Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Lifesaving Mess: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

“Miss Stevens, my sister lost a massive amount of blood after her car accident. If it weren’t for your lifesaving donation, she wouldn’t have survived. Here is a small token of my gratitude. Please accept them.”The wealthy heir, Elijah Foster, gave a subtle look to the assistant beside him. Immediately, the assistant stepped forward, holding out the deed to a luxury mansion and the keys to a high-end sports car.People in the office instantly erupted in shock.“That villa is in Bluewater Bay, isn’t it? I heard one of those costs over thirty million dollars!”“And that car is a limited-edition Porsche Cayenne! It’s the rich people’s favorite toy. How did Sadie get this lucky?”Among the crowd, only Cassie Bennett kept her head lowered in silence, her expression dark and unreadable.Just as I reached out to accept the gifts, she suddenly rushed forward and slapped my hand away.“Sadie, if you do a good deed, you shouldn’t expect anything in return. It’s fine to accept gratitude,

“Never judge a book by its cover. Having a coworker like her is seriously the biggest stain on my life.”I ignored everyone’s mocking comments and simply smiled as I escorted Elijah and his group out. After everything I went through in my previous life, words like these meant nothing to me anymore.After that, I took a day off work and went to handle the paperwork for the house transfer and pick up the car. By the time everything was done, it was already evening. So, I drove back to the apartment I once shared with Cole, planning to pack my things and move out for good; this time, I was completely done with him. The moment I opened the door, I saw Cassie and Cole sitting closely together on the couch, looking disgustingly affectionate. Cassie was smiling sweetly as she fed him grapes, their eyes filled with affection. Yet, in my past life, I had been too blind to notice any of it. They had fooled me completely, toyed with me behind my back, and eventually even caused my death. Thin

I glared at Cole and Cassie. No wonder they had been unusually quiet over the past few days. As it turned out, they had been waiting for this moment.“Mrs. Foster, don’t listen to their nonsense. They’re slandering me…” I tried to explain.However, before I could finish, Cassie flung a stack of photos in front of us.“You’ve been caught red-handed. What else do you have to say?”The moment I saw the photos, my eyes widened in shock. In the pictures, a man and a woman standing intimately close were clearly Elijah and me, and behind us was my luxury car.Instantly, everyone turned to look at me with disdain.“Tsk. So that’s why Mr. Foster gave her a car and a house. It’s because Sadie has that kind of relationship with him.”“Homewreckers like her deserve to die!”Seeing the photos, Mrs. Foster burned with rage. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain before she grabbed my hair tightly, pulling so hard it felt like she was ripping my scalp off. She dragged me out onto the str

“Also, think about it. If Sadie really did something so horrible, why would I, as her boyfriend, side with an ordinary coworker like Cassie instead of her?”Under the twisted narrative of Cassie and Cole, Mrs. Foster fell into deep thought, and the surrounding crowd began to waver.“That does make sense. So maybe Sadie isn’t as innocent as she looks…”Seeing the public opinion start to shift in their favor, Cassie and Cole exchanged smug smiles again.I, too, laughed and said, “Cole, stop twisting facts and changing the narrative here. Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been seeing Cassie behind my back. We were together for five years, but you’ve been secretly dating her for three. So, of course, you’d side with her. If anything, that just proves your motive to frame me is far stronger than mine!”The crowd was shocked.“I always thought Cole was a loyal, pure-hearted boyfriend. I didn’t expect him to be a cheater.”“He, Sadie, and Cassie joined the company three years ago. So, do

Turning around, I glanced at Cassie.“Cassie, I have a clear conscience. I’m not afraid of a verification test, but are you?”Cassie and Cole exchanged a look, looking guilty. Seeing that they were hesitant to speak, the crowd around them grew suspicious.“This is the perfect chance to prove your innocence. Why are you hesitating? You’re not actually guilty, are you?”Under the pressure of everyone’s suspicion, Cassie and Cole had no choice but to agree to the verification. Soon, the results came out. As expected, the surveillance footage I provided was real with no signs of manipulation. However, their photos were confirmed to be digitally altered.The crowd erupted into discussion once again. Cassie glared at me before deliberately fanning the flames in front of Mrs. Foster.She said, “Even if the photos were edited, that doesn’t prove Sadie and Mr. Foster are innocent. Mrs. Foster, think about it. If there was really nothing between them, why would Mr. Foster give her such exp
