Chapter 131 Chapter 9 His words were like fuel on the fire of their anger. The classmates erupted, demanding I be held accountable. Someone even grabbed a discarded needle and charged at me, screaming, “Why should you get off scot-free? If we’re going down, you’re coming with us p> Another
Chapter 130 Chapter 8 “Ch-chief? You’re… you’re really not a fake?” Ethan stammered, disbelief written all over his face. The police chief sighed heavily, then looked up, his gaze sharp as a blade, his voice grave. “Luna Brooks, we retested the trace blood evidence from the syringe used that day.
Chapter 129 Chapter 7 My words left them speechless. Ethan pointed a shaking finger at me. “Y-you… You think we’re scared of you? There’s no camera in here! Who’s going to know what we did p> He stomped hard on the shattered phone, grinding the screen to pieces. Instead of
Chapter 128 Chapter 6 The officer’s voice wasn’t loud, but it exploded in the previously noisy classroom like a bomb. The excitement and pride on the students’ faces, who had just been dreaming of “awards” and “badges of honor”, instantly solidified. A deathly silence fell. Complexions turned ashen. “Wait… what
Chapter 127 Chapter 5 The moment I entered the classroom, I was met by a chorus of coughing from my classmates. Every single one of them was affected. “That’s weird. Why is everyone getting sick at once? I woke up with a major headache p> A few others nodded. “Must
Chapter 126 Chapter 4 After the national competition, our entire class got a week-long break. When I returned to Oakwood Preparatory Academy after the holiday, I noticed my classmates seemed to be avoiding me. Their glances held unmistakable scorn. Their whispers followed me everywhere. “That’s Chloe Bennett from the senior
Chapter 125 Chapter 3 Looking at the needle smeared with different people’s blood, a wave of nausea rose in my chest. “I’m not donating,” I stated coldly. “I know you don’t like me, Chloe,” Luna said, her voice slick with fake sympathy. “But Ethan’s still your you boyfriend. Shouldn’t you
Chapter 124 Chapter 2 45250 Luna picked up the syringe, frowned, and pushed the needle into her vein. Everyone praised her selfless kindness. Ethan’s eyes were filled with nothing but tender concern. Only I noticed the few tiny, scabbed-over needle marks on her fair skin. The telltale signs of long-term,
Chapter 123 93.13% Chapter 1 THE I never truly understood what Luna Brooks meant by “in sickness and in health” until the day my boyfriend held his positive HIV test in his trembling hands. In my past life, when my boyfriends Ethan Campbell collapsed from severe anemia, his childhood friend
Chapter 122 Chapter 10 200 Back in the city, the divorce proceedings moved at lightning speed. Ethan didn’t dare see me again. He delegated full authority to his lawyer, lowering his stance to the dust. House, money, cars, shares. He offered sky-high compensation, as if trying to buy back a
Chapter 121 Chapter 9 Ethan didn’t leave. He pitched a tent outside the camp and stubbornly stayed, like a madman. The man who once carried himself like royalty now looked ragged, stubble shadowing his jaw, exhaustion bruising the skin beneath his eyes. He’d dismissed Sophie and sent a truck of
Chapter 120 Chapter 8 From the other end of the line, the assistant’s trembling voice came through. In the silent mountain valley, it was unnervingly clear. “M-Mr. Crawford… What are you talking about? Madam’s father… passed away last month. We stopped the payments a long time ago p> The air
Chapter 119 Chapter 7 After leaving the Crawfords, I didn’t check into a hotel or pour my heart out to friends. I went straight to the University of North Bay and knocked on my mentor Professor Sterling’s door. When Professor Sterling saw me, he almost didn’t recognize me. I was
Chapter 118 Chapter 6 Ethan’s face turned ashen. He whirled around to face Sophie. “What is the meaning of this? Didn’t I tell you to transfer a household allowance to my wife every month p> Sophie fell to her knees, crying pitifully. “Ethan, I was only trying to help. I’ve
Chapter 117 Chapter 5 Ethan stood rigidly in place. His gaze shifted between the urn and my face, as if digesting this information. “He’s… gone?” His voice was hoarse. “That’s not possible. He was stable three days ago p> “Yes, he was fine three days ago,” I said calmly. “If
Chapter 116 Chapter 4 Ethan returned faster than I expected, probably saw my comment and flew into a rage. Not to coax me back, but to seek justice for his Sophie. I couldn’t get a taxi at the gated community entrance. A black Maybach screeched to a halt, blocking my
Chapter 115 Chapter 3 I started packing. There wasn’t much to pack. After three years in this so-called home, the things that truly belonged to me were pitifully few. The walk-in closet was enormous. The left side was filled with Ethan’s custom-tailored suits. Several cabinets on the right were locked.
Chapter 114 Chapter 2 My hands wouldn’t stop trembling. The first photo was too blurred, so I steadied myself and took another, clearer this time. Every passing second felt like a countdown. I hit submit again. I retook the photo. My hands were shaking. The picture was a bit blurry,
Chapter 113 Chapter 1 Ethan Crawford noticed my silence first. A whole week had passed without a single “Payment Request Form” appearing in the family group chat. He must have thought I’d finally outgrown what he saw as my petty, money-grubbing habits. That night at dinner, with a look of
Chapter 112 Chapter 10 The moment those words landed, the room erupted. “My God, that’s horrifying. How did Celeste end up like this p> “Well, honestly, she brought it on herself. Running around behind everyone’s backs, getting involved with so many men p> “And haven’t you heard? Those photos and
