There had been a time when stepping outside made Eva feel important. People used to recognize her family name and immediately worshiped her. Women envied her clothes. Men admired her beauty. Employees practically bowed their heads when they recognized a member of the Smith family.

Because the attention no longer meant admiration, it was all ridicule.

And worst of all… shame.

Mrs. Smith had practically dragged her out of the boys' qu

    The following afternoon, Jamal had barely settled into his office when his assistant informed him that he had an unexpected visitor.At first, Jamal wasn't interested.He had too much on his mind.The events of the previous night still lingered in his mind, though not because he regretted his decision.No, far from that.He had simply reached the end of his patience.For years, he had been stepped on.For years, people had mistaken his gentleness for weakness; and now, with the Smith family finally out of his life, he seemed a lot at peace, it seemed like he had finally put that part of him to rest, but he was continuously disturbed because he really hated to keep enemies...

    The moment Jamal stepped out of his car and into the Smith mansion, which technically is his mansion right now... His blood boiled so hot, he could literally feel his body heating up.. he was trying so hard to contain the anger in him, but that was impossible.Each time he considered what would have happened if he hadn't gotten his hands on that cctv footage, what would have happened if he didn't find any evidence.. the entire world would have believed them, he would have been cancelled out, and Lord knows what would have been his fate then.He couldn't believe how much their minds are poisoned against him, despite everything they had done to him, years of unforgettable abuse and yet they still couldn't bear to watch him succeed this once, they would do anything to pull him back under their feet so they could continue abusing him... Too bad, he'd learned their game better than them. And now...Whatever mercy he had once possessed for the Smith family had finally run dry.His footstep

    For several long seconds after the Smith family had finished their tearful performance, the hall rilled into loud murmurs. People who had been praising Jamal only moments earlier were now looking at him differently.The looks of disappointment and disgust written all over their faces as they glared at him.Whispers spread like wildfire."How heartless.""His own ex-wife?""Making them clean for him?""I didn't expect this.""So money really changes people.""Poor woman.""Look at Mrs. Smith crying.""She's old enough to be his mother."Meanwhile, Mrs. Smith continued sobbing dramatically against the floor while Eva cried into her shoulder. Mark and David stood behind them pretending to hold their tears, occasionally shaking their heads as though disappointed by humanity itself.And in the middle of all this… Jamal simply stood there, calmly, which was strange because anyone else in his position would have panicked.Would have tried desperately to defend themselves, or argue, but not

"Good Lord!"Eva grabbed a pillow and threw it across the room.Then another, another."What is wrong with you?!" "HIM!" Eva pointed furiously at nothing. "He is wrong with me." Mrs. Smith frowned. "Jamal?""WHO ELSE?!"She grabbed her hair dramatically. "I hate him!" She sat heavily on the bed and tears filled her eyes again. "That woman." She mumbled.Mrs. Smith raised an eyebrow. "What woman this time?" "The one with him today, he called her Scarlet.""The pretty one?""Don't call her pretty!"Mrs. Smith shrugged in surrender.Eva buried her face into a pillow. "I hate her."Mrs. Smith folded her arms."Look at her.""She's enjoying where she didn't sow." "When Jamal wa
