Chapter 144 Michelle’s Beating

“Get out of the car!”

“Get out here and explain yourself right now. Was it you–Michelle–or was it Tiffany who slept with me back then?”

“Listen, whoever’s in that car. You come out now, or we’re flipping this thing over.”

“Bang. Crack.”

Thud after thud. Tiffany was rattled around inside like a loose screw, her head spinning.

Her heart was slamming against her ribs so hard she thought it might burst.

“Mrs. Watson, I called Mr. Watson. He’s sending people.”

“Why are they all here?”

The driver gave her a look she couldn’t quite read.

“Mrs. Watson… you really don’t know?”

“How would I know?”

She was already annoyed that her husband hadn’t bothered to pick her up himself.

“Amber from the Moore family went public. She said you’re her real mother–Michelle. It’s everywhere. The whole internet knows.”

Tiffany’s eyes went wide, pupils blown out like she was spinning. Her heart nearly stopped.

Amber. That idiot. Did she have ants for brains?

She should have drowned her in the toilet the day she was born. Let her live, and this is what I get? Ruined by my own daughter.

“AH-!”

Her scream was so sharp it almost cracked the windshield.

The car tipped. Went over. Flopped onto its side like a turtle, rocking back and forth. She felt like her head was going to roll off her shoulders and bounce away.

“Bang.”

Before she could catch her breath, the window shattered.

A hand grabbed her by the hair and yanked her out through the broken glass. Shards sliced into her skin. She was bleeding everywhere.

The pain was so bad she nearly blacked out. She forced her eyes open, lifted her head.

“Mom.”

That one word from Amber drove the knife in deeper than any glass ever could.

Tiffany shoved her away with everything she had.

“Leo. Go. Get a DNA test done. Now.”

Felix stood over her like death himself, like he might end her life the next second.

“Mom, don’t be scared. Once the test comes back, Dad will protect us.”

“Get away from me!”

Amber’s face crumpled, all hurt and confused. Sienna grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

‘Mom. Stop talking.”

‘If I don’t say something, she’s going to die.”

‘I said stop.”

Sienna’s grip was iron. Her nails dug in so hard it felt like she was tearing flesh. The pain shut Amber up

fast.

‘I’m taking her.”

‘Felix, you’re not taking her anywhere. I’m not done with her yet.”

Jaron’s voice was ice.

This woman had destroyed him.

I’ve got scores to settle too. There are things I need to hear her say.”

“Thinking my first love was my age, and it turns out she’s old enough to be my grandmother? I’m going to be sick. I need answers.”

“Calling me ‘baby‘ back then, and she could have been my mother.”

Everyone had something to say. No one was backing down. In the end, they took her to a warehouse. Elders first–Felix went in alone.

He stood over her, looking down like she was nothing. Less than nothing.

His eyes were dead. Unblinking. Like a snake sizing up prey..

“Who are you?”

“Dad, I swear. She’s Mom.”

“Felix. Get your daughter some help. She’s lost her mind.”

Felix stared coldly. “Doesn’t matter if you admit it. DNA doesn’t lie.”

“Mom, do you want it to hurt more? Just say it. Then we can get you to a hospital.”

“You idiot. I should have choked you the day you were born.”

Tiffany’s face went green with rage.

“So. You really are Michelle.”

Tiffany closed her eyes. When she opened them, they were wet. “Aren’t you happy I’m alive?”

Felix stumbled back like he’d been hit. His face was pure disbelief.

“Back then, I wanted nothing more than to marry you. But you couldn’t get a divorce. I wasn’t going to be the other woman. I wasn’t going to wreck your family. That would have been wrong.”

The tears came then, rolling slow down her cheeks. The wrinkles around her eyes could’ve trapped a fly. but the act? Flawless. Pitiful. Broken.

“I was torn apart. Heartbroken. And then the accident destroyed my face. I wasn’t beautiful anymore. I wasn’t the woman you loved. And I still couldn’t bring myself to wreck your family. So I had to stay away.

“I never meant for any of this to happen. Can you forgive me?”

Felix looked at her tears. And laughed. A cold, dead laugh.

Loved him? What a joke.

“My whole life. You played me like a fool my whole life. You deserve to die.”

Felix lost it. His cane came down on her again and again.

“AH-!”

Amber wanted to stop him. But the sound of those screams? She couldn’t move. Couldn’t get closer.

Pffi.

Felix spat blood. It splattered across Tiffany’s face, warm and red.

“Michelle. You framed my wife. You destroyed my daughter. I will never let you go.”

“Men. Always so good at blaming everyone but themselves.”

In the end, they had to carry Felix out.

By the time Jaron walked in, Tiffany was barely recognizable. If she wasn’t still breathing, he’d think she was dead.

If Elias hadn’t quietly spread the word in their circles to keep things civil, Jaron would have put a bullet in her brain right there.
