Chapter 459 The Taste of Her Own Medicine
Ka–chunk, ka–chunk. The clerk pressed the official scal onto both marriage certificates, finalizing the lea union between Owen and Peggy.
Peggy snatched hers up, beaming from ear to car. Owen, however, looked like a man walking to his own funeral. He didn’t even glance at it. (D
The moment the paperwork was done, Owen turned and stormed off. When he saw Yunice standing nearby watching the show, he paused to snap, “Happy now? Got your revenge?”
Yunice looked back at him with calm disdain–just watching his impotent rage without saying a word.
Once he left, Peggy quickly latched onto Yunice’s arm. “Come on, take me to the Saunders family home Give me the grand tour.
She still had no idea where the Saunders residence even was. She’d tried asking Owen earlier, but he refused to tell her.
Yunice said, “Let’s head outside first.”
Peggy, eager to please her new sister–in–law, followed along without complaint.
Out in the courtyard, Yunice finally stopped and turned to her with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Congratulations. You got what you wanted.”
Peggy, sensing something off, giggled. “What do you mean?”
Yunice adjusted her sleeve where Peggy had wrinkled it. “You pulled off the con. Congratulations.”
Peggy’s expression stiffened. Just as she was about to blow up, Yunice calmly cut her off. “You studied medicine, didn’t you? You should know that a drunk man physically can’t get an erection.”
Peggy panicked. “There are exceptions! Medical journals say it’s possible–maybe Owen’s just… gifted!”
Yunice said coolly, “I’ve studied a bit of traditional diagnostics. I can tell a man’s physical state from his face. Owen’s never had any sexual experience.”
Yunice added, “If Owen and Elsie had insisted on going to court today, your fabricated evidence would’ve fallen apart. You wouldn’t just lose the case–you’d be liable for damages.”
Peggy
choked on her next breath, but then crossed her arms and scoffed. “What does it matter now? You signed the agreement, the license is stamped. There’s no going back!”
“Exactly,” Yunice said with a smirk.“That’s why now is the perfect time to expose you.”
Peggy blinked. She didn’t understand.
Things were going exactly the way she’d planned. She was officially part of the Saunders family. Yunice was even paying for her wedding.
What was there to go back from?

Sensing her tension, Yunice smiled. “Relax. I won’t out you. But remember this you marked with Saunders family, not into me. So whatever you do from here on, stay out of my way
Then she leaned in and whispered into Peggy’s car. “Because if you don’t, I’ll show you what a real shameless person looks like.”
Peggy’s stomach dropped.
She stared warily after Yunice as she walked away. The joy of just getting married vanished into thin air.
A moment later, Peggy’s phone pinged. She looked down–it was a message from Yunice:
An address.
The Saunders family’s address.
Just like that, all her nerves were forgotten. Excited, Peggy hailed a cab and rushed off toward her new home.
In Yunice’s car, the butler caught her smiling faintly in the rearview mirror.
She looked out the window, her expression one of complete satisfaction.
There was no revenge more satisfying than lived experience. Now Owen would finally understand what it felt like.
But it would be even more interesting if things got messier.
Yunice asked, “Did Wyatt say what time he’s coming back?”
The butler replied, “He called earlier. Said he has a meeting and told you not to wait up.”
So he wouldn’t be home anytime soon.
Yunice had nothing better to do, so she said, “Take me to the office.”
