Chapter 5

Author: Jean Zoo
When Heather heard the news, the wine glass in her hand slipped uncontrollably, red wine spreading across the floor like blood.

With a look of utter disbelief, she stared at the bodyguard. "What did you say? Christopher may be dead?"

Claire immediately lunged at the bodyguard, slapping him. "That's nonsense! How could anything happen to my brother? How useless can you all be when you can't even watch over a single person? Go find him right now!"

The bodyguard shakily handed the torn, blood-st

    Everyone present gasped at the sight of my injuries, shock evident on their faces. They started taking pictures, and some even started livestreaming.I rolled up my pant leg, exposing the injuries on my leg.Slowly and deliberately, I asked Heather, "Have you forgotten who severed my Achilles tendon in my right leg? How could I possibly forgive someone who hurt me like this?"Claire quickly jumped in, trying to smooth things over. "Christopher, we already dealt with Samuel. The torment he suffered before he died was a thousand times worse than what you went through."The crowd was stunned. Smelling a story, the gossip-hungry reporters tried to make their way back toward us, but the bodyguards blocked them firmly.Heather suddenly pulled a small eyebrow razor from her bag. Slipping off her high heel, she cut her own ankle.Gritting her teeth, she sliced her Achilles tendon despite the pain.Writhing on the ground in agony, she yelled, "Christopher, now that I've done this for you

Hard work was like rain that could make dreams flourish.During the final awards ceremony, Laura suddenly stepped down from the podium to pull me onto the highest step.As she raised my hands high for the crowd and reporters, she proudly introduced, "This is my coach, Christopher Bowman. Without his guidance, I wouldn't be standing here today."Sudden

    Just then, the butler rushed in to show a video to Heather.In the video, Samuel could be seen talking to me in the hospital room, along with the scene where he stabbed himself to gain sympathy.Claire couldn't stop crying as she watched. "Christopher, if only you were still alive… I can never see your face or hear your voice again…"Grabbing the fruit knife on the table, Heather thrust it toward Samuel's stomach. "It's your fault Christopher is dead! You'll pay in blood! If you hadn't lied and said you were the one who saved me in that accident, I'd never have hurt Christopher like that."You even acted like Christopher had hurt you in the hospital, and Christopher was left to die alone in the rainforest because of that!"Claire stormed over as well to kick where Samuel was hurt.He collapsed instantly, writhing on the ground like a worm and groaning in agony.Heather ordered her bodyguards to lock Samuel in a cage with two mastiffs. The mastiffs growled menacingly at him.Hea

    Once they reached the rainforest, Heather ordered her bodyguards to split up and search. "Christopher has to be found today, no matter what. If he isn't found, no one can leave!"When Claire saw the bloodstains on the ground, she could no longer hold back her tears. "Heather, have we been too cruel to Christopher? What if wild animals followed the scent of his blood and took him away?"Heather's heart was pounding as well, but she tried to stay calm. "Let's split up, Claire. I'm sure we'll find him soon."Claire and Heather searched everywhere, shouting until their voices went hoarse, but no response came from the vast rainforest.Before they knew it, dawn had broken. Everyone was exhausted. That was when Heather suddenly broke down, screaming, "Christopher, if you're nearby, please answer me! You can hit me and scold me all you want! Just don't ignore me!"Tears had long ruined Claire's makeup. In a hoarse voice, she shouted, "Christopher, after Mom and Dad died, we've only had e

    When Heather heard the news, the wine glass in her hand slipped uncontrollably, red wine spreading across the floor like blood.With a look of utter disbelief, she stared at the bodyguard. "What did you say? Christopher may be dead?"Claire immediately lunged at the bodyguard, slapping him. "That's nonsense! How could anything happen to my brother? How useless can you all be when you can't even watch over a single person? Go find him right now!"The bodyguard shakily handed the torn, blood-stained shirt to Claire.Dashing over, Heather snatched it. When she saw the little bear embroidery she had personally sewn on the sleeve, panic instantly hit her.She held the shirt out to Claire. "This is bad… Christopher's definitely in trouble. We need to search the rainforest right now."At that moment, Samuel stopped Heather. "Don't be fooled by Christopher, Heather. He's just trying to use this little stunt to lure you away and ruin my celebration."Heather, who usually treated him kind

    When Claire and Heather noticed that I was awake, they immediately stopped talking. Heather stammered in a probing tone, "C-Christopher, you didn't hear anything just now, right?"I shook my head, and it was clear they were relieved.Heather came over to hold my hand. "Christopher, don't listen to what anyone says. With me here, no one dares speak badly of you."I gazed at her, my heart already broken. Wasn't she the one behind everything that had happened to me?Not only did she destroy me physically, but she also broke me mentally. She was the one who didn't want me to recover and wanted me to become a complete wreck.Heather cleared her throat before speaking hesitantly. "Christopher, our engagement photos won't turn out well with all your injuries at the moment."Why don't we have Samuel stand in for you, and we'll just edit your face onto his?"Since the person in the photos could be substituted, maybe the groom could also be changed.The moment I opened my mouth to protes
