Oops, I’ve Been Exposed

Woody’s eyes were terrifying.

Trudy and Dickson were scared. Their faces paled, and they started to tremble.

It was like they could see mountains of dead bodies through his cold eyes filled with blood lust. It was as if Death itself was staring into their souls.

Back then, the lawyer told Woody that the Yorks worked hard and got the victim to issue a letter of forgiveness. That way, there was a chance for him to get a lighter sentence.

If that were the case, then the Yorks would’ve been the good guys. Woody’s sacrifice would’ve been worth it.

After all, Shane was just a lecturer. Teaching was the only thing he knew how to do. Meanwhile, developing and maintaining connections would require skill. That was something Shane was bad at.

Who would’ve thought that the letter of forgiveness was acquired through Shane’s money, which he scraped together by selling his house and borrowing from loan sharks?

Dickson felt a chill down his spine. He could no longer take the pressure and was about to tell the truth.

“The truth is …”

“The truth is that they weren’t the only ones that sold their house. We sold our house, too.”

Trudy quickly cut in and took over the conversation.

She glared at Woody and said, “It’s the house you said you would stay in after the marriage. We had a deal. We lived there, too. That house was also partially ours.”

When Woody first met Pamela, the Yorks were still living in the suburbs.

Trudy worked the lands, and Dickson was a driver. They lived in worse conditions than the neighborhood they were standing in at the moment.

Woody took out the money he had saved up from working part-time jobs in university and the money he had earned from his full-time job after graduation to buy a house. The house was for him and Pamela to live in after they got married.

But he took into consideration the living conditions of the Yorks. So, he invited them to stay with him. The entire family moved into their new home happily.

Trudy shifted her gaze all over the place. Then, she yelled, “Pamela sold that house despite our dissuasion. It was all to gain Mr. Donnel’s forgiveness.

“That was the only place we had to live. We were homeless after we sold it. Even if you were the one who bought it, my daughter’s name is on the deed. You put her name on it willingly.

“We could’ve chosen not to sell it. But it was still sold, and the money was spent on you. We don’t owe you anything!”

Dickson quickly came to his senses, too. He said, “That’s right. Then you repaid our kindness with enmity. You beat up my wife and son. We can’t find you, so we came to Shane for the medical expenses. What’s wrong with that?”

The anger on Woody’s face subsided a little. He said coldly, “If there is anything you want to discuss, tell Pamela to come instead. You may leave now. I took the fall and went to prison for your son. We’re square now.”

Even if traces of affection remained, they were all gone after Pamela asked for a divorce.

Besides, Pamela was the one who suggested they sell the house. It had nothing to do with Dickson or Trudy.

Woody didn’t need to be grateful to them, nor did he need to show them any courtesy.

Truth be told, the money was never used on Woody. The two of them hid the money and told Pamela that they had given it all up to Kurt.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Then, they found a logical reason to take that money out and have Pamela start a business with it.

York Corporation was able to become what it was because of this money, which was used as starting capital, and the help from the Cartwrights.

At that moment, Woody didn’t know about any of that.

Trudy raised an eyebrow and glared at him. “You expect us to go without getting any money? Do you think we’re beggars?”

“There’s no need to waste your breath with him. He messed up our plans and beat Brutus up so badly that he’s hospitalized. I have to punch him a few times to vent my anger.”

Dickson rushed toward Woody while swinging his fists.
