However, the Karen in front of him was nothing like the old Karen.

She narrowed her eyes and smirked coldly, "Silas Gray, you really can do anything for money, huh..."

Silas let out a cold shiver. That malicious tone of hers was like an invisible knife held at his throat.

He realized Karen no longer had the feelings she once had for him. Not only did she lack any sentiment, but she also seemed inclined to end his life!

Pain and fear washed over Silas... He recalled the days when the Ruiz family forced him to stay away from A City. He could not help but shudder. He learned that one should never offend the Ruiz family. That was when he grasped this particular life lesson.

During that time, the Ruiz family wielded significant influence and power. It was way beyond the reach of someone like him, a regular civilian.

Years had passed, and he truly had no money left. He was so poor that he could not even afford a meal. That was why he did not hesitate and agreed directly when those people found him.

After all, Karen's family had lost much of their former wealth, influence, and power over the years.

However, little did he expect that Karen could still squeeze the life out of him so effortlessly.

A hint of disdain appeared in Karen's eyes when she saw Silas in this state. She wondered how she had ended up with such a man in the first place and recalled all the stories that unfolded between them...

Karen felt her stomach churn. She was nauseated by the swarm of thoughts.

She raised her hand, initially thinking of slapping Silas. However, she remembered what her subordinate had said and opted for a swift kick instead, landing it forcefully.

"Ugh," grunted Silas as he collapsed to the ground.

Karen showed no mercy when she faced her former lover. Considering the things he had done, she wished she could go back in time and slap him the moment they first met.

If she had put an end to that chapter of her life, it was unlikely that Daryl would have an affair. Their married life could have been much happier.
