippled and became disabled.
00:37She found a chance to steal someone's phone. She called Ian Sheldon crying for help, hoping he
00:42would remember their past, and called the police to save her. But Ian Sheldon didn't call the police.
00:47Instead, he took the explicit private photos Ellie Rivers had sent him and sent them all to Cody
00:51Shaw. He even left a message saying he could do whatever he wanted with her and that he didn't
00:54care. Pam Holden's life didn't improve at all. Her house was seized by the court, her family
01:00graves were desecrated, and her reputation was destroyed. She was forced to wander the
01:03streets, scavenging trash to survive. She slept under freezing bridges at night, living out
01:08in the cold. Having lost her mind, she told everyone she met that her daughter-in-law was
01:13a big boss in the city and would pick her up in a Mercedes tomorrow to live in luxury. She
01:16became the laughingstock of the whole town.
01:18I stared coldly at the photos and videos the private investigator sent. I didn't feel a
01:23thing, only relief. Lately, I've already taken the shares in my name and cashed them
01:27all out at their peak. I've also listed all my properties for sale. My assets have multiplied
01:31several times over. My visa is already sorted. I'm preparing to leave this city of pain and
01:36schemes. I'm going to start my life over. But on my last day before leaving, I rented a
01:41black SUV and drove back to that small ancestral village alone. I parked at the foot of a desolate
01:46mountain, carrying a black plastic bag. I walked up the mountain step by step. I opened the
01:50black plastic bag, pulled out a thick stack of documents, and flicked my lighter. Flames
01:56flicker to life. Paper curls and burns in the fire, turning into ashes, scattering with the
02:01wind. That was the evidence of Ian Sheldon forging my father's will. It's also the reason
02:05I've endured everything for three years. Two years ago, my father died in a sudden car accident.
02:09The police ruled it an accident. But while tracking Ian Sheldon's asset transfers, finding
02:14that before the crash, he'd sent a massive sum to the driver. The amount was staggering.
02:19That's why, despite the affair, the mistreatment from my mother-in-law, and the provocations
02:22from Ellie Rivers, I've stayed quiet and endured it all. I'm gathering evidence. I'll watch them
02:27climb to their self-important peaks, then pull the ladder out from under them myself. I'll
02:30let them fall and shatter into pieces, never to rise again. A copy of this evidence I already
02:35submitted it to the district attorney's office yesterday. On the charge of murder for hire
02:39alone, it's enough to keep Ian Sheldon behind bars for life. He might even face the death
02:43penalty. A mountain breeze blew past. In the woods behind me, the sound of snapping twigs
02:48suddenly rang out. In Ian Sheldon's hand, he gripped a rusty sickle. His eyes were bloodshot
02:52and looking like a madman, he charged out from behind a tree. He had clearly followed me all
02:56the way here. His gaze was filled with murderous intent.
02:59Die, Aubrey Harper. He raised the sickle and swung it violently
03:03at my neck. The strike was vicious, aiming to kill me. I didn't even dodge. My expression
03:08remained calm. Four bodyguards in black lurking nearby leaped out like leopards. Their movements
03:12were swift. A man kicks Ian Sheldon in the chest, knocking him hard into the mud. He is
03:18pinned down, unable to move. Ian Sheldon's face is pressed into the mud mixed with incense
03:23ash. He still roars hysterically, his voice hoarse. Why, if you loved me so much, why
03:28are you being so ruthless to me? I walk over. My expensive Doc Martens step on
03:33that finger reaching for the sickle. I grind down hard until I hear the clear sound of
03:37bones cracking. I let out a soft chuckle, my tone chillingly cold. From the day of the
03:42memorial, when you left me in the pouring rain and let Ellie Rivers stand by your side
03:47to offer incense, the blind Aubrey Harper who gave her heart to the wrong man already
03:51died in that rain. Right then, from the bushes nearby, a madwoman
03:56in tattered clothes and messy white hair suddenly lunged out. It was Ellie Rivers. She had somehow
04:01escaped from the illegal brick kiln. She was clutching a glass jar filled with a pungent
04:06liquid. Aubrey Harper, I'll haunt you even in death. She ripped the lid off the jar and
04:12threw the liquid straight at me. The bodyguard reacted instantly, pulling me away and shielding
04:18me. The jar of high concentration industrial sulfuric acid traced a blinding arc through
04:22the air, landing precisely and splashing all over Ian Sheldon's face while he was pinned
04:26to the ground. A blood-curdling scream tore through the silence of the desolate mountain,
04:30piercing and horrific. White smoke instantly billows from Ian Sheldon's face. The smell of
04:35burning flesh fills the air. It's sickening. Ellie Rivers is paralyzed with fear. She limps
04:39backward. She trips over a tombstone at her feet. She falls into the mud, trembling. In front of
04:45their ancestors' graves, the two let out wails like vengeful spirits. It's absolutely wretched.
04:50I turn around coldly. I wave to the bodyguards. My voice is calm. Call the police. Call an ambulance.
04:57One month later, the court delivers the final verdict. Ian Sheldon is convicted of intentional
05:02murder, embezzlement, fraud, and other charges. With the sentences combined, he is sentenced to life
05:06in prison. His face was severely burned over a large area. His vocal cords were badly damaged.
05:11In prison, he became an unrecognizable shell of a man. It wasn't long before he completely lost
05:16his mind. He spent his days babbling incoherently. For the crime of aggravated assault, Ellie Rivers
05:21was sentenced to 15 years in prison. This once ill-fated couple, ironically ending up in prison
05:26together, fulfilled their bond of shared suffering. Given the unique nature of the case, the prison
05:30placed them in two cells facing each other. They were separated by a six-foot-wide hallway. This was
05:34the closest they would ever be, and yet, the farthest apart. Their only daily pastime was peering
05:39through the gaps in the iron bars, using the most vicious and vile language to curse each
05:43other's families. They cursed each other. They tormented each other.
05:47This kind of daily mental torture is more destructive to A.
05:52Person's soul than simple imprisonment. Pam Holden's downfall was exactly as I predicted.
05:56While my assistant was doing market research in a run-down part of town, they filmed a video.
06:00In the clip, she is wearing a greasy, blackened old coat. Huddled by the slop buckets at a trash
06:06station, rummaging for food. She picks up a piece of moldy sponge cake, covered in green
06:10fuzz and soaked in rainwater, clutching it like it's a precious treasure. She mutters
06:14neurotically to the thin air.
06:16Eat more so you can have a big, healthy boy. The Shen family needs an air.
06:21The same hands that used to complain about my cooking and find fault with everything I did,
06:25can now only scavenge through stinking garbage for scraps to fill her stomach. It's filthy and pathetic.
