Chapter 6

Author: Autumn Hour
Suddenly, Clara's uncle—sitting across from her—picked up a glass of water and threw it right in her face.

"You?" He let out a cold, bitter laugh, his eyes dripping with disgust. "I'm starting to think you deliberately caused my brother's death. A greedy, unfilial daughter who'd kill her own father for power—there's no way I'm letting you take over as CEO of the Stevens Group."

Clara stood there, soaked and shivering. She opened her mouth to argue, but her uncle wasn't done.

He snapped his fi

    "The doctor said that even with skin grafts, she'll never look the same again. She lies in bed every day now, in unbearable pain, kept alive on morphine. The only thing she wants… is to see you one last time," Spencer said.I tossed the damp towel into the basket and spoke calmly. "Spencer, we're already divorced.""I know! I know!" There was a trace of pleading in his voice. "But she's in such a miserable state now, Dr. Connolly. She begged me to bring you to see her. She said she was wrong. She wants to apologize to you in person…"Spencer still couldn't harden his heart toward the girl he had watched grow up.Apologize? The image of Clara smashing my hand for Rick flashed through my mind—wild, irrational. What was the point of saying any of this now?"There's no need. Spencer, it's over between us. This is the path she chose. She got exactly what she asked for. It suits her. Everything in the past is settled. Don't contact me about her again."The line fell into a long silence

    I took the phone and looked at the "perfect couple" on the screen. All that remained in my heart was a quiet sense of irony.It wasn't surprising.After hitting a wall with me, she naturally went looking for someone else to rely on—someone who could help her make a comeback. And Rick was clearly her only option.I handed the phone back to Spencer and shrugged indifferently. "Let her do as she pleases."The recovery for my hands would be long. Perhaps unwilling to give up on me, the hospital offered me a position in an overseas exchange program in Terimany. It was perfect—allowing me to undergo treatment while recuperating.I accepted without hesitation.At the same time, I arranged the paperwork for my father so he could come with me. Leaving this place for a while would do us both good.…On the day of departure, I was idly scrolling through my phone.A notification suddenly popped up—a livestream link.The thumbnail showed Clara and Rick, their faces bound together.My hea

    "Would she really sacrifice her own father just to send me to prison?"Rick twisted the truth, painting himself as an innocent victim of a vengeful ex-girlfriend.And the fans and internet mob who swallowed his lies hook, line, and sinker went completely berserk. They didn't just storm the Stevens Group headquarters and trash the place. They somehow tracked down the funeral hall address online, which led to that terrifying attack.Overnight, Clara became a public enemy, the most hated woman on the internet.Her access card to the Stevens Group was deactivated on the spot. She wasn't even allowed back to work. The PR department released a statement, and between the lines, it was clear they blamed her for trashing the company's reputation.Still, she didn't back down. Before long, she launched her own livestream, announcing publicly that she would take Rick to court and clear her name.Watching the video on my phone, I let out a cold laugh.Just two days ago, she was ready to die

She opened her mouth to argue, but her uncle wasn't done.He snapped his fingers, and someone immediately linked the conference room to the big screen.The next second, the earlier surveillance footage played for everyone to see—her blocking me in the hospital, refusing to let me enter the ER."You can't take him! We have a letter of forgiveness from the victim's family!"Her shrill voice echoed through the silent conference room.Then came a dead silence.Everyone stared at her like she was some kind of monster.It was beyond insane. For the sake of a killer, sh

    Clara grabbed the officer's arm, her voice shrill and piercing."There must be some mistake! My father is overseas on business. How could he possibly be in a car accident?"Spencer yanked her away, his face full of disgust and disappointment."There's no mistake! Go inside and see for yourself!" He pointed toward the operating room, his voice thick with accusation. "If you hadn't stopped Dr. Connolly from going in, would Mr. Stevens have died?"It struck Clara like a bolt of lightning.She looked toward the operating room in terror, no longer even aware of Rick clinging to her arm, and stumbled as she ran toward it.My hands, fortunately, had only suffered multiple fractures and comminuted breaks. The doctor said that with proper recovery, I might still have a chance to return to the operating table.After my cast was set, I stepped out of the clinic—and immediately saw Clara collapsed over my father-in-law's body in the hallway, wailing uncontrollably.She spotted me at once a

    "Stay right there. About your father—sign Rick's letter of forgiveness first. Only then can you leave."I was so furious I laughed. She had personally smashed my hands, yet she wanted me to sign a letter of forgiveness for her lover?"I'm not qualified to sign that."Clearly, Clara took my words as an excuse—a form of bargaining. She shot me a contemptuous glance, pulled out a card from her bag, and tossed it at my feet."Not enough money? Is three thousand enough? Your country bumpkin father wouldn't earn that in a year, right? Tommy, you should be grateful."I looked at her beautiful face and, for the first time, found it utterly repulsive."Clara, you and Rick really are a perfect match. One ruthless, one venomous—a pair of filth."Enraged, she slapped me across the face. The sting burned, but it was nothing compared to the agony in my right hand."Tommy, have I been too lenient with you?" She glared at me. "You want a divorce? Fine! Once this is settled, we'll divorce immed
