A Bottle of Water Ruined My Life Chapter 10 A Second Chance
Linda lunged toward me in an attempt to yank me over, but an officer nearby quickly stepped between us.So, she grabbed Lexie's arm and shouted, "We're the real victims here! What gives you the right to bully us?"Barbara immediately fired back, threatening to take them to court.The two women began shouting across the table, causing the mediation room to descend into chaos once more.The officer rapped on the table, but it still took some time for them to finally quiet down. He turned to Lexie, his voice cold. "It's clear what has happened. Are you going to continue raising a fuss?"She buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.Linda sank into her chair, her face ashen. She looked as if she'd aged ten years in seconds.…Night had already fallen by the time we left the police station.Linda and Lexie were up in front, with Linda supporting her. Suddenly, Lexie turned around, her eyes filled with hatred. "June, you'll get what's coming to you."I said nothing.
A Bottle of Water Ruined My Life Chapter 9 The Evidence Speaks
The timestamp on the footage read 9:43 p.m.The officer fast-forwarded through the recording. Peter appeared at the entrance about ten minutes later, got onto his scooter, and rode away.…He didn't return until 7 a.m. the next morning.Throughout the night, there was no sign of Peter returning through the entrance or Lexie leaving the property.The officer turned to her with a frown. "You told us Mr. Hayes forced you to drink and then assaulted you that night. But this footage shows he left shortly after you checked in and didn't return until the next morning."Her lips trembled, and she couldn't answer.I let out a quiet sigh. "Lexie, maybe you're mistaken? Maybe it happened on a different night?""No!" she shrieked suddenly. "It was him! It happened that night! I know it did!"The officer looked down at the documents in front of him. "There's one more thing we need to clarify. Based on the medical records from the hospital, the estimated timeline of your pregnancy doesn't s
A Bottle of Water Ruined My Life Chapter 8 Turning the Tables
Peter continued, "And now she's pregnant and claiming I'm the father! How am I supposed to prove I'm innocent now?"The officer turned to me. "Ms. Austin, you're the one who reported this incident. Is there anything you'd like to add?"Every head in the room turned toward me as soon as those words fell from his lips.I curled my lips into a smile. "Officer, I'll admit I may have acted a little impulsively. When my cousin started crying in our family group chat, saying she'd been assaulted…. Well, my first instinct was to help her get justice—as a family should."However, I changed the subject and added, "But after giving it some thought, I realized there were a few things that didn't quite add up."The officer furrowed his brow. "Such as?""Well, Lexie says she was assaulted, but she stayed at Peter's B&B for three days. If something had happened on the first night, then why didn't she leave? Why did she stay for two more nights?""Shut up!" Lexie shrieked, cutting me off. "What
A Bottle of Water Ruined My Life Chapter 7 Face to Face
In my previous life, Lexie had allied with Peter to report me. In this life, they'd turned against each other. Honestly, the two of them tearing each other apart had really saved me a lot of trouble.…Lexie sent another voice message about 40 minutes later, saying tremulously, "The police are here. June, just you wait."Linda was quick to follow with a voice message of her own, sobbing as she choked out, "Dear God! What did we ever do to deserve this? How could something like this happen to our family?"The group chat fell silent. None of them dared to say a word.I put my phone away and went to get my mother some water.She watched me with a worried expression. "June, what's really going on with Lexie?"I handed her the glass and tried my best to keep my voice calm. "Mom, it's nothing. Lexie got herself into this mess, and she'll have to deal with the consequences. I only reported what she said to the police. They'll handle it."My mother let out a sigh. "You know how your
A Bottle of Water Ruined My Life Chapter 6 What a Performance
Lexie sent more than ten texts, and she cursed me out in every single one of them."What the fuck? The cops actually called me!""June, you psycho! You really called the fucking police?""What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to ruin my life?""I'm warning you! If the cops show up, I'm telling them that you put me up to all of this!"I listened to her messages, but rather than getting angry, I just felt sad.Lexie was my cousin, and my mother had treated her better than she did me sometimes. My father had secretly given her 5,000 dollars when she couldn't afford her college tuition fees.He had spent three months hauling bricks at construction sites, working himself to exhaustion just to save up that much money.Yet here she was, threatening to ruin my life over money.She'd succeeded in my previous life, but I had no intention of letting her win in this one.…It hadn't even been ten minutes since I'd called the police, and the family group chat was already wild
A Bottle of Water Ruined My Life Chapter 5 Calling Her Bluff
The family group chat went completely silent the second I sent that message. It was as if someone had pressed pause on them all.More than ten seconds passed before Lexie finally sent another voice message. This time, there was no hiding the obvious panic in her tone. "What the hell are you talking about? What right do you have to call the cops? Are you out of your mind?"I didn't bother replying.Then, she sent another voice message. Her tone had undergone a complete 180, carrying an unmistakable hint of threat as she snarled, "June, I'm warning you! If you dare call the police, I'll expose every dirty little secret you've been hiding!"She continued, "Don't think I don't know about your B&B! That place was unsafe, and you used connections to get your health permits approved! You should know better than anyone just what you've done!"I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that. She had used these same accusations to threaten me in my previous life. She made it so that I wouldn'
