Chapter 1

"Who on earth are you calling?" Marvin Cooper snapped. "A helicopter? Seriously, Hannah Huston. Have you been reading too many trashy romance novels that they've fried your brain?"Marvin stared at me coldly, his lips curling into a deeply mocking sneer. As he flicked his custom lighter open and shut, the sharp metallic click sounded harsh in the spacious living room.Alyssa hid behind him and covered her mouth in a sweet, delicate giggle. "Don't talk about Hannah like that, Marvin. She's probably just scared. Taking the fall means spending years in prison, after all."She grew up in an orphanage and hasn't seen much of the world, so, understandably, she's fantasizing about a romance story with some billionaire CEO."Though her voice was soft and gentle, her words were as poisonous and sharp as venom-coated needles.Clutching the phone, now with a completely black screen, I shot a cold stare at the despicable pair standing before me."I'm not joking, Marvin. I'm not signing that

Chapter 2

"Hannah, you really don't know what's good for you, do you?" Marvin sneered. "Do you honestly think you can survive out there after walking out that door?"He let out a cold laugh, pulled his phone from his pocket, and dialed his assistant's number."Cancel all of Hannah's supplementary cards. And spread the word—anyone who dares give her a job is making an enemy out of me, Marvin Cooper!"After hanging up, he looked at me like I was nothing more than trash."I'd like to see how long you can keep up this tough act. Without me, you're nothing but a loser who'll be digging through trash for scraps of food to survive."I calmly watched him throw his tantrum."Go ahead and cancel whatever cards you want. It's not like I've ever spent much of your money anyway," I shot back.Just as I turned toward the door and reached for the doorknob, Marvin roared, "Stop right there!"My money paid for every piece of clothing you're wearing and that bag in your hand! If you're walking out, you're

"Who the hell do you think you are? What makes you think you can fight me for Marvin?" Alyssa snarled. "I'm telling you—Marvin has only ever loved me. You're nothing but a dog he keeps around, a walking blood bank he can discard whenever he wants!"She slapped me hard across the face, and a burning pain exploded across my cheeks. I bit on my lip so hard I could even taste blood."Don't get ahead of yourself, Alyssa," I said. "You caused that car crash, and though Marvin might have destroyed the security footage, no one can escape justice forever. You'll never get away with it."Alyssa burst into hysterical laughter like I had just said the most ridiculous thing in the world. "Justice? In Ashwood, Marvin is justice! He's erased every single piece of evidence, so right now, all the clues point to you."She leaned close to my ear, her voice dropping to a venomous whisper. "You only have two options right now, Hannah. Either you obediently take the blame, and Marvin might actually let

"Even if Hannah dies, then so be it," Marvin said indifferently.I stared at him. This was the face of the man I had once been hopelessly in love with, the same face that now filled me with absolute disgust."Do you really have to go this far, Marvin?" I asked. "This far?"Like he had just heard a joke, Marvin grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the table and poured it over my head. The icy liquor ran down my hair, stinging the cuts on my face."You call this going too far? You've disgusted me for three years, Hannah. This is just the interest!"He smashed the empty bottle onto the floor and sent glass shards flying in every direction."Let me tell you something. I've had the security footage from the scene 'reprocessed.' The current airtight evidence shows that you were driving the car. The police are on their way to arrest you right now!"I wiped the liquor from my face and looked at him coldly. "Aren't you afraid of karma for fabricating evidence?"Marvin burst into a wild, a

Just as the handcuffs were about to snap shut around my wrist, a deafening roar suddenly erupted overhead.A powerful gust of wind swept through the area, sending the surrounding tree branches whipping wildly. Everyone raised their heads in unison and saw three massive helicopters circling over the slums like giant eagles in the night sky.Their searchlights cut through the darkness like sharp beams of light and illuminated the entire alley as bright as day.Marvin squinted his eyes against the blinding glare, and his expression shifted slightly. "What's going on? Where did these helicopters come from?"Before he could react, the synchronized roar of engines echoed from both sides of the alley.One helicopter, two helicopters, three helicopters…Over 100 identical, pitch-black Rolls-Royce Phantoms descended upon the narrow neighborhood like a massive tidal wave of steel, aggressively forcing their way into the slums. The fleet completely surrounded every police car and Marvin's M

