LOGINAfter my father died, the illegitimate daughter he had been raising abroad immediately returned to the country to fight me for the estate. Her name was Alma. I was his only legitimate child, and I even had a will on my side. However, I still failed to keep my rightful inheritance. My fiancé Wayne, who could command the entirety of North City with a flick of his wrist, insisted on helping Alma. He stood protectively in front of Alma’s wheelchair and asked me impatiently, “With the money I gave you, you could buy plenty of houses like that. Are you really so heartless? Why would you fight a disabled person over it?” I confronted him, my voice trembling with disbelief. “Fighting? That house is the only thing my mother left me.” In the end, Wayne helped Alma win the lawsuit. He looked at my red, swollen eyes with a trace of guilt and said, “Jocelyn, I’ll make it up to you in the future.” However, I knew then that there was no more future between us.

You only dare to take it out on women and dogs!“If you want someone to blame, blame yourself for being stupid! You practically begged to be deceived by me. Do you really think you can still find Jocelyn? Do you think she’d ever forgive you? If I had a fiancé like you, I’d wish you were dead!“You’re useless! She’ll never come back to you in this lifetime!”…Alma’s legs were completely shattered from the thigh down. Excessive blood loss gradually weakened her voice until the curses dissolved into incoherent murmurs.Wayne said nothing.There was nothing he could say. He could only clench his fists uselessly as his knuckles turned white.“Send her and her mother to Southeast Asia.”…When I returned to the country again, it was two years later.The plane had just landed when someone hurried forward to greet me, warmly taking my luggage.
Wayne felt as though a knife were carving straight into his heart.He refused to believe it.An act?If it was all an act, then what had he done these past months for Alma?He had taken from me the one thing my mother had left behind.He allowed Alma to hurt BunBun to the point of death.He even sided with Alma without question, pinning me down in the pond and nearly drowning me.Wayne did not dare to think any further. Fear crept in, inch by inch, swallowing his heart whole. He could not help but cover his face and sob quietly, only realizing what had truly happened later.It seemed that he was truly going to lose her.His voice broke as he asked, “Have you found Jocelyn?”The assistant hesitated for a moment.“Miss Peay was last seen at the North City Airport. The airline confirmed it was an international flight. As for whether she transferred afterward or her final destination…“We’ve completely lost track of her.”After landing, I did not stay in San Francino.I heade
A few steps away, Alma’s face twisted in terror as she looked at Wayne.He stared at her, standing upright, and his eyes burned with fury. His voice was dark and sharp.“You lied to me?”Alma froze for a moment as her pulse hammered.Only then did she glance down at her legs.She was done for!Quickly, she grabbed onto the nearby rack, forcing herself into the posture of someone who could not bear weight. She scrambled to explain.“No, Wayne!“I’ve been going to my check-ups regularly to make sure I’m worthy of you. The doctors said my condition is severe, but standing up is not completely out of the question.“Maybe because you’ve been here with me lately, my progress has improved. That’s why…”Slap!Wayne’s hand shot out, striking her with a brutal force that sent her crashing to the ground.If he ever believed another one of her absurd lies, he would truly be a fool.He crouched down, gripping her hair with iron strength, and warned, “Keep your mouth shut until I know t
Wayne frowned. The hint of irritation on his face was impossible to hide as he shot back, “Trending?“It must be Jocelyn again. Nearly drowning Alma wasn't enough for her. Now she wants to make a spectacle of it.“How far does she plan to push Alma before she’s satisfied?”The assistant did not dare to say another word.He could only offer a cautious reminder.“Mr. Stone, maybe you should take a look first. There might be more to this than it seems.”Then, he tapped open the surveillance video trending online and handed the phone over.Wayne pressed his fingers to his temple, glancing at the screen with obvious disdain.“What ‘more’ could there possibly be?“Don’t tell me I hurt…”His words were cut off abruptly.The video unfolded in a way completely different from what Wayne had imagined.On the screen, Alma, who was supposedly paralyzed, rose to her feet.She looked at Jocelyn with open arrogance, taunting her.Then, she stepped onto the railing herself and leapt into
