Chapter 1015
Chapter 1014:
A short while ago, they had belonged here. Now, they were nothing more than unwanted shadows, stripped of every shred of dignity.
Wanda stared straight ahead, eyes empty. Her mind refused to process what was happening. Numbness swallowed everything.
Eva could hardly breathe. Memories cut deeper than any insult. She remembered the lavish wedding Paul had arranged, the pride of marrying into the Campbell family, all the applause and envy. Now, humiliation was her only companion. The grandeur of her past had been twisted into something cruel.
Eva and Wanda barely managed to pull themselves together on a stone slab before Elliana approached, looming over them. “This stone slab you’re sitting on?” Her tone was flat, almost bored. “In a moment, it will be removed. But before we get rid of that, I want you off my mountain p>
One cold gesture from Elliana, and the bodyguards sprang into action. Without hesitation, they grabbed Eva and Wanda and dragged them across the ruined lawn. Tossing them into the back of a battered garbage truck, they made sure there was no confusion about what they’d become—waste to be removed.
The estate, the mountain, all of it belonged to the Campbell family.
Only at the gate did the truck come to a halt. The bodyguards hauled both Eva and Wanda out, dumping them onto the roadside with no more care than the bags of trash they’d tossed before.
The stench hit Eva and Wanda instantly, sticking to their skin, making their eyes water and their stomachs churn. The taste of garbage filled their mouths with every breath.
They had to dig themselves free from the reeking pile. What little strength they had left was spent just getting to solid ground, where they collapsed, coughing and retching under the punishing sun.
Heat shimmered off the road, blurring the world around them. Even the sunlight felt hostile, burning into their skin, mixing with the stink that clung to them like another layer of shame.

Eva stared up at the sky, her face streaked with grime and sweat, her heart hollow. Everything had been lost because of a man she’d fallen for when she was young. Even now, as misery threatened to swallow her, a desperate hunger remained. She would do anything and endure any pain just to reclaim the title of the Campbell matriarch.
Eva felt the weight of complete defeat pressing down on her chest, but something inside her refused to give up entirely. Beside her, Wanda was experiencing the same desperate determination not to surrender.
The two women lay sprawled on the ground beside each other, staring up at the cloudless sky in stunned silence for what felt like an eternity.
Finally, Wanda’s quiet voice broke through the heavy silence. “Mom, I’ve made my decision. I’m willing to become that man’s mistress p>
Eva’s entire body went rigid with shock. She turned her head sharply to stare at Wanda.
Wanda met Eva’s startled gaze without flinching and spoke with unwavering conviction. “I’ll do exactly what you suggested earlier. I’ll become his mistress. It’s the only real chance we have left to climb up from this disaster p>
