Chapter 9

Author: Perfect Timing
Ruby thrashed on the floor, rolling back and forth. She tried to cover the places where the acid had corroded her skin, only to find that touching them made it hurt even more.

Her whole body shook with pain.

I gritted my teeth as I felt my eyes getting wet.

Sandy handed me a tissue. "What, you still feel sorry for her?"

Of course not. I was just so happy.

"No. These are tears of joy." I wiped my face and the tears that had rolled down my cheeks. For the first time since I came back, I smile

    The "Ruby" who was still on the run sent me a photo.A ticket from Pineton City to Westerland.I smirked and sent back her file on her cosmetic surgery, along with a photo of her sitting in the departure lounge."Do you like the gift I prepared for you, old hag?" I asked with a smile.Before the fake Ruby could even look around to see where the voice was coming from, I walked straight up to her.She panicked, and the first thing out of her mouth was, "I only stole your man! Why are you so obsessed with me?!""I don't care about the trash you picked up, but the moment you tried to make me take the fall for you? You just won yourself a guarantee that I would never give up on hunting you down! You like Danny, right? I'll put you in the same prison as him!"She went stiff instantly.I stepped back with a pleasant smile as the police rushed in and arrested her once more.At the station, I dropped the file in front of Danny."Your taste is truly unique, going for a woman in her fif

"What, you still feel sorry for her?"Of course not. I was just so happy."No. These are tears of joy." I wiped my face and the tears that had rolled down my cheeks. For the first time since I came back, I smiled for real.It was pure chaos when Sandy and I were hustled out. Ruby and Danny were sent to the hospital. Ruby had shielded him from some of the acid, but it had still splashed into his eyes.I closed my eyes and leaned back into the car seat as Sandy spoke calmly. "Next step?"In my last life, Ruby had used her connections to stop me from getting treatment despite the pain and my cry for help. What right did they have to be treated this time?I tapped my phone, and the screen showed the la

    Hell?I was the actual one who had crawled out from hell.The victims' families blocking my way saw me try to leave, and the crowd grew restless. A large man charged at me, shouting, "Give me back my son!"While the families were indeed pitiful, it did not mean they had the right to hurt me."Ah!"There was a hoarse scream, and a police officer had already stepped in, throwing the man to the ground with a shoulder throw, pinning him down.I gave Danny a sneer. "You think you're the only one with a backup plan?"I turned around and walked to the police station, asking them to release the full footage.This time, my video went straight to the top of the trending list. The story flipped. The netizens began to attack Danny and Ruby out of rage at being deceived.And this time, someone uncovered something even bigger.The outrage became even worse when "The Mayor’s Illegitimate Daughter" hit the top of the trending searches.Very quickly, a formal investigation began. Sandy even

    "Ha... Hahaha!"Then, discussions about what was happening began. Those who weren't sure of the truth earlier started first."So, Danny and Ruby really are together. I heard she knew him back in university!""What a waste. It's quite sad for Janice, though. She has both looks and talents, but Danny picked someone with neither…"That was enough to break Ruby. She dropped onto the floor, clutching her head and sobbing. No one went to her except Danny."I'll send my resignation to your email later. I'll also hand the footage to the police. They can decide whether it's edited or not. I believe they can analyze it fairly! But… You've got one thing wrong. Ruby may not have talent, but she has the backing of someone influential. Her dad's last name is Thomas, too."I said that before leaving on purpose. Anyone curious would start digging into her background.I believed that it wouldn't take too long before Sandy and the whole city would know she existed.Upon quitting, I originally pl

    "The security cameras are down? Perfect. I actually bought a new one a while ago and had it installed in the corner. Funny, isn't it? All of the footage from the past week is on my phone. As a senior, I believe I do have the right to set up a camera, don't I?"Now, Ruby. Do you still think I was the one who went to the scene and signed off on the assignment roster for you?" I said with a faint smile.Ruby and Danny froze.I still did not understand, though.Why would they do this? Ruby was only an intern…Bits of memory floated up. I remembered seeing a person called Grant Thomas standing at a distance during the trial in my last life. His appearance back then had surprised everyone.He was the mayor of this city, famous for his integrity. Because of that, many people had supported him when he ran for office.When the sulfuric acid came flying at me, he had instinctively reacted and pulled Ruby toward him.But…It was public knowledge that his daughter was Sandy Thomas.Ruby.

    My eyes narrowed the moment I saw the name "Janice" on the page.Last time, Danny had pulled out the same document with the same signature on it. However, I knew I had never signed it despite the signature being an exact match with mine."So, the queen of the newsroom can't even admit when she's wrong?" Ruby cried almost genuinely, and our co-workers began to look at me doubtfully.Any doubt the boss still had vanished the second she started sobbing. Everyone couldn't help wanting to side with whoever looked weaker."Hello. We're here to investigate the false report regarding yesterday's fire." Two officers suddenly walked toward me. I still had the video of Ruby going to the fire on my phone. Even if they tried to pin the assignment on me, she could not escape making a false report.Ruby's face tightened with fear as Danny pointed at me and shouted, "Not only did you sign off on the assignment roster, but you also even made a false coverage on the scene?!"In my last life, the p
