After Jack went to prison, his mother Martha seemed carefree. She brought Ethan to me.
She lowered her head, looking hesitant. “This child is still young. You were his mother for a while. For Jack’s sake, could you take him in and raise him?”
I could guess her purpose without even thinking.
She couldn’t raise Ethan on her own.
Olivia’s parents weren’t willing to accept their own grandson either, so they wouldn’t
contribute a penny.
I looked at Ethan expressionlessly and asked him, “Who am I to you?”
“You’re the bad woman who put my dad and mom in jail! Grandma said to remember you’re the enemy of our Anderson family!” Ethan cried while kicking at me.
I easily dodged all his kicks.
Jack wasn’t a good person, and his mother was no better.
She had just put on quite an act. I almost believed her.
I straightened my clothes and smiled at Martha. “Are you dissatisfied with the verdict? You can try asking the judge to rule again if you’d like.”
Of course Martha didn’t dare.
She grabbed Ethan’s hand and cursed indirectly: “You’re useless! Good–for–nothing!”
She only had this one grandson. She wouldn’t dare hit or scold him.
How could she call him useless?
I walked closer to Martha. “Your son is still inside. You have to raise your grandson now. You know what you should and shouldn’t say, and who you can’t offend, right?”

You know what you should and shouldn’t say, and who you can’t offend, right?”
Yes, my son made a mistake. But why can’t you forgive him? Did you have to send him to jail to be happy? The child is innocent. You should take care of him! Consider it compensation!” Martha tried to guilt–trip me.
If I hadn’t reported Jack to the authorities, the victims might not have stopped at just my
family’s flower cake factory.
Moreover, I hadn’t done anything to harm Ethan. Where did she get the nerve to guilt–trip
me?
I took out my phone. “Alright then. I’ll call my lawyer right now and ask if I have any legal obligation to raise Ethan.”
Martha was completely cowed. She hurriedly took Ethan back to their hometown.
By the time Jack gets out of prison, I’ll already be the CEO of a listed company.
He carefully dressed up and came to my company to interview for a sales position, but
was shocked when he saw.me.
He cautiously opened his mouth: “I didn’t expect to see you again… I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t have done that back then. But all the good things I did for you before, all I sacrificed, was sincere.”
I casually glanced at his resume. “I’m sorry, but you’re not qualified to work at my company.”
I had security escort him out of my office.
A dog can’t change its habit of eating feces. He was still so good at pretending to be deep and affectionate.
One afternoon, I unexpectedly ran into Jack washing dishes in the back alley of a restaurant under the scorching sun.
Such a proud person was now bowing his head for the sake of making a living.

But you reap what you sow.
I won’t have an ounce of sympathy for him.
This was all his own doing.
As for how he’ll end up in the future, I don’t care. I’ll just focus on making my own life
better.
