All Chapters of Cut the Saint, Keep the Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It was June, early summer, yet the heat was already sweltering, the sun beating down and baking the earth beneath us.There wasn't even a slight breeze in the air, and the stifling heat felt like we were all living in an oven."Apologize to him, Vi."My older sister, Scarlet Dawson, yanked hard on my injured arm, causing a sharp, stabbing pain to shoot through my entire arm.I clenched my fists and felt extremely frustrated."Why should I? I was riding my bike on the road when he bumped into me all of a sudden! He hit me first!" I protested.Scarlet frowned, and her voice turned harsh. "How many times have I told you, Violet Dawson, that you must always be a good person and be kind to other people, no matter what?"It doesn't matter who was at fault. You must apologize to this man first!"Scarlet had always been like this since we were children.It didn't matter whether I was right or wrong; she would always make me apologize first. She thought that this was the only way to sh

Uncle Adrian's face darkened, thunder rolling across his expression."You…"Hazel was taken aback by the sudden wickedness in my expression. Her voice shook as she said, "Dad, you can't go to jail. I'll never be able to hold my head up in front of my classmates again after that."I said, "It's fine if you don't want to move out. You can purchase this villa instead. Based on the current market value, this villa should be worth about ten million dollars."Aunt Katie immediately flew into a rage. "Ten million dollars? Why don't you just go rob a bank instead?" she exclaimed.I grinned and said, "Don't be hasty, Aunt Katie. Since we're family, I'll give you a 50% discount and sell it to you for just five million dollars."You can transfer the amount to this bank card. If I don't see five million dollars before 8:00 pm tomorrow, I'll go to the police station to make a report then."It was just five million dollars. Given Uncle Adrian's current financial situation, he could definitely

Scarlet had only gotten together with Marcus two months ago, but he had already repeatedly used his busy work schedule as an excuse to make Scarlet take care of his mother, Anne Jenkins, and pick up his sister, Mabel Crosby, from school.I had tried countless times to talk sense into Scarlet, telling her that Marcus wasn't right for her. Each time, though, she accused me of being rude, insisting that Marcus only asked her to do these things because he loved her."Alright, then. I'll go now," Scarlet said at once without hesitation, despite the heat being unbearable that day. After hanging up, she began packing up her things and prepared to head out.I walked right past her, no longer wanting to get involved in her business.I scrolled through a few housing listings on my phone, searching for a place to escape the first wave of extreme heat.Knowing Scarlet's savior complex, I didn't know what the resources in our home would look like by the end of the apocalypse. I had to be prepa

I heard the three men cursing under their breaths and snorted coldly. I was going to get them before they could even lay a finger on me!As soon as they emerged from the restroom, I tugged on a patrolling police officer's sleeve and got in their way, saying, "Officer, they stole my sister's gold bracelet."The men got the fright of their lives when they saw the policeman standing in front of them and immediately tried to flee. However, there was no way that the well-trained police officers would let them off that easily!The three men were then brought in for questioning. The police also found Scarlet's gold bracelet in one of their pockets.Greed had always gotten humanity into trouble in the past, and they were no exception this time.After checking the three men's identities, the police officers immediately discovered something suspicious. They were using fake IDs after all! After that, the police were even more shocked to realize that these were the three fugitives they had be

A handsome young man and a teenage girl, chewing gum with a look of disdain, followed the old woman into the house.They were none other than Anne, Marcus, and Mabel.Anne then slammed the door in the others' faces, grabbed Scarlet's hand, and asked, "Lettie, how could you be so wasteful? This isn't the time to be giving your things away for free!"You're still too young to understand things. You don't have to worry about any of these household matters anymore. I'll help you take care of the supplies instead."I was speechless when I heard that. In other words, Anne was just planning to take over our supplies with a few measly words.Mabel strode into the house as if it were her own and began criticizing everything. "Your house is too small and dirty, Lettie. All of my friends have huge mansions with massive basements full of supplies and resources."She then opened the door to my room. She then folded her arms across her chest, looking completely disgusted. "This bedroom might b
