That was not the only thing. Hunter''s assistant even added a text message to rub it in on him.


    [This text message serves as my notice to resign, Mr. Lovett. You brought this on yourself because of your arrogance and self-righteousness. I''ve had enough of your abuse. I refuse to be your ve any longer! I''d have taken things into my hands a long time ago if we weren''t living in a civilized society. See you never! P/S: Congrattions on your seized business!]


    Hunter scoffed, clutching his phone tremblingly.


    He had never been so humiliated.


    "I spoke my truth. This is the consequence of your action. You brought this on yourself."


    rence gritted his teeth in disappointment. "But even to this day, you show no remorse. You couldn''t stand to see Steve happy either, so you roped Mom and Dad in and used them against Steve to destroy his hard-earned happiness.


    "When have you be a monster, Hunter? Are we not your family? You always wanted us to y second fiddle to you. You''d do anything to stop us from outshining or surpassing you, all to feed that deep, dark vanity of yours. You feel most happy when we live less than you."


    Red in the face, Hunter refuted. "W-What are you talking about? I never thought that!”


    "You''re jealous because Steve found a nice girl like Ms. Amelia. She came from wealth and privilege. Ms. Be and Mr. Salvador are also in her corner. You couldn''t stand that, so you talked badly about Ms. Amelia to Mom and Dad in hopes of breaking Steve and Ms. Amelia up."


    rence shifted his gaze to Neil. "I have learned about Charles from the inspectors and police. Charles isn''t close to Ms. Amelia as Hunter said. They hadn''t met more than a few times. Charles wanted to be associated with the Thompsons through marriage, but his dreams fell through. He colluded with Astrid to set Ms. Amelia up by drugging her and sleeping with her. That way, Chairman Thompson would marry his daughter to Charles. Thank goodness that didn''t happen."


    Amelia closed her tearful eyes as humiliation washed over her.


    Even though Charles was dead, the scars of her trauma remained. It took quite a struggle for Amelia to pull through, only for Hunter to rip her wounds wide open and attack her.


    Steven caught Amelia''s shaking


    body and held her tight in his arms, his hand rubbing her back. Tearing up, Steven tried to console her, but all the words in his mouth were left unspoken. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    His emotions for her showed in his eyes and tears.


    "I was supposed to preside over Charles'' sexual assault case, so b had insights. It''s a shame the monster died before the case went to court. I would''ve tried himdike I tried Shannon."


    Neil and Chelsea were shocked, to say the least.


    Growing up, Hunter always painted himself as a kind brother and son. He had always been Neil''s and Chelsea''s pride as a highly sessfulwyer.


    Though Hunter defended Shannon


    in court, Neil and Chelsea believed Hunter was just doing his job. Neil and Chelsea even suspected that Be and Justin were stirring the pot, causing public outrage to attack Hanter.


    However, they were shocked and puzzled to find Hunter looking away in guilt.


    They might have gotten the wrong idea about Amelia.


    Neil and Chelsea wondered if Hunter did all that just to hurt Steven.
