I Played Dead and She Went Crazy Chapter 8
At the auction, Penelope was wheeled in, just as I had been when I first arrived in Ferentia.A colleague joked, "Is Penelope here to bid on Mr. Lawson's Embers of Myth too?"There were plenty of bidders. The price kept climbing, and many dropped out when they could no longer bid higher. In the end, the bidding came down to just Penelope and a bidder from Raventhia."One million dollars," that bidder said."1.1 million dollars," Penelope countered.Taylor rubbed her face and exclaimed, "This isn't even a buyout deal! There's still an endless stream of revenue coming later. My dream is really coming true."But your ex-fiancee is seriously persistent. Is she trying to win you back?"I ignored her comment and watched the scene unfold like a detached spectator.Ultimately, Embers of Myth was sold to Penelope for two million dollars, nearly equaling the combined total of the previous ten games.After the deal was finalized, Penelope walked toward me. Since injuring her leg, she had

The next day, while I was preparing for the auction of Embers of Myth, I received an unexpected call from a hospital in Paville.Penelope had slashed her calf. When paramedics arrived, they found her lying in a pool of blood with a wide smile on her face. She muttered to herself, "This way, Teddy will forgive me."The hospital staff said that Penelope only requested to contact me. She refused to accept any medical treatment unless I went to see her. At that moment, her wound was still bleeding heavily, soaking her in blood.But I couldn't easily forgive her. Doing so would have felt like betraying the man I was two years ago—the man she deceived and pranked a hundred times.I declined politely. "I don't know Ms. Hart. If she insists on refusing treatment, you can contact a funeral parlor for her."Penelope's trembling screams immediately erupted from the other end of the line. "Teddy, my leg hurts so much! I feel like I'm dying. I'm begging you, please come see me. Just one look i

Two years later, I established a game studio in Ferentia and developed the Caldren-style fantasy game "Embers of Myth", which I had previously designed on my own.I submitted it to the International Game Design Competition under the name "Ethan Lawson".Due to its unique blend of Caldren mythology and progression fantasy, its core style that resonated with the international market, and its undeniable quality, the game won the Gold Award. It caused a massive stir back in Caldren.It was the first time a game designer from Caldren had ever won the Gold Award in that competition. The game's auction price quickly climbed to the top, with bids constantly rising until they reached tens of millions. My studio was also flooded every day by an endless stream of potential partners.The auction would take place three days later. Dad asked if I was afraid that such a high-profile success might lead Penelope straight to my door.Rumor had it that people in Jorian's social circle called her a l

I glanced at my phone. A post from Jonathan's private Instagram account popped up under my special notifications.The caption read, "Penelope said she wanted to play a compilation of pranks on a clown at our wedding. Footage of him foaming at the mouth and crying his eyes out would make the perfect intro."The photo attached to the post showed Penelope's safe at her apartment, filled with 99 voice recorders lined up in perfect order.As I looked at the countless missed calls from Penelope, I smiled and removed the SIM card. She still didn't know about the plane crash, only that I had learned about her schemes.I wondered how she felt at that moment. Was she consumed by doubt, anger, or panic? Or was she uneasy and utterly lost?None of that mattered anymore.Dad had told me that it was very easy to make a private jet disappear from radar and that I didn't need to worry. Now, I was going to vanish completely from Penelope's life.…When Penelope heard about the plane crash, sh

When I regained consciousness, my right leg was already encased in a thick plaster cast. The doctor said the injury could leave permanent damage.Penelope sat beside my bed, looking haggard. Her face was drawn with distress, and her eyes were filled with guilt and sorrow.She drew a tiny teddy bear on the plaster and said softly, "Teddy, I'll stay with you until you're fully recovered."I closed my eyes as Penelope tucked me in, careful not to wake me.Then she busied herself, gathering everything I needed for my hospital stay. She didn't stop for nearly an hour, looking like the most devoted girlfriend imaginable. But she was the one who had caused all this.I pretended to be asleep, but my heart pounded wildly in agony.Penelope stayed by my bedside all night without sleeping. She kept kissing the bear on my cast, with tears streaming down her face. She gripped my hand tightly as if I would vanish the moment she let go."I'm sorry, Teddy. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have

At Jonathan's birthday party, Penelope's friends pushed the biggest slice of cake toward her, saying, "Penelope, Jonathan said you love sweets the most."I looked up at Penelope when I heard that, but she avoided my eyes and ate it as if nothing was wrong.The moment she tasted the cake, she looked as if she was about to gag. Yet her friends held her down and continued forcing the rest of the cake into her mouth. "One bite won't be enough. We agreed to prank Edward with a miscarriage. Don't back out now."I realized something was wrong and rushed over. "What are you doing?"But Jonathan blocked me, holding a plate of cake. "Edward, it's my birthday—have some cake."As soon as he finished speaking, he had someone pin me down and shoved the cake into my mouth.After finishing the cake, Penelope ran to the restroom and threw up violently. Blood streamed down her legs, a horrifying sight.The baby!I tried to charge in, but Jonathan stood in the doorway and said with a grin, "Penel
