Humble Response To A Compliment

I lose a kidney after an accident, but my one-year-old son dies on the spot. The months after the accident are when I'm most depressed, but my CEO husband is by my side day and night as he cares for me. However, in the fifth year of our marriage, I overhear Yoel Lawson's conversation with a doctor. "It's bad enough that you deliberately orchestrated that accident to have Felicity's kidney transplanted in Rosa's body, but you even accidentally caused your child's death. Aren't you afraid Felicity will lose her mind when she finds out?" "We've lost our son, but we can always have another child. Rosie would've died without that kidney. I gave up my happiness to make it up to Felicity, didn't I? I'll make her conceive again this year—she'll be happier than anything else." Yoel's indifferent voice makes my head spin. I feel like I've been struck by lightning. It turns out he didn't spend all day at the hospital after my accident because of me—he was there to care for Rosa Shaw, his true love. I don't want to have another child with him. I don't even want him anymore.

It's my fiancé's grandmother's birthday banquet. My father's adoptive daughter suddenly snatches the gift I've prepared and says loudly, "My adoptive sister is so rude. "She tried to take the gift I prepared for Mrs. Scott Senior and play it off as her own. I'll have my father teach her a lesson when we get home later." The guests start to whisper among themselves and criticize me. In the past, I would've fled. I would never have dared to retaliate. Unfortunately for her, I've been reborn. I swipe the gift from her and throw it onto the floor. "When has my family turned into something for you to brag about? You mentioned having your father teach me a lesson, right? He's just been released from jail after being there for a decade due to theft. Are you going to bring him here?"

Her marriage felt like a worldly hell; unloved by her husband, openly cheated on, labeled as leveraging opportunities to join the famed Don William family conglomerate across the Western world. Her life was steeped in deceit ever since those sacred vows were uttered. Determined to retaliate against all the pain inflicted by her ex-husband, Don Austin William, Jane stepped aside for a moment. Though her conscience whispered that revenge would only consume her life. Jane was reborn as a top celebrity. She shed her name and everything from her past, starting afresh with vigor despite her frozen heart when it came to love. Initially, Jane began to let go of her resentment and disappointment. She was tired of juggling endless schedules and work. Unfortunately, Austin returned. Using her popularity, she resolved to get even with him. She aimed to make him kneel and beg for her love. She planned to discard him once Austin fell into her arms. However, bit by bit, her past unfolded. Would her revenge succeed as she desired? Or would Jane willingly throw herself back into her own personal hell?

I said underneath my breath as I dare not spare him a glance. I gulped as I summoned courage to meet his fierce gaze and with an almost inaudible tone I pleaded “It won’t bulge, can you help me?” He closed the gap between us with long strides while I subconsciously retreated till I hit the wall, my breathe hitched as he locked my lips. “Pah!” The sound of a slap resounded through the room, My eyes filled with terror as I raised my hands to cover my mouth. What have I done? I asked mentally still stunned at my action. “How dare you!” He roared and I knew I was done for!.
