All Chapters of She Regretted Stealing My Insulin: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Selene hesitated when she saw how flushed my face had become. She crouched down and tried to lift me up. "Is it really that bad?"I was about to answer when Adrian suddenly burst into loud, theatrical sobs.He looked at me as if I had committed some unforgivable crime. "Julian, how could you do this? I bought those imported premium energy bars for you because you're Selene's boyfriend. They're packed with nutrients and marketed as super healthy."His voice cracked as he went on. "How could they possibly make you react like this?"His eyes grew red, his tone wobbling with every word. "Are you trying to frame me? Make it look like I hurt you on purpose? I know you don't like me, but you can't go after me like this."Then, he turned to Selene with shimmering eyes. "Selene, we've known each other for years. You of all people should know what kind of person I am. You said it yourself that you treat me like family and that, besides your parents, no one comes before me. "So, today you

Hope flared in my chest again. I forced my hand up, reaching for him. "Give it to me… Please…"But just as my fingertips were about to brush the injector, Adrian flicked his wrist and pulled it out of reach with effortless cruelty.A crooked grin tugged at his mouth. He shot a look at the pink-haired girl beside him.She caught on instantly.

All I could do was drag myself forward on instinct."Holy crap, he's actually crawling!""Hurry, record it! This pose is insane!"The excited jeers of the crowd and the sharp clicks of their phone cameras buzzed in my ears.Humiliation swallowed me whole.I could feel Selene's expres

"Adrian, you vile piece of trash! You're the one who kept whispering in my ear day after day, telling me Julian was a narcissist, a cheater, that he'd dump me sooner or later. You were jealous of him, so you came up with this disgusting plan!"Blood trailed down the corner of Adrian's mouth, and something in him snapped. He lunged forward and clawed at Selene's face."Jealous? Did you forget what you said to me in bed? You said Julian was a boring block of wood with zero spark, that the two of you had nothing in common. You told me I was the only one who made you feel relaxed and made things exciting."They tore into each other, exposing every filthy secret between them in broad daylight.My mother and I watched the spectacle with cold detachment, not a flicker of emotion between us. It was nothing more than two scumbags tearing at each other.Finally, my mother lifted a hand toward her assistant, Evan. "Shut them up. They're too loud."The bodyguards slapped tape across both S

The man in the mirror looked back at me with clear, steady eyes.I started learning to manage the company under my mother's guidance, beginning with the most basic projects.My mother seemed determined to train me. She gave me real authority, but also subjected me to the harshest tests.I soaked up everything like a sponge, never feeling tired for a second. It was because I knew that only by becoming stronger could I protect myself and the people I loved.…A year later, I earned my place in the company with a successful international acquisition deal. No one dared look down on me because of my age. I became the decisive and unstoppable Mr. Mercer that everyone talked about.Every now and then, I heard bits of news about Selene and Adrian from Evan.Rumor had it they weren't doing well in prison. Once close friends, they had become sworn enemies, brawling every time they saw each other, both
