Chapter 5

作者: Inksouth
When I returned to the factory, the men who had "bought" me dinner the other night surrounded me, demanding I foot the bill. "Pay up."

They handed me a receipt, and it was a high amount. Nobody knew how many people they had to borrow money from just to leave the restaurant that night.

Still, who invited someone to dinner and then demanded they pay? I dusted off my clothes and got up to leave.

One of them stopped me. "Think carefully. It's not worth ruining your image over this little bit of money."

The sight of his twitching mouth made my stomach churn. "And how exactly will this ruin me?"

He rubbed his hands together, then showed me a photo on his phone. "You go here, don't you?"

Damn Sydney and her peculiar way of setting me up. She had actually told them about our college.

"And?"

Seeing the shift in my expression, they showed me another photo. "Look at yourself."

In the photo, my face was flushed. One look at it, and it was hard not to let one's imagination run wild. "What

    Ten minutes passed."Five, four, three, two, one… Time's up!" Arthur yelled. "There goes your chance. Come on, Syd. Let's go to the cops."I stopped them. "Hold on!"Arthur turned to me angrily. "What tricks are you trying to pull this time?"Oh, nothing much. I just wanted him to get to know the father of his grandchild. The guys with whom we had dinner that night, as well as the ones who shared a room with Sydney, stood in a line.Their pale complexions from consistent all-nighters made them look malnourished."Take a good look," I said. "Pick whichever one you like. He'll be the father of the baby."Sydney completely lost it. She screamed and rushed toward me. "Are you trying to kill me, Chloe?"How about the fact that she actually killed me in my previous life? Not to mention, in this one, she tried to drag Dad down with her. It didn't make sense that she was the only one allowed to ruin others' lives.I shot Sydney a look of unmasked contempt, then turned back to stare at

    I looked at the young men standing there. They were all passing the blame around, none of them willing to admit the baby was theirs. In the end, they couldn't come up with anything and just slipped away.The crowd dispersed, leaving only Sydney and me, her eyes bloodshot with anger. She stormed toward me. "I've been so good to you, Chloe! Why on earth would you do this to me?"Good to me? All the favors I did for her in my previous life turned into a fire that burned my entire family. Was that called being good to me? What about getting me drunk and sending me to sleep with those men?Sydney truly had zero conscience left. I went over all the horrible things she had done, my body trembling without me even realizing it.If life hadn't given me a second chance, everything my family and I went through would be buried forever in that raging fire.I smirked and whispered in her ear, "There are still more surprises to come. Want to guess what they are?"She snorted. "I don't know why

    That night, I stood outside the hotel room. "Go on. He's right in—"Before I could finish my words, Sydney excitedly walked in. No sooner had she entered than Felicia showed up."Are they both inside?" Felicia asked, her gaze burning with fury and resentment.Still, barging in now would only ruin the plan. What if they hadn't done anything yet?Just as I was about to drag Felicia to a nearby cafe and wait it out, Fred and Sydney exited the hotel room. Her left cheek was swollen, her hair completely tousled.Deep inside, I sighed and mused, "They sure don't hold back.""Listen to me, Freddy!" Sydney cried. "I swear the baby is yours!"Fred slapped her with the back of his hand. "Shut up! Bitch, how dare you try to trick me into becoming the fall guy?"He angrily strode off, but Sydney kept begging him. "Please don't do this to me! You're the only one I've ever been with!"Before Fred could get physical again, Felicia, who had stepped forward at some point, stopped him. Immediat

    "I'm pregnant," Sydney said.As I looked at the pregnancy test she handed me, I couldn't help but realize just how good I was at jinxing things. Whatever I said actually came true."What are you going to do now?" I asked.If word got out, people would drown her with their vicious remarks about how unruly it was to get pregnant before marriage. However, she didn't seem to care in the slightest. If anything, she looked excited."I've decided to drop out of college and focus on having this baby," she said.I couldn't entirely call her stupid. After all, she proved herself to be the opposite when it came to setting me up. But calling her smart wouldn't make sense either, as she could barely think straight for herself.And who did she expect to be the father? Fred? What a joke."Chloe, could you tell Mr. Walmsley to meet me tonight? I want to tell him this good news in person," Sydney said excitedly.What was I? Their little errand girl?She looked away guiltily. "He hasn't been re

    "I'm sure you heard her, Mrs. Walmsley."Standing before me was none other than Fred's wife, Felicia Cane, the very woman who was with him from the ground up.I thought she would react with anger, maybe even some tears, toward the news of her cheating husband, but there was nothing. Instead, she looked at me somewhat contemptuously."I know you just want to use me to deal with your friend. You're too naive."I didn't get upset that she saw through my intentions. After all, someone who could run a successful factory back in the days clearly wasn't simple-minded. I smiled faintly. "What if she's pregnant?"Felicia's expression darkened. For years, she had been able to tolerate Fred's affairs, only to tear him apart last year. It wasn't just because the other woman showed up. It was because she had the audacity to tell her she was pregnant.Years of struggling to conceive had left a deep wound in Felicia. How could she possibly allow someone else to bring his child into the world?
