Chapter 251
Over two decades of waiting, and it all turned out to be a cruel joke.
Seizing her chance, Wendy unleashed a fury of blows upon Elaine right there and then.
When Elaine emerged from the apartment building once more, she was the picture of misery.
She contemplated her options.
“Might as well be dead,” she thought.
But then again, why should she die? To make way for that homewrecker?
No, she couldn’t die. She needed to make Hancock pay. She wanted to see him ruined, his reputation in tatters.
As a doctor, he needed not only medical ethics but also morality and character.
Having been Hancock’s wife for so many years, Elaine knew plenty of his dirty little secrets.
Nothing earth–shattering
But certainly enough to ensure he’d never recover.
Upon returning home, Elaine organized the incriminating information she had, ready to hand it over to Hancock’s rivals.
That was when Hancock came back…
Looking at Hancock who had shared her bed for over twenty years, Elaine felt a stir of emotion.
She thought to herself, “If Hancock were to kneel before her with tears in his eyes begging for forgiveness, maybe she’d give him another chance”
But he didn’t.
Instead of showing remorse, Hancock slapped her hard across the face, “You wretch. Why go after Wendy? Do you have any idea how much you’ve foghtened Carl? You harlot. If anything happens to Carl, I swear I’ll make you pay.”
With those words, Hancock tumed and left without a backward glance

At fifty–six no matter how well she took care of herself, she couldn’t compete with the twenty–three–year–old Wendy.
Especially since Wendy had given him a son.
Elaine watched Hancock walk away, laughing bitterly, “Well done, Hancock. That slap was perfect. You couldn’t have done it better”
That slap severed all the emotional ties of the past two decades.
Without hesitation, Elaine sent the information she had gathered to Hancock’s competitors.
Retribution, after all, was swift.
The next day, Hancock’s affair was the talk of the town. At the hospital, he was treated like a pariah, with everyone shunning him.
And that wasn’t all, he was exposed for inflating medical bills and harassing female patients.
Once the news broke, he was swiftly dismissed from his position.
Not to mention, he was facing a slew of lawsuits from patients‘ families.
Just when Elaine was relishing Hancock’s downfall, another piece of news shattered her world.
Sallie had been detained
And it seemed likely that she’d be convicted.
These sudden calamities devastated the family. Elaine’s hair turned white overnight as she withdrew all her savings, determined to bail out Sallie at any cost.
In just two days, Elaine aged what seemed like twenty years. She let go of all the house help, mortgaged the villa and other properties, moving from a luxurious mansion to a gloomy, sunless basement.
The moming calmness of the Yeager family was shattered by a sudden knock at the door.
Vanessa walked over to answer it, “Who is it? What’s with the early disturbance?”
As she opened the door, she was met by several police officers.
Vanessa’s sleepiness vanished in an instant, “Good morning, officers. How can I help you?”
“Are you relatives of Saul Yeager? Saul is a suspect in a fraud case and we need him to come with us for questioning”
