Chapter 1

When I heard that Marcus had broken my legs, my daughter, Chloe, didn't call the police. Instead, she rushed to his house and stabbed him eighteen times.

As the police led her away, a reporter interviewed her:

“You graduated from a prestigious university, working for a big company, with a brilliant future ahead. Now you’re a murderer. Do you regret it?”

Chloe smiled at the camera, "Why should I regret it?"

"My mom is the most important person in my life. If I had to do it again, I'd still do the exact same thing."

Chloe's devotion touched the entire internet, and countless people voluntarily pleaded for her.

Even a top lawyer offered to defend her pro bono.

Considering Marcus's long criminal record and the serious injuries he inflicted on me, coupled with the huge public outcry over Chloe's filial piety, the court ultimately ruled it self-defense and acquitted her.

Everyone rejoiced at the verdict.

Only I disagreed.

I appealed multiple times, demanding a death sentence for Chloe, arguing for a life for a life.

But eight appeals, eight losses.

Everyone called me a heartless, ungrateful mother.

A reporter approached me:

“Your daughter has been filial since childhood, excellent in both character and academics. This impulsive act of murder was all for you. Why are you so determined to get the judge to sentence her to death?”

I looked at the reporter and said calmly:

“If you secretly follow my daughter for two days, you’ll understand why.”
