Semua Bab You Wed Your Past; I Wed My Future: Bab 401 - Bab 410

It all changed when Celina saw Stephanie. Suddenly, she felt as if she'd grasped a lifeline.It wasn't because Stephanie came from a prominent family, but because Celina could sense that Stephanie was stronger and braver than her.She thought maybe some of Stephanie's courage would rub off on her—courage that would enable her to finally speak about what had happened back then.Stephanie had anticipated Celina's declaration. If she'd been in Celina's shoes, what she would've most wanted was also to expose the truth of the past."Alright." Stephanie nodded. "Don't be afraid. I'll help you."Kiara deserved to have her wicked deeds revealed for all to see."Thank you, Ms. Ford. Thank you…"Celina kept thanking her. Her eyes were swollen beyond recognition, but the corners of her mouth had curved into a faint smile.Having lived with the pain and suffering for numerous years now, it was impossible for her to immediately get over it. But now, she felt an unprecedented sense of calm,

"Glaring at me won't do you any good. What you should be focusing on right now is figuring out how you can get Tyler out of police custody, no?" Kiara said.She did her best to suppress her glee at his predicament, but she couldn't stop her lips from curving upward.Naturally, Martha noticed that.She was already fretting over the situation. The fact that Kiara was smiling about it infuriated her so much that she slapped Kiara in the face.Kiara's face whipped to the side. It was stinging painfully, but her gaze remained impassive. It wasn't the first slap she'd gotten today anyway.Besides, she knew full well that both Martha and Tyler were suffering way more than she was. Once she remembered that, her own pain seemed to ease up."You little bitch! Ty has done so much for you, yet you're celebrating his downfall? Sure, even though you had nothing to do with the problematic raw materials, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation in the first place if it hadn't been for you!"

"Cloudcrest wants me to leave the troupe, but I don't want to. Not only am I not leaving, but they must also give me the chance to perform on stage, as promised," Kiara declared.After a pause, she added, "Mr. Thorn, don't forget that this is what you owe me for the miscarriage. Please. I don't want anything else. I just want the chance to perform on stage!"She proceeded to wait nervously for Jonathan's reply.Jonathan was lying in his hospital bed, watching a replay of the live stream of Grover Group's product launch. He sneered at the sight of Tyler's panicked expression.It certainly served Tyler right—the nerve of him to act like a devoted lover after being the biggest scumbag. Thankfully, Stephanie hadn't lost her rationality and didn't fall for his tricks.When the message notification popped up on his phone, he tapped on it without much thought.He frowned as he read Kiara's message, grumbling to himself about how much of a pest she was. Since he'd ignored her calls, she

With a smile on her face, Stephanie turned to look at Adrian. He leaned down and lightly kissed her forehead."I should've been here by your side sooner." There was unmistakable remorse in his eyes.She laughed. "Why are you saying this again, you dummy? How many times have I told you that being here now isn't too late?"But the remorse seemed to linger in Adrian's eyes. Seeing it, she thought for a moment before pinching his cheek with quite a bit of force."So, explain to me why you didn't come find me sooner!" Stephanie demanded as she deliberately put on a fierce expression. "I need to teach you a lesson you'll never forget."With that, she bit his neck.Adrian inhaled sharply at the pain, but his hands remained wrapped around her.After letting go, Stephanie eyed the bite mark on his neck in satisfaction. "There. You've been punished."Adrian knew she was trying to make him stop feeling bad about the past. Something seemed ready to burst from his chest. He didn't know what

The anonymous user made a very long post to explain what had happened back then."Celina was an incredibly nice person. Back then, if anyone asked her for help with their studies, she would always patiently answer all their questions and explain everything. All of our teachers said she'd have a bright future ahead of her. Unfortunately, being such an outstanding person made her Kiara's target."How badly did Kiara bully her? Well, even as a bystander, I got nightmares from the incident, too, and they lasted for several nights. Even after all these years, I vividly remember it all. My hands still shake at the thought of it."You guys saw the video, right? It was awful, yeah? But compared to what Celina went through back then, that was just the tip of the iceberg. Celina came from an ordinary family, while Kiara had the Grovers backing her up. Therefore, no one was able to help Celina back then. Her parents wanted to transfer her to another school, but their attempts failed because of
