A Farewell to the Dark Past

My history with Lucas started seven years ago.At that time, I had just started my freshman year of college. I met Lucas by chance during a club event. He was the most handsome freshman that year, instantly catching the attention of many people, including myself. I was first drawn to his looks and then captivated by his personality, becoming his secret admirer.My roommate, Olivia Jefferson, was his childhood friend. When she noticed my interest in Lucas, she offered to play matchmaker for us. She began inviting Lucas and me to hang out together, subtly teasing us and encouraging a romantic spark. Over time, Lucas and I grew closer. Finally, I found the right moment and confessed my feelings with Olivia's help.Unexpectedly, Lucas agreed.In that instant, I turned to Olivia to share my happiness with her. However, I was surprised to see the shock on her face. "No way, Lucas. Are you serious?" she blurted out.Lucas nodded. Then, she forced a smile and offered her congratulations.

The banquet was held at a five-star hotel, and I heard that it also happened to be Olivia's birthday. Lucas had specifically chosen this place to celebrate her birthday. A lot of people attended, not just from Olivia's department but also supervisors from other departments.At the banquet, Olivia leaned in Lucas' arms while holding a wine glass and laughing coquettishly. The two of them whispered to each other intimately. Soon, someone started joking about them, and Olivia immediately blushed and hid behind Lucas shyly.Lucas had a blank expression, yet his gaze fell on me.I turned my head away, unwilling to dirty my eyes.The next second, Olivia's voice rang in my ear. "Wendy, you've been at the company for almost half a month now. Have you learned anything?" She held onto Lucas's arm and looked at me proudly. When I didn't respond, she chuckled and continued, "Lucas has specifically reserved this position for you because of your relationship with him. Otherwise, there was no w

The day after the project was complete, I barged in on the company's shareholders' meeting with another individual. While several shareholders looked at each other in confusion, some of the company's seniors had already identified the person I had brought. At once, they gazed mockingly at Lucas.Sitting in the main seat, Lucas questioned with displeasure, "Wendy, we're in a meeting. What do you think you're doing barging in like this?"Instead of explaining, I merely waved to the individual behind me, beckoning him to come forward. "Everyone, the reason why I showed up here today is to let you all be my witnesses before someone questions the source of my shares."Confused, Lucas looked at me with his lips pursed tightly.I chuckled and began introducing the person I had brought. "This man was my father's assistant and personal lawyer when he was still alive. After my father died, he kept the shares left by my parents for me per the law. Now, these shares will all be transferred to

I charged Lucas and Olivia with the crimes of intentional homicide, trespassing private property, planting false accusations, and destroying civilians' lives and property safety. At the same time, I also brought the truck driver and the judge, who was in charge of my case back then, to court.As soon as the media reported this news, it caused a huge sensation in the society and garnered plenty of attention. Since the case involved the issues of corruption and bribery among officials, the federal government even established a special task force to investigate it.Shortly after, the investigation results were released to the public. According to the investigation report, it was confirmed that everything I presented was true. The results of the trial came out not long after. Olivia and the offending driver both received the death penalty, while Lucas was sentenced to ten years in prison. As for the judge from back then, he was also sentenced to death because he was found to have accepte
