Chapter 88 Condemnation of a Painful Past
I gazed at her calmly and responded. “You should probably ask your brother that.”
“What do you mean? Don’t try to play games with me,” Melanie retorted in frustration.
Johnson interjected and told me, “Ms. Chloe, calm down.”

‘I glanced at Johnson, then stepped forward to lock eyes with Melanie. I questioned her,
“Remember when I was alone at the airport on that rainy night? Wasn’t he sleeping with
you on my bed?
“When Ava was in the hospital with a high fever, he didn’t leave us a single cent but was
having sex with you at a hotel in Operose. Do you remember those photos you sent me,
Melanie?”
Melanie looked at me helplessly as her confidence faded,

Matthew as I spoke, “Care to enlighten us, Matthew? What’s my relationship with Mr.
Atlas?”
I confidently told everyone about my meetings with Atlas. However, I omitted the fact that
he had saved me many times.
Matthew raised his head, looking stunned. “You knew everything?”
I smiled bitterly at him and asked, “What do you think? Should I keep going?”
Ivanna seized the opportunity to criticize him. “You’re truly shameless. I thought you were
just having some flings or affairs with people you engage with during work. I never
expected you to stoop so low as to sleep with your sister.”
Her words were harsh, but the Murphys could say nothing about it.
Ivanna continued, “What was I expecting anyway? She said you two had your first time at
a bar, right? Did your dear sister drug you, too? How bizarre! No wonder Chlo suddenly
lost so much weight, and I kept tell by her to see a doctor, it seems she was too disgusted
by you two to eat.)

Ivanna’s words made me sadder as I said, “I wanted to ignore everything, especially since
it was so disgraceful. I could endure this humiliation alone, for Ava’s sake. Although it
made me sick, I consoled myself and tried to endure the filthy truth.
“I thought no one would discover your affairs if I didn’t make a scene. I wasn’t afraid of
you or tarnishing your family’s reputation. I did everything for Ava. She’s still a child, and I
didn’t want people gossiping
about her family’s disgraceful acts.”
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I continued, “But you thought I was a fool. It wasn’t
enough for you to
take everything from me, but you even told Melanie to drug me and get a group of men to
rape me. You’re
heartless, Matthew.”
“I didn’t do that!” Matthew protested.
“Don’t blame my brother! He had nothing to do with that. I just wanted you out of my
family! Melanie shouted at me.
Grace wailed in despair, “What a tragedy for our family! Y–You bastard!”
I stared at Matthew’s parents, saying, “My dedication toward Tanum Corporation has never
wavered since I founded it. I considered your family my own and set aside my parents. I
even used the money they invested in the company to serve your family.
“Yet this is how you repay me? You live in the house I bought, yet you want to push me
down and trample on my dignity? How dare you criticize me over your mistakes?”
Meanwhile, Henry’s expression turned solemn as he bit his lip and glanced at his son. I
knew Henry wanted Matthew to defend him.

“I’ve made preparations long ago, so you don’t need to take my phone away. I’ll show

After taking a breath, I said, “I will defend my dignity, even if I have nothing left. You may
secure the contract with ATL Empire, but do you think they’ll want to work with you once
they see the ugly truth?
“Matthew, you have lost all morality. As for your sister, she has an evil heart, and I will
make sure she faces the consequences.” I glanced at Matthew again before walking away.
“Chloe, no!”
