"I'll make her suffer, I'll break her, I'll stick her full of needles until she's nothing but a bloody mess, hahaha..."novelbin
Muttering to herself in a disjointed frenzy, it was clear Helen had lost touch with reality.
Evan's lips were pressed tightly together, his small fists clenched hard, his breathing rapid and shallow.
That damn viper!
After scouring the hospital, Evan leaped into Helen's room.
He orchestrated the revenge, and a scar-faced enforcer made sure Helen experienced the agony Pamela had endured-twofold!
By the time the nurse found her, Helen was more porcupine than human, her body festooned with long needles everywhere but her eyes. The ghastly image of Helen and Larry's condition went viral online, shocking viewers but also earning a unanimous nod: karma at work! The commotion was too big to ignore, prompting police investigation.
But with surveillance sabotaged and not a trace of Evan or the enforcer captured on camera, the investigation hit a dead end.
Soon, the Murphy dynasty crumbled!
The eldest son of the Murphy family was arrested for child abduction and murder, Bobby for tax evasion, and Mr. Murphy for corruption and bribery!
With a bit of clout, the Murphys were exposed one after another and apprehended!
In just one afternoon, dozens of the Murphy family's diners shut down, their food factories sealed off!
The Murphy family was no more.
A dynasty that had monopolized Oceanopolis's food industry for decades had fallen!
As for Helen, her multiple crimes would normally warrant severe punishment, but her insanity led her to a mental hospital instead.
Clayton made arrangements, assigning her several maids for care-all of whom had been persecuted by Helen before.
Their deep-seated hatred for Helen ensured Clayton could rest easy with them in charge.
With the Murphy family dealt with, he next swept through his company, rewarding the loyal and punishing the deceitful.
Some soared to new heights, entering high society like Alden, while others plummeted into oblivion.
Hawkins Sea-freight underwent a major overhaul.
Betty, too, was busy reorganizing the Hawkins family's affairs.
Those involved in Pamela's mistreatment were sent to the police, while those who stood by indifferently were expelled from the Hawkins Mansion.
She even revised the Hawkins family tree, erasing Carl and others from it, stripping them and their descendants of their inheritance rights.
No longer would they or their offspring be considered part of the Hawkins family, nor would they have a claim to its wealth.
After a tumultuous day of retribution, the wicked faced their comeuppance, and the righteous found peace.
Dinner that evening was exceptionally lively, with Betty at the head of the table, flanked by Pamela and Elysia.
Clayton sat next to Pamela, and Tarquin beside Elysia, joined by the Patel brothers and their kids.
The family's joy and laughter filled the air.
Clayton was moved to tears by the scene, a happiness he'd never dared to dream of.
After surviving the storm, he understood what true happiness was.
Life, in its brevity or length, is best lived in good health, surrounded by loved ones, well-fed and warm.
And if one is lucky enough to have a few close friends, all the better!
After dinner, the kids joined Betty and Pamela for a stroll in the yard, helping them digest.
Elysia, after several heavy phone calls, seemed preoccupied.
"What's wrong?" Tarquin inquired.
Elysia pondered, "With today's news making such waves online, accessible to everyone, could Winona possibly have missed it? Blossom and Jess called after seeing the news, but Winona hasn't."
"Winona Newsom?"
