She Blamed Me For Her Baby's Death のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Wendy Jeffords was hugging her belly, looking deathly pale. She stumbled toward me and grabbed me by the arm. "I think I'm about to go into labor… Please, Ciara, take me to the hospital. It hurts so much…"The look on her face, the tone of her voice, and even the forceful grip on my arm were exactly the same as they were in my past life. My mind went momentarily blank.In my past life, she had approached me the same way, crying about how she was not able to get a cab and how only I could help her give birth to her baby safely. I believed her, so I drove her to the hospital in my new car, speeding all the way in an anxious state.I took a shortcut to get to the hospital faster, but after two hours of surgery, the doctor walked out of the surgery room with a pained look on his face. "The baby suffocated because its umbilical cord was wrapped around its neck. We weren't able to save it."My knees went weak, and before I knew it, Wendy started wailing from the hospital room, "This is a

My phone started vibrating less than 30 minutes after Wendy was taken away in the ambulance. Wendy was thanking every single person in the family's group chat. [Thank you, Eve. Thank you, Sean. Thank you, Clay. Thank you to everyone who called the ambulance. You're all my heroes. I'm about to be wheeled into the delivery room at St. Gabriel Medical Center.]After that, her text took another tone.[My next words are for a certain someone who refused to help me. You'll suffer retribution for being such a cold-blooded person.]Eve replied right away: [I know what you mean. So what if that person is rich? Everyone would still hate that person if they are of questionable character.]Sean chimed in sarcastically: [Some people had been busy showing off their brand-new luxury car, but when it comes to helping others, well… Hah!]Everyone else in the group chat started asking questions.[Wait, what happened?][Someone refused to help Wendy when she was about to go into labor?][It was Ciara. S

The entire hall was so silent that only the ticking of the clock on the wall could be heard. Everyone exchanged glances, looking upset. Clay glanced at Silvio's sullen face and spoke up, "Even if you're telling the truth, why did you refuse to help her get an ambulance, then? You could've also gotten your family doctor to give her a checkup. Why did you just sit there and watch as Wendy passed out from pain?!""I did call for an ambulance. You can give the emergency center a call and ask them who made the call for the ambulance."After replying, I glanced at Eve, who was standing in the corner. Clay did not say anything else, but Eve dashed forward from her corner and said in a shrill voice, "Those are just excuses, Ciara! You did it on purpose! Wendy has always treated you well, and you're an ingrate for doing this to her!""Treated me well?" I turned to look at Eve. "When was she ever nice to me? Was it when she treated me to afternoon tea or when she constantly praised me for loo

The protest outside the villa continued until late at night, while I sat in the study as Violet texted me continuously.[More and more people are gathering outside. Some of them have started throwing Molotov cocktails over the walls. Clay led a group of people out there to stand in front of the crowd but remained silent. Eve just left from the side door, and I wonder who she's meeting with.]I put my phone down and pulled up a corner of the curtain to peek outside. The flames outside the villa had brightened half the sky, and I could vaguely hear the crowd's shouting. Silvio's men had set up machine guns from within the walls, but no one dared open fire. Most of the people in the crowd were commoners, and once someone got hurt, things would escalate seriously.My phone vibrated with a text from the consigliere. [Don Salvatore has requested that you come up with a solution before morning. Otherwise, the family's court will officially sentence you to your crime."I sneered and repl

Three days later, Silvio wanted to meet me alone. He had a glass of drink in front of him, but half the ice had melted into it. "We've investigated this thoroughly, and Wendy and her husband have been evicted from this city. They have faced the law's judgment in accordance with your request, and have been sentenced to at least 15 years for murder, fraud, and conspiring to seize the family's wealth."Silvio took a sip of his drink. "As for Eve Samson and the rest, all of their assets have been frozen for helping Wendy Jeffords contact the media and incite the public."I nodded.Silvio put down his drink and was silent for a moment. "Clay came to me three times, asking not to cancel the wedding, but I told him that this is between the two of you. If one of you wants to cancel the wedding, there is nothing the other person can do about it."I was relieved. "But…" Silvio looked at me."You need to think this through. Cancelling the wedding means that you're giving up on the family's p
