Lahat ng Kabanata ng Choosing A Path of Happiness: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I turned and left as countless people stared at me in surprise. I did not feel any regret.Back at the McLaren residence, I removed the cumbersome gown.Everyone knew that I would do anything for Emil, despite his giving me the cold shoulder. When it came to matters which concerned him, I would plan far ahead and organize everything thoroughly for him.More than once, Emil mentioned that he was exhausted from work and wanted to unwind. Hence, I checked his work schedule and planned a trip to Wanoki Island because he said that he missed the beach and sea there.However, Emil didn't agree to the trip to Wanoki Island. Instead, he chose to go hiking and camping with Sarah, and I was ordered to go along.The rain was pouring, but Emil sent me to pick up Sarah's bracelet. In the end, I stumbled down the cliff and broke my leg. I ended up in the hospital for two months afterward. I didn't want to experience that sort of hopelessness in life again, and leaving Emil was the first step

I collected my graduation certificate and received news from the resumes I had sent out. The interview offer that I was most happy with was from a large company located in the neighboring city.I wasted no time in setting an appointment for an interview. In my previous life, getting a job was something I looked forward to the most.I was incredibly anxious. Thankfully, the company called me before I hopped onto the train; I had passed the interview.On the train, I excitedly searched for a suitable apartment. It exhilarated me that I would soon break away from Emil.Just after I disembarked the train, I received a call from Emil. The moment the call connected, he barked rudely, "Where are you, Penelope?"It felt as though a bucket of cold water had dampened my high spirits. "What's the matter?"Emil's voice turned colder. "My parents are back. They're asking you to come home for dinner."It was already evening by the time I reached the McLaren residence. Four people were seated

Didn't Emil say that my existence was the reason he couldn't be together with Sarah? So, on that day, I posted a picture of my hand in the blond man's hand.His slender fingers laced themselves through mine tightly, and our hands formed the shape of a heart. The caption was simple and blunt. "This is official." The moment I posted it on my social media, the comment section went abuzz."What's happening?""This doesn't look like Emil's hand.""What are you doing, Penelope?""I'd advise you to delete this immediately."Emil's friends attacked me at the same time.Delighted, I set down my phone in satisfaction. "I recognize you. You're Sean Tanner, the lead performer of a popular boy band."Sean waved his hand in embarrassment. "Our group has already disbanded, and I'm not the front man anymore."Through this short interaction, I could already roughly guess his character. By covering up so tightly, he could be a celebrity or a pervert. However, he could also have social anxiety

A friend sent me a link, telling me to check it out, and I clicked on it. Sarah was making a live broadcast from the hospital, crying and accusing me of causing her miscarriage.Playing the victim was her best act. With the hospital as the background and the medical report, she easily convinced people that she was telling the truth.Sarah led the netizens to cyberbully me. They found my number and called me. Suddenly, my social media page was destroyed. Every time I turned on my phone, I received hostile comments.Even my ex-schoolmates hopped on the bandwagon, regardless of whether they knew me or not. I laughed in exasperation and made a police report right away. Next, I called Emil, asking him to hand over the surveillance video.However, despite all of my planning, I didn't anticipate that Emil could be so shameless. "Penelope, I can clear your name. The surveillance video is at home. As long as you return home and come back to my side, I'll give it to you."I've seen Sarah'
