Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 156

To summarise, he had done everything evil a child was capable of doing-as well as things children should have been incapable of doing-and I had been his target. The only thing in my favor was that he would always remember to call my mother to look for me after one of his pranks.

I was probably extremely fortunate to have managed t o survive every time.

My mother felt very guilty about all of this. She was constantly crying and always hugging me, but she could not do anything about Tyler since she had already accepted the money from the supplier. She could not throw him out.

I grew up in a harsh environment under the shadow of Tyler's torment, which took a toll on both my physical and mental state. It was the root cause of my future illness.

When I was 15, Tyler graduated from high school. At that time, he was gaining popularity due to his computer skills. He had taken part in a competition at school and had gotten first place nationwide. I remember he said that he would become the best hacker in the country.

However, an accident crushed his dreams. It also

granted me an escape.

That year, Tyler’s father’s factory was reported to have been producing counterfeit products. When the Industry and Commerce ministry sent someone over t o investigate, the accountant of the factory, on his own accord, gave the authorities evidence of Tyler's father evading taxes, his corruption, and his involvement with bribery. He also gave them proof of his money laundering.

This accountant was my best friend and classmate's father-Cecilia's father.

With concrete evidence, Tyler’s father was found guilty and sentenced to prison. His wife, who was in Whaldorf City, filed for a divorce to prove her innocence. The loss of his career and family was a double whammy, and it broke the camel’s back.

Tyler's father could not take it, and he chose to end his life in prison.

When the news came, Tyler locked himself in his room for three days.

Three days later, it was stormy and rainy in the afternoon. My mother had gone to the city to sell eggs, and I was alone at home, so I had gone over to Cecilia’s house to finish up some homework.

When it came nighttime, Tyler barged into the house abruptly and questioned Cecilia’s father about his intentions behind reporting Tyler's father. They got into a huge quarrel. Before Tyler left, he left three words behind-"Just you wait."

The ruthless malice and evil that had been in his eyes had made him look like a demon from hell. Till today, I could still clearly remember what he had looked like.

That night, Cecilia and I went to bed without dinner as we were too terrified. Who could have guessed that the next morning when we woke up, both Cecilia's parents would both be sickly in bed? They passed away soon after they reached the hospital. The conclusion that the doctors drew was that it was due t o food poisoning.

The policeman found poisonous mushrooms in the leftovers in Cecilia’s home. Since cases of food poisoning like Cecilia’s parents were very common in the village, no one said anything more about it besides expressing their condolences. It was treated like any other accident.
