Chapter 5

Autor: Fickle
He was waiting for me to surrender.

[Our darling female lead did great!]

[The female antagonist deserves to be treated this way! The male lead is a wealthy heir, yet he has been so generous toward her. She still pretends to be above everyone else. Who does she think she is?]

I used my hands to push myself to my feet.

Marigold pointed at my face and berated me.

"How can you trample on someone else's genuine feelings like this? Are you heartless? Julian treats you so well. Don't you have a conscience?"

After insulting me, she turned toward Julian with concern.

"A woman like her doesn't deserve your kindness. Don't let a heartless woman like that make you sad."

Julian raised an eyebrow and looked at her with interest.

"Then tell me. What kind of woman deserves my kindness?"

A faint blush spread across Marigold's face.

"If it were me, I would never betray your feelings. I would love you more than I loved my own life."

[Ahhhh! The female lead is making a bold confession!]

[I love how our darling girl fights for what she wants! This is the strong female lead we adore!]

[Go for it, darling! Fight bravely for your love! Trample Ashley Scott's dignity and humiliate her!]

I watched everything coldly.

Blood dripped from my fingertips. Each sharp throb felt like it was piercing my heart.

"If the two of you are going to get together, I won't stay here and be a third wheel. I'm not into that."

Marigold blocked my way.

"Apologize."

I stared at her in disbelief.

"Are you insane?"

Marigold's face was filled with stubborn determination.

"Everyone's feelings deserve respect. You can't hurt someone so deeply and then leave as if nothing happened. That would inflict serious emotional damage on them."

I could hardly believe my ears. What kind of utter nonsense was she talking about?

I turned to leave.

Marigold grabbed me tightly and refused to let go.

"Even if you're my best friend, I can't enable behavior like this."

"Let go." I looked at her coldly. "I don't have a best friend who enjoys being a homewrecker."

"Miss Scott, watch your language."

Julian stepped forward and put an arm around Marigold's shoulders.

"She's my girlfriend, not the homewrecker you called her."

[The male lead is protecting his girlfriend so fiercely! I love him!]

[He's so handsome! Oh my God! The female antagonist will finally behave now, right? Has she realized her place yet?]

[Let me have a cameo in this drama! This is too sweet!]

"Wonderful. Two lunatics together."

I forced a smile. "I wish you both a lifetime of happiness."

I pulled Marigold's hand away.

Julian spoke coldly. "Ashley Scott, I'm giving you one last chance. Think carefully."

"There's no need."

"Fine."

Julian stared at me intently before suddenly curling his lips into a smile.

"My girlfriend wants you to apologize. If you don't apologize today, you know exactly what will happen after offending me."

"Fine."

I took two steps back and gave them a slight bow.

"I'm sorry for telling the truth and hurting your fragile feelings. I sincerely apologize."

Marigold raised her hand and slapped me across the face.

"Bitch!"

I looked at her and prepared to slap her back.

Julian stepped in front of her and grabbed my wrist.

"What are you doing? Ashley Scott, this is what you deserve. My girlfriend can hit whoever she wants."

    Sophie suddenly lowered her voice and looked mysterious."Do you two know where Marigold went?"I shook my head."As long as she never comes back to harass me, I don't care."Riley burst out laughing."You slapped the fear into her."Sophie spoke quietly. "Julian locked her up. Her family came to make a scene, but Julian paid them off. Marigold said she had been reduced to a plaything, chained up and forced to eat and sleep with the Grant family's dog."I frowned.As a woman, I couldn't accept it. No matter how much I hated Marigold, she could go to prison, lose everything she had, or die in poverty. But treating her like livestock and sexually humiliating her was still beyond anything I could condone.Riley saw my discomfort and sighed."Don't think about it, Ash. People have to pay for their choices. This was the path she chose."I took a sip of wine.Sophie patted my shoulder."Julian isn't doing well either. Apparently, he tried to kill himself by slitting his wrists. He survived

