Chapter 7 

Isaac, upon hearing my words, waved his hands in helplessness, his eyes filled with regret and despair. 

“No, I won’t divorce.” 

“Sophie, whether you believe me or not, from the moment I promised your brother to marry you, I decided to take care of you for life.” 

“I believe you.” [] 

I nodded, and a spark of hope lit up in his eyes. [] 

But I continued with a cold smile: 

“After all, taking care of me for a lifetime doesn’t conflict with taking care of other women for a lifetime too.” 

“But why should I accept this?” [ 

“You, Isaac, proposed to me ten times before I finally agreed to marry you. So why, after you’ve appeased your guilt, do you think you can discard me like trash?” 

“My brother’s dying wish was for me to marry you so that I could be happy, not to live a life of compromise and 

humiliation.” 

The light in Isaac’s eyes dimmed with each word until only a dead, stagnant pool remained. [] 

Watching his eyes turn lifeless, I felt a strange sense of satisfaction. 

To make sure the blow was final, I delivered the last strike: 

“Isaac, what do you think my brother would say if he knew that, for the sake of Mary’s dog, you sent his five–year–old niece out into the storm to die? Would he regret saving you with his life?” [ 

A fatal blow. 

Isaac covered his face and crouched down, sobbing. 

Tears seeped through his fingers, dripping onto the floor. 

He murmured, 

“He would regret it. he would definitely regret it…” 

At least this time, he wasn’t confused. [ 

I asked him calmly: [ 

“Isaac, you remember when our daughter was bitten by a dog at age three, don’t you?” [] 

“Yeah.” He sniffled.] 

“Since then, she’s been afraid of dogs. Yet, the old woman collecting trash claimed she saw my daughter kill a dog with her own hands. Do you think that’s believable?” 

His eyes narrowed Instantly, a sharp look plercing through: 

“She’s lying?” 

I didn’t comment, my tone growing even colder: 

“Our daughter was cremated days ago, but the old woman claimed she saw her last night. Maybe she has a supernatural eye that sees beyond the living world.” 

As I finished speaking, Isaac’s eyes widened, his body stiffening like stone. I 

I acted as if I hadn’t noticed his reaction, remaining firm in my expression as he looked at me in disbelief. || 

“Even though my daughter is gone, as her mother, I will never allow anyone to smear her name.” 

“No one.” [ 

Isaac tilted his head back and closed his eyes. After a long pause, he reopened them. 

“I won’t allow it either! 

This might be the first time he had defended his daughter like a father. 

If our daughter were still alive, she would have been so happy. 

After all, until the very end, she only wanted to be the good girl in Isaac’s eyes. 

But unfortunately, she’s gone. 

And I will never tell Isaac how much she once adored him. 

He doesn’t deserve to know.

Isaac’s gaze fell on Lily’s urn, and he clenched his fists anxiously before suggesting: 

“Tll arrange a proper burial for her. Let’s lay her to rest and give her some 

“You’re not worthy!” 

I said without hesitation: 

“I’ve already reserved a spot for her next to my brother’s grave.” 

peace.” 

“You, the one responsible for her death, will never be worthy of appearing at her grave. 

“You would taint her path to the afterlife.” [] 

With my heartless words, his already hunched figure bent even further, as if he were a prisoner standing before a judge, burdened by the weight of his sins. 

Such a sinner. 

In life, he should repent daily. 

In death, he should be fried in bolling ofl every night. 

For eternity. 

No release. 

My resolve finally drove him away. 

As he left, he promised me he would find out the truth from the old woman and clear our daughter’s name. 

But I already knew who the real culprit was. 

So it didn’t matter whether Isaac found out the truth or not–because I was here.
