Although what happened to Delilah’s family was a shame, her actions of trying to disfigure and kill Emery were even crueler.
Even if Emery really did all that, all this wouldn’t have started if Delilah hadn’t stolen Hunter from her.
“It appears you have no idea how powerful the Moore family is given that you dared to hire someone to splash acid when only two of your family members have been laid off. I would have wiped out your family if anything had happened to Emery.” Having been silent throughout, Zachary glared at Delilah. It was rare for someone as aloof as him to display such ferocity.
“Hah…” Delilah sneered. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I only know that the illustrious Emery resorted to unscrupulous means to destroy my happiness despite having agreed to break up in peace. If word gets out that she is such a venomous person, I’m afraid the Moore family’s reputation would be badly affected.”
“Hunter, it seems that you really have good taste in women!” Unable to stand it anymore, I gritted my teeth and interrupted.
After hurting Emery to this extent, Delilah still dared to act with such defiance. She has definitely outdone Rebecca in making one feel indignant. Besides, isn’t her so-called happiness stolen from Emery in the first place?
Realizing that he was also to blame, Hunter hung his head in shame without saying a word. All he did was shirk away from the situation.
If only Emery had known him better then, she wouldn’t have fallen for him in the beginning.
“Do you think that just by hiring someone desperate you can wash your hands clean of the matter?” Emery might be soft-hearted, but I wasn’t. “Since we have captured him, I have my ways of making him talk. Assault alone would earn him three years of prison. With the Moore family’s influence, it would easily be extended to ten years. As for being the mastermind, you should prepare yourself to spend your best years in prison.”
Delilah’s beauty was her trump card. By sending her to prison, she would always remember that there was a price to pay for harming someone indiscriminately.
When she saw how firm I was, she began to panic and averted her gaze from me.
