Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 243 Revealing Her True Colors

Lily could not dodge the cup in time as water splashed on her face. The water washed away the

makeup she had put on to bluff Steven, revealing her true colors. Steven was infuriated to see Lily

going to such extreme measures to con him.

He pointed at Lily and bellowed, "Get out of here, you b*tch!"

"Dad, have you gotten things mixed up? I'm Lily. I'm your daughter, Lily."

"Get lost! You're an illegitimate child!" Steven's hands trembled as he spoke. Edric let out a snicker as

he stood by the side and said, "Miss Cook, look at this!"

Lily took over the report and glanced at the content, "Whose report is this?"

"It's yours and Mr. Cook's. Do you still think that Mr. Cook is your biological father?"

"This is impossible!" Lily was taken aback. She had always thought that she was Steven's daughter.

Never in a million years would she think that she actually was not related to Steven at all.

"Why would it be impossible? Your mother, Deborah, was a famous woman in Cat Alley. I don't know

whose child you are, Miss Cook. Maybe you can ask your uncle, Simon. He probably would know

which gangster's child you belong to!"

Lily's face flushed scarlet red, and she left with a crestfallen look.

Marie had been recovering well. When Margaret heard that Marie was getting better, she went to the

hospital to visit her in person. When Marie saw Margaret, she thought she was dreaming. Her eyes

widened in disbelief and she thought, "Isn't Margaret comatose? Why is she standing in front of me?"

She rubbed her eyes and mumbled, "Am I dreaming?"

"You're not dreaming. You must be disappointed to see that I'm still alive, right?" Margaret sneered.

Marie knew that Margaret was genuinely alive upon hearing her sarcastic voice. She was frightened

and hurriedly defended herself, "I didn't mean to treat you that way. It was all Deborah's fault. She had

threatened me with my past crimes."

"Alright, you can stop acting now. I know all the evil things that you've done!" Margaret interrupted her

and glared at Marie with disgust.

She had always viewed this woman who was lying on the sickbed as her best friend. People generally

said that doctors were angels in disguise, but Marie was not an angel at all. She was a wicked snake

that had taken advantage of her trust towards her and brought disharmony to her family. She was the

reason why her son and Irene had to divorce each other and she had nearly killed her.

Recalling the past, she could not resist wanting to skin Marie alive to get rid of the hatred accumulated

in her heart.

"I really had been blind in the past by regarding you as my best friend and giving you all my trust. It's

hilarious to see a beautiful and noble lady who's actually a b*tch, working together with a gangster. You

even had an affair with Steven. Besides harming me, you even killed your sister. Marie, why are you so

evil?" Margaret questioned.

"I didn't do that!"

"Marie, don't deny it. I know everything about what you've done. I'm not here to see you because I care

about you. I'm here to give you retribution, and tell you the truth. You'll definitely be happy upon hearing

it," Margaret glared at Marie with disdain. She wondered how Marie would react when she knew that

Lily was not actually her biological daughter.

Marie looked down and dared not face Margaret's cold glare at her. Although Margaret had a short

temper and behaved snobbishly, she had treated Marie well. She would share every good moment with

her and share her true feelings with her. If it was not for her daughter's happiness, she would not have

schemed against her. Marie felt guilty, but she did not think that she was in the wrong. She had done all

of those things for her daughter. If she was given another chance, she would do the same again.

I know the reason you helped Deborah and Lily so much to set my family up. You must think that Lily is

your own daughter, right? I'm telling you, you're wrong. Lily is not your daughter but Deborah's. You've

been tricked!"

Margaret felt disgusted as she looked at Marie. Marie kept dodging Margaret's burning gaze. Margaret

knew that Marie would not regret her decisions from the past. So, she spared nothing when she started

telling the truth.

Marie would never believe that she had been used by Deborah. She retorted, "That's impossible!"

"Why is it impossible? Do you think you're that smart? Do you think you are the only one who can

frame others?" Margaret snickered slyly, "Deborah isn't as stupid as you think. She knew that you were

plotting against her, so she countered back by using your own trick against yourself!"

"No! She wouldn't know about that!" Marie no longer had to put on an act as Margaret already knew

everything. "Simon wouldn't send his daughter away as cruelly like that."

"Haha! Marie, you're indeed an idiot. Deborah found out that you were trying to frame her and Steven

back then. You had an affair with Steven that night. The child you gave birth to isn't Simon's, do you

understand?" Margaret explained smugly, "You're really too smart for your own good. How pitiful you

are. Deborah had used you for so many years while you were doing your best for the sake of another

person's daughter."

