Chapter 9
“I was furious. She had already married into the Brooks family, yet she still dared to seduce you right under my nose.”
“Daniel, didn’t you say you wanted me to find a tool to bear children for us?”
“There are so many women in this world. We can just pick another one, can’t we? We don’t need Emily Carter. I hate her…”
A surge of blood rushed to Daniel Reed’s head.
Enraged and humiliated, he slapped Chloe Miller hard across the face.
“Chloe, how could you become so vicious?”
“You weren’t like this before-you used to be kind, innocent. How could you commit something so cruel?”
A single tear slid down the corner of Daniel’s reddened eye.
He shut his eyes tightly and sighed heavily.
‘Chloe, it’s me. I spoiled you all these years, and this is what you’ve become.”
But people must pay the price for their actions.”
Chloe froze, panic flashing across her face.
Daniel, what do you mean? What are you going to do to me?”
Daniel slowly opened his eyes, now cold and distant, stripped of every trace of affection.

Daniel didn’t argue.
Instead, he played the surveillance video for them.
By the end, both of their faces had gone deathly pale.
‘Emmy… the one she killed was Emmy?”
Even my parents, who had always despised me, broke into tears at the sight of the brutal ootage.
‘I don’t believe that woman in the video is Chloe! That’s not a human-that’s a demon.”
The two strongest shields protecting Chloe crumbled in an instant.
The verdict came swiftly.
Chloe Miller was found guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced to death.
Ryan Brooks, while guilty of domestic violence, was convicted of severe assault and sentenced o fifteen years in prison.
When Ryan was arrested, he was already a broken man, his mind shattered. Instead of resisting

Finally, the ghost won’t come after me anymore…”
Everyone thought he had lost his mind, traumatized beyond repair.
But no one knew the truth.
ince my death, unable to reincarnate, I had haunted the Brooks household.
yan, once a healthy man, became paranoid and hollow after my repeated visits. In just two nonths, he had lost over thirty pounds.
According to the Brooks family’s housekeeper, he hadn’t slept a full night during that time.
Every night he either woke screaming from nightmares, or swore he saw a ghost.
Sometimes, he even saw me-coming to claim his life.
