Chapter 527

If he wanted to investigate it, then he could go ahead and do it. I would not stop him either, but he

would never hear the answer from me. I did not want to talk about what had happened because I

would have the urge to cry whenever I thought about it.

When the car was approaching the gown store, I asked, "There'll be a lot of people at the banquet

tomorrow night, right?"

Tyler nodded. "All the dignified people in Whaldorf City are coming-including reporters, of course."

"Reporters are coming too?"

This was something I did not expect.

Tyler raised his eyebrows. "Of course. How could they miss such a big event?"

Honestly, I hated reporters and did not like being exposed to their cameras. When I was in Salt City

back then, all the news about me was meant to taunt and ridicule me. I would often be pointed at

when I walked on the streets, which had caused great distress to my life. It would be strange if I

liked these reporters, no?

When the car arrived at the entrance of the gown store, Tyler got out of the car and stuffed the car

key i

n my handbag. "Keep it for me."

I felt a little speechless. "I'm not your girlfriend. Do you think it’s appropriate to do this?"

"I'm doing it precisely because it's inappropriate," Tyler said with a straight face.

I did not bother discussing this further with him and said, "After this banquet, everyone in the

country will know that I’m the Schumans' daughter. This identity will be a solid truth.”

Tyler nodded.

I gradually smirked. "I'm grateful to Carlson for thinking so highly of me."

Seeing the malice in my smile, Tyler raised his eyebrows. "What are you trying to say?"

"Back then, I used to think that it’s important to be lenient whenever possible and play my part, that

there's no need to go too far. But that’s not what I think anymore. Not only do I want to ruin Petra

and Grayson’s reputation, but I also want them to get down on their knees and beg me to let them

go."

After a pause, I continued, "As for Cindy, I want her to experience the same pain I went through. I

want her t o feel the pain of losing people who are important to her with no one else to keep her

company. I want her t o remain alone until the day she dies."

Tyler furrowed his brows. "What are you trying to do specifically?"

"Didn’t I hand you a copy of the information earlier?"

I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I stabbed Cindy and caused her to lose her child. After Petra was investigated, her reputation was

tarnished and she was slapped with an astronomical amount of compensation. The internet is

voicing out against her as well. I thought all of that would be enough. But thinking about it now, I

don’t think it's enough. I want to expose all of Petra’s hideous past to the public so everyone can

see her monstrous and vicious heart underneath her dazzling appearance."

If one wanted to take revenge, one must first discard morality and compromises. How else was one

supposed to take revenge?

Back then, my mother used to tell me to stay good and innocent no matter what. However, she did

not tell me that not everyone had a mother and not all mothers would educate their children this

way.

One’s kindness and innocence would turn to a joke in front of those who had hideous hearts. They

would treat your innocence as naivety and kindness as stupidity.

I came into this world not to be crushed under someone else's weight all the time and be bullied

forever. Since kindness and innocence were useless against them, I would follow in their footsteps,

then.

He who fought with monsters should look to it that he himself did not become a monster, but I was

willing to

become one.

Tyler cast his eyes down and said after a very long time. "Wandy, you're nothing like you used to be

anymore. You've turned into a completely different person."

I raised my eyebrows. "Isn't this good?"

Tyler smirked and opened his arms. "Congratulations on your new life, Wandy."

He hugged me and put his lips closer to my ear. " That's right. You have to make those who hurt you

pay a painful price."

My lips curled into a smile. "Okay."
