He spoke with deep emotion, his gaze burning, as if he truly held me at the very center of his heart.
But my own heart felt nothing—only an icy chill.
I promised Payton not to prosecute only to protect my family and my daughter in the short term.
In Payton's heart, that woman who shared no blood with him was still his only true family.
This time, I would leave him for good.
As for Sherree, she needs to be held accountable for the crimes she committed.
At that moment, I called my best lawyer friend without hesitation: "Honey, I want to file for divorce, and at the same time, I'm suing the person who hurt my daughter again!"
My lawyer friend, knowing everything I was going through, replied: "One week, just one week, and your divorce agreement will be ready."
"As for suing Sherree, you need to prepare all the evidence again, and we'll send her to jail all at once!"
My voice choked, but I was incredibly firm: "Understood."
In one week, just one week, I could personally avenge my daughter and my brother!
