A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 466

The little girl shivered uncontrollably, eventually begging for mercy, "Mommy, please stop, mommy..."

Rachel abruptly ceased her actions, panting heavily, "Fine, I won't hit you. If Yvan's grandmother sees the bruises, she'll start asking questions, and we don't want that..."

She casually lit a cigarette, then ruthlessly tore Lynn's shirt, pressing it against her back with force. Lynn's body convulsed, her face turned pale, drenched in cold sweat, biting down on her teeth so hard without uttering a word of pain.

Once, twice, thrice, until Lynn's back was covered in scars, Rachel finally let her go. The little girl trembled, her eyes brimming with tears.

That was her mother, yet she felt powerless to resist.

Back then, naive and young, she kept asking herself, is the world always this cruel and heartless?

Until a man came into her life, becoming a beacon of light in her dreary world, only to shatter it by his own hands later on.

He said, yes, Lynn, the world is indeed this cruel and heartless.

...

Yvan moved to an apartment on his own. Carl called him to relay the news that Yvan's impending marriage had swiftly climbed the ranks of various social media platforms, becoming the talk of the town. Sea City's most eligible bachelor, Yvan, was finally getting hitched again!

Hadn't Yvan been married before? What happened to his first wife?

Well, that's news to you, huh? That was five or six years ago. Rumor has it, Yvan's wife committed murder! Yvan had her locked up.

To turn against his own wife? Yvan's ruthlessness knows no bounds.
