Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 212 Receiving An Anonymous Letter

The only thing he was worried about was his mother, Loraine, rejecting his decision. Not only was

Cecilia a prostitute, but she was also much older than him as well, so his mother would definitely

disagree with their relationship. He still depended on his mother, so he had to reveal the matter later

on.

One night, Sam brought a few bottles of wine and some dishes to Tommy's place for a hangout

session. As they were drinking, Sam suddenly brought up a matter about his business, "Mr. Tommy, I

heard a small piece of news about why your nightclub had been closed down. I'm just not sure if it's

true or not."

"Tell me about it," Tommy felt embarrassed to not have any money with him. He stayed home to scroll

the Internet every day and had no idea about what was happening outside.

"I heard that your nightclub was closed down because of your partner. Your partner had offended

someone he shouldn't, so they deliberately chose to shut down the nightclub."

"No way. Who told you that?" Tommy was in disbelief. His partner was Deborah's friend. Who would

dare to offend a friend of Steven Cook of San Fetillo?

"I heard it from Mr. Brendon's subordinates," Sam replied.

"Mr. Brendon? Why haven't I heard of this name?"

"You hadn't been out recently, so of course you don't know who Mr. Brendon is. Mr. Brendon is

someone who came to San Fetillo from the capital city recently. He works in an important department,

but he accidentally created some trouble and came here to hide," Sam explained. "Mr. Brendon was

extravagant. Every time he went out, he would be accompanied by a dozen bodyguards and he would

only spend money at the Golden Age Group. Edric Myers and the security head, Director Lewis, are full

of smiles whenever they see him."

He must be someone that both Edric and Director Lewis respected. Tommy believed him and asked,

"How did you get to know his subordinates?"

"They needed some contacts when they came to San Fetillo. Eugene from the Golden Age Group was

looking for people, and I'm on good terms with his nephew. That was how I got introduced."

Sam explained further, "Mr. Brendon said that San Fetillo was a good place. He wanted to set up a

stronghold here, and he happened to be interested in your closed down nightclub. Then, he planned to

clear it and rebuild the shop. Since he was planning to do so, he asked around why your shop was

sealed up in the first place. People from the capital city really are a different breed. They have so many

connections!"

"D*mn it, I was wondering why I was so unlucky. It turns out to be because of this. Do you know who

the culprit is?"

"They didn't say so. However, they're saying that Logan Wheeler wasn't the real owner. The true

investor was Mr. Cook's wife. After the nightclub was closed down, Mr. Cook went to find someone and

found out that his wife had invested in it. In the end, the investment funds by Mr. Cook's wife were

returned to him. You can only consider yourself unlucky for not getting a penny back."

"Are you serious?" Molten anger filled Tommy.

"That's what they said. I think ninety percent of it is true. Think about it yourself. Mr. Cook has been an

official for so many years. It's not an exaggeration to say that he might be corrupted."

"So I'm the only one who has nothing to lose here?" Tommy was furious, "We can't just let it go like

this!"

"What do you want to do?"

"I have to get my money back."

"What can you do? Mr. Cook has more power than you do. What status do you have? How do you plan

to get back this money?"

Tommy was stumped by Sam's question. Indeed, what ability did he have now? He had had plenty of

money because of his mother. If it were not his mother, he would not amount to anything himself. It

seemed that the matter had to be discussed with his mother.

Tommy went to speak to Loraine and told her everything that Sam had shared with him. Loraine was

unsatisfied upon hearing the matter, but she was afraid that her son would act arrogantly because he

was young. She shook her head and said, "Deborah helped me when I was at my lowest. I owe her, so

I don't think she would do something like this. We mustn't give in to the rumors."

"That rumor is everywhere right now. After all, we are the only one at a disadvantage in this matter.

Since she has half of the money, she should divide the half with us. She can't take all the money all by

herself."

"Are you stupid?" Loraine glared at her son, "If Deborah wanted to share the money, she would have

already given the money to you. Why did you wait until now? How can you ask the money from her

without evidence now?"

"Don't we have something against her?" Tommy asked.

"Idiot! Although those secrets are harmful to her, they are also a bad thing for us. If Edric finds out that

we've helped Deborah in her plans before, he would be the first to kill us. You'd better give up that

idea!"

His mother's warning made Tommy break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, his mother was Deborah's

accomplice. If that matter got out, they would be in even more trouble. However, should they just let it

go? No matter how he thought about it, he was not willing to let it go.

When Cecilia came home that evening, Tommy told Cecilia about the matter. Naturally, he did not

mention anything about Deborah scheming with his mother to do horrible things. He only told Cecilia

everything that Sam had shared with him.

Cecilia replied, "I heard about this from two guests in the nightclub today. I was about to come home to

tell you."

