Chapter 865: 258: Good or evil will always be rewarded!_6

James Harper gave a long sigh from behind the door, his internal thoughts revealed by Bonnie’s words.

His daughter was right.

If Debby Gamze hadn’t shown her true colors, he might never have known the good side of Bernice.

He was a bastard.

He owed Bernice an apology.

She was a good woman.

...

Bernice continued, “Bing, calm down. Your father isn’t as bad as you think. He was just confused back then.”

“Ha,” Bonnie scoffed, “confused? Confusion leads to abandoning a wife who shared his hardships? That’s not confusion. That’s ingratitude and inhumanity!”

Just then, James Harper pushed open the door, standing before Bonnie. “Bing.”

Bonnie turned her head away, not wanting to spare James Harper even a single look.

James Harper continued, “Bing, you’re right. I’m not a man. I owe an apology to both of you. I know I made a mistake.”

With that, James Harper knelt down in front of his wife and daughter.

Bonnie didn’t react.

Bernice immediately helped James Harper up, “James, what are you doing! Get up!”

James Harper was almost reduced to tears.

Yet to Bonnie, these were nothing more than crocodile tears, unworthy of sympathy.

Her mother was just too naive!

What was so good about this man!

That Bernice was even willing to take him back!

Bonnie, angry, pointed at James Harper and said, “I will never forgive this scumbag! Either he leaves, or I do!”

After speaking, Bonnie turned and ran off.

She was showing her mother through her actions.

This time, her stance was truly firm.

But surprisingly, Bernice did not go after Bonnie, but stopped James Harper who wanted to chase after her, “No need to chase her. She’ll come around after cooling off for a few days.”

James Harper sighed but said nothing.

Bernice continued, “Go freshen up, and we can have breakfast.”

For a moment, it was as if they were back in their old days.

After breakfast, Bernice took James Harper for a walk in the park, and then they had lunch at a restaurant, even rode a carousel together.

That evening.

James Harper sat at the desk in the bedroom, penning a letter. Afterwards, he changed into fresh clothes and headed to the living room. Just as he was about to leave, it seemed he remembered something and gently pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

Bernice was already asleep.

James Harper stood at the door for a few seconds before gently closing it and leaving.

At eleven o’clock at night.

James Harper hailed a taxi on the street, “Take me to the Thompson Group.”

Basing on his understanding of Sawyer Thompson, he was probably still at work at this time.

After all.

The Thompson Group had just gone through a major crisis.

Soon, the taxi reached the entrance of the Thompson Group.

James Harper got out of the car.

A few minutes later, he saw Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne, accompanied by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

The girl walked in between them, her arms linked with Sawyer Thompson’s and Mary Perryne’s.

It wasn’t hard to tell that this was their daughter, Viola Thompson.

Viola, wearing a black bud hat, exuded a unique temperament that couldn’t be masked by the loose white down jacket she wore.

Suddenly.

James Harper felt a pang of envy towards Sawyer Thompson.

He too had a beautiful daughter and a happy family, but unfortunately, he hadn’t held onto them.

Without much thought, James Harper went up to Sawyer Thompson, “Brother Thompson, I’m sorry.”

Sawyer Thompson was taken aback by the sudden appearance of James Harper.

It had been a long time since he’d heard this familiar address.

He and James Harper were once comrades who went through hardships together.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry,” James Harper addressed Mary Perryne.

Mary Perryne sighed, “If you had known the situation today, why did you go through with it in the first place?”

James Harper gave a bitter smile, said nothing, and disappeared into the night.

James Harper got back into the taxi.

This time, his destination was Debby Gamze’s current residence.

James Harper had lived here for more than twenty years.

He was very familiar with this place.

He swiftly made his way inside.

It was one in the morning.

Everyone was asleep.

James Harper first entered his in-laws’ room, and in the darkness, he slit their throats with a single stroke.

Blood spurted out profusely.

It sprayed right onto James Harper’s face.

But he showed no fear. He moved on with his knife to the room of Debby and Jerry Melendy.

His hand rose, and the knife fell.

Soon after, Jerry Melendy was slain in his sleep.

It was then.

Debby Gamze was jolted awake in her dream.

“Ah….”

James Harper remained calm. The house had excellent soundproofing, so even if Debby screamed her throat out, no one would hear her.

Facing James Harper, covered in blood, Debby gamely stammered, “Hu… Husband. I am sorry… I… You….”

She could never have dreamed that James Harper would do such a thing.

James Harper didn’t respond. He took out the ropes he’d prepared and tied up Debby Gamze instantly.

“Husband, let me go. I didn’t mean to betray you. I was forced into it. It was all Jerry Melendy’s fault.”

James Harper put the knife on Debby’s face, “You wretched bitch!”

Upon finishing his sentence, he thrust forward, and Debby’s face was pierced instantly.

It was bone-deep.

Massive amounts of fresh blood sprayed out.

“Ah!”

Debby screamed out in pain.

“Rest assured, I won’t kill you. I want you to remain in this world and live in agony! Whore, you’ve to pay for your sins!”

No sooner had his words stopped echoing, James Harper lashed out with the knife on Debby’s right cheek.

An hour later.

Debby Gamze collapsed in a pool of blood.

James Harper took out the poison he had prepared earlier, gulped it down, and dialed the emergency number.

The police arrived within ten minutes.

James Harper was laying in the blood puddle, unconscious.

The only surviving person at the scene was Debby Gamze.

But she was almost unrecognizable.

Her face was slashed, and both eyes were blinded. Her hands and feet tendons were severed.

The next morning.

Bernice discovered that James Harper was nowhere to be found.

A little worried, she was about to dial his mobile number.

Just at this moment, Bonnie Harper rushed in from outside, “Mom! Mom! Something terrible has happened!”

“What happened?” Bernice asked.

Without waiting for Bonnie to answer, Bernice continued, “Oh yes, your dad’s disappeared, have you seen him?”

Bonnie didn’t know what to tell her mother and handed her the phone, “Mom, look at this.”

Bernice took the phone.

After reading the news headline on it, she staggered back several steps, “Confused! How could he be so confused!”

Bonnie immediately supported Bernice, “Mom, this is their retribution. There’s a reckoning for every deed, you don’t have to grieve for such people.”

Little did she know.

From an angle unseen by Bonnie, a faint smile played at the corners of Bernice’s mouth.

… …

On the top floor of the Financial Tower.

A man stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the scenery below.

He was tall and distinguished, emitting a powerful aura that made it impossible to look him straight in the eye despite doing nothing.

After a moment, his thin lips parted slightly, “How’s the situation handled?” he asked.

His assistant stood behind him, replying respectfully, “Everything is managed effectively.”

Visha Garcia probably couldn’t have imagined that chasing a girl he liked would lead him into a wasteland transformation.

Sending Nako Garcia to a deserted island was also this man’s doing.

Upon hearing this, the man slightly nodded and gently turned the ancient silver ring he wore on his finger, “And the roses? Are they ready?”
