Chapter 1

I finished plating the last dish and brought it to the table. I had just helped Sarah Paulson, Shane Seridan's mother, over and gotten her seated when Shane walked out of the bedroom with his girlfriend, Lydia Forestwood, wrapped in his arms.Seeing the table full of delicious food, he casually remarked, "I didn't think you'd actually be this capable."At those words, Lydia's expression darkened. She slammed her fork down on the table with a sharp clang, her tone displeased. "Are we eating or not? You talk too much nonsense!"This sudden outburst startled both Sarah and me.Shane immediately started fawning over her shamelessly. "Babe, I was wrong. I shouldn't have praised Joanna. When it comes to being capable, that's obviously you. You can go all night without a break. She can't even compare to you."The comment made me deeply uncomfortable. It was textbook manipulation—praising one person while stepping on another, laced with inappropriate sexual innuendo.The worst part w

Shane grinned. "Lydia, see? I told you I'm popular. You'd better keep a close eye on me, or someone might actually steal me away. Then you'll regret it."He wasn't only incapable of reading the room, but he was also insufferably narcissistic. Faced with someone this shameless, I was truly at a loss for what to do.I picked up the plate of garlic butter shrimp and moved to dump it in the trash. "You two really are perfect for each other. You're both equally unreasonable and irrational. Since you don't know how to respect the work I put in, then don't bother eating it."Sarah chased after me into the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed my hand, pleading in a low voice, "Jo, don't be upset. Lydia's young and doesn't know any better. We should be the bigger people here and not stoop to her level. I'll have Shane talk to her later."This is Lydia's first time visiting, and Shane finally has a girlfriend. Please, just bear with it for my sake. The shrimp you made is delicious. Don't throw it a

On the way home, Shane kept sending me messages saying I was being petty, that I was jealous of his girlfriend, and demanding I apologize to both of them.I texted back, "Shane, from now on, our families should stop associating with each other. That way, your girlfriend won't get jealous and lose her mind."After I told my parents what happened, they also decided to cut ties with his family. However, the next day, Sarah suddenly showed up at our door carrying gifts.The moment I opened the door, she dropped to her knees."Jo, I'm so sorry about yesterday. I failed to raise my son properly. I brought him here today to apologize to you.""Please don't do this." I quickly helped her to her feet. No matter how angry I was, I couldn't accept an elder kneeling before me.Seeing me soften, Sarah immediately grabbed Shane from behind her and scolded him sharply. "You brat! Jo has treated you like a little brother since you were kids, yet you caused conflict with her over some other wom

The ambulance arrived. Shane was so panicked he'd lost all sense of direction, clinging to Lydia and barely able to form coherent words.I had no choice but to accompany Sarah to the hospital as a friend. After a round of emergency treatment, she was finally out of danger and transferred to the ICU.During all of this, Shane never showed up once. I was the one running around handling the payment and admission paperwork.My parents called Shane an animal, said he couldn't even take care of his own mother, and told me to stop getting involved too. But I figured after being neighbors for over 20 years, I'd help out this one last time and then be done with it.Once Sarah was moved to a regular ward, I contacted Shane to pay the bills. He agreed over the phone.I'd just returned to the hallway outside the ward when a swarm of media reporters suddenly appeared. They surrounded me at the door, shoving me and demanding answers."What kind of grudge do you have that would make you stab

Shane rolled around on the floor, screaming for his mother.Sarah was both anxious and heartbroken. She scrambled down from the hospital bed and threw herself over her son, wailing and cursing, "You bastard! What gives you the right to hit my son? I'm calling the cops!"Lydia also let out a shrill scream. "Yeah! Who the hell are you? How can you just hit people for no reason?"The commotion attracted many patients and family members who came running to watch.Something cunning flickered in Lydia's eyes. She turned to ask the media reporters, "You're live streaming right now, aren't you?"The man with glasses leading the group was the same one who'd kicked me into the ward earlier. He nodded vigorously, a barely noticeable smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.Lydia immediately caught on. She completely ignored Shane, who was still lying on the ground, and immediately switched to playing the victim."Everyone, look! This fake bitch somehow got a bunch of male thugs to fight f

Chapter 6

Luther clenched his fists, forcing down his rage with visible effort. "The evidence you want will be here any second. Right now, my fiancee is coughing up blood. If she doesn't get immediate medical attention, she could die."His chest felt tight and painful.Today was supposed to be his day off. He had come out to visit a discharged veteran friend who was sick, only to stumble into this scene of his fiancee being framed.Luther had served his country with distinction and earned countless honors, yet he couldn't even protect the woman he loved in time. How ironic."If you don't move aside right now, you're all accessories to this injustice," Luther muttered.His emotions were running dangerously high, as if he might explode at any second. I quickly pressed my hand against him, signaling for him to put me down.Then I faced the crowd and cameras, explaining word by word, "First, I never tried to seduce Lydia's boyfriend. That's completely her own delusion. My fiance is way more ha

Luther glanced at the flood of vulgar insults in the livestream and raised his voice. "Over here. Point it at the camera and let them see. Turn the volume up all the way."His friend immediately complied."Joanna, I never imagined Lydia could be so unreasonable. She actually stabbed me with a knife. I'm so worried about Shane being with someone like her."If I don't make it through this, you have to take care of Shane like you always have, like he's your little brother. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace."This was what Sarah kept telling me in the ambulance, drenched in sweat from the pain, gripping my hand tightly.Because of that, after she was out of danger, I'd taken care of her wholeheartedly in hopes that she'd recover quickly. She'd lost her husband young and raised Shane alone. That couldn't have been easy on her.I never imagined that in the time it took me to go home and make her soup, she'd turn on me completely.After the ambulance video finished playing,

Just then, the young guy clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "Luther, we found the deleted footage in the cloud backup!"He handed over my phone. Luther's expression turned serious as he took it. Without a word, he opened the video and turned the volume all the way up.The camera at my house was positioned to cover the kitchen and living room.At first, the frame showed an empty room with only audio. You could hear the Sheridans at the door apologizing, then entering to eat at the dining table.Then came the frantic pounding on the door, Shane scrambling to open it in a panic, and Lydia bursting in to hurl abuse at me. Finally, it showed her charging into the kitchen to grab a knife.She tried to stab me but ended up stabbing Sarah instead. The entire sequence was captured.During the playback, the scene fell dead silent. The moment it ended, angry shouting erupted immediately.I locked eyes with Lydia and enunciated each word carefully. "If you still think the video is

Chapter 9

According to Luther's friends, after we left, the Sheridans went completely insane and attacked Lydia. The police couldn't even hold them back. They called her a plague, screaming that she'd ruined both their lives.By the time Lydia was finally taken away, her face was covered in blood. Even in that state, the onlookers spat at her and hurled every vile insult imaginable.Hearing all this didn't bring me any joy, despite having cleared my name and gotten my revenge. I only felt disgust at the ugliness of human nature.Technically, Lydia and I had no real history with each other. If she didn't like me, she could have simply avoided me. There was no need to target me at every turn. She got exactly what she deserved.As for the Sheridans, I could never forgive them for as long as I lived. Backstabbers were the worst kind of people anyway.When my parents heard about everything, they cut their vacation short in fury and flew back overnight. They arrived just as Sarah, dragging her in
