All Chapters of His Childhood Sweetheart Called My Dying An Act: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"What are you doing? It's just a joke. Do you have to expose it to the paparazzi?"Ian Broker snatched my phone away. After failing to unlock it, he smashed it without hesitation.At that moment, I felt a crushing tightness in my chest, struggling to breathe as my vision dimmed.Clutching my chest, I collapsed to my knees and begged him in desperation."No, Ian. I really suffer from arrhythmia. Call the ambulance for me!"At long last, Ian noticed something was off with me. His brows puckered up.The next second, Zoey Berg yanked him aside and slammed her glass against the table, the sharp clang cutting through the air. "Daisy Graham, this is really low of you. Ian came here today to celebrate my promotion. Do you have to ruin it out of jealousy? And you call yourself a celebrity? Instead of using your acting where it matters, you pull these underhanded tricks."Breathing became increasingly difficult. My chest felt like it was weighed down, and I couldn't get enough air.Ian

Zoey thrust the sharp end of the broken glass toward my neck. My heart lurched.It was obvious she was doing this on purpose.Without hesitation, I grabbed her hand and twisted away, dodging left and right to evade her.Our commotion caught Ian's attention.Just as they were about to turn to look at us, Zoey grabbed the shattered wine glass and an empty wine bottle from the table, then swung them at my head.The jagged shard sliced across my face, tearing skin and flesh."Ow!" I cried out in horror as the pain shot from my face through my entire body."Daisy Graham, are you nuts? Pretending to be ill didn't work on Ian, so now you're smashing a bottle over your head?"As expected, Ian's temper flared.He pushed through the crowd and hurried over, only for his eyes to widen when he saw my face smeared with blood. "D-Daisy, I'll take you to the hospital!"Without hesitation, he grabbed his car keys from the table, his expression turning grave.Zoey quickly stopped him.Sh

The only thing that remained were the scars on my face.While I was applying ointment to my face, the butler, Bert Smith, walked in with a troubled expression. "Ms. Graham, Ian's here again."I recalled how he ruthlessly smashed my phone when I tried to ask for help and ignored my pleas for help.I couldn't keep down the hatred any longer."Let him in."When Ian was brought into my house, he was visibly shocked by how luxurious the interior was.To put it bluntly, even the white marble tile beneath his feet was a level of luxury he would never come close to in his lifetime. When Bert brought him to me, his eyes couldn't help but wander to the gilded ceiling above."Daisy, are you okay? I really didn't know what happened that day. If you were ill, you should've told me. Then this misunderstanding never would've happened."When I stayed silent, his gaze moved from the marble walls of my home back to me. He took in the scars on my face, his expression heavy with guilt. "Your

Back when Penny's twin sister, Zoey, graduated from medical school and secured a job at a hospital under Graham Group, her monthly salary was higher than Penny's annual salary.A seed of jealousy took root in Penny's heart, slowly growing until it began to consume her. Finally, some time ago, Penny killed her twin sister and assumed the latter's identity, continuing life under the name Zoey Berg.Before every major surgery, she would spend the night repeatedly reviewing Zoey's notebooks and past surgical recordings until she had memorized every detail. Fortunately, she was quick-witted enough to imitate them closely, and every surgery went through without any major mistakes. Ian made his way home in a haze, only to be verbally torn apart by everyone he passed along the way. The one person responsible for everything was Penny!He burned with hatred, almost losing his mind.Without hesitation, he headed straight for the police station across the street and laid everything out

I didn't think much about it since Ian's matters no longer concerned me.That weekend, I was supposed to go for a hospital checkup, but my driver called to say he couldn't come pick me up as his house had caught fire.I was in a hurry, so I didn't think much about it and drove there myself.Halfway there, I finally noticed something was wrong. There was no signal in the car!At the same time, a car came speeding straight toward me. I immediately spotted Penny in the driver's seat."Daisy, I know you're the one who ruined me. You must die!"Her crazed and vicious expression sent a deep unease creeping into me.Instead of going after Ian, just like I predicted, Penny had targeted me.I quickly swung the car around and changed lanes, but Penny stayed right on my tail.Soon, I realized that the situation wasn't in my favor. Penny's car had been modified, so a regular car like mine couldn't shake her off.In a panic, I floored the gas and barely managed to put some distance betw
