My husband insisted that I wear high heels at the company’s annual meeting despite being pregnant. He compared me to his female secretary with a look of disdain. "Can’t you learn from Lucille? She’s eight months pregnant and still comes to work in full makeup, handling her tasks efficiently. If you don’t wear them, don’t go. I’ll be embarrassed!" He even tried to give the high heels to his secretary and take her as his date. Left with no choice, I forced myself to wear them. However, on the balcony, the secretary tripped me, spilling red wine all over me. Limping, I found my husband, only for him to sneer, "Tripping on flat ground? How clumsy!" Furious and pale with anger, I turned to leave. Someone urged him to chase after me, but he only got angrier. "How bad could it be? She’s so timid—she can’t survive without me! Just wait. When the event’s over, she’ll definitely be waiting in the car to drive me home." Alas, he was wrong. I turned and went straight to the hospital for an abortion.

He didn’t say a word and just signed his name.Then, he said, "Imelda, everything you took from me—I’ll take it all back one day."But I felt free. For the first time, I gave him a pleasant smile."I’ll be waiting."Not long after, I heard that he had lost everything in a failed investment. Even his last home was repossessed. He was left with nothing.At that moment, I was hosting a press conference, announcing the company’s new name: Lowe Corporation.Ironically, Lucille’s livestream scandal had given the company an unexpected surge in popularity. Ever since the ownership transfer, public support for our business had skyrocke

Lucille was live-streaming her own death. She stood on the rooftop, wrapped in a striking rose-red gown, her frail body shivering violently under the biting wind.Facing the entire world, she screamed, "You all forced me into this! You want me dead!"The comment section exploded with messages scrolling at lightning speed:[Quit acting. If you’ve got the guts, then just jump.][Typical attention-seeking move. Seen this a million times before.][You did something disgusting and now you want to guilt-trip everyone? You must be insane.]Lucille’s feet crept closer and closer to the edge.A sudden gust of wind blew through—She slipped.For a terrifying moment, it looked like she was about to plunge straight down, but she managed to steady herself although her face had gone completely pale with fear.Just as she hesitated, wondering whether she should truly jump, Shawn finally arrived. His face was dark, his voice cold as he yelled, "Lucille, are you out of your mind?! Get down fr

At last, the world around me fell silent.I lay back on the bed and unlocked my phone.My brother's messages had been pushed to the bottom.[Why do you need these surveillance videos?][Did something happen between you and Shawn? I’ve told you before—he’s not someone you can trust! If you’re done playing around, come home already. Do you really think our family can’t afford to take care of you? Why must you waste your time with that man?]I quickly sent him a few stickers to shut him up.Then, I opened the 100GB worth of surveillance footage he had sent me. One by one, I meticulously examined each clip until finally, I found it—the moment Lucille pushed me.It was just a small corner of the footage, but combined with her boastful social media posts, it was more than enough.Once I had organized all the evidence, I compressed the files and logged into my long-abandoned work email.Subject line: [Evidence]Then, I hit send.In the blink of an eye, Lucille’s deception—all her p
