After His Mistress Murdered Grandma, I Tore Their World Apart

The police acted swiftly, and it wasn't long before Yareli Watkins received a court summons. As a public figure recently embroiled in a high-profile romance, the news of her murder charges quickly went viral, causing a frenzy on social media platforms like Twitter. Yareli's response was straightforward: "Justice will prevail, and I believe the truth will come out. I'll be in court to clear my name!"

Her composed demeanor only emboldened her fans, who attacked me online, casting me as an attention-seeking troublemaker. On the day of the trial, the media was in full force, and the courtroom was packed with her supporters and fans.

As I arrived, I saw Lennon Nichols escorting Yareli with great care. Despite her confident words, Yareli looked pale. It had been days since Lennon and I had seen each other. He hadn’t come home, hadn't returned to work, and hadn't even visited Grandma’s grave. All for this childhood sweetheart!

He looked taken aback. "You're the one making all this fuss?"

"Colette, no matter how hard you try to cause trouble, let me tell you, I've hired the best lawyer. We're going to win this case today!"

I shook with anger. "Who are you accusing of causing trouble?"

He replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "Isn't your dying grandmother just trying to scam people? As if what she got before wasn’t enough, now she wants to use her life to extort money from Yareli! But unfortunately for her, this time her little scheme is bound to fail…”

Before he could finish, I slapped him as hard as I could.

"Are you even listening to yourself? Yareli Watkins is a murderer! The person she killed is—"
