Chapter 824 Destroy My Family

The birthday banquet descended into chaos as a man, seemingly possessed by madness, chased after a woman with relentless fervor. He struck her with brutal force as if intent on taking her life.

At the same time, the woman frantically evaded the man's attacks as she ran, her pleas for assistance echoing throughout the venue. Alas, the crowd remained frozen in inaction, merely spectating her misfortune.

The two individuals involved were none other than Shawn and Clara. As the woman cried out for assistance, Shawn seized the opportunity to grab a fistful of her hair.

The intense pain left tears brimming in Clara's eyes. Regrettably, her visible anguish failed to evoke a sense of sympathy in the man as he delivered a callous slap across her face in the next second. "You've destroyed my family, you b*tch. I'm going to beat you to death today. You're going to pay for what you've done!" Shawn's voice echoed through the chaos, his onslaught against Clara intensifying- As a woman, Clara was not powerful enough to strike back.

The reason no one was helping Clara during her brutal beating soon became clear. Shawn, who had lost all sense of rationality, resorted to violence against Robert when he tried to help the woman. He hit Robert's head with a bench, rendering the man unconscious with a profuse bleeding wound.

Naturally, no one dared to intervene after witnessing such a gruesome scene.

The crowd deduced that Clara must have done something terrible to have provoked such a ruthless response from Shawn, to the extent that he dared to incite chaos at the Grant residence and launch a furious assault on Clara.

As a result, they deemed Clara to be deserving of the brutal beating she'd received from the man and preferred to watch the scene unfold with detached amusement. Even those accompanied by bodyguards chose not to intervene.

At that point, Clara's body was covered in bruises, her once neatly arranged hair now disheveled, and her clothing in disarray. She looked completely different from her dazzling self when she first arrived at the banquet

Having grown exhausted from beating her, Shawn grabbed a glass from a nearby table, smashed it on the ground, and picked up a piece of broken glass before advancing maliciously toward Clara.

"You b*tch. It's all your fault that everyone in my family is dead. I've lost my job, my wife, and my children. I'm going to make you pay even if it's the last thing I do," he declared.

An hour prior, Shawn received a call from his superior, the mayor of Nebula City. He was informed of his immediate termination and the grim prospect of never being employable again.

Shawn was left perplexed and bewildered by his abrupt termination. Having formed what he believed to be a friendship with the mayor over their long working relationship, he couldn't fathom why he was dismissed without any apparent reason.

The mayor recounted everything that happened in Nebula City to Shawn.

It turned out that his wife attempted to reach him the other day regarding their son's deteriorating health. Their son had been battling congenital heart disease since childhood and had experienced a severe relapse that day.

Shawn and his wife also shared a six-month-old daughter. During that time, his wife had to shoulder the responsibility of caring for both their gravely ill son and their young daughter.

She could not deal with everything herself. On top of that, the doctor said that their son's situation was extremely critical. Worried something might actually happen to their son, she decided to give Shawn a call, only to have a woman answer it. And to make matters worse, that woman was having a moment of intimacy with her husband.

Shawn's wife could not accept the thought of her husband having an affair with his mistress while their son was teetering on the brink of death.

In the end, their son died in surgery. The young boy's death was a devastating blow to his mother, who was unable to accept the truth. Consumed by grief, she made the tragic decision to ingest pesticide with her six-month-old daughter-a decision that took both their lives.

The incident spread like wildfire throughout Nebula City, staining Shawn's reputation beyond. redemption. Under the mounting pressure of public opinion, the mayor had no choice but to fire Shawn

All the while, Shawn had been in Lumenopolis, oblivious to the unfolding news until he received the phone call an hour ago.
