He was a womanizer. Back then, the inte was still underdeveloped. Rumor had it that the number of young women he had deceived was more than one could count. One of them happened to suffer the worst fate among the rest.

She did not even know Jack''s real identity and was deceived by his honeyed words. She dropped out of the best college, saying that she wanted to stay by his side to take care of him.

Then, she became pregnant. The time she went intobor happened to coincide with the time Jack got into trouble at thepany. It was only then that she found out about Jack''s harem of mistresses outside.

What was more, he was already married, and his wife was a ruthless person. Without any hesitation, his wife had the woman burned alive even though she had just gotten out of the maternity ward not too long ago.

That horrifying incident took ce at the entrance of thergest luxury retailplex.

Because of that incident, countless rumors went around at the time, saying that the mall was haunted.

Meanwhile, Jack had his wits. The moment he got wind of the news, he had all his assets and properties transferred offshore. He lived avish and carefree life abroad.

The winter that year was the coldest winter to ever hit the country.

Jack was involved in the real estate business. Dozens of people had their sries owed for many years. They were eventually driven to the brink of death, and they put an end to their lives by leaping off a building with their families.

What people found even more repulsive was the fact that Jack kept a public blog while living abroad. Even today and despite the fact that he was already 60 years old, he was still publishing all sorts of outrageous blog posts. Therefore, his name remained familiar even to the inte users of today.

Jodie happened to be that very pitiful orphan whose gullible mother was set on fire and whose utterly heartless father had fled the country.

As for why Ethan had taken Jodie in, nobody knew the reason for it. Nheless,

it was a fact that Jodie had been living a good life.

Now that it was exposed that she had ties to the corrupt official who had destroyed the lives of so many families, her status was no longer one of prestige.

Themunity in Druville began discussing frantically among themselves.

"Our family still remembers Jack. They said the winter that year was extremely cold. When they walked past the mall, dozens of peoplemitted suicide by jumping off the building."

"Not only did he fail to pay the employees, but there were a lot of people who ended up not getting the houses they bought but were still forced to continue paying off their loans. Some even starved to death."  s

"Jack Quinn is a name that should be nailed on history''s ''Hall of Shame,'' even if it''s decades from now."

"I can''t help but feel sorry for Jodie''s birth mother. She was an honor student. She thought that she had found true love, but she was burned to death in the end and had her child thrown into the dumpster.

"Jodie sure is lucky."

"Lucky? Who do you think was the one who exposed her identity? Her life is definitely going to be worse than her mom''s from hereon."

This news soon reached the general public. Theizens had alsoe to know

about this matter. Once again, Jack''s name was trending.

A lot of people began sharing what they knew about that horrendous winter.

The inte exploded withmentaries wanting Jodie-Jack''s remaining descendant-out of Eldoria, iming that such a person was not weed in the

country.

The Henderson family was also thrust into the spotlight.

The public questioned the Hendersons intention in bringing someone like her into their family and ever letting her live avish life. Even if her birth mother had an unlucky life and was the victim in all of this it did not change the fact that the blood flowing within her was contaminated. That meant she should get the hell out of the country!  s

Jodie was lying in the hospital. With her limbs injured, she was not able to use her phone which also meant that she had no idea. was going on outside. Nevertheless, she could feel the nurse who was in charge of her mistreating her, and it worsened by the day.  s

One of the two nurses who came in today had even pinched her wound on purpose.

She was so angry that she started acting all elitist and snobbish.

"You did that on purpose, didn''t you? Do you even know who I am? I''ll tell Uncle

Ethan and it''ll be the end of you and your family!"
