Three days later,Jane,battered and bandaged,ambushed me in front of the company building.
Her infidelity had ruined her reputation,and she had been fired.
She blocked my path,demanding why I kept targeting her and ruining her “happy life.”She ranted:

“I’ve been married here for years,finally had a child,and everyone—my in-laws, your husband,others—started caring about me.I was about to live the life I wanted.Why did you destroy it?”
It was rush hour,and a crowd from the building gathered around us,looking for a good drama.
Keeping my distance,I calmly recounted everything—from Tom smashing my crystal,Jane framing me for the wine chocolate that got me assaulted,to her seducing my husband.
Jane,speechless,tried to act like a grieving mother.
The crowd,already read about what the police said on the news,jeered:
“Are you serious?You hurt others,cheated,and call yourself the victim?What about the people you harmed?”

“Mistresses are so bold now,confronting people like this?”
“She looks familiar—I saw her at a club a month ago.She was pregnant then,right?”
“Wow,no wonder she lost the baby.”
The crowd’s accusations overwhelmed Jane.Her usual tricks—feigning weakness so that people would pity her—failed.Furious,she lunged at me:

“If ‘m ruined,you’re going down too!”
I dodged aside,and Jane crashed into a pillar,collapsing with a whimper as blood streamed from her head.
The crowd dispersed,and security called 911,saving her life.
Later,during at court divorcing Mark,he tried to claim he and Jane were “discussing parenting tips”in the bedroom.I presented a second set of evidence:his payment of my $38,560 to Jane,medical compensation to Tom’s mother,and their suspicious dining and shopping receipts.
He never imagined that I habeen planning since the start.With his infidelity proven,he left with nothing.I walked away clean,ready for a new life.
I later read about Tom in the news.
After his release,enraged by the 0.01%paternity match,he drank for three days straight and went to a club to confront Jane’s lover.
He found him—a gangster—who beat Tom hard,leaving him with a limp.
Still defiant,Tom hobbled to confront him again,only to be hacked to death by the gang,making headlines.
After leaving the hospital,Jane,with Tom dead and his mother refused to give her any money,had no support.She clung to Mark,begging for him to marry her or support her.
Mark,now aware of who she truly was,refused.They continued pestering each other.
As for me,I quitted,moved to a new city,and opened a bakery,starting a sweet new life.
