Although what happened to Delilah’s family was a shame, her actions of trying to disfigure and kill Emery

were even crueler.

Even if Emery really did all that, all this wouldn’t have started if Delilah hadn’t stolen Hunter from her.

“It appears you have no idea how powerful the Moore family is given that you dared to hire someone to

splash acid when only two of your family members have been laid off. I would have wiped out your family

if anything had happened to Emery.” Having been silent throughout, Zachary glared at Delilah. It was

rare for someone as aloof as him to display such ferocity.

“Hah…” Delilah sneered. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I only know that the illustrious Emery

resorted to unscrupulous means to destroy my happiness despite having agreed to break up in peace. If

word gets out that she is such a venomous person, I’m afraid the Moore family’s reputation would be

badly affected.”

“Hunter, it seems that you really have good taste in women!” Unable to stand it anymore, I gritted my

teeth and interrupted.

After hurting Emery to this extent, Delilah still dared to act with such defiance. She has definitely outdone

Rebecca in making one feel indignant. Besides, isn’t her so-called happiness stolen from Emery in the

first place?

Realizing that he was also to blame, Hunter hung his head in shame without saying a word. All he did

was shirk away from the situation.

If only Emery had known him better then, she wouldn’t have fallen for him in the beginning.

“Do you think that just by hiring someone desperate you can wash your hands clean of the matter?”

Emery might be soft-hearted, but I wasn’t. “Since we have captured him, I have my ways of making him

talk. Assault alone would earn him three years of prison. With the Moore family’s influence, it would

easily be extended to ten years. As for being the mastermind, you should prepare yourself to spend your

best years in prison.”

Delilah’s beauty was her trump card. By sending her to prison, she would always remember that there

was a price to pay for harming someone indiscriminately.

When she saw how firm I was, she began to panic and averted her gaze from me.

“Let her go, please.” Hunter suddenly pleaded, “She’s pregnant, after all. Let’s all just take a step back.”

Pregnant?

No wonder Emery’s divorce was completed with such haste. This explained everything.

“Hunter, how dare you!” Furrowing his eyebrows intensely, Zachary’s expression was extremely grave. “I

thought that you broke up with Emery because both of you were incompatible. But now, it’s obvious that

you’re just a scumbag!”

Zachary had always been extremely devoted to Cameron. Fiercely loyal, he never thought of anything

else other than spending the rest of his life together with her. Hence, he viewed Hunter’s infidelity with

contempt.

Pursing his lips, Hunter looked at Zachary and gritted his teeth in shame. Thereafter, he turned toward

Emery and sighed. “Emery, I am the one that caused all this. You can blame me and hate me. But

Delilah is right. Her family is innocent. The two of you have each made mistakes. Since we have broken

up, can you let this matter slide on account of Xavier?”

“Xavier?” Emery smirked. “It seems you have forgotten that you abandoned him for another child.”

Hunter didn’t expect Emery to be so calm. Briefly stunned, he was suddenly at a loss for words.

Indeed, Emery was more composed than I had expected. As she shifted her eyes in Delilah’s direction,

she seemed to be looking at her listlessly. “With regards to your accusations, do you have any proof?”

Just as she spoke, everyone was stunned.

Given how sure Delilah sounded, everyone assumed that Emery did everything she had alleged. But

after giving it some thought, it seemed that there might be another possibility.

“You accuse me of causing your father to be sacked and your brother to not be able to secure a job. You

claim that I did all these behind the scenes as revenge for you stealing my man. Unfortunately, you don’t

know me at all. It’s as my brother has said. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have just caused your

family to lose their jobs. In fact, I would have done it openly and you would not have any doubts as to

who is exacting revenge.”
