The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 438

Janie took a deep breath, reining in her frantic emotions as her gaze turned utterly venomous.

After Winston was locked up, Janie had lost her only source of income and plummeted back into the gutter.

She was forced to return to those cheap bars and clubs to pour drinks, enduring the groping and beatings of random men, living a life devoid of daylight.

Just when she thought she would rot at the bottom of the barrel forever...

"God helped me."

Janie suddenly laughed, the sound echoing eerily through the freezing morgue.

Giselle died.

Giselle plummeted to her death from the roof of The Southview Peninsula Hotel.

The news sprouted wings and flew across the entire Metropolis.

Immediately after, Nora became a pariah, cursed and spat on by everyone in their social circle.

Hiding in her cramped, dingy rental, Janie watched the news alerts on her phone, trembling with sheer excitement. She watched Nora become a universally despised murderer and saw the Hayes Group issue an absolute ban on the Xavier family.

She had finally lived to see the day Nora fell from grace.

"Julian came to me personally. He gave me a massive amount of money."

Following the script Julian provided, Janie gave a tearful on-camera interview, accusing Nora of plagiarism and sobbing about how Nora had used the Hayes family's power to force her out of the city.

She painted herself as a tragically misunderstood designer crushed by a tyrant.

The ferocious public backlash ignited instantly, becoming the final straw that broke the Xavier family.

"When you refused to speak up for me just to protect your ridiculous pride and your stubbornness in front of Gideon, did you ever think this day would come?"

Janie leaned in close to Nora's ear, dropping her voice to a whisper laced with bone-deep malice and glee.

Seeing Nora in this wretched state—parents dead, hands crippled, reputation in ruins—brought Janie an unprecedented rush of satisfaction.
