Love Was a Passerby Chapter 8
"Avery, honey, it's Mom."How are you doing now? Even if it costs me everything I have, I'll pay for your treatment. Just come home, okay?"My mother was sobbing uncontrollably. I had never heard her sound so heartbroken.But now, I no longer needed concern that came this late. "I'm doing fine now. Thanks for your concern."Hearing how distant I sounded, she paused on the other end of the line, then choked up even more. "Sweetheart, do you really have to talk to your own mother like this?"Before she'd even finished, Riley snatched the phone away. "Avery, Mom aged ten years overnight. I don't care how selfish you are, you can't just stand by and watch her worry herself sick over you. How could you do this to her?"I just smiled to myself.After everything I'd been through all these years, I had never wronged anyone.On the other end of the line, Riley sobbed, "Felix still hasn't woken up. He got into that accident because he was out looking for you. Are you trying to destroy

The moment I knocked on Frances's door, I'd already prepared myself for the worst.All I was doing was trading my body for some money so I could give myself the most dignified ending possible.It wasn't as if it were the first time.Out of habit, I took off my coat, unbuttoned my shirt, and sat down on the luxurious bed.Frances watched from nearby with his arms crossed, clearly amused. "You sure about this?"I closed my eyes for a moment and nodded.The next second, he caught my hand and buttoned my shirt back up for me, one button at a time. "If you need money, just tell me. Don't do this again."For a moment, I was dazed. Tears suddenly spilled from my eyes. "Why are you helping me?"Frances sat down lazily beside me and chuckled. "You have a pretty bad memory, huh?"I froze, as if I'd been carried back two years.When I'd had nowhere else to turn, I walked into the underground casino alone, looking for a job to earn money.Back then, Frances had been surrounded by beauti

The moment Felix saw Frances, he gripped the door so hard the veins stood out on his forehead. "Where's Avery?"One thing was certain. Avery's location was pinging from this very room.Frances blocked the doorway completely, looking utterly carefree. "Isn't she your wife? Why come looking for her in my room?"The one in my bed is my new plaything, a model who just made her debut. Want to join in?"Felix glared at him and pulled up the location tracker to show him. "The system says Avery is right here. Hand her over now. If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll take you down with me."Just as he was about to explode, a curvy model stepped out of the room, her hair still wet. "Well, Mr. Skye, what brings you here? Want to join us?"At the sight of her, the weight finally lifted from Felix's chest.He slammed the door shut and stormed off.For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel relieved or frustrated.Felix drove to the underground casino and had someone bring the owner to him

[So Avery Schotz really is the homewrecker? She played the victim so convincingly. She totally took advantage of everyone's kindness!][And her sister was even sticking up for her. A woman with no morals like that is disgusting!]The computer screen was filled with nothing but negative comments about Avery.Felix couldn't stand to read any more. He shut the laptop and pinched the bridge of his nose.Beside him, Ivy sighed. "It's strange. She always used to be so headstrong. Why did she agree so easily to call herself the homewrecker this time?"And all for just over thirty thousand? In the past, she wouldn't have given that kind of money a second glance."Felix couldn't help wondering the same thing. But he shook his head, trying to shake off his unease. "Mom, maybe she's really learned her lesson and is willing to accept what Riley and I have."He stared blankly at the flames in the fireplace, his thoughts drifting back to three years ago.One night, while drunk, he'd mistak

The moment the livestream started, the live comments filled with people standing up for me, all calling Riley a homewrecker who'd stolen her way into her position.The last trace of pity for me vanished from Felix's eyes. He handed me a slip of paper and told me to read from it.[I'm sorry, everyone. My sister is Felix Skye's real wife. I've just been playing the victim for sympathy because I wanted to take her place.]Riley put on a show of kindness. "Avery, if you're scared, you don't have to clear things up. I'll take the blame."The corner of my mouth twitched, and I pushed her away.Then, with everyone watching, I read the note out word by word.I knocked my forehead against the floor in front of the camera, again and again. "I'm the homewrecker. I'm sorry..."Public opinion flipped in an instant. The insults came pouring in.[And to think we stuck up for you! Did your conscience go to the dogs?][A homewrecker who isn't even ashamed of it. So trashy!][How could you do

Felix yelled, "What did I ever do to deserve this kind of torment from you? Until Riley's back to normal, don't even think about earning a single cent!"I meant to explain that I hadn't been targeting Riley.But before I could, a black van pulled up in front of me. The thugs from the underground casino climbed out and closed in on me, clubs in hand."Can't earn money, and all you do is cause trouble? All I had you do was sell drinks, and you still managed to get yourself thrown out! What, you want to go back to taking punches and sleeping with clients?"You owe the casino thirty thousand in breach-of-contract fees. Pay up now!"The color drained from my face. "I really don't have any money..."What I got in return was a storm of punches and kicks.I knew all too well how a club felt landing on my body. So why did it hurt so much more this time?When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the home I'd longed for day and night, as luxurious and cozy as ever.Suddenly, my mother's
