Chapter 7

ผู้เขียน: Little Hedgehog
Countless conspiracy theories flooded in. As I read through the comments online, I felt surprisingly calm.

An hour later, Harrison called me. His voice sounded weary. "Can you stop this already, Mikayla? Fine, I'll marry you. Will that quell your anger?"

I nearly vomited out of disgust upon hearing his ridiculous words.

"Marry me? Who do you think you are, Harrison? You're practically an accomplice in this. I won't let you off!" I yelled at him over the phone.

Right away, I released all the evidence I had meticulously prepared. All the messages where I begged him to deliver the medicine and the voice recordings of our calls that day were all uploaded to the Internet.

I tagged him on social media and wrote, "I waited four hours for you that day. My family waited for the medicine that would save their lives while you were busy flirting with Zara at the hospital.

"She came between our relationship knowingly. You played both sides and let my family pay the price for your so-called l

    I scoffed disdainfully. "Do you think Harrison will keep helping you? When something concerns their own interests and benefits, the Somers family won't allow him to keep up his foolish ways. Just you wait. Once the verdict is out, everyone who supports you will turn their back on you."Zara's face turned ashen as I walked away. The river pollution had been severe and far-reaching. With clear evidence of the toxic wastewater discharge, Mateo was sentenced to life in prison.Initially, I had pushed for the death penalty, but then I realized that death was too merciful for someone like him. He should spend his life atoning behind bars.After the court ruling, Mateo chose not to appeal. Zara, on the other hand, could not take it. As we were leaving the courtroom, she grabbed a pair of scissors and charged at me, screaming, "Die, Mikayla!"Before I could react, someone stepped in front of me—it was Harrison.I watched in shock as the blade plunged into his stomach. Zara was stunned

    I quickly called Nina in a panic. The moment she heard what was happening, she exclaimed, "Stay put! I'm coming right now!"I was absolutely terrified as I watched the doorframe begin to give way. Flakes of white plaster fell from above. My whole body shook uncontrollably.Nina's apartment was in a city-center complex with two units per floor. At this time of day, the neighbors had gone off to work, and no one was around to help.The man outside grew increasingly agitated. Just as I felt I couldn't hold the door any longer, the sound of police sirens broke through the chaos. The man fled in panic, but I still didn't dare open the door.Not until the police arrived with Nina did I unlock it.The moment I saw Nina, I collapsed into her arms, shaking all over. Nina comforted me, "It's okay now. Don't worry. I'm sure the police will catch that guy. This has to be the Langdon family's doing!"The police reviewed the nearby surveillance footage and discovered that the entire b

    Harrison let out a sigh. "Mikayla, why are you doing this? It was just an accident!"An accident? My entire family died horrifically in the hospital, and he wasn't there to witness it. Now, he had the audacity to call it an accident.For the first time, Harrison felt like a complete stranger to me. He knew they were related to me by blood, yet he still said such heartless words regardless.I shook my head. "Harrison, do you know what my nephew said to me before he died? He held my hand and told me he wanted to go to the amusement park with you."He said he wanted to have a go at the claw machine with you. He'd been practicing for so long to impress you. But you were four hours late. You took away his chance to survive. He was only five years old when he died."At that moment, Harrison's face fell dramatically. I stared at him with a somber expression. "The harm you've caused can never be undone. So, stop showing up before me—you only disgust me. If you have even a shred of a c

    Negative opinions about me came rolling in as soon as Zara's edited video was uploaded to the Internet. She painted me as a money grubber who claimed that the amount she offered wasn't enough for me to drop the lawsuit."Oh my God! I knew it. How could an entire family of more than ten people just die from wastewater?""The woman did it on purpose. I feel sorry for her family. They can't even rest in peace.""They haven't had their funeral yet just so she can extort money. You can tell by her face that she's not a good person!""Am I the only one who finds this unbelievable? Are you guys whitewashing the culprit? The water pollution did take place, and that's a fact. What does her appearance have to do with it?""Isn't compensation justified in such a case?""I want to see the full video. I'm not buying this heavily edited nonsense!"Some voices of reason emerged among the commenters, but they were quickly drowned out by trolls and paid critics.I didn't bother responding.Aft

    Upon seeing the check on the table, Harrison's expression became grim. "Zara came to you sincerely to apologize and make it up to you. Take the money and let it go already!"I took a deep breath as my arm throbbed with pain after hitting the edge of the table. But instead of letting it weaken me, the pain made me see Harrison more clearly than ever."Is that so? Does this mean you were deliberately four hours late that day? You spent four hours with her because she had a tiny cut on her hand. The lives of over ten members of my family meant nothing to you compared to her, am I right?" I asked sharply.Harrison froze for a moment and said in a low voice, "You didn't explain things to me clearly. Besides, what happened that day was just a mishap. Let's not dwell on it anymore. You owe Zara an apology."I slapped Harrison with all my might. "Apologize? You piece of trash!""That's enough, Mikayla!" he shouted.But I gave him another backhand slap to shut him up."No, it's not enoug