"It seems that's more or less the truth?" Tommy was infuriated, "D*mn it. The store got closed down

because of them, but I'm the unlucky victim. The more I think about this, the angrier I get!"

"Yes, they were immoral. No matter what, they should give you half of the money." Since the amount

was in millions of dollars, Cecilia was naturally tempted as well. If they could get the money back, her

relationship with Tommy would bring her benefits, "We have to find a way to get the money back."

"What can we do? We're just normal citizens, and they're officials. We don't have the ability to fight

them!" Tommy sighed.

"We certainly don't have the ability to fight them directly, but we can think of a way, right?" Cecilia

snickered. She had heard about Tommy being lied to, but she had received another shocking news.

Apparently, Mr. Cook's wife was Sugar from Cat Alley!

She had known Sugar since young. Back then, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and Sugar

had been in her peak at Cat Alley. Many gangsters fawned over her and complimented her beauty as

they would think of ways to impress her. She used to admire and envy Sugar and she tried to follow

how she talked and walked. She had hoped that she could become as pretty as her when she grew

older and attract attention from many men.

The man she had liked at that time was a gangster in Cat Alley called Logan. Logan was five years

older than her and was a loyal fan of Sugar. He always thought of ways of getting Sugar's attention by

waiting outside of her house. Sugar had no feelings for Logan. However, Sugar had been brought

home by one of the gangsters one night, and Logan came along. He heard sounds from Sugar and the

gangster in the house, so Logan had uncontrollably thrown stones into the gangster's window. At that

time, Rosa had saved Logan.

At that time, her brother, Jackson, also played a significant role in the Cat Alley. The gangster who had

gone out with Sugar did not dare to offend her brother because she had saved Logan. Naturally, Logan

was grateful for her, and she even deliberately seduced him. Eventually, they had a sexual affair.

Rosa was pregnant by fourteen. Jackson was furious at that time and went to search for the man who

had impregnated his sister. She refused to say, and the matter was then swept under the carpet.

However, Logan had to go into hiding for some time because he was afraid of her brother.

Later, Logan returned to her after her brother got arrested. For that reason, Logan still treated her

nicely, and he still kept in touch with her after he went to another city to be a lorry driver.

She had gone to visit Logan once. Logan had been somewhat drunk and spilled a secret to her that

Sugar had hired him to knock someone down with a car. He said that he was afraid and never wanted

to do such things. Naturally, Rosa supported Logan's decision, so she persuaded Logan not to.

At that time, Logan had agreed to not do such things. However, the next time she went back to that city,

she witnessed Logan crashing into someone on the road.

The woman had lost a lot of blood. It was said that she had died after being sent to the hospital.

Logan had gone home after crashing into someone. Upon seeing Rosa, he lost his wits. Rosa had

witnessed everything and interrogated Logan if he was under Sugar's instructions. However, he

refused to admit it until she threatened to report it to the police. Logan finally spilled the beans and

begged her on his knees to keep the matter a secret.

Rosa had chosen to keep silent because she had feelings for Logan. Later, Logan surrendered himself

to the police and was sent to Jensville for reform through labor. There had been no news about him Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

until now.

Why should she keep this secret for Sugar? Rosa told this matter to Tommy and planned to use it to

threaten Deborah.

It would be a direct strike to Deborah and they would not be involved in the matter themselves. Tommy

immediately agreed upon hearing her idea. They had a discussion and decided to write an anonymous

letter to send to Deborah.

Irene planned to stay for only two days before leaving. However, Steven refused. He insisted Eden and

her to stay for a few more days. However, Deborah was afraid that Irene would do something mean to

Lily. Hence, she found an excuse that Lily had to be sent to a private hospital because she was not

feeling well and left with her. Of course, Tommy did not know that Deborah and her daughter had

moved out. So, the letter ended up in Steven's hands.

When Steven saw no address on the letter, he felt suspicious and tore the letter open. He initially

planned to seal the letter back after reading it. However, he did not expect the contents of it to be such

mind-blowing information. He passed out from rage.

Steven was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment. When he woke up, he stared at the ceiling in

a daze as he could not believe that Myra's death had been plotted by Deborah. Steven's

hatred instantly rose. He wished to skin Deborah alive to vent his hatred.

However, he could not share this matter out in the open nor tell it to the public. If others knew that

Steven had cheated in marriage and his mistress was the one who had killed his wife, he would be

terribly ashamed.

Most importantly, it wasn't just about his reputation, but also that his job would be affected as well.

He had been working so diligently, and he was enjoying the limelight until now. How could he step

down because of this matter? However, it needed to be handled one way or the other. Deborah was

such a vicious woman. He could not forgive her at all! He had to think of a way to get revenge for Myra

so Deborah would feel like she'd rather be dead than alive.
