Chapter 7

Author: Heron Cloud
It finally dawned on Fabian that something was terribly wrong.

He looked at Yvonne with wide-eyed terror, blubbering hoarsely, "Yvonne, it wasn't me! Someone put me up to it."

Yvonne raised an eyebrow.

A man who had been tortured beyond recognition was thrown onto the stage. When the enforcers flipped him over to reveal his face, Fabian trembled violently, for that man was Jordan.

"It was him! He was the one who gave me that video—he said you hated Nathaniel." Fabian swallowed hard, suddenly

    It finally dawned on Fabian that something was terribly wrong.He looked at Yvonne with wide-eyed terror, blubbering hoarsely, "Yvonne, it wasn't me! Someone put me up to it."Yvonne raised an eyebrow.A man who had been tortured beyond recognition was thrown onto the stage. When the enforcers flipped him over to reveal his face, Fabian trembled violently, for that man was Jordan."It was him! He was the one who gave me that video—he said you hated Nathaniel." Fabian swallowed hard, suddenly realizing that the whole thing had taken place in the desolate wilderness where there were no surveillance cameras at all."Yvonne, what I just said was all a lie. I only said it to make you happy. The truth is, I never laid a hand on Nathaniel. I lied to you, and I'm sorry. But it really wasn't me who killed Nathaniel. I've got it! It was Jordan who killed him, and he's trying to frame me!"Jordan, who was on the ground, no longer had the strength to refute anything. All he could do was let

    Dad was left rather embarrassed by Yvonne's attitude. He chuckled awkwardly and said nothing more.Yvonne rose and walked slowly up onto the stage. Though she wore a smile, it was one that sent chills down everyone's spine."I have prepared a grand gift for the real heir of the Madden family today, and I'd like everyone here to bear witness as well."She clapped her hands softly.A somber funeral dirge began playing through the speakers. White lilies and funeral wreaths appeared all around the room, and right in the center stood a large framed portrait of me.Everyone present froze in shock.Dad slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet. "Yvonne, what is the meaning—"Before he could finish, two bodyguards pushed him back down."Seeing as everyone is in such good spirits today, my apologies—I'm afraid I may have to spoil the mood."An urn was placed at the very center of the stage. Yvonne sat on a chaise lounge, cradling the urn in her hands."This is my gift to Fabi

    The Foster family was, without exaggeration, the leading power in Auxville. If Yvonne so much as uttered a single word of praise for Fabian, no one else would dare to do anything but fawn over him.She used to micromanage everything about my life—from my business dealings all the way down to what I wore and ate. If anyone crossed me in the business world, their company would be shut down for investigation the very next day.This was precisely why my family had been able to sail so smoothly through the business world.A sudden chill ran through me. Mom and Dad had lost me, and now they wanted to mold another version of me in order to keep Yvonne bound to the family.My soul drifted through the air. As I watched Yvonne sitting amidst the rose bushes with tears streaming down her face, I felt as though my heart were being carved out by a knife.I knew she was a prideful person who hated crying in front of others, so the fact that she was doing it now could only mean her grief had tru

    It was a video compiled from the Bugatti's built-in dashboard camera from the moment it pulled up at the airport entrance, along with all the exterior surveillance footage.Since Yvonne had such a strong need for control, she had installed cameras all around my car to prevent me from cheating. Never did she imagine that they would now become criminal evidence.Yvonne's eyes trembled uncontrollably, her breathing growing visibly ragged.There I was, completely limp and powerless, dragged out of the car by Fabian like a dead dog. Then, fist after fist came raining down on me, blood continuously trickling from my mouth.Fabian's arrogant voice rang out from the phone, unbearably grating.I lay there on the ground, covered in blood, enduring Fabian's relentless torment.Yvonne gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned stark white.In the video, every punch Fabian threw was backed by full, brutal force, and every scream of mine felt as though it was ripping through her he

    Yvonne had a strong need for control. I hadn't replied to her messages for several days, and with me still absent on her birthday, of course, she was unhappy.Just then, a car pulled up at the party venue. The door opened, and Fabian stepped out. He was wearing a brand-new haute couture suit, a false smile plastered across his face."Yvonne, I've prepared a gift for you. I'm sure you'll love it."Perhaps out of anger at me, Yvonne deliberately smiled at Fabian and acted rather intimate with me.She took out her phone and sent a message to my WhatsApp."If you don't come back this instant, I'll run off with Fabian."But Fabian, mistaking this for Yvonne having feelings for him, flashed a smug grin. Thinking his chance had finally come, he set about ingratiating himself with Yvonne even more eagerly.He took Yvonne to the sea of roses I had prepared. The roses were blooming with extraordinary brilliance.When Yvonne's gaze fell upon that splendid sea of roses, a flicker of comple

    "No…" My voice was already hoarse and broken, and the word I forced out of my throat trembled with despair.Fabian smirked cruelly and increased the pressure of his foot grinding down on my fingers. The pain was so excruciating that I nearly blacked out."You're not worthy of such a fine watch! It should've belonged to me all along!"He reached down and stripped the watch from my wrist. Then, he put it on his own. After admiring it for a moment with satisfaction, he looked down at me again."If it weren't for you, I would have had all of this long ago!"He punched me in the chest again. Years of manual labor had made him brutally strong, and that single punch made me feel like it had displaced every organ inside me.A stifled groan escaped me, the agony making it impossible to breathe. I wanted to put up a fight, but I felt as if I had been struck by a sledgehammer. Every muscle screamed in revolt, yet I couldn't move a single inch.Fabian gazed down at his handiwork with satisf
