"No, Dad. Mom isn't this kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding," Melanie explained as she shook her head.
"Enough, Melanie. I caught wind of it from other people," Joel said exasperatedly. "When the police barged in, your mom was pulling on Walter's shirt in the warehouse in broad daylight. During Walter's interrogation by the police, he revealed that he has been having an affair with her for four to five years. They met each other once a month on average either i n the hotel, car, or even outdoors." 1
A ghastly expression washed over Melanie's face when she heard those words.
Damien became more agitated as he continued to speak. He seemed like a wild animal that had lost control. Despite being crippled, he managed to smash everything around him. His eyes were filled with intense bitterness.
"She has always looked down on me. She despises me for being a cripple." Damien thumped his legs." Because of her, I even killed Sheryl, went against the entire Yule family, and took all the blame. But instead of being grateful to me, she just treated me as a tool."
Melanie was astounded to hear that. "Dad, you... You
were the one who killed Sheryl?”
Damien nodded with a complicated look in his eyes. "I was in love with your mom back then, but Joel was the one whom she was fond of. She was set on marrying him. So to please your mom, I purposely gave your grandpa and granny suggestions for framing Joel and your mom. We made them sleep together, but Joel didn't touch your mom at all. But for the sake of getting pregnant with a Yule family's child and marrying Joel, she asked me for help.
Melanie gulped when she came to the realization that her mother was so crazy and bold.
Damien said with a sigh, "I had a friend who worked i n the World Meteorological Organization. He told me that a typhoon was forecast to hit Country T. So I deliberately called Sheryl and told her that my brother was drunk and beaten in Country T, and he kept murmuring her name. Sheryl quickly rushed there and was swept away by the typhoon that night."
