Chapter 7

Author: Sweetie Moore
I kindly reminded her, “Did you forget? After I called you, you said you wanted to teach me a lesson, so you ordered the power to the lab shut off. You even wanted to make sure I could not use a fan.

“Or did you forget how I tried to start the backup generator, and you and Elliot blocked me from bringing it inside?”

Jessica’s face froze.

She remembered everything.

She had ordered the lab power cut off. She had stopped me from restoring power with the generator, destroying the last chance to

    Everything happened in what felt like a single heartbeat.People screamed and scattered in every direction while Elliot stabbed Jessica again and again in the stomach.Someone called the police.The officers arrived quickly and restrained Elliot, who had almost completely lost his mind.I helped call an ambulance. After the doctors loaded Jessica into the vehicle, one of them asked me what my relationship with her was.I thought for a second.“Ex,” I answered.Jessica suddenly jerked upright from the stretcher like she had come back from the dead.The nurse beside her gasped in shock.“The patient reacted. What did you just say? Say it again.”By the time Jessica woke up again, she was already in the hospital.Elliot had stabbed her ten times.She survived, but the damage to her body was severe. For the rest of her life, she would have to protect herself carefully, almost like a fragile paper doll.Elliot had been detained and was awaiting prosecution.After the ambulance

    Just as I was about to refuse, Elliot rushed over and shouted:“I do not agree with this.”Elliot’s eyes were red with emotion.“Jessica, you promised before that the shares would only go to me. How can you suddenly give them to Brandon now?”I was honestly a little surprised.Jessica always cared about practical benefits and personal gain. The fact that she had once promised Elliot company shares meant she had felt something for him at some point.Jessica’s feelings were never reliable.Back then, when I exhausted myself working for her company and collapsed inside the lab, she had been so moved that she offered me most of the company shares too.At the time, I was overwhelmed with emotion and only accepted fifteen percent.Recently, I discovered there had been a hidden trap inside the transfer agreement. The moment I resigned, she could reclaim those shares unconditionally.Even the gifts given during the most passionate moments of love had contained calculations and manipu

    When I arrived at the coffee shop downstairs, I was surprised to see that Jessica was wearing the hat I had given her back in college.Back then, neither of us had jobs. We were broke.That cheap little sunhat had cost more than two hundred dollars. It was more expensive than all the clothes we owned combined. For two poor college students, it might as well have been a luxury item.I still remembered her holding it in the store, looking at it again and again, wanting it badly but refusing to buy it.I kept it in mind.After that, I cut back on food and expenses for weeks and quietly bought the hat as her birthday present.Later, once we started making real money, she filled an entire walk-in closet with designer clothes and luxury accessories.Compared to all that, a two-hundred-dollar hat became meaningless.Yet she had dug it out again.Time had not been kind to it.The color had faded, and the brim had curled at the edges.Even a forgotten hat changed over time.People c

    Thinking about everything that had happened, Jessica suddenly looked like she wanted to slap Elliot a few more times.Seeing the irritation on her face, Elliot’s eyes reddened at once.“Jessica, do you think I am useless?” he asked pitifully. “I am sorry. I am too useless. I will leave right now.”Even while saying he was leaving, he did not move. He covered his face and secretly peeked at Jessica through the gaps between his fingers, clearly waiting for her to comfort him like she always did before.That time, Jessica did not fall for it. She only stared at him calmly, disgust filling her eyes.Elliot froze for a second before he gritted his teeth and ran toward the exit.Jessica grabbed him at once. “Stop right there. You are not leaving.”A tiny smile curled at the corner of Elliot’s mouth. He shot me a smug glance, as if saying:“See? Even after all this, she still cannot bear to let me go.”I silently shook my head.After something that disastrous, did he truly think Jes

    Since the company belonged to Jessica, she should have had every advantage when it came to evidence.After all her scheming, she destroyed herself over something as ridiculous as air conditioning.Looking at how miserable she appeared, I let out an icy laugh.“Actions have consequences,” I said. “Who told you to sacrifice everyone else’s health just to protect Elliot?“So how does it feel getting hit by your own decisions?“Oh, and speaking of videos, I remembered another one.”I pulled up a second recording. This one showed the entrance to the lab.In the footage, I pushed the backup generator toward the door while Jessica and Elliot stood in front of me, blocking the way and refusing to let me bring it inside.The moment the video played, despair spread across Jessica’s face even more clearly.“There was nothing I could do,” I said lightly. “Your assistant kept causing trouble for the lab. I brought it up with you several times, and you never cared.“So I installed a tiny b

She had stopped me from restoring power with the generator, destroying the last chance to prevent all that damage.She had forgotten that the lab did not only contain me. It also held delicate equipment and a brand-new drug that was supposed to launch soon.Jessica swayed so hard she almost collapsed.Looking at her devastated expression, I only felt that she deserved it.If she had known things would end like that, why do all that in the first place?Jessica swallowed several times. A cold light flashed across her eyes.She suddenly pointed at me. “You are lying. You must have
