Chapter 1403
Hylda froze and immediately tried to flee. But it was too late. One of the police officers tackled her to the ground and put her inhandcuffs. Her face was drained of color. Hylda realized that her time was up and did not resist the arrest.
As the police escorted her away, she stole a glance toward the corner where lan stood. He looked expressionless.Suddenly, it all made sense to her, and she began to curse.
Humans are selfish creatures. Hylda was at the end of her road and could no longer turn things around. 'I guess our ten- yearrelationship meant nothing to him. | used all my connections and means to get him married to Irene, yet this is how he repaysme. Though, | can't blame him. He is now a part of the Moore family. Why would he want to derail his own life for me?"
As Hylda was taken into custody, news of the suitcase murder case's perpetrator being caught spread like wildfire. The city, oncefraught with anxiety and restlessness due to the case, became peaceful again.
Hylda readily admitted to killing Walter. When questioned about the reason for her actions, she remained remarkably composed,stating that she wanted to see her husband and make arrangements for her children.
‘Walter was the one who was extorting and threatening me. Moreover, he had a knife at the time. As long as Albertmakes into finding a skilled lawyer for me, | could at least argue that it was self-defense,’ she thought.
However, Hylda's illusions were shattered by the police when they told her that someone had reported her involvement inRainee's car crash. When they questioned Albert, he claimed she was the mastermind behind the whole thing. He removedhimself from the picture, insisting that Hylda was consumed by jealousy and plotted the accident.
Hylda could not believe her ears. Suddenly, she burst into laughter that sounded crazed. It got louder and louder as her eyesfilled with tears. Albert had fended himself in the face of disaster. He showed no trace of affection and abandoned her without asecond thought.novelbin
For over two decades, Hylda had kept her head down and obeyed Albert's every command. She could not accept that this wasthe end. 'Why the hell did | ever fall for Albert?’ She thought.
Hylda was in her prime back then. She had just come out of her remote, impoverished hometown. Even though she attended arelatively unheard medical school, she always held her head high. She aspired to change her destiny through her collegeentrance exam, where she could enter an Ivy League school and get a good job.
With Rainee's support, she could focus on her studies without being burdened by life's hardships. She was just a step away fromgetting into college when Albert came along. He tricked her into having sex with him and got her pregnant. He robbed her of theone chance she had to
change her future. She was blinded by a web of lies.
To turn her dreams into reality, Hylda endured humiliation and went as far as to harm her benefactor. In the end, she was blamedfor Rainee's murder.
Hylda had placed her hopes in the wrong person from the very beginning. She recalled what Rainee had said when shesupported her financially all those years ago. She had warned her not to rely on anyone else but herself. "Only when youbecome strong can you face this world fearlessly,” said Rainee at the time.
Hylda did not take her seriously. She assumed it was easy for someone who had not experienced the hardships of life to saythat.
"Unlike her, | come from a poor family with nothing to my name. How am | supposed to climb the social ladder by myself? Howlong would it take for me to succeed in this world? Rainee doesn't know what she's talking about. She wouldn't haveaccumulated such wealth without her wealthy parents,’ thought Hylda.
