Chapter 98 I Might Kill Someone
Melody made a call to inform Eric that the police had obtained video evidence of him forcing himself on Kelly during their marriage. Now, Eric had to cooperate with the investigation. Despite hiring a lawyer, he‘ would still face 48–hour detention.
During these 48 hours, Dawn was frantic, running around, crying, and begging people for help.
Unfortunately, the Lynches had no interest in Eric and looked down on Dawn. Out of self–preservation, Beau refused to assist her.
Dawn had no choice but to take Faye and stay in a hotel,
In Summerhill, Kelly had already won over the neighborhood.
She had sent cash gifts in the community chat and placed candy on every floor of the building, proudly announcing that she was Eric’s wife.
News about Regina being the mistress had long spread among the neighbors.
Eric’s lawyer had finally managed to get him released. After 48 hours without proper rest, he returned home, looking disheveled.
When he saw a neighbor, he politely greeted a neighbour. “Hi, Linette.”
To his surprise, Linette shot him a glare before turning to gossip with her friends. “It’s always challenging to know a person’s true nature. He looks so good on the outside, but while his wife is off saving the world, he’s at home married to his mistress, even fathering a child. That girl is nothing but an illegitimate child,”
“That girl is an illegitimate child? I knew something was off about her–she has the look of a seductress.”
“Like mother, like daughter.”
Eric froze, his brows furrowing as he stared at Linette. “Where did you hear all this?”
Linette rolled her eyes at him. “What’s the matter? You won’t even admit your own wife, living in the house she bought for you, while you’re living with your mistress? You small–town gold diggers are disgusting.”
“That’s right, I’ll make sure my daughter never marries a gold digger like him.”
The neighbors, with their already extreme views, now avoided Eric like the plague.
Eric inhaled a breath, his face darkening as he hurried up the stairs.
Why did the whole neighborhood suddenly start calling Regina a mistress?
It didn’t bother him much that they were talking about Regina, but bringing Faye into it was something he could not tolerate.
His daughter was his only weakness.
As he reached the elevator, he almost didn’t recognize his own front door.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it had been changed. He tried his fingerprint, but the door wouldn’t
open.
Fuming, Eric called his mother.
But before he could make the call, he heard Faye crying and his mother yelling angrily.
“Who are you calling a gold digger? Who’s the illegitimate child? Can’t you watch what you say? I’ll rip your mouths off!” Dawn was in the elevator, arguing with the neighbors.
“What’s wrong? Your son is living in the house that someone else bought, fathering a child with his mistress. Is that not an illegitimate child? You call that girl a precious.” Linette was equally harsh. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the trees. Your son stealing his wife’s inheritance while the poor girl was out helping others. You and your son are shameless.”
“This whole family is disgusting,” Linette muttered, walking into her home with her friends.
As they passed by Eric, Linette spat in his direction.
Faye wailed loudly, and seeing Eric only made her feel more upset. “Daddy,” she cried.
Ericrushed to her, pulling Faye into his arms. “Faye, don’t listen to them. Let’s just ignore them, okay?”
“Mom, what’s going on?” Eric’s face darkened.
“Eric, you’re finally home. That crazy b*tch is going to kill us all. She kicked us out of the house. You’ve got to stand up for us!” Dawn cried, pounding her thighs.
Eric froze for a moment, staring at the door. “Kelly is back?”
Dawn continued her crying. “Yes, she’s in there! That crazy b*tch threw out everything that belonged to you, Regina, and Faye–and she changed the locks! Now she won’t let us in!
“She’s even going around telling everyone in the neighborhood that Faye is an illegitimate child! What are we going to do? Faye’s preschool knows now, and all the parents are talking about it. The other kids are calling her an illegitimate child!” Dawn sobbed, cursing. “That sl*t! Why didn’t she just die out there and leave us alone?”
Eric stood there for a long moment, his anger simmering. He slammed his fist on the door. “Kelly, open the door. We need to talk.”
“Kelly!” When Kelly didn’t answer, Eric pounded the door again. “Do you have to be this extreme? Faye is my limit. If you keep doing this, there will be nothing left between us.”
Eric was fuming, heartbroken for his daughter.
To be called an illegitimate child was damaging enough, but Kelly going around spreading that message was ruining Faye’s future.
When Eric had married Regina, it was for Faye’s sake.
He had worked hard to protect his daughter, but now Kelly was destroying it all.
“Kelly! If you don’t open the door, I’ll call the cops!” Eric yelled, his anger flaring.

The visual door lock lit up, and Kelly’s voice came through, low and cold. “Go ahead, call the cop. You have a history of hurting me. This is my house, and I have every right to keep you out. Do you have a problem
with that?”
Stunned, Eric was shocked by how cold Kelly was. “Open the door. This is our house, and you have no right to shut me, my mother, and Faye out.”
Kelly’s voice was even colder as she responded, “Oh, I’m mentally unstable. I might kill someone, so you’d better stay away from me. You’ve already spent all of my parents‘ inheritance, and the interest on that is almost as much as this house’s full price. If you have a problem, call the cop.”
With that, Kelly cut off the video feed.
Eric stood outside, kicking the door in frustration. “Kelly!”
