The Wife's Ruthless Revenge

Chapter 3

Chapter Three: Time to Wake Up, Cinderella

Newton was a rising name. More and more people are mentioning their names. They can see articles and news about them on social media sites. There are now some people who recognize them in the elite world.

But it's not enough. They need to climb higher. They wanted to be on top. They want the most influential people in the world to know them and to be able to hang out with them.

And when Jinx saw Eloise Crimson, who looked like a timid and submissive girl, at a gathering, he knew what he had to do. Who doesn't know about the Crimsons? Who does not know her family when they have properties in various fields? Banks, malls, hotels, condos, and villages. You name it. Their lineage is filthy rich and has been passed down from generation to generation.

And that family will be their ladder to climb the spot they dreamed of.

In a family, there is usually someone different, but not the Newton family. Everyone in this family is ambitious and opportunistic. They do not befriend or socialize with anyone they won't benefit from.

Alice Newton grew up in a simple family and seduced a rich man to achieve her dreams and build her own company. The eldest member of the Newtons is smart, but she uses it for her evil doings. Her daughter, Maggie, is no different. She is quiet but also loves a luxurious life, so she marries a rich man.

"I want to build my own company, and I believe that the Crimsons will be the ones who can help me. I had Eloise investigate. She's unmarried and looks like she's easy to fool," Jinx grumbled under his breath, seething when he remembered what happened earlier. "I met Jackson Smith in the golf area earlier; the arrogant motherf*cker didn't even spare me a glance. F*ck. I want those cockroaches to lick my shoes one day."

"Patience, my grandson, patience," Alice calmly said to Jinx. They are gathered in the living room of their house for a meeting. "But what about Lilian?"

Lilian has been Jinx's permanent f*ck buddy for as long as he can remember, but they only took their relationship to the next level in the last two years.

"That b*tch won't be able to help me enter the list of millionaires soon, can she? She should be thankful that I saved her from the whorehouse she's in," Jinx said, not seeming to care about the girl.

Alice hummed under her breath, and there was no sympathy on her face for Lilian. She looked at her granddaughter, Lola, whose face could not be painted.

"And how about you, Missy? Why is Benedict not divorced yet? If you wait for him to make the move, he might already be tired of you by then. Remember that his family is powerful and his father is our next mayor. Who knows? Maybe he'll even be the next president. You better not let him go. I told you to let him impregnate you before his wife beat you to it." Alice nonchalantly told Lola with a tone of annoyance in her voice. As if she was not advising her to do something terrible.

Lola rolled her eyes. "Grandma, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to? My figure will be ruined, and I won't be a model anymore," she whined with a pout. "I'll take care of it. That old man is so crazy about me that he will do everything I want, even if I hate it every time he touches me," she added and pretended to vomit.

In a normal family, one will discern and even punish a member of their family who has done something terrible, but not the Newton family. They are ready to burn anything, swallow their pride, destroy anyone who blocks their way, and forget morality just to get to the top they all dream of.

Power, glory, and money. They will do everything to achieve them, even if some people get hurt.

Unfortunately, they chose poor, innocent, and kind Eloise and her family as their targets.

As expected, what happened spread across the country and even abroad. Some photos from the party were passed around, and like Jinx and Lilian wanted after using Eloise, her image was ruined, and she became the bad guy in people's eyes.

Flirty, classless, and a pretentious person. That's how those who read the news and pictures judged Eloise. Those who knew her didn't believe it, but those who were jealous of her celebrated it. She was deemed a villain when she was the real victim. It just goes to show that people will believe everything online, even if they don't know the real story behind it.

It's been two days since that happened, and Eloise has been locked up in the basement of her own house, which she chose to buy because of its beautiful design. It's been two days, but she's still wearing her gown, and nobody has come down to give her food or water. Maybe this is what Jinx mentioned when he said that he would torture her until she asked for a divorce.

But that won't happen. She won't give them that satisfaction.

Even if Eloise wanted to escape, there was no exit door in the basement, and the windows were too small. She just hoped that her parents would find out what happened and save her, but it had been two days.

The door opened for the first time since her imprisonment, and Lilian and Jinx entered. Eloise's lips were chapped with thirst, and she knew that she probably looked a little better than a beggar.

"You look great," Lilian said mockingly when she saw the woman she hated so much.

When Lilian found out about Jinx's plan, she couldn't do anything, and she was hurt every time something happened between them, but she swallowed it because she didn't want to go back to the mud she came from. That's why seeing the so-called Princess Eloise in such a situation makes her so happy.

Lilian sat on the chair in front of the bed she was sitting on, while Jinx remained standing and frowning.

She glared at him even though she was getting weak. "What do you need?"

Most importantly, why do they look happy?

Lilian threw something in front of her, and she saw that it was a newspaper. She immediately saw the picture there and gently closed her eyes.

"What did I tell you? Didn't I say that you would lose everything?"

Eloise opened her eyes again and picked up the newspaper with weak hands. According to this, their sales were affected, and the rating went down while the name and company of the Newton family gradually made noise and increased their overall sales. A lot of people were angry with Eloise and deemed her the cheating wife, while many sympathized with Jinx, who was the alleged victim.

"Your name is louder than a famous artist, Eloise. Your name has been trending for a few days now. Maybe when you go out, someone will recognize you right away, but hey, I suggest you don't because people might throw eggs at you," Lilian said, giggling, and Eloise crumpled up the newspaper.

"You look terrible, my dear wife," Jinx said in fake sympathy, but mockery and sarcasm were evident in his eyes. "Why don't I show you some mercy because you know I'm a kind person? Do you want to call your parents?"

Upon hearing this, Eloise's face brightened slightly, and she nodded. Smiling, Jinx dialed the number of Daniel, who is Eloise's father, using a different number. Jinx wasn't stupid enough to call him with his personal number because he knew he wouldn't answer. Naturally, he had already foreseen the reaction of Eloise's parents, but he wanted to torture his wife even more.

"Hello?" When Daniel answered it, he put it on speaker mode for everyone to hear.

"D-Daddy, help me!" Eloise immediately asked for help, but instead of hanging up, Jinx just smirked again.

"And you really had the guts to call us after what you did to our family! Have you seen what you have done, Eloise? You are leading us to ruin!"

Eloise was stunned, and it felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head. A glimmer of hope inside her vanished. "I didn't do it! Everything was just a lie by Jinx."

"I don't care what's the truth! You got us into a big mess, Eloise! You're not going to help the company anymore; you're going to destroy us!"

Tears filled Eloise's eyes, and Lilian and Jinx were very happy to see it.

"Where's mommy? I want to talk to her."

"You can't talk to her, and she's depressed about what's happening. You know how much we took care of our image, and you just destroyed it. And now your mommy and I will have to clean up your mess!"

"They locked me up, Daddy. Please help me." Eloise whimpered, and it sounded like music to her enemies' ears.

Her dad was silent for a few moments before speaking again in a cold tone. "It might be better that way so you don't make the situation worse. If this mess isn't fixed, forget that we are your parents and we will also forget that we have a child." After saying that, the call dropped, and Eloise couldn't stop crying from the pain inside her.

It seems that she has no allies in this world, and everyone has abandoned her. What will she do now?

"Don't cry too much and you might get dehydrated. You can't die until you sign the divorce papers, and oh, by the way, you can only eat if you serve this family. Time to wake up, Cinderella."
