I am the male lead’s Late Wife who died early. Fifteenth year after death, the System resurrected me, asked me to save that child on the rooftop. “He is your biological flesh and blood, if you don’t care about him, he really has nothing.” But I have been bad-tempered and spoiled since childhood, only others serving me. So I stepped on high heels walked over, grabbed his collar: “Don’t seek life and death here, cowardly just like your dad.” “Where is he? Don’t know I came back still not come pick me up?” … Chapter 1 The teenager quietly looked at me, expression seemed to have a moment of blankness, but soon recovered, became a piece of ripple-less water surface again. He slightly tilted his head, don’t know thinking what. I impatiently tsked a sound, ordered him: “Call Julian Vance.” He passed a good while then fished out phone, pressed a number. Phone ring rang half minute, finally issued no answer prompt sound. I narrowed eyes: “Julian actually dare not answer phone? Guts big ah!” Caleb seemed already used to it, just about to put phone away. I directly took over, connected called three four more. Phone finally connected, but was a crisp female voice: “Sorry, Mr. Vance is working, please do not disturb.” Finished just hung up, didn’t give me a chance. I just wanted smash phone, suddenly remembered this is not my thing. Raised hand forcefully put down, I grinded teeth hatefully said. “Good ah this guy, wait for me!” Caleb pulled my sleeve, seeing me puzzled look over, his glass-like eyes lightly looked at me, then said two words. “Go back.” Chapter 2 On way back, I and System confirmed again: “This mute bottle really is my son?” I told Caleb taxi sit uncomfortable, he ‘mn’ a sound. I said dislike driver breathing sound, rhythm too messy listen upset, he ‘mn’ a sound. I said clothes on him too ugly, lower my grade, he still ‘mn’ a sound. Later I angry cursed, asked Julian that bastard exactly rolled where when. He finally lifted eyes look me, eyelash slight tremble, voice very light said two words. “Business trip.” I almost angered to death. A stick can’t hit out a fart, speak a word like want his life. How look also not like my son’s character. When he was two years old could noisy Julian whole night sleepless, clearly same temper as me, where like this mute gourd in front. [Host, please slightly understand him. This child suffers from severe psychological illness, language communication barrier is just one manifestation.] I pursed lips, looking at Caleb thin figure, dim eyes, angered heart pain. In fifteen years I absent, Julian this bastard exactly how raised child! Chapter 3 Back home, I first went my room turned a circle. Very good, still same layout as fifteen years ago, my things one didn’t miss. Just in shoe cabinet at door, added a pair of light green lady slippers. I scanned one eye, found is shoes match my style, so didn’t think much. Wait I finished checking a circle then found, Caleb this kid don’t know run where. His room door was locked. I frowned, directly took key opened door. Room pitch black, neither light on, curtain also pulled tight, not see a bit light. Living room light follow door move shine in, only see a lonely figure alone sit before window. I tap tap tap walked over, slap a sound turned on light, crossed arms sat in front of Caleb. Caleb blankly sat there, eyes staring one direction blink not blink, don’t know looking what. Eyes obscure no light. I stared at him, spit out three words. “I hungry.” Caleb seemed finally detect my existence, hear my words, he lowered head took out phone ordered a DoorDash. “I don’t eat DoorDash!” “Julian everyday just let you solve three meals like this?” Caleb put phone down, lowered head, again ignored people. I irritable grabbed a handful hair, turned walk out, couldn’t help complain to System. “Such a broken situation, might as well let me dead.” Behind me, Caleb lifted eyes look over, eyelash slight tremble. Chapter 4 I called System out, asked clear Caleb’s encounter these fifteen years. System told me, after I passed away, Julian became more depressed day by day. He sometimes even couldn’t care about his own work, let alone take care of Caleb well. Julian once drunk, slept two days dark sky dark earth. During this time Caleb didn’t eat a bite of food, hungry cried faint passed, sent to hospital then urgent rescue back. After this matter, Julian threw Caleb to Nanny, himself threw into work. Nanny saw Julian not care this child, attitude to Caleb also very bad, often not cook for him, also occasionally beat scold. Until once Caleb fast hunger strike faint, Julian rushed back then found this matter. That time Caleb already sick very severe, even school couldn’t go. Julian fired Nanny, suffering find no one take care child, assistant Bella beside then volunteer took down this task. “Bella?” I remembered that phone call to Julian was picked up by a woman, looks like is her. [Caleb hates her very much, also because her and your husband broke out very serious conflict.] [Three years ago, Julian for balance work and family prepared marry with Bella. Caleb however not agree, took knife against own wrist force Julian swear won’t marry Bella in door, otherwise he suicide.] I disbelief: “Julian actually want marry others?” [Host rest assured, he finally didn’t marry Bella, two people till now still are boss and subordinate relation.] [But Bella from then on to Caleb quite have micro words, attitude to him also not as before.] I frowned: “She did what?” [Have Nanny precedent, she dare not do too flamboyant. Just everyday tell Caleb, your mom won’t come back again. You want be sensible point, don’t let your dad difficult. Julian need is a wife can stand beside him become his right arm left arm, not a dead white moonlight.] I coldly smiled: “Good ah, good a right arm left arm.” [Host, you next plan how do?] “Julian brain water in, I help him beat