"No, you're just provoking me because you hate me. What happened that year wasn't what you've said.

Lily is my biological daughter!" Marie refused to accept the truth.

"Since you're so stubborn, then I'll let the person involved tell you the truth!" The moment Margaret

finished her sentence, the door to the ward opened, and Simon entered the room.

"Marie, Mrs. Myers is telling the truth. When you had an affair with Steven that year, Deborah made me

take you away from the bed. You had told me to exchange the babies, but Deborah found out. She

threatened me to return the baby to you without telling you. Hence, the baby that you had sent away

was actually your daughter. Also, that daughter isn't ours. She doesn't have the same blood type as

both of us. I believe that the child is Steven's biological daughter. Back then, when I had carried her

away, I couldn't bear to see her pitiful face. So, I had stolen your jade pendant and put it on her," Simon

poured out the truth to Marie.

Marie couldn't believe her ears, "I don't trust any of you. Both of you are lying to me!"

"Is there any need for us to lie to you at a time like this?" Margaret snapped back, "Why can't you just

accept this fact?"

"No! I don't believe you all!" Marie shrieked. If what they said was true, then it would mean that she had

done her best to help Deborah's daughter and she had tried to kill Rowane, who was her own biological

daughter. How could Marie accept the fact that she had plotted to kill her own daughter?

"I understand why you don't want to admit all this. You had used Rowane to trick Edric and you were

afraid that the news would be exposed so you hired Dunn to assassinate Rowane. You're refusing to

admit it because you can't accept that all this while, you had tried to kill your own daughter. However,

facts are facts. Rowane is your biological daughter. If you don't believe us, you can just do a paternity

test with Lily."

Marie was on the brink of collapsing, "I won't do it. Lily is my daughter. I won't believe anything that

both of you have said!"

"You are really obstinate. Marie, don't deny it. We've already done a DNA test using Rowane's hair and

your hair. The results were a match. You and Rowane are indeed mother and daughter. If only you

hadn't been so wicked and didn't have the intentions to scheme against others, you would have noticed

that Rowane looked a lot like you."

Margaret spoke the truth. Rowane looked similar to her indeed. However, she had never thought that it

was because they were related. Marie covered her face with her hands. How could this be!

"What goes around comes around, Marie. Do you think that you can escape punishment since

Deborah is dead? Let me tell you this, I'll never forgive you! A wicked and vicious woman like you

deserves punishment. You're going to rot in jail for the rest of your life and enjoy the endless taste of

remorse!" Margaret threw a dirty look at Marie before striding out of the ward.

The police had taken Loraine and Jackson to the police station for severe interrogation. Loraine knew

that she had nowhere to run. Even if she managed to escape the police, she knew that Margaret would

never forgive her. She was at a dead-end. She did not want Jackson to take advantage of her either.

Jackson had blinded her when he had beaten her up. Loraine must have an alibi no matter what. She

planned to bring Jackson down with her. So, she said that she had only been following Jackson's

orders.

Jackson was a man of his word. He told the truth when the police interrogated him. Edric knew that

Jackson had strong integrity. He heard that Loraine was pulling Jackson into hot water, so he did not let

Loraine do whatever she wanted. He pulled some strings to protect Jackson and managed to put all the

blame on Loraine.

In the end, Jackson was sentenced for hurting someone without malicious intentions. Edric arranged

Jackson to receive compassionate release and Jackson got out unscathed.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Jackson was a grateful person. When he knew that Edric was the person who had saved him, he

swore his loyalty and gratitude to Edric. Those were matters to be addressed in the future. On the other

hand, Loraine had initially thought that Jackson would go down with her. However, she did not expect

Jackson to be released without any charges. She was filled with hatred in that instant.

While waiting for the date of her death sentence, Edric ensured that people took "great care" of her. At

the detention center, Loraine once again experienced life that was worse than death. She regretted her

actions, but it was too late. In the end, Loraine had to face her inevitable death. On the day of her death

penalty, Loraine was only left with her life hanging by a thread.

Dunn was subdued by the police. After Rowane was rescued and a police report was filed, the police

called Nathan to pick Rowane up. Rowane, who had managed to recover her memories, recalled the

times when Marie had tricked her into framing Edric. She instantly felt resentful and hateful.

She must have caused a lot of trouble between Edric and Irene. Edric had been kind to her, but she

had returned his kindness with cruelty. Edric probably hated her to his core.

Fortunately, the heavens had allowed her to survive due to Nathan's help. Otherwise, she would have

to bear the responsibility.

No, she had to tell Edric and Irene about Marie's true colors. She had to bring Marie, that vicious

woman, to justice!
