Front Seat Stolen: My Girlfriend's Biggest Regret Chapter 10
I listened to Emmett's accusations, only finding them absurd."Emmett Stone," I said. "Have you forgotten who wore my shirt and lay in my bed just to taunt me?"And who deliberately altered the data and then tried to send me to prison?"I walked toward him step by step. I hated the dust around here, but my presence alone forced him to stumble back several paces."If you were so devoted to her, why did you run off with the last of her rainy day funds when she went bankrupt and ended up living on the streets?"His face instantly went deathly pale. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. People like him always demanded that others be saints while never examining their own ugliness.He suddenly squatted down and burst into sobs, trying to wring sympathy from me with his performance."I'm broke… That woman hit me and kicked me out…"I looked at him, but nothing in me stirred.Once, I'd thought he was the biggest stain on my life. But now, it seemed like he wasn't even worth an

I still had mysophobia, but I'd learned to make peace with myself.One day, I was sitting in my studio, sketching out ideas for a new collection, when my phone rang. It was an unknown number.The caller identified himself as someone from a police station in one of the suburbs."Is this Mr. Bruno Keaton? We have an unclaimed body here. We found your contact information among her personal effects."My hand stilled, and the pen dragged a long, dark streak across the paper."Who?""Her name is Ruby Carrington. The cause of death was organ failure triggered by a pulmonary infection."The officer's voice sounded slightly distorted over the line."She was clutching a photo of you until the very end. And… a rusted metal ring."I fell silent for a long time.A flood of images flashed through my mind, finally freezing on the damp water stain on the passenger seat from that day many years ago."Mr. Keaton, would you be able to come by and handle the arrangements?"I looked out the win

Ruby wrote, "Bruno Keaton, if I die in front of you, will you forgive me?"I let out a cold scoff when I read the message. Did she think that her good-for-nothing life could still evoke anything in me emotionally?My fingers danced across the screen, and I replied with just four words. "Don't dirty the floor."People like her even wanted to make their death dramatic. Too bad I had no intention of looking at her even once again.…Ruby didn't actually have the courage to kill herself. Selfish to the core, she valued her own life more than anyone else's.But living became far worse than dying.Because of the video exposing everything, she became the laughingstock of the entire city. No company dared hire her anymore.She could only deliver food at the docks or clean public restrooms. Ironically, the woman who would lose her temper over a single wrinkle in her shirt back then now spent every day dealing with filth.Due to the terrible living conditions and long-term heavy drinkin

My voice was low, but it cut like ice."I have mysophobia, and not just with things. When a person is filthy, even glancing at them makes me feel like my eyes have been sullied."I motioned for the security guards to drag her out. As she was pulled away, she continued screaming my name.But my new business partner only asked gently, "Do you want to step outside for some fresh air?"I smiled and nodded. Yes, the air outside would be much cleaner than the air in here.…Ruby didn't stop even after she was thrown out.She registered an account online and started posting about our "seven-year love story". In her videos, she portrayed herself as the victim, packaging herself as a pitiful woman who had lost her lover due to a momentary lapse in judgment.She called me heartless and ruthless and claimed that when her company was in trouble, I ran off with all her money and staff. She asserted that all my current success was built on her sweat and blood.As my name had recently skyroc

"Rue, what do these numbers even mean? I don't understand them…" Emmett whined.For the first time, Ruby found his soft, needy tone so grating that it made her want to kill someone.…Six months was more than enough time to drag an arrogant, untouchable woman down into the dust.Because of a tax audit and the loss of its core talent, Ruby's company had become nothing more than an empty shell.Investors pulled out one after another, and creditors camped outside the building every day.To cover the tax debt, she sold the company and the house. In the end, even her million-dollar watch ended up in a pawnshop.Now, she was crammed into a dark, damp basement in a low-income neighborhood in the city. The air reeked of mold, and the walls crawled with cockroaches. For someone like her who'd once lived in comfort and luxury, this was basically hell on earth.As for Emmett—the man who once swore he'd rebuild everything alongside her—the moment he realized she was well and truly broke, h

Enduring the agonizing pain, I went to the police station first to file a formal report and submit all the evidence.Only after giving my statement did I head to the hospital to get my wound treated.The doctor said that if the cut had just been less than an inch deeper, the nerves in my hand would have been completely severed. Although they managed to repair the damage, in the future, it would be basically impossible for me to lift anything heavy or draw detailed designs ever again.Staring at my hand, thickly wrapped in gauze, I unexpectedly felt a strange sense of relief.At the same time, Ruby was calling me nonstop, as if she'd lost her mind. I simply powered off my phone and threw it into the trash.She thought I was still the same as before—throwing a little tantrum, and in the end, I'd come crawling back to her.After all, I'd once loved her so deeply that I had lost myself in the process.At the moment, Ruby was throwing a "victory party" at the house with Emmett.
