Someone Else Became the Tragic Protagonist Chapter 9
Kris’ voice turned grim. “I don’t want to argue with you right now.”Without sparing Ruby another glance, he turned and walked away.Seeing that, Ruby walked toward me with a dark expression.“Simone, are you deliberately sabotaging our relationship again?”I smiled scornfully. “As if there’s anything left for me to sabotage…”She gritted her teeth, then signaled for a server to bring over two glasses of red wine.I watched quietly.The glass in her right hand had an almost imperceptible, unnatural scratch on the stem.She reached out and placed that marked glass into my hand.The dark red liquid gleamed in the dim light, with an ominous sheen.I smiled, turned, and walked toward Kris.He had just finished a round of greetings. His brows were knitted in exhaustion.When he saw me approach, his face softened a little. “What’s the matter?”I handed him the glass from Ruby. “Ms. Dynevor offered this to me. You look tired. You should have it instead.”“Wait!”A short dista

“My arm’s useless now,” he said very softly, yet they landed like a heavy blow. “You should go.” He closed his eyes again. He sounded utterly exhausted. “I want to be alone.”“Kris…”“Go!” His tone was firm and final.Ruby stared at his side profile. He had turned away from her. A toxic mix of fear, resentment, and jealousy flared in her chest.Before she left, she shot me a vicious glare.As soon as the ward door closed, Kris turned to look at me.His voice was hoarse. “Simone, I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight. I thought Ruby was still the same as she used to be. I shouldn’t have asked for a divorce.”I said, “There’s no point to any of that now.”Watching him argue with Ruby, I finally understood why what we had was always quiet, steady, and calm. There was no love between us. Without love, there was no hatred.A strange relief washed over me. I smiled. “Kris, you never should’ve married me, and I never should’ve agreed.” The emotions that flickered in his eyes th

I looked at the screen in indifference.[You were the one who hired them, Ms. Dynevor. I was there. I heard your conversation with those men.]The typing indicator stayed on for a long time. In the end, no response came.I called the police. “I’d like to report a case of conspiracy to commit assault. The address is…”By the time I finished giving my statement and walked out of the precinct, it was nearly dark.I drove straight to the hospital and found Ruby in the hallway outside the operating room. She was a crumpled, weeping mess.The moment she saw me, she lunged at me like she had lost her mind. “Simone! How dare you show your face here?! This is all your fault!”I stepped aside. She staggered and slammed into the wall. “The police came looking for you, didn’t they?” I asked calmly. “Hiring people to assault someone is a crime. Even attempting something like that is an offense. Seeing Kris’ condition, do you think it’ll be classified as a minor or serious injury? If it

She pushed the car door open and stumbled out, nearly twisting her ankle in her high heels.“Stop it! Stop it, all of you!”She slammed her fists against the heavy door, but the door, locked from the inside, did not budge at all.The chaos inside drowned out her cries.Ruby shook all over as she fumbled for her phone to call the police.Then, as if something struck her, she lowered the phone. Her hands trembled.Her mind went completely blank.She had only one thought. The person inside was Kris.This was not how it was supposed to be.How could Kris be inside?Another muffled cry of pain sounded through the thick door panel. Ruby felt like her heart was being torn apart.“Stop it! I’ll pay you! I’ll pay you double… no, ten times as much! Please, just stop!”She pounded on the door with her handbag like a lunatic. Her screams were shrill and desperate.The men inside finally seemed to hear the commotion outside. The noise inside abruptly stopped.A hoarse voice shouted, “

The heavy door slammed shut.Pain shot through Kris’ knee. He stumbled and had to brace himself against the door to stay upright.Rage and disbelief shone in his eyes. He felt as if he had never really known who I truly was. “Simone, you’ve really lost your mind! When you slapped me, I let it slide. Looks like that made you think I’d tolerate anything! Do you really think I’ll put up with whatever you do? Open the door!”I ignored him. Following the system’s instructions, I turned the key and deadbolted the door.The key dug painfully into my palm.I did not hesitate even for a second. After all, if I stopped sabotaging myself, I would be dead.I turned around and took out what Kris had made the driver buy before getting home.Inside the plastic bag was a bicycle lock.The lock on the front door was already being turned from the inside. Kris was trying to open it.I was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on my forehead. I hurriedly threaded the bike lock through the two do

“Any form of organ trafficking is a serious criminal offense. Do you understand that this is a crime?”I nodded. “I know it’s illegal, and even more so to conduct such transactions on an online platform that’s public.”If it were not illegal, the system would not have told me to post it.After looking more closely, Kris frowned. “I didn’t post that.”He shot me a glance. He looked livid.“Are you denying it?” The officer slammed the table impatiently.“Take a look at this! Your company employees posted this on a forum last night. You openly ordered a doctor to draw someone else’s blood for Ruby Dynevor and even offered money to encourage people to donate blood. Do you know that’s illegal?”Kris pursed his lips for a second before saying, “The transfusion didn’t happen in the end.”The officer snorted and said, “You showed the intent to commit the act. It just didn’t go through.”Just then, another officer escorted Ruby into the room.Tears streamed down her face as she threw