    I let his tears soak into the hollow of my neck."Julian."I spoke softly."When you slept with Marigold, did you feel even the slightest love for me?"His arms around me went rigid for a moment."...It was an accident. I was drunk, and she climbed into my bed on her own. I... I thought she was you.""Is that so?""But she told me herself that you said I was an orphan without a mother, and that no one else in the world would ever love me besides you."I spoke each word slowly."You knew how deeply my mother's death had affected me."Julian panicked and tightened his arms around me."I was only afraid you would leave me, Ash. I didn't mean any of that. I was just angry.""And what happened in that private room was also just something you did out of spite?"Julian remained silent for a long while."I only wanted you to understand that you could have anything as long as you stayed by my side. The world isn't easy without me, and I'm the one person who can give you everything."I smiled."

    [Isn't this going too far?][I agree. Using the threat of sexual violence against a woman is downright monstrous][Wasn't this the path she chose? She was the one who abandoned the male lead, so she should have considered the consequences.]I had no idea where Julian had posted my information.Drunk men often showed up to harass me. They offered me money to sleep with them, and some even tried to break down my door.I was too terrified to sleep. I could only sit by the door with a knife in my hand and doze fitfully, waking at the slightest sound.Then Julian called me."Have you realized your mistake?"I looked at the mirror in the entryway. The person reflected there looked disheveled, with bloodshot eyes filled with fear.I couldn't let my life be ruined like this.I closed my eyes for a moment."I'm sorry.""Sorry for what?""I shouldn't have insulted Marigold or hit her."There was no discernible emotion in Julian's voice."Is that all?""What do you want me to do?""Ashley Scott,

    "Shut your filthy mouth. You're giving me a headache."Marigold continued insulting me, so I kept slapping her.I didn't stop until she finally fell silent.[This is so satisfying. Am I allowed to say that?][The female antagonist is horrible! She beat our darling female lead like this. Just wait until the male lead takes revenge!][To be fair, the female lead's insults were a little too filthy.][That still doesn't give her the right to hit someone! Look at our darling female lead's face! The male lead is going to be heartbroken when he sees it.]I couldn't be bothered to respond to the comments.I released Marigold and sat back down on my bed."Just wait. Julian won't let you get away with hitting me."I rotated my aching wrist and didn't even bother looking at her."Go ahead."Marigold had arrived full of arrogance, but when she left, dragging her bags and scrambling away, she looked utterly pathetic.Riley asked worriedly, "Is Julian really going to retaliate?""I recorded everythi

    I stared at her."Do you really think no one remembers what you've done?"[Is the female antagonist ever going to stop? Our female lead was only looking out for herself.][It was just a handbag. I remember Sophie's family wasn't poor either. Why is she being so petty?][Exactly. Riley only failed one class. She could just retake it.]I finally understood why Marigold had become the female lead.A crowd of people with the same twisted values had been cheering her on.Marigold completely lost her composure.She dropped what she was holding and began screaming abuse at me."Ashley Scott, you're just bitter, aren't you? Why are you pretending to be some kind of justice warrior?"You keep saying you don't care about money, but you and I both know what it feels like to be unable to take a single step without it."I used to drink at a bar for a few dozen dollars, until I developed stomach bleeding. I never want to live like that again."We came from the same background, so why have you always

    I slapped Julian with my free hand."I hope you two stay together forever."Before they could react, I shoved through the crowd and walked out of the school.I didn't have time to keep arguing with them.I still had a part-time job to get to.I stayed busy until late at night.I returned to the dorm just before curfew.Marigold still hadn't come back.My roommate, Sophie Cook, hesitated before speaking."Ash, Marigold said she was spending the night with her boyfriend and wouldn't be coming back tonight."I was exhausted and had no energy to worry about such pointless drama."Got it."My other roommate, Riley Runn, asked, "Are you all right?"I shook my head."I'm fine."Was I really not sad?It would have been a lie to say I wasn't.I had once sincerely considered Marigold my best friend. I shared everything good I had with her. We came from poor families, so we understood each other's hardships better than anyone. We used to tell each other everything.The happy times I shared with