Chapter 6

Edward adjusted his glasses and announced in a completely calm and emotionless voice, "The true culprit is this woman right here, Ms. Alyssa Evans."The officer took the documents. All he needed was a quick glance before the expression on his face completely changed. He whipped his head around and stared at Alyssa sharply."Ms. Alyssa Evans, we now have reason to suspect you of involvement in a hit-and-run case, as well as conspiring with others to fabricate evidence. Please come with us immediately for questioning!"Colors drained from Alyssa's face. She was so terrified that she started trembling with fear as she desperately hid behind Marvin."No! It wasn't me! Tell them, Marvin! Tell them I didn't do it!"Marvin's expression turned ugly, too. He slapped away the copies of the evidence Edward had handed over and snarled through clenched teeth, "Fake! It's all fabricated! Who sent you people? How dare you mess with me in Ashwood! You must be courting death!"He charged forward

Chapter 7

The next morning, Cooper Group woke up to an unprecedented, catastrophic disaster.As soon as the stock market opened, Cooper Group's stock was met with a massive short-selling attack by a wave of mysterious capital, which sent their stocks plummeting to their daily low.Next, the partners behind three of Cooper Group's major ongoing projects simultaneously announced their unilateral termination of their agreements. They were determined to sever all ties, even if it meant paying hefty penalties.The final blow came when several of their primary banking partners suddenly announced they were calling in their loans ahead of schedule. Cooper Group's cash flow immediately collapsed.Sitting in the leather executive chair in Huston Group's CEO Office, I watched Cooper Group's stock price plunge on a giant screen with a cold smile tugging at my lips.My assistant walked in to report."Ms. Huston, Marvin has completely lost it. He's been running around begging anyone he can find for a lo

Chapter 8

Marvin irritably yanked at his tie. "Shut up! Just keep looking!"Suddenly, Alyssa's gaze locked on me across the crowd. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief before tugging hard at Marvin's sleeve."Look, Marvin! Isn't that Hannah, that bitch?"Following her gaze, Marvin froze. The woman standing in the center of the crowd, surrounded by influential figures and carrying herself with elegance, was me, the woman he had treated as a maid for the past three years.Alyssa's face was contorted in jealousy. "What is she even doing here, all dressed up like a slut? And how much does her necklace cost?"Marvin, she must have found some old sugar daddy behind your back and leech off him just to sneak inside!"Her words were a massive blow to Marvin's pride. He couldn't accept that the woman who had once looked up to him and relied on him now stood at a height he could never hope to reach.Shoving past the crowd, he stormed up to me in a fit of rage."Hannah! Have you no shame?"Marvin's roa

Chapter 9

Alyssa completely broke down.She had always believed Marvin could clean up any mess, just like he always did. She never imagined that she would be publicly arrested in front of the entire Ashwood elite circle."No! I don't want to go to prison!" she cried. "Marvin, save me! Please save me!'"She desperately grabbed Marvin's arm, her nails nearly digging into his flesh.Right now, Marvin's face was paler than a corpse. When he looked around at the business tycoons, who used to treat him with respect but now looked at him with nothing but pure disdain and mockery, he knew that he was doomed.The ugliest side of human nature was laid bare in a life-or-death crisis.With all his strength, Marvin shoved Alyssa away and sent her crashing onto the floor. "Get away from me, you crazy woman!"He turned toward the officers and anxiously sold her out to clear his name."I'm innocent, officers! She was the one driving the car when the accident happened. I was drunk and asleep in the passe

Chapter 10

I stared down at Marvin, my eyes completely devoid of warmth."You look truly disgusting, groveling and begging for forgiveness, Marvin."My icy tone made him flinch. When he looked up at me, his face was streaked with rainwater and mud, which made him look utterly miserable."You can't be this heartless, Hannah. Have you forgotten the last three years? You made soup for me every night and burned your hands taking care of me…"He was desperately playing the sentimental card, hoping to revive the foolish devotion I once had for him."I have chronic stomach ulcers, and the doctors made it clear that I can't be exposed to the cold. Hannah, you used to worry about me more than anyone. Please just let me in, okay? I'm genuinely freezing to death…"I watched his pathetic performance in silence, my lips curling into a cruel smirk. "Marvin, your stomach ulcers were completely cured three years ago."While Marvin froze and stared up at me blankly, I continued, "How do you think your seve
