Chapter 226

Chapter 226

One by one, each guest stepped forward with a look of grim determination.

Every time someone approached, two sharp slaps resounded-one across Bella's cheek, the other across Henry's-before the guest left without so much as a backward glance.

It was a relentless parade of humiliation, everyone too afraid to disobey the man who commanded them.

While this sick assembly line of slaps continued, a subordinate from Kingwell handed Alex a thick folder.

The moment he read its contents, his expression darkened.

Still, the slapping went on, as if the guests were workers on a factory line.

Bella's face swelled to twice its size, and Henry's lips were puffed and raw. Tears streaked Bella's cheeks as she whimpered, "I'm sorry."

Alex folded his arms, looking unimpressed.

"Oh, really? Tell me, Bella, have you ever forgiven anyone who begged you for mercy?"

Bella sniffled, her voice trembling, "Yes... I mean, if someone apologized—"

Alex snorted. "Don't lie to me. I've dug up all your dirty secrets in Vermont."

"If you happened to despise someone just because she was prettier than you, you destroyed her face without hesitation."

"No matter how much they cried or pleaded, you never stopped. Worse, I have proof your father tried to sweep it all under the rug-thirty-five cases in total, and eleven of them ended in murder."

He tossed the documents on the floor, letting photos of countless victims spill out.

The guests gasped at the gruesome evidence: battered faces, lifeless bodies, horror frozen in every image.

"For decades, you've unleashed terror without anyone daring to give justice to your victims. Well, your overdue karma has finally arrived."

He glared at Bella, then turned on her closest allies.

"Marie, Cathy, Julie. You're her best friends in this bullying spree. Each of you is just as twisted as she is. Now you'll have one chance to make it right."

The three looked like cornered animals.

Their father owned major companies in Vermont, yet here they were, trembling before Alex.
