Chapter 1

I couldn't help but laugh in anger as I looked at the long post on my phone.I never thought that after breaking up with Marcus for three years, his current girlfriend would still be stalking me.I was not planning to respond, but my account blew up before long. Private messages from strangers all over the country started coming in.[Playing dead? You think staying quiet will solve anything? Marcus may be soft-hearted, but we aren't pushovers.][You liked that post because you wanted to imply he was terrible in relationships, didn't you? Stop playing innocent after doing that! Marcus is so upset he can't sleep, and this is all your fault! If you don't delete the post and apologize, we'll contact a lawyer and sue you for ruining his reputation!][You manipulative witch! I heard you're about to get engaged? Does a backstabbing witch like you deserve happiness? I hope you get dumped in public on your wedding day! That would suit your true nature!]My hands went ice-cold, and I was s

I could feel the anger building inside of me as I stood up from the couch. "How can she be this shameless?!"I then told Ashford the entire story. He listened quietly, his expression growing darker, but his eyes on me stayed gentle and steady. "Don't worry. Leave it to me."He was a well-known lawyer who specialized in defamation and tort law. He had seen cases a hundred times worse than this, and he was good at weaponizing evidence and law.While I was washing up, he took the opportunity to save screenshots of every private message, edited photo, and harassment, all with clear timestamps and account IDs. Together, they formed an airtight chain of evidence.After that, he stayed up all night organizing the lawsuit materials and writing the police report. The logic was clear, and every point was laid out neatly…-Early next morning, we took all the evidence to the police station.Ashford's professional statement and fully recorded evidence made the police take the case seriousl

Before I could reply, HR sent me a message telling me to come to the conference room.The moment I walked in, I saw the HR manager and the Assistant CEO sitting across from me, both having grim expressions plastered on their faces."Ms. Jones, public relations flagged some negative public sentiment about you this morning." The manager then pushed a tablet toward me. On the screen was the trending topic, #ViciousEx#.The manager continued, "After careful consideration, senior management has decided to suspend you for now. Once this storm passes, we will...""On what grounds?" I stood up. "This is slander! I've already reported this to the police!"The vice CEO rubbed his brow wearily. "The company understands your situation, but you are the brand director. You represent the company's image. Now that public opinion has escalated, it has already affected our product's reputation and sales. We have to consider the bigger picture, and we hope you can understand and cooperate.""Your i

I made arrangements to meet Marcus at a cafe.However, his face tightened the moment he saw Ashford beside me. "He... Who is he?"Before I could answer, Ashford stepped forward and slipped an arm around my shoulders. "Mr. Gibson, I assume? I'm Ashford White, Zoey's fiancé. I came with her today so we can clear up everything."Marcus's eyes lingered on Ashford's hand for a moment before he looked away. "Zoey, I didn't know things would turn out like this."His voice sounded dry. "I was just drunk that day, and I complained to Rachel about you liking that post. I didn't expect her to go that far…"Marcus sounded sincere, but one couldn't miss the prejudice in his words. "Rachel was only being a little too impulsive. But fighting her head-on won't do anyone any good. I know you never cheated on me, but her career is just starting to take off... Can you… Can you just admit to it? I'll pay you whatever you want for emotional damages!"I almost chuckled from the ridiculousness.Rather

Chapter 5

On the day of the trial, Rachel and Marcus were surrounded by their fans the moment they arrived at the courthouse.Rachel was wearing a white dress, dressed like some fragile, innocent victim as she comforted her fans. "Don't worry, everyone. The internet is not a lawless land. Today, I will seek justice for myself and for everyone who has suffered what I suffered!"The cries outside rose in waves, mixed with the occasional insult being hurled at me.If the police had not stopped them, I had no doubt those people would have rushed in and torn me apart on the spot.As soon as I stepped into the lobby, Rachel held Marcus's arm and blocked me with perfect precision, her voice sweet. "Oh, Zoey, you're alone? Where's your attorney husband? Did he hide because he knew you were bound to lose?"She looked around and feigned surprise. "Oh, I forgot! He has to avoid a conflict of interest!"The attorney beside Rachel also spoke, his tone condescending. "You're Ms. Jones, correct? Admit yo

Chapter 6

I was surprised, too. I did not expect the person Ashford invited to be my attorney to be the opposing attorney's mentor.Peter did not even look at him as he sat down beside me and gave a cold snort. "I don't have to report my work plan to someone who forgets loyalty the moment profit is involved! And from now on, you're no longer my student."Ken's facial expression turned from pale to flushed as he sank back into his seat uneasily.Rachel was stunned, too. She tugged at Ken's suit, her voice anxious. "I paid you more than ten times the market rate. Even if the other side is your mentor, you still have to win this case for me. Otherwise, you're going to lose everything for compensation."Peter ignored the commotion across from us. He turned his head slightly, his tone gentle. "Don't worry, Ms. Jones. I've read all the materials. I came to court today to clean the house!"His voice was clear, and by the time it reached the three people across from us, it sounded like a sharp slap

Chapter 7

"Marcus! How could you?!" Rachel suddenly stood to her feet, trembling with rage.She no longer cared about courtroom etiquette or her act. She grabbed the documents on the table and slammed them hard into Marcus beside her. "You actually went to see her behind my back?! Didn't you say you had already outgrown her? What am I to you?! Didn't I do all of this for you?!"The documents hit Marcus despite him dodging awkwardly, his face turning pale as he tried to grab her wrist and stop her. "Rachel, calm down! We're in court! Stop talking!""Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?!" Rachel broke down crying. "I did so much for you! I stood up for you and risked my entire reputation just to make you let go of that witch completely! Do you know how much it hurt every time you mentioned her to me over the past three years?!"Marcus, I've been by your side for more than a decade! You always treated me as a friend, but you knew I liked you! I've liked you for twelve years! You knew all

Chapter 8

This time, Rachel's face went completely pale.Her lips trembled, and the pitiful look she had worn in the livestream was long gone. Only panic remained. Before she was escorted into the police car, she still tried to reach out toward Marcus. "Marcus! Save me! I did all of this for you!"But Marcus had already disappeared into the crowd.I stood at the courthouse entrance and quietly watched it all happen, then turned to Ashford beside me. "You did this, too?"Ashford shrugged, his expression innocent. "This has always been how their circle works. There's only so much space one can expand into. Once they get a chance, they won't wait to tear their rivals apart so they can climb even higher. Rachel just didn't cover her own tracks well enough."As soon as Ashford finished speaking, Peter's hearty laugh sounded behind us. "At least you care about your own reputation. If you were my student back then, I would not have nearly lost my reputation in old age because of that useless stude

Chapter 9

[Marcus's POV]I shut myself in my room and pulled the curtains closed so tightly that not a ray of light could get in.News alerts appeared on my phone screen. Every headline about Rachel and Zoey was glaring.I did not understand how things had turned out like this. I had only treated Rachel like one of my friends, and Zoey as my girlfriend.No, she was my ex-girlfriend now.I had lost. I had lost the lawsuit, lost my reputation, and even lost the last shred of confidence I had used to lie to myself.The room was dark, but I could still see the way Zoey had looked at me that day at the cafe. It was pure disgust, as if she had seen straight through my hypocrisy and ugliness.Zoey had a new lover already.I had known that since the first year after our breakup.Why had she moved on from our relationship so quickly, while she left me stuck in place?It was not fair!Every day, I stalked Zoey and her new life.When I saw her eating, shopping, and going on dates with Ashford,
