Chapter 627: His Downfall

Tasha looked at him as though he had just cracked a joke.She sneered, turned around, and carefully
looked into Seth's fury-filled eyes.She wanted to remember the way he looked when he discovered that
she was the one who brought him down, imprinting the shame and embarrassment on his face in her
mind forever.

"Wife'? When did you ever treat me as your wife? Or as your family even? Seth, you are such a selfish
and indifferent bastard.Yet you dare to ask why I betrayed you? You betrayed me first!"

"You set me up! Tasha, I've given you the money you wanted.Why would you go behind me back?"
Seth demanded.

Tasha smiled calmly, but her eyes were devoid of warmth.

"Because I hate you," she said matter-of-factly.

"I hate you for trying to take away my child.I hate you for marrying me just to use me.And when I was
no longer of any use to you, you tossed me aside for another woman, whom you brought into our home
to humiliate me.Even after finding out I was pregnant with your child, you didn’t change your mind.You
even wanted to take my baby away! Seth, what do you take me for? Some lifeless doll that'll roll over at
your beck and call? No! I am a human being! I betrayed you because you betrayed me first.I have to
protect my child, and in order to do that, you have to be behind bars."

Seth glared at Tasha murderously, but he found he couldn't say anything to refute.



The woman standing in front of him with a calm and indifferent expression was completely different
from the Tasha he knew.

Tasha took a deep breath and shrugged.




"Well, it's all in the past anyway.It's meaningless to say anything more.You were good at what you did,
you know? You shouldn't have been brought down by me, a lowly housewife.But that's precisely how
you lost.The biggest obstacle to survival is not weakness nor ignorance, but arrogance."

Seth felt as though he was struck by lightning and all the color drained from his face.

Arrogance? Seth had never considered himself arrogant.He had always been praised and envied by
all, which led him to believe that he was better than everyone.

At a young age, he had been sent abroad.He had always been surrounded by strangers.

Even at home, the housekeepers and servants were routinely replaced, and Patrick never allowed him
to get close to any of them.

In addition, Patrick always told him that strong men didn't need feelings.

Having feelings was a fatal weakness.

As a Lester, he had to be undefeatable.

Thus, Seth had grown to be indifferent to everything.

Nothing in this world attracted him other than money and power.

But in the end, his own arrogance was the death of him.

Tasha watched as Seth was taken away by the marshals.She watched him walk out of the court room
with his shoulders slumped over in defeat.

Suddenly, she remembered the first time she met Seth.Seth was standing by the door of her house,
looking at her gently.It was love at first sight for her.



Fortunately, she saw things clearly now.

Expressionless, Tasha picked up her bag and left the courthouse.It was a sunny day.She breathed in
the fresh air and smiled with relief, as if she had been reborn.
