Chapter 8

Author: Big Orange
Preston burst into laughter, playfully tapping Yancy's nose. "I'm very pleased. I'll make sure to reward you well tonight."

"You're so naughty..." Yancy giggled, feigning shyness as she buried her face into Preston's chest.

Benedict's face turned deathly pale as he, in a fit of rage, tried to charge forward, but Preston's men swiftly knocked him back with punch after punch.

"Give Mr. Page the treatment he deserves." Preston sneered, casting a disdainful glance at Benedict before walking off with Yancy in his arms.

Benedict was dragged to the corner by Preston’s men and subjected to a brutal beating. Despite the relentless punches and kicks, he gritted his teeth, refusing to utter a single sound.

His bloodshot eyes remained locked on Yancy’s retreating figure, but she never once looked back.

Tears glistened in Benedict’s eyes, his expression hollow, his face etched with despair and hatred.

I stood there, watching the scene unfold, my face emotionless.

I knew this was the moment when the

    "She likes men, doesn’t she? Then I’ll send a few HIV-positive ones her way. Let’s see how she continues being a superstar!"The video abruptly cut off, Yancy’s terrified screams echoing in my ears.I shot to my feet, rage surging through me, my shoulders trembling as I forced out two words through clenched teeth."Crazy bastard!"At that moment, I fully understood why the system had told me to kill him.I had someone take the video straight to the police, but they were a step too late.By the time they found Yancy, she was lying in a pool of blood on a lavish bed, barely clinging to life.Several factions were searching for Benedict, but it was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth—no trace of him anywhere.…But Benedict, long gone from everyone’s radar, was now in my hands.When my people finally found him, he had already been beaten, his limbs broken, discarded by the roadside like trash and left to die.I visited him in the hospital. The moment he saw me, his eyes lit

    Suddenly, Benedict wrapped his arms tightly around me from behind, his breath coming in quick, desperate gasps as he pressed his lips to my neck."Don't go, Lucia... don't leave..."I fought the wave of nausea rising in my stomach and, taking advantage of his momentary distraction, twisted around and kicked him hard.He let out a pained grunt.I glared at him, cold fury in my voice. "Try that again, and I’ll make sure you regret it."Benedict clutched his lower body in pain, his bloodshot eyes locked on me. "Lucia, even if you’re not mine, you can’t belong to anyone else!"I rolled my eyes, thinking, “What a lunatic,” before walking away.But it didn’t take long for me to understand exactly what he meant.---My private photos started circulating wildly online. Even though the PR team acted swiftly to suppress the scandal, the damage was already done. My Instagram was flooded with vulgar comments, mostly from men, lewd and mocking.Howard Corporation’s stock plummeted.I sat in my o

    “Are you too afraid to face the ugly truth, or is it your own foolishness from the last life that you're unwilling to acknowledge?”---After that day, I never saw Benedict again. The rumors surrounding Yancy were also quickly suppressed.Soon enough, the day of the North Suburb land auction arrived quietly.When I saw Benedict, he looked completely different from a few days ago. Though he wore a cheap suit, his hair was neatly slicked back. His expression was weary, but his eyes burned with determination. It was clear that he saw this auction as his last chance.Yancy followed behind him, her face cold and indifferent.Benedict spotted me too, and a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, though his eyes still brimmed with disdain. I lowered my gaze and gave a faint, indifferent smile in return.As the bidding officially began, Benedict’s grin grew wider with each bid he heard, clearly pleased with the rising prices.Then my name was called.Benedict immediately straightened in his

    As long as Benedict secured the North Suburb land, the Page family would cover his debts. But I wasn’t a housewife, and he grossly overestimated the power of the “Mrs. Page” title. He conveniently ignored everything I had done for him.Before the auction, I heard another rumor: Benedict had been detained for a week after getting into a brawl with a wealthy businessman, supposedly over Yancy. The story even trended online for a while before being quickly suppressed.A close friend, linking arms with me, was laughing so hard she could barely speak."Lucia, I have to admit, Yancy has some tricks up her sleeve. She’s got Benedict wrapped around her finger.""The guy's wife caught them red-handed on the film set—her husband and Yancy making love, but Benedict still believed Yancy when she said she’d been forced into it after being plied with alcohol. And what did he do? Like a fool, he stormed into the guy’s office and beat him up!""Anyone with half a brain could tell Yancy was lying, but

    The moment I saw him, I regretted meddling in this mess.It didn’t surprise me that he guessed I had been reborn—after all, I never intended to hide it. Only by confronting him head-on could I constantly remind myself of how foolish I had been in my previous life.But even so, I tightened my grip on my bag, my knuckles turning white, yet I said nothing to interrupt him.Benedict wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face twisted in disgust."Lucia, I really hate you. You think you're so noble, pitying me. I don’t need your pity! How are you any different from the rest of the Page family scum? Hiding behind a mask of compassion, looking down on me from your high horse."His words cut deep. I pressed my lips together, my gaze hardening as it fixed on him.Even though I had prepared myself, the ache in my chest was unavoidable.I had stood by his side for over thirty years, giving him everything I had. When he had stomach problems, I learned how to cook for him. When he compl
