The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 593

Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Not All Mothers Deserve to Be Called Mothers

"He became an Evil Ghost, wasn’t it the result of the sinful fruit you and your lover bore?"

Scarlett Jennings coldly interrupted Lyra Sterling’s seemingly frantic words, her almond eyes staring coldly at the woman before her.

Though she had speculated on the way here, it was only when she saw with her own eyes the sinful debt of child murder staining the woman that she was certain.

It turns out there really can be a mother who would cruelly harm her own child like this.

Not only taking his life but dismembering his body.

Even wanting to make his soul dissipate completely.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t believe it, and neither could the others present, nor the Mystical Sect members watching the broadcast.

As people involved in ghostly matters, Mystical Sect members are accustomed to seeing more evil than ordinary folk.

They also know that not all mothers deserve the title of mother.

But to do this to her own son...

How much must she hate this child?

"That’s your child! What did he do to make you treat him like this?!"

Stella Gibson was the first to lose her composure and rebuke her.

Her Face Reading skills aren’t that great, but the fact the woman could see Benson Woods in the Ghost Bottle spoke volumes.

Unless an Evil Ghost deliberately reveals itself, ordinary people generally can’t see it, especially when it’s trapped in a Ghost Bottle.

But there’s another situation, which is when someone is intrinsically entangled with a sinful debt with the Evil Ghost.

Lyra Sterling subconsciously responded shrilly to Stella’s scolding,

"What do you know?! You know nothing at all!"

...

Lyra Sterling and her husband were a couple who went from dating to marriage.

Even after marriage, her husband always pampered her.

He didn’t require her to work; she disliked cooking, so he would take her out to eat.

She didn’t like living with elders, so he kept their world to just the two of them, fulfilling her every wish to the best of his ability, even if it was financially straining.

Lyra Sterling once believed she would be the happiest woman in the world.

But this happiness changed completely when she had a child.

Her husband began putting the child first in all matters; whatever she wanted to do, he would have her prioritize the child in her womb. Her cosmetics, high heels, all were put away by him.

Because of this child, she endured ten months of torment.

She thought once the child was born, her husband would love her even more.

But he didn’t.

He only cared about the child every day, never pampering her like before.

When she wanted to buy luxury handbags or expensive cosmetics, he would persuade her to think more about the child’s future.

Since he was the only one working, although their life was not exactly tight, it couldn’t be considered especially affluent either.

When it was just the two of them, spending money wasn’t an issue.

But with a child, as parents, they had to think more about the child.

Raising a child costs a lot, not to mention education.

Lyra Sterling wasn’t ignorant.

She loved the child she carried for ten months.

But it didn’t stop her from feeling revulsion when he woke her up night after night, from feeling her happiness was shattered since his arrival.

She wanted to love him.

But she just couldn’t.

"Do you know the cost of having a child?"

Pointing at the boy in the Ghost Bottle, she screamed hysterically,

"For him! I suffered more than I ever did in my life!

During pregnancy, I couldn’t eat or sleep, my legs were swollen and cramped at night, my body changed shape after giving birth, my uterus prolapsed, I turned into an old hag for him, and even my husband no longer loved me because of him!

He looked at her, disbelief turned into surrender, closing his eyes in despair.

He died.

Killed by her and Cyrus Lester together.

Lyra Sterling couldn’t describe her emotions at the time.

There was pain since he was the child she raised by her own hand and she had tried hard to love him.

But beyond the pain, there was a strange sense of relief deep inside her.

With him dead, they couldn’t go to jail, so they needed to destroy the evidence.

She helped Cyrus dismember the body, take it out in parts, then pretended the child went missing. Cyrus dealt with the community surveillance, and as her husband came home only every few days, they really managed to cover it up.

They thought they could hide it forever until one night when they saw the child appearing again after becoming a ghost.

With blood tears streaming from his eyes, he asked her,

"Why? You gave me life, I’ve returned it to you, why must you dismember me?"

"Mother, why?"

After that, he seemed to go mad, killing Cyrus Lester right in front of her and devouring his soul.

Lyra Sterling was almost scared insane.

She thought he would devour her too.

But he just looked at her deeply and then disappeared.

After that, she heard that a teacher at his school suddenly hanged themselves in the classroom; although the media reported it as stress-related, she knew intuitively it was his doing.

Because he had told her multiple times that the teacher was no good.

She feared he would fail at killing the teacher and return to kill her.

That’s why she thought of finding a Taoist to... completely eliminate him.

As long as he’s completely gone, her life can get back on track.
