Chapter 2

Author: Dancing Flower
"What do you mean by that, Tristan? I'm your sister! If you do such a traitorous thing, Mom and Dad would never forgive you."

Elise's expression darkened as she continued to threaten me. She had always seen me as a weak, soft-hearted person. Whenever she scared me, I would always compromise.

I didn't know how I had become so tough. I sneered at her. "Now you remember that we're family? How could you ask your own younger brother to be the scapegoat for someone else?

"Are you even worthy of being my sister if you do that? From now on, I don't want anything to do with either of you. You'd better stay out of my way."

After what had just happened, I was now thoroughly disappointed in them. If they continued to pester me, I didn't mind getting them thrown in prison.

When Callista saw that Elise had failed to persuade me, she hurried over. "Tristan, how could you say such a thing? Even if Elly wants you to help and take the blame for this, she won't let you do it for nothing.

"Jeff has said that he'll give you 300 thousand dollars if you help him take the blame for this. With your current abilities, it'll take you at least four years to earn that amount! You're not making a loss at all."

I wanted to laugh even more. From what I knew of Jeffrey, he was addicted to Internet gambling and often went hungry as a result. He probably couldn't even come up with three thousand, let alone 300 thousand.

I knew without a doubt that Elise and Callista would be coming up with the money. The consequences of what they were asking were far more serious than they were making it sound.

Otherwise, I would not have been driven to jump off a building in my previous life. Even now, they were still trying their best to deceive me. They were being ruthless, for Jeffrey's sake.

"You want to buy my future with just 300 thousand dollars? Don't you think that's too cheap? My education abroad alone is worth more than that."

I did not give them any chances to keep trying to persuade me, and I began to busy myself at my desk.

The looks in Callista's and Elise's eyes turned extremely sinister. They looked as if they wanted to swallow me whole.

I glanced at them and ignored them. I had recorded our conversation earlier.

If they tried to do anything out of line, I would post the recording online. They could have a taste of what it was like to have their reputation ruined.

As I was thinking about it, Jeffrey suddenly kicked the door to the office open, looking enraged. He grabbed me angrily by the collar. "How did you get hold of the surveillance footage in the operating theater?"

I smiled as I looked at him. "Since you made a mistake, you should take responsibility for it. Getting the surveillance footage shouldn't affect you, should it?"

Since I had been reborn, I had to keep some tricks up my sleeve. Before going off to the competition, I asked my classmate to record footage of Jeffrey operating on the patient.

That way, no matter how they tried to make me their scapegoat, they would not be able to force it on me.

When Elise heard our conversation, she walked over to me.

"Tristan, don't you know that getting surveillance footage without permission is against the rules? I want you to delete those videos as soon as possible. Otherwise, I have the right to fire you."

When I saw the determined look on Elise's face, I smiled bleakly. "That's what I hope for!"

I had performed very well in that competition earlier, and I had already received invitations from several hospitals. Most of those hospitals were public hospitals. The benefits provided were far better than the current private hospital I was in.

At that thought, I took out the resignation letter I had written and placed it in front of Elise.

"This is my resignation letter. I hope that you can sign it as quickly as possible."

  • Tearing Them Apart   Chapter 7

    Two doctors walked out of the hospital room, and one of them said, "Are the patient's family members here? The patient is about to die. You'd better grab your chance and see her one last time." My father immediately walked in, but I maintained an impassive look on my face. Any affection I had for Elise had died the moment she forced me to my death in my previous life. Whether she and Jeffrey lived or died, they had brought it on themselves. It had nothing to do with me. I strolled into the hospital room. Elise looked pale. She used all her strength to look at my father and asked, "How is J-Jeff?"The worried expression on my father's face turned into fury at once. "Look at what he's done to you! Why are you still thinking about him?"Elise shook her head and looked agitated. "I-It wasn't him. I-it's all the fault of that bitch, Callista! I won't forgive her even if I become a ghost."As soon as Elise stopped speaking, the heart monitor beside her flattened into a straight line

    I looked at her scornfully. "I'm not a recycling center. Why should I want you?"While dating Callista over the past few years, she hadn't helped me at all. All she had done was manipulate me relentlessly.That wasn't the kind of love I hoped for at all. I was going to grab this opportunity to cut off all ties with her.Before Callista could continue to speak, I got up and packed her things. "Please leave my home right now!"Callista glanced at the time and saw that it was already 2:00 am. She asked me in a trembling voice, "Where do you want me to go at this hour?"I shrugged, looking impassive. "That's your business. Why are you asking me?"I dragged her out and pushed her out of my home. The moment she walked through the door, she looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Tristan, can you give me another chance? I made a mistake. I really did!"I really don't want to lose you because of that jerk. If you give me another chance, I promise I'll make it up to you in the future."

    Later that night, Callista quietly disengaged herself from my arms. She picked up my phone and began searching through my photo album. She was trying to find the video I had recorded of Jeffrey operating on the patient. However, when she had gone through all the videos on my phone, she froze. When Elise left the house, I had sent a private detective to follow her. I had engaged him for a huge sum of money. As I had expected, she had gone out on a date with Jeffrey. It appeared that they hadn't been intimate for a long time, and they actually began getting hot and heavy right out in the open of the suburbs. The private detective that I had hired had captured the whole thing on video. Callista had accidentally seen it. Her expression gradually turned grim as she watched the video, and her breathing became shallow. Although she and Elise were usually on the same side, they had often schemed against each other in secret to compete for Jeffrey. She hadn't even managed to touch Jef

    I sneered at Elise. "Was this a casual conversation? You were clearly trying to destroy me!" The muscles in Elise's face twitched as if she were racking her brains for a way to protest. However, Dad no longer looked at her as fondly as he had in the past. He looked confused. "Tristan is your younger brother. How could you do such a thing? Don't you know how much effort your mother and I have put into nurturing Tristan?"Elise avoided his gaze and did not dare to look straight into my father's eyes. After a long time, she stood up again and looked at him. "I was wrong to do this. I won't cause trouble deliberately for Tristan in the future." Despite what she had said, there was no sign of repentance in her eyes at all. She hadn't even bothered to apologize to me. Before Dad could speak, she glared viciously at me and walked out of the house. Callista, who was still sitting on the sofa, did not make any move to leave. I looked at her, intrigued. "Aren't you going to go and c

    Elise looked at me with slight disbelief. "You planned this? I advise you to think this through. Once you're out of my care, you're nothing. You're just someone who came back from studying abroad."I hadn't expected her to still be trying to manipulate me at that point. I shook my head and did not continue speaking to her. Then, I walked out of the office instead. As soon as I left the office, I could faintly hear Callista's voice as she comforted Jeffrey. "Jeff, don't worry. When I go home tonight, I'll try to persuade him again. He's got a soft heart. I'm sure he'll agree."A bright smile flashed across my face. This time, I wasn't going to let them have any chance of controlling me. I walked out of the hospital and sent the recordings and videos on my phone to the regulatory agency at once. The staff there were furious once they had listened to them. "We will send someone to investigate this in detail immediately."I smiled and nodded. "I would like to request that you do s
