Chapter 1789

Erica can't seem to open her mouth without bringing Jacob into the conversation!

"Erica, Jacob has moved on!" Shawn hollered. "He's fed up with you, he's done!"

Erica froze on the spot for a couple of seconds.

Turning around, she said to Shawn, "Even if Jacob doesn't want me, it doesn't mean I'll be with you."

And with that, she walked away without looking back.

The whole thing was captured by a rich girl.

She once had a thing for Shawn, but he only saw her as a friend.

The romantic yacht dinner was her idea, hoping to capture the moment on tape.

But for some reason, she never deleted the video.

Shawn dated a string of girls after, each one bearing a resemblance to Erica. And her? She stayed by Shawn's side for years, only for him to marry someone else.

She was harboring a grudge.

When Jacob's revenge came, she didn't hesitate to double-cross Shawn.

Jacob left the phone playing the video on the table, turning up the volume.

Shawn was gobsmacked. He had no idea this evidence existed.

"Rosalynn, do you know how Erica got home that day?" Jacob asked. "The yacht was far from shore, Shawn was pissed that Erica rejected him and wouldn't allow the boat to take her back. He forced her to finish dinner with him?

Rosalynn was furious.

"Erica jumped into the water in the middle of winter!"

Jacob glared at Shawn, seething with rage.

"I didn't force her to jump!" Shawn retorted, looking to Rosalynn for support.

"It was freezing cold! If it weren't for the people on a nearby party yacht who rescued her, Erica would've been dead!" Jacob was trembling with anger.

He'd spent the entire night looking up the weather on that day.

His heart broke over and over again.

He was only seeing the tip of the iceberg of Erica's suffering.

Every new truth he discovered was like a knife to his heart.

"Isn't this cruel enough? You've been tormenting her for over a decade! What did she do to deserve this?

Tell me, Shawn, what did she do wrong?"

Jacob was seething, his heart pounding.

"You like her, don't you? Weren't you smitten the moment you laid eyes on her? Seeing her bullied and helpless, doesn't it hurt you?!"

"What gives you the right to question me?" Shawn lost it, "Jacob, do you want me to spell it out for you? You allowed Erica to be bullied, didn't you? Ask yourself, did you really have no idea Erica was being tormented?"

Jacob clenched his fists.

How could he have not noticed?

Her dress mysteriously stained, her purse lost during a party, her inexplicably falling into a pool...

"I know I'm a bad guy." Jacob looked at Shawn, "But that doesn't stop me from punishing you, who are just as bad:
