I could feel my anger simmering beneath the surface, an intense hatred bubbling over for this arrogant idiot.
Edward, undeterred, merely scoffed. "Illegal? I'll show you what real lawbreaking looks like."
With that, he turned to his bodyguards and ordered, "Smash the place!"
His men immediately sprang into action, tearing apart my apartment. Within minutes, my once neat and orderly home was reduced to ruins and no single item was left unbroken.
Gritting my teeth, I spat, "You think you can do whatever you want without facing the consequences? You really believe the law won't touch you?"
Edward's sneer deepened. "The law? The law will deal with scum like you. How much have you stolen from Claire over the years? Everything in this apartment was bought with her money. I’m not breaking the law but reclaiming what’s rightfully hers."
His words were filled with righteous indignation, as if he was the hero bringing justice to a wrongdoer.
Glancing at the clock, I realized that there were only thirty minutes left before Claire’s affair—and miscarriage—would happen. The show was about to begin.
