"Father, that's all in the past. Before marrying Daryl Mallory, I had completely cut ties with that man!" Karen knew that denying her past was useless now, especially since the other party had brought out the photos.

Even though that man's appearance had changed significantly over the years, Karen had taken good care of herself. Her appearance was not much different from her younger days.

Hence, anyone could easily tell it was her in those photos.

Old Master Mallory took a drag of his cigar, exhaling slowly with a hint of disgust in his weathered, sharp eyes. He did not easily get deceived by Karen.

"When your family and the Mallory family arranged the marriage, you assured me that you were a good woman with no messy relationships. You said you'd pass the background check and that you were worthy of Daryl. I still remember those words.

"I believed the Ruiz family's nonsense and arranged the wedding without investigation. This led to misunderstandings between Daryl and me over the years. He has been abroad all this time while you were here, using Daryl as an excuse for your actions.

"Karen, what do you take our Mallory family for? Are you playing games with all of us?"

Previously, even though means of communication were not as advanced as they were now, if Old Master Mallory had investigated, he would have discovered Karen's past entanglements with several men.

However, the Ruiz family had a good reputation in A City at that time, and Old Master Mallory chose to trust them.

After he saw the news report, he suddenly recalled how Daryl used to fool around and the way Daryl hesitated to speak when he tried to educate him.

Perhaps Daryl had known about Karen's true nature all along. That was why he used this situation to get back at her.

Otherwise, Daryl would not have turned out the way he did.

"Father, I swear, I haven't done anything to hurt Daryl since we got together!” Karen raised her hand and swore. She was emotionally worked up. “If I ever did anything to betray Daryl Mallory since we tied the knot, may the heavens strike me down!"

Even when Daryl wronged her in the past and left her alone, she endured it.

After all, she had her fair share of screw-ups back then.

When Daryl went abroad and had an affair with that woman, she felt lonely, but she never thought about being with other men.
