Upon hearing this, Damian Knight was left completely speechless.

He had never seen anyone like Henry Stanton; the matter of murder seemed less important to him than whether or not he had been cuckolded.

"Since he’s so eager to know, Sadie, just tell him."

Summer Monroe shot a cold glance at Henry Stanton and said, "To tell you the truth, my mother was never touched by you. She never had you in her heart. Marrying you was just a makeshift plan. She didn’t expect it to be like inviting a wolf into the house, leading herself to mortal danger."

Henry Stanton’s face turned green, and he shouted, "Impossible! That’s impossible! On the wedding night, I clearly already..."

Halfway through his words, Henry Stanton suddenly fell silent.

He suddenly remembered he and Luna Monroe had only been together once, on their wedding night.

That day, he drank too much and couldn’t remember anything after entering the bridal chamber, only recalling seeing a stain of red on the sheets the next morning.

At the time, he didn’t think much of it, assuming he had drunk to the point of blackout, and that Luna Monroe was already his. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

But now, recalling those details, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

Not to mention Luna Monroe had always been cold towards him, what normal couple shares intimacy only once?

So it turns out... Summer really wasn’t his child; he’d been raising another man’s kid all along!

Raging fury surged like a tidal wave, Henry Stanton’s eyes reddened as he shouted, "I’ll kill you! Kill you!"

"You’re mistaken." Summer Monroe approached Henry Stanton, her voice icy. "Right now, you’re the fish on the chopping board, and I’m the knife. It’s no longer the time for you to do as you please, Henry Stanton. Tell me, how should I deal with you? Should I chop off your feet first, or your hands? Let me think, which hand did you use to push my mom..."

"No, no..." Henry Stanton finally realized fear, yelling in terror, "Killing is against the law! You can’t touch me in broad daylight!"

Summer Monroe slapped Henry Stanton hard across the face.

She then wiped her hands, as if removing some disgusting residue, and said, "Don’t worry, just like how you dealt with Stella Monroe, I won’t let you die so easily. It’s not that simple. Let’s settle each score one by one, starting with the villagers’ debt..."

Summer Monroe straightened up, turned to Damian Knight, and said, "The materials I prepared, they’ve been released now."

"Good, I’ll contact the court..."

As Damian Knight spoke, he suddenly remembered someone and reminded Summer Monroe, "Sadie, if you’re taking the legal route first, it’s best to contact your disciple."

"Disciple?" Summer Monroe was momentarily taken aback, then asked, "You mean Irving? That chess-obsessed old man’s apprentice?"

"Yes. Mr. Irving has been promoted again these past two months, and his status in the supreme court is likely higher and more influential than anyone I know."

"Then I’ll contact him now. I wonder if he’ll be willing to handle my troubles," Summer Monroe muttered, dialing the number for "Irving."

The call connected instantly, and after stating her intentions, Summer Monroe worried that if Irving was indeed as formidable as Damian Knight said, he might not want to be bothered with her trivial matters.

To her surprise, Irving’s excited voice came through the line: "Yes, Grandmaster! Your matters are my matters, I’ll do it no matter what! Send me the well-organized materials, I’ll make sure he gets eight hundred years!"

"...Uh."

This reaction was completely unexpected, it seemed Irving really was a complete chess fanatic.
