Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 468

< Chapter 468.

Chapter 468.

The only reason she hadn’t left Arthur yet was that they weren’t officially divorced. As long as she was single, men from their thirties to their seventies would be falling over themselves for her.

Even if she was missing her lower legs and feet, it didn’t dampen her allure.

Just looking at their own circles, Albert Jansen had once coveted Sylvia; he simply hadn’t acted on it out of respect for June.

Many people assumed that powerful, wealthy men only wanted eighteen-year-old girls. Sure, they liked young girls, but what they really craved were women in their thirties and forties-women who were gentle, sensible, and understanding. They wanted someone who could cook them a bowl of noodles and listen softly to their troubles at the end of a long day.

Especially men in their fifties. They were past the stage of needing someone to bear children. They had already checked that box. What

they needed now was an emotional anchor and comfort.

Sylvia was exactly that type of woman.

To the outside world, she was the embodiment of beauty, elegance, and intelligence.

It wasn’t just older men-even the younger ones were hooked. Who wouldn’t fall for that sweet, doting big-sister act?

Besides, Sylvia was only forty-two. She could still have children!

Consequently, Sylvia’s popularity-especially with men-had always been exceptional. The number of people who had sent her gifts,

both openly and in secret, was countless.

Arthur wasn’t an idiot. He had seen it.

He had just played dumb because he was a beneficiary. He had eaten the food and used the supplies other men sent to Sylvia. So, he chose to look the other way.

Now that the masks were off, Arthur stopped pretending. He went straight for the jugular. “Sylvia, you want me dead so you can climb a higher ladder, don’t you? You want to use your beauty to hook some high-ranking official at the new base in exchange for another life of luxury, right?”

Having her secrets laid bare made Sylvia snap. “Since you’ve said it, I have nothing to defend! I’ve stayed with you through these miserable times long enough. I’ve done more than enough for you!”

“For the sake of the years we spent together, just let me have this!”

“I am beautiful. I shouldn’t be living at the bottom of society!”

“I belong at the top! I deserve to be a dignified lady of status!”

“Hah! You finally showed your true face!” Arthur’s expression was monstrous. “I should have never listened to your sweet talk. I should have never betrayed my wife! If I hadn’t stayed with you, she wouldn’t have been driven to her death by the two of you! I wouldn’t be at odds with Josie Quinn!”

“If things were different, I’d be the most honored person at Quinshaw Base right now! Josie is so capable-she never would have let me

suffer!”

“So, you’re regretting it now, too?” Sylvia sneered. “If you’re so sorry, then go find Josie! Go kneel and apologize to her. Maybe she’ll actually forgive you!”

Chapter 458

“Dad, I’m sorry” June grabbed Arthur’s hand and gave a violent wrench.

*Snap!*

June dislocated Arthur’s entire arm.

The strength drained from his body. His grip on Sylvia failed, and file arm fett

Arthur looked at June in pure horror. “Jane, you…”

“Dad, rest in peace. If we have the destiny for it, we’ll be family again in the next life Leanngh Sylvia and crawled away without looking back.

Arthur’s body tumbled backward, uncontrolled. He plummeted toward the roiling magma pool

In the moment he fell into the lava, his face was a mask of shock, disbelief, and a deep, agonising

But no one knew what he regretted more-betraying his wife, or listening to Sylvia’s poison all those yes. had finally cost him everything.
