Chapter 8 Making the Lie Real

Author: Perfect Timing
Wendy had received the same elite education as anyone else in this school. So, I couldn't understand how she hadn't learned one simple truth, which was that the only one anyone could really rely on was themselves.

Eventually, Wendy could no longer sit idly by.

Over the following weeks, Wendy came home covered in bruises and injuries. Some of them were fresh, while some were already fading.

Penelope naturally noticed. Whenever she asked Wendy what had happened, Wendy would timidly glance in

  • Evidence Against Her   Chapter 14 A New Life

    Wendy had only been back for a short time, but they already had a child on the way. Wow.Just as I expected, Frederick's expression changed the moment he heard her words.Conflict flashed across his face. He looked at me for a long moment, clearly torn. In the end, his joy of becoming a father won out."I'm sorry, Anya. I can't be the kind of man who abandons his responsibilities. I hope I can meet you first in our next life."I nearly burst out laughing. Still, my voice was shaky from barely hidden amusement as I snarked, "Frederick, could you stop flattering yourself? Who exactly gave you the impression that I'd ever be interested in you?"Then, I stopped paying attention to the two of them and promptly sauntered away.Wendy's reputation was destroyed beyond repair. Now that she was pregnant as well, I doubted she would have much time or energy to interfere in my life anymore.The desire for revenge that had once consumed me gradually faded.I later heard from the rumor mill

  • Evidence Against Her   Chapter 13 The Fall of Wendy

    I pulled out the copyright certificate I had prepared long ago and tossed it onto the table in front of Wendy.The registration date clearly showed that the song had been copyrighted five years earlier, a full two years before Wendy had first released it online.She hadn't even bothered changing the title.Wendy's eyes widened with fury the second she saw the certificate."Anya, you set me up! This was all part of your plan. You left those manuscripts in the piano room on purpose. You've been biding your time all these years. You've spent years plotting against me. Aren't you exhausted? Anya, you're terrifying.""Oh, darling, please!" I snickered. "How could you call this a setup when I don't remember forcing you to steal my music? Did I make you take those manuscripts? Did I make you publish those songs under your own name?"Then, I looked at her dead in the eye. "Wendy, perhaps you should spend less time blaming everyone else and more time examining your own flaws. Not everyone

  • Evidence Against Her   Chapter 12 The Trap Springs Shut

    Four years passed in the blink of an eye, and the day I had been waiting for had finally arrived.Wendy was back.She had stubbornly stuck to the same aesthetic for four whole years—long dark hair, flowing white dresses, and an ethereal look that made her resemble a ghost from a horror movie, at least to me.Meanwhile, I had found a career I truly loved. Success and accomplishment had made me more confident and radiant than ever.Wendy seemed small and provincial when she stood next to me.After she returned to the country, she avoided discussing the past altogether and moved back into the Sutton family home as if nothing had happened.Her social media content also shifted focus to her life back home.Frederick frequently appeared in her videos, and she openly presented herself as his girlfriend. As a result, her follower count continued climbing rapidly.Not long after her return, she received an invitation to compete on one of the country's most popular music competition show

  • Evidence Against Her   Chapter 11 Setting the Trap

    Perhaps Julian and Penelope felt guilty toward me as they found themselves caught in an impossible situation. They knew Wendy and I could no longer live under the same roof. Yet, they also couldn't bear to sever the bond they had built with her over the past 15 years.In the end, they decided to send Wendy overseas to continue studying piano at a music academy abroad.In the weeks before her departure, Wendy actually behaved herself for a change.…Meanwhile, I deliberately left several copyrighted compositions in the piano room where Julian and I practiced. I made sure to leave the manuscripts in the most noticeable spot possible.So, it was only natural for Wendy's eyes to fall on them when she entered the room looking for Julian.I saw the flash of amazement in her eyes.I then saw how she quietly slipped the manuscripts into her bag and stole them away when no one was paying attention. Perfect. The fish had taken the bait.I casually mentioned that several of my new compo

  • Evidence Against Her   Chapter 10 A Desperate Gamble

    "That wasn't what happened! Please, you have to believe me. Anya really did hit me. I wasn't putting on an act!" Wendy cried out in dismay.She panicked and grabbed Penelope and Frederick by the arms, desperately trying to defend herself. Alas, both of them pulled away from her. As she stood in the middle of the crowd, she quickly found that not a single person was looking at her with sympathy.Since I was armed with video evidence, her excuses carried no weight."It was you. This was a setup! Why else were you carrying a camera around? You wanted to humiliate me on purpose, didn't you?" Wendy's voice grew increasingly hysterical, making my ears ache. Before I could respond, someone nearby spoke up for me."Everyone at school knows that Anya is working on promotional videos for the school. She's always filming outstanding students and their daily activities. Of course, she'd be carrying a camera. Honestly, I would've fallen for your performance if she hadn't recorded it all.""God

  • Evidence Against Her   Chapter 9 The Truth Comes Out

    Wendy was completely unable to fight back.The commotion inside the stall quickly drew attention, and the people outside began pounding frantically on the door."Anya, have you lost your mind? Let Wendy go right now, or I swear I won't let this go!" Frederick's furious voice rang out from outside.By then, I had vented my anger enough. So, I released Wendy's hair, watching a few strands float down the floor.Her face was badly swollen, bright red handprints covering both cheeks. She stared at me as if she had just seen a ghost.Wendy rushed out of the restroom the second the door was rammed open. She was clutching her cheek with her hands as she threw herself into Frederick's arms and burst into loud sobs.Frederick looked heartbroken.Penelope stood next to him and gently patted Wendy's back. The look she gave me was filled with disappointment and anger."Anya, I never imagined you could be this cruel. What did Wendy ever do to deserve this? I was wrong about you. I honestly t
