She Stole My Crown: My Best Friend, My Worst Enemy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

It was pouring heavily in Jovania on the day I finished my postpartum treatment. Hazel had showed up at my door, soaked from head to toe. She was kneeling on the ground, begging me to take her in.She said her parents were going to sell her to a fool from their village for a bride price of 200 thousand dollars. She said only I could save her, and that she did not care even if she had to work as a nanny in my home.Hazel had been my best friend. How could I watch her sacrifice herself to a miserable life?So, I let her stay. I even paid her parents two million dollars to settle the matter. Since she had studied medicine, I asked her to help me recover and regain my health.My husband, Richard Hudson, traveled a lot for work. So, having Hazel around truly lifted my spirits. I never actually made her work as a nanny. Instead, I gave her a bank card and told her she could spend it however she liked.Gradually, things started to feel off.The household staff stopped listening to my or

It seemed the employee wanted to show off in front of Hazel. She glanced at her, then stepped forward to grab me."Ms. Moore's just doing this to spare you the embarrassment. She didn't call you a nanny and even treats you like a best friend. Now, get off the chair and help her out!" she barked.A crisp smack echoed in the air. I slapped her across the face with the back of my hand."How dare you hit me!""Oh, I'll do more than hit you. I'm firing you," I said.Seeing that I was serious, Richard hurried over. He said with a fake, comforting tone, "Linda is a senior employee. How can you fire her over something so trivial? Why don't you go home and cool off?"So, an employee insulting the CEO was considered trivial."Max, please, don't make it any harder for me, alright?" Hazel pleaded, tugging at my arm.She then turned to the employee. "Linda, I know you're worried about me, but you can't talk to Max like that. She's sick and can't handle this kind of provocation. Don't do it

The leading doctor rushed in and immediately pulled me behind him. He was the Moores' former family doctor and Dad's closest friend, Anthony Lane.Hazel clearly hadn't expected uninvited guests. She hurriedly explained, "Max is very sick and requires immediate hospitalization. Don't delay her treatment!"Richard chimed in, puffing himself up. "Exactly. Who sent you guys here? If you delay my wife's treatment, I'll sue you all for trespassing!"Anthony shot them a cold look. "We're from Harmony Hospital. I'm Dr. Lane, and I'll determine whether she's actually sick or not."The results came quickly. I was indeed sick, but not mentally. My body showed excessive levels of heavy metals, evidence of chronic poisoning."That's impossible!" Hazel shouted, eyes widened. However, she quickly put on her facade. "Max was perfectly fine. How could she be suffering from chronic poisoning? I don't believe it. We need our doctor to check."She turned to me. "Max, tell them. Do you trust him or u

After finishing up company matters, I lay on my bed, scrolling through my phone. It looked like Richard had transferred a lot of my money for his personal use. Even after I fired him, he still had enough to buy Hazel a million-dollar handbag to keep her happy.Her photos on social media showed her grinning from ear to ear. It didn't matter, though. Once I gathered all the evidence, none of them would get away.I sent the drugs they had made me take for testing. Sure enough, something was wrong with them. If only I could record a video of them admitting it themselves…Suddenly, Richard was at the door, hammering the doorbell. He was sobbing and begging me to forgive him. "Max, listen! I didn't know what Hazel was doing! Please, just hear me out! Miles is too young to live without his daddy! I swear I love you, Max!"I opened the door and let him in. He immediately dropped to his knees, crying as he grabbed my leg. "Honey, I only went on a few business trips with her. You have to bel

I had thought no one would believe something so ridiculous, but I was wrong.Since Richard lost his job, he had been streaming every day, always choosing late-night slots when the audience reach was the highest. Holding a bottle of alcohol, tipsy and teary-eyed, he would pour his heart out, begging me to listen to his explanations."My wife and I have been together for over a decade. She's not that kind of person. I just need to give her time to calm down… She has a mental condition. I thought she really wanted to transfer her shares, that's why I agreed to the press conference."Turns out, this
