The room felt like it could catch fire at any moment; it was eerily quiet, and there wasn't a single servant in sight.

Lin Tingyue trembled with fright, her face turning as pale as paper. Cai Wenchuan grabbed her arms with both hands, like two iron clamps. Lin Tingyue kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with Cai Wenchuan.

At that moment, she was like a fish thrown ashore, terrified and breathless.

Cai Wenchuan stared at her, gritting his teeth as he asked, "To seize a third of Lin Tingfeng's shares? You kidnapped Ye Wenyu, didn't you? You conspired with his ex-wife; you were responsible for kidnapping, and she was responsible for acquiring the shares, right? Why are you so greedy? You've already gotten so much!"

Cai Wenchuan's voice wasn't loud, but each word felt like a whip lashing at Lin Tingyue.

Lin Tingyue kept her head down. Before, only her face had lost its color, but now even her lips had lost all color.

Cai Wenchuan sighed, as if he were weeping blood. He said to her with utter despair, "Xiaoyue, I have always taken care of you and loved you. I felt sorry for you when you were little and no one cared for you. I loved you with all my heart, but now I realize that nearly thirty years of feelings have been wasted. You have been using me all along!"

He's the biggest fool in the world. He's the most pitiful pawn, constantly being deceived and manipulated.

He shoved her, smoke billowing from his head, fire blazing in his eyes, his handsome face contorted with rage and pain. He yelled at her, "You and your mother have been lying to me since I was a child, spending over twenty years setting up a scheme just to trick me! You women are truly wicked!"

His life was ruined, completely ruined by the two of them, yet they felt no remorse. They were smug and basked in the fruits of their victory, leaving him alone in hell, tasting all sorts of terrible emotions such as pain, disappointment, anger, regret, and guilt.
