Kelsey indeed provoked Irene. She fainted to test my true feelings. I had already contacted the hospital since Kelsey's body wouldn't last through the month. At that moment, Frank thought I was going to harm her and wanted to send her away again. I considered Frank naive. After all, Kelsey was my everything!When Kelsey was first taken to the basement, Frank stayed up all night. I told him that Kelsey had gone to a faraway place and needed to please Irene to get her back. Frank was compliant.Every interaction with Irene was an act of appeasement on his part, much to her delight. The day before Kelsey emerged, I feared Frank might reveal the truth. I reminded him sternly to keep pleasing Irene, or we might lose Kelsey forever.Frank performed well. However, I found myself unable to meet Kelsey's gaze. On the drive, Kelsey asked if I intended to kill her. Her question shocked me. How could she think that? She was the one I would protect with my life!Yet, I couldn't
At this moment, Irene appeared. Her family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and she asked me to save them in exchange for herself. At first, I ordered someone to throw her out, but as my eyes caught the blood type information on my desk, a plan began to take shape.Soon, I accelerated the Yatezes' downfall. Then, I moved the blood bank and equipment that Irene had to the basement. I manipulated our family doctor into deceiving Irene into believing she had a heart condition.On the day Kelsey gave birth, I remained steadfastly by her side. Even so, Kelsey was still given a critical illness notice. The doctor said she needed to rest and couldn't afford to waste her energy on anything else. Thus, I brought the baby back home. Irene volunteered to take care of the baby, and I agreed to it for the sake of my plan.Kelsey underwent treatment in the hospital for six months, and I never told her the truth. Her inherent kindness meant she would never have consented to my plan invo
After Irene returned to the country, she sought me out in the basement. At that time, Wesley was already preparing to film 'The Killer 2'. Irene threatened me with Frank in exchange for the manuscript. I was extremely reluctant to do so. However, under her coercion, I was forced to write the script for 'The Killer 2' in the end. When I got back, I added more details and sent it to Wesley. Vincent was a ticking time bomb. Hence, the most effective solution was to orchestrate his demise. 'You only have seven days left!' the system said hastily. That was why I didn't dare to love Frank. Engaging in this narrative meant using my own life as a bargaining chip to ensure the demise of the story's protagonist. Frank inherited the Carson Corporation, but he was still too young. Thus, I temporarily placed the company under the Reinz Film Studio. After Frank turned 18, he would take over the company officially. Also, I changed both Mille and Frank's names. Now, they shared t
"If you kill her, I will never forgive you!"Although Irene was hateful, she wasn't worth Frank risking his future."I… I won't. I'll listen to you, Mom," Frank said as he tugged me carefully.I sighed as I looked at him.At the orphanage entrance, I ran into Wesley Reinz."I didn't expect you to be here, Mr. Reinz. Is 'The Killer 2' wrapped up?"Wesley looked at me guiltily and said, "I'm sorry… I didn't know…"'The Killer' was a script I wrote six years ago. It was also one of the books Irene stole. At that time, I had already ironed out most of the details with Wesley online. After Irene impersonated me, she replaced me and completed the rest of the filming on-site."I thought she was you. I'm sorry about that. I should have realized it sooner!"Back then, Wesley was only 23 years old. He became famous and got many awards because of this piece. Meanwhile, Irene rose to fame as the screenwriter of the project. She quickly became a national celebrity, and rumors of a se
The system had informed me that Vincent had been locked in the basement for days. I cautiously walked in and overheard a woman's anguished moans.It was Irene.I navigated the cold, damp walls until I found him. There stood Vincent, close to her, clutching a small knife. His expression was dark and manic."You told me," he snarled, his voice low and trembling, "that if I buried my love for Kels, she would stay with me. So, I did it. "I forced myself to love you, Irene. And yet… why did she still leave me?"Irene was tortured to the point that she was almost breathless. "You deserve this, Vincent!" she spat weakly, her words laced with bitterness. "Did you really love me? Take a look at the heart beating in my chest. It's Kelsey's! You deceived me! You swapped out her heart and put it inside me! This heart won't last through the month, will it?""So what? Are you worthy of her? If it weren't for your tricks, she would still be alive! You're the one who killed her!" he shouted
Vincent had urgently flown in a top heart specialist from Bathlon overnight.After examining my condition, the specialist shook his head, a deep frown creasing his brows. "How could you let her undergo surgery in this state?"Clearly baffled, Vincent asked, "But… isn't she in good condition?""Good condition? Ridiculous! Which quack gave you that evaluation? Look at her! There's not a single part of her body that's in good shape!" The specialist's voice was thick with scorn.Vincent's expression darkened with anger. "Bring Dr. Wilkins here immediately!"As an assistant rushed off, the specialist continued scrutinizing my scans, his expression becoming increasingly solemn. "Three years ago, the patient's legs were crippled, and no treatment was provided. Not even amputation. The condition has worsened considerably.""Her legs were crippled?" Vincent muttered in disbelief. "That can't be right… I would've known…"Without looking up, the specialist added, "Moreover, she has a sever
