Some even launched an online campaign called " Reject Scammers , Cleanse Society's Morals . " A few extremists even took it further , threatening to vandalize the old woman's home , hurl paint on her door , and dump funeral wreaths at her doorstep . Watching the chaos unfold , Declan nodded approvingly , his face radiating satisfaction . The fact that everyone's taking justice into their own hands , " he said proudly , " just proves that good will always riumph over evil . With a scammer mother like that , who ruins others for cash , she deserves every bit of this backlash .

But Declan's cruelty and arrogance left me too numb to grieve . At that moment , I couldn't help but wonder , what would he do if he found out the " scamming lowlife " he'd ondemned so passionately was the same woman who raised him with her own two hands ?

True to his word , Declan wasted no time . He filed for divorce and made damn sure I left the marriage with nothing - not a single cent , not a shred of dignity . Online , the scandal kept snowballing . Every day , I got bombarded with hate messages and threatening calls . My social media accounts were buried under insults and curses . Even random people on the street pointed at me , whispering my name like it was filth . And Declan ? He was eating it up . He'd occasionally send me mocking messages .

" But don't you dare drag my mother into this ! Tell me where she is right now ! She's not at home , and she's not picking up her phone ! " I let out a cold laugh . " Oh , Declan , so you do remember you have a mother ? " He froze for a second , then raised his voice again . " Cut the sarcasm ! My mom is the most important person in my life . Of course I remember her ! You're just using her to stir up trouble because she liked you ! I'm warning you , don't even think about wrecking my relationship with her ! I'll give you one hour . Bring my mother back , or you'll regret it ! " My tone turned ice - cold as I replied , " Sorry , but your mother's not coming back . " And with that , I hung up .
