Chapter 261 Into the Gutter

Yunice gave a cold, twisted smile. Paul Powell had won this round.

Finished

I had heard too many accusations in my life. I no longer wasted energy explaining myself to those who didn’t believe me.

Lifting the hem of her wedding dress, she turned and walked away, not even looking back at Wyatt to see his reaction.

Her mind was strangely calm. No sense of injustice. No sorrow.

All she could think about was one thing—how to destroy Paul Powell.

“Yunice.”

The familiar voice made her stop and turn.

The hostility vanished from her face in an instant, replaced by a soft, harmless expression.

Carl walked slowly toward her, each step heavy and deliberate.

His pace

said it all; he had thought carefully before calling to her.

Seeing the seriousness on his face, Yunice’s heart sank fast and hard.

There was a flicker of pleading in her eyes, silently begging him not to say anything that would shame her further.

Cari frowned and remained silent for a few seconds before finally raising his hand and patting her arm with quiet disappointment.

“Put those bad thoughts away. Concentrate on your work from now on. Don’t make me feel like I misjudged you.”

Yunice clutched her wedding dress tightly. His words were more painful than if he’d scolded me directly.

As he walked past her, she looked up slightly to see Victor following.

Victor gave her a distant smile and walked away without a word.

Once everyone was gone, Yunice felt as if her strength had been completely drained.

She dragged the heavy dress back to her room to change.

I didn’t care what Wyatt thought of me, because I never expected love from him.

Marrying him was only about gaining a powerful ally.

He cherished me, and I want to return that kindness with everything that is good in me.

But before I had the chance, he was already disappointed in me.

The guilt grew inside her like a thorn rooted in her flesh.

I can go and explain everything to Carl, explain what had happened today, and prove my innocence.

But I couldn’t go back in time. I couldn’t stop the rumors. I couldn’t close every gossiping mouth.

Finished

Still, I wouldn’t carry this guilt forever. And I certainly wasn’t going to wear that dirty label for the rest of my life.

The reason I haven’t poisoned Paul yet is because I want to keep him alive so he could be forced to confess to every vile thing he’s done over the years.

Wyatt’s wedding ring is expensive. I can’t just let it disappear.

Given what I knew about Paul, how much he hated Wyatt. He probably would’ve thrown the ring away.
