Chapter 3

His hand paused midair.

Then, he slapped Penny.

Blood seeped and soaked her bandaged face.

“Let me say this: stop making things difficult for me!”

He sneered and glared at her.

“The truth is, I love Penny. I’ve always loved her. As for you… I was just using you to build my career.

“You can’t compare to Penny in any aspect at all!”

Penny struggled.

She wanted to do something to let him know that it was her in the bed and not me.

However, Jared did not notice it.

Regardless of what she did, he only watched silently.

He did not care about her.

Penny was at her wits’ end and pointed at her tummy.

She thought that since she was pregnant, he would treat her well.

Jared was even more furious. His eyes burned in rage.

“You’re trying to use the child as leverage? Sammy, you’re thinking too much about this! I bet that child belongs to some random man!

“You know that Penny’s pregnant, so you deliberately got pregnant to distract me, didn’t you? Sammy, you’re such a vicious woman!”

He clenched his fist and punched Penny in the abdomen.

She was badly injured. She could not withstand the blow.

After a gruesome shriek, blood oozed out from her bottom half.

Penny suffered from a miscarriage because of Jared.

I instinctively touched my lower abdomen.

Jared treated Penny that badly only because he thought that was me.

He would be this cruel to only one person in the entire world.

That was me.

Without her baby, Penny lost her will to live.

She lay motionless on the bed.

Jared glanced indifferently at her, as if she were a dead object.

I wanted to know if he would still be this calm after he found out that he had killed his beloved woman and his own baby, whom he had been looking forward to for a long time.

I watched intently.

Suddenly, someone bumped into me.

“Are you blind?” Mary said.

I instinctively looked up and met her gaze.

I did not dare to make a sound.

I was afraid she would recognize me.

She stared at me for a very long while.

My palms were covered in cold sweat. I was afraid that she would recognize me.

“You’re mute too? Disgusting!” Mary said.

Then, she turned around and went to the ICU.

I let out a relieved sigh.

“Is Sammy dying?” Mary asked agitatedly. “I invited many influencers to set up their livestreams. When they arrive, you should cry before the cameras and request some compensation from the tour before she dies!”

She wanted to squeeze every last bit of value from me and used my “accident” to get money from the tour.

“How much can we get from that?” Jared was impatient. “I don’t care about small sums of money.”

“At least $3 million!” Mary said confidently. “After this, we can start our own livestream to earn money. It’ll be easy to earn $5 or $6 million that way.”

Jared’s eyes lit up.

$5 million was a lot to him.

Meanwhile, I had my $50 million.

The influencers that Mary invited arrived.

They started their livestreams in the hospital and made a big commotion.

The tour’s person-in-charge arrived with the influencers.

His face was pale as he explained, “We haven’t confirmed if this was an accident. We can’t immediately compensate you. $3 million is a lot of money…”

“But you almost killed my wife!”

Jared teared up and said in a trembling voice, “I can no longer be with her. How are you going to compensate for that?”

I was impressed by his acting.

Just moments ago, he was gleeful that I would die from the bear’s attack.

But just as quickly, he was crying in sorrow.

The livestream audience was touched by his cries and wanted to support him to get the $3 million he needed.

The influencers were even more absurd. They filmed Penny in her terrible state to get clicks through sympathy.

Once again, I thanked my lucky stars that I was not the one attacked by the bear.

Jared was portrayed as a loving husband in the livestreams.

Since he was good-looking, the viewers kept pouring in.

The tour manager was yelled at.

Due to the immense pressure, he agreed to the $3 million compensation fee.

I was disappointed as I watched.

When I was about to collect my evidence to sue Jared for murder, Mary suddenly lunged and tried to pull my mask away.

“You witch, don’t think I didn’t recognize you!”
