Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 557 So Women Should Marry Cautiously

She gazed at them with a sharp glare and stated, "You are welcome to try. Let's see, after this matter unfolds, who ends up unlucky-me or you."

With those words left hanging, she departed without further ado.

From behind her, Steven's voice resounded, "Officers, did you witness that? Selena is truly audacious, disregarding the law."

Despite Selena having submitted evidence of Steven's extramarital affair, at most, it could be construed as a breach of personal morality rather than a prosecutable offense. Even if the police were inclined to investigate, it would be to no avail.

Selena sat in the front passenger seat, with Ann sitting in the front row.

Even though Ann was just outside, she could still hear Steven's shouting.

"Selena, what are we going to do? Steven has indeed been relentless in trying to stir up this matter online."

Selena leaned back, feeling exhausted all over. She had to deal with this matter even though she was already tired.

"Unfortunately, even if Steven's domestic violence is uncovered, without a complaint from Lily, it would be deemed merely spousal discord."

Even as an observer, Ann was rendered speechless by the situation.

After a long pause, she inquired, "So, if Lily was indeed killed by Steven, not only would he avoid imprisonment, but he could also claim compensation from us?" Selena nodded, hearing Ann curse, "What kind of society is this!"

Selena gazed at the ceiling. "Hence, women should choose their spouses wisely when marrying. It's the only opportunity to select family members. This individual, who could eventually be signing papers outside the delivery room and could easily conclude any harm done to you as mere marital discord-I advised Lily previously. Still, she had been completely domesticated, accustomed to Steven's abuse. She never considered divorcing him, focusing solely on earning money to support the family."

"Selena, that Steven is not a good person. Now that he has received money from you, he's likely using it to support his lover. How much does he want?" "Two million."

An ordinary person couldn't earn that much money in their lifetime. Moreover, Steven had already received money from the Fair family to pay off the mortgage. If he got another two million now, he would essentially be free to squander it at will.

"Ann, come with me somewhere tonight."

After stating this, Selena called Shelley and borrowed a few bodyguards from her.

Shelley's bodyguards were professional, capable of protecting them in critical moments.

Selena instructed these two individuals to bring Steven's two sons to them.

If Steven had truly harmed Lily, resulting in her death, then these two, who had long been staying at home, would surely know something.

The police were reluctant to hastily detain individuals without evidence, but Selena couldn't afford to consider that now.

Even though Lily had worked at the Fair family for years without disclosing their family situation to Steven, she still owed Lily fair treatment.

Half an hour later, the two individuals who had arranged to go out were kidnapped by the bodyguards.

Having never experienced such a situation before, both individuals were extremely frightened.

Selena gestured for the bodyguards to separate the two and question them individually.

The eldest son remained composed compared to the younger one. Though fearful, he didn't show it as overtly as his sibling.

Hence, Selena decided to focus her interrogation efforts on the younger son.

The younger son was trembling with fear, even wetting his pants in fright.

When Selena saw this, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

The younger son's eyes were covered with a thick blindfold, rendering him sightless. When he was kicked over, he nearly spat out blood.

The bodyguards, seasoned in such actions, showed no hesitation in their approach.

"How did your mother really die? If you don't speak, I will end you right here today."

The man grew even more afraid upon hearing the question, curling up and trembling.

A bodyguard drew a dagger and slowly pierced it into the man's foot. "Ouch! Please spare me, I don't know, I know nothing," he pleaded. The next moment, another dagger jabbed into his leg, not with haste. After tormenting him for half an hour, the man was barely conscious. "I'll talk," he finally said.

The scene fell silent as the man was on the verge of passing out from fear.

"That day, my father brought his mistress home. Except for my mother, the whole family knew about this affair. She was wealthy, giving my brother and me pocket money each month. I heard she owned two houses in the city. Even my grandparents were lured by her money, constantly encouraging my father to divorce. However, my father thought that even though the woman was wealthy, she spent extravagantly with no restraint. He believed my mother was better at managing finances, so the idea of divorce had been repeatedly postponed. This time, when he brought that woman home, they were supposed to discuss how to proceed with the divorce from my mother. However, when they were making love, my mother unexpectedly returned and caught them in the act. She threatened to cause trouble for my father at his workplace.

"My father panicked. Despite receiving his current salary after working hard for over twenty years, we tried to persuade my mother, and even my grandparents scolded her, but she was resolute. Helpless, my father slapped her, and they started struggling. He ended up strangling her, and she kept resisting. That's when my brother and I intervened."

The whole family, including a husband and his two sons, ganged up on a woman who had dedicated decades to them.

The husband, along with his two sons, together suffocated her.

The in-laws watched from the sidelines, as did the mistress, but none lifted a finger to help her.

No one knew the depth of Lily's despair at that moment.