out not fine?” I playful smile, “Also that Bella, use this means deal my son, wait get fixed ba.” Chapter 5 But I also didn’t expect, actually so fast confronted Bella. Next morning, I still sleeping in room, caught off guard by a burst crackle crackle sound wake up. I pulled quilt cover face, just want continue sleep. Then heard dispute outside room. A female voice carrying blame meaning said: “Caleb, how can you casually bring stranger home? Still a unknown origin woman?” “I know you always can’t stand I stay beside Mr. Vance, but you also can’t use such way to counterattack him. You put Mr. Vance where, again treat yourself as what?” But no matter what Bella said, Caleb all one attitude. Not allow enter. Bella raised voice point: “Caleb, you so disobedient, really too let people disappointed.” “You could it be hope I tell Mr. Vance, you brought a indecent woman home, still let her sleep in your mom’s room?” Don’t know Caleb said what, Bella tone a turn, become incomparable strict: “Since like this, then I can only let Mr. Vance personal come discipline you.” I played with nails, heard here laughed a sound, opened door. Caleb saw me come out, slightly frown: “Woke, you?” “It’s okay, almost should wake.” Bella sized me up: “You look indeed pretty, no wonder can seduce Caleb like this.” “But, as long as I stay beside Mr. Vance one day, won’t allow you this kind person enter Vance family door. Caleb character simple, not much contact outside world, you exactly see this point manipulate him…” Slap! Crisp sound fall. Bella covered bright red finger mark on face, dare not believe looking me: “You actually dare hit me?” I smiled. “Hit is you ah.” Bella deep breath a mouth, to phone that end said: “Mr. Vance, you all heard ba. Caleb this time thing do really too excessive, indulge this woman lawless in your home…” “Wait a minute.” Julian voice transmit from phone, carrying few points hard detect excitement and uncontrollable joy. “Open video, I want see her face.” Bella slightly stunned, but still follow Julian said open video, lift camera aim me. “Get out.” Voice carrying slight cold intention rang. Caleb blocked in front of me, use hand cover camera, not let Julian see my face. In situation everyone haven’t time react, he pulled me into room, backhand locked room door. Bella outside patting door panel, accuse him: “Caleb, you now how so rebellious? For a woman go against your father, you like this will let him very disappointed…” Caleb tone indifferent, very calm: “Concern you what matter.” Bella outside soft grind hard soak, no matter how say no use, even complain to Julian, Caleb also treat as not heard. She at door spent near one hour, finally can’t stay self left. In room, I stare Caleb, thoughtful: “Why you don’t want let Julian see me?” Caleb behavior really abnormal, not like kid throwing temper performance. This child looks not sociable, but mind delicate sensitive, he do this must have his reason. Caleb slightly lift head, look me. He suddenly reach hand, grabbed my wrist, voice inside actually faintly have a trace tremble: “Don’t, leave.” My heart mouth hot, gently embraced Caleb’s back, one stroke one stroke stroke his head top. Voice gentle: “Don’t fear, I won’t go.” Caleb buried head, in my arms stayed few seconds then retreat few steps, take out phone show me a document.

The second day after the villain went bankrupt, he wanted to commit suicide. I grabbed his hand tightly to stop him. “Hubby, I just bought a bag, Afterpay installment for five years to finish paying.” “If you go, who will pay for me!” Suddenly, Live Comments exploded in mid-air: [Turns out the villain’s biggest retribution isn’t death, but having such a wife.] [Laughing to death, villain is bankrupt, how to pay her loan.] [Dying like this is indeed too cheap for the villain, at least let him suffer all the sins the male and female leads suffered before dying.] [Why isn’t the villain dead yet! Why isn’t the villain dead yet!] [If not for the villain forcing the male lead to go abroad, the female lead wouldn’t have washed dishes in a restaurant for five years with a cute baby, let him also suffer five years before dying.] My gaze drifted lightly from the comments, continued to act spoiled to Julian Vance. … Chapter 1 Julian slowly turned his head to look at me, tone with some disbelief: “Before I went bankrupt, didn’t I just transfer you $10 Million for living expenses?” My eyes innocent: “Oh, that little money ah, just bought a vase.” Perhaps blown by the wind for too long, his voice was dry with some tremors: “…A vase?” “Seems to be Ming Dynasty.” “You won’t blame me right?” I carefully shook his hand. Julian covered his eyes and looked up at the sky. Suffering unspeakably. Wind on the rooftop became much stronger, blowing his white shirt rattling. Whole person looked teetering. I tucked the hair by my ear behind, blinked at him: “Hubby you come down quickly, today is your birthday, I also prepared a gift for you!” Thought thought. Continued to add: “Give you a few keywords hint——” “Uniform, Animal, Red.” Julian was somewhat flattered: “…You prepared a gift for me?” After all, he had given me countless gifts, this was the first time I gave him one. Glanced at the speeding vehicles downstairs, Julian finally came down from the rooftop. … On the table lay a beautifully packaged gift box, a very big one. Julian’s hand uncovering the ribbon trembled slightly. Eyes unblinking. Layer by layer of gorgeous packaging was opened, revealing the DoorDash uniform set inside the box. Red helmet, red vest and a folded delivery box. Julian lifted the helmet with one hand, laughed in anger. Turned and walked towards the rooftop again. His steps were unhesitating. I looked at his tall and straight figure against the light, gritted teeth and stomped feet. “…Julian Vance you!” Julian put the helmet on his head. Dull and hoarse voice came: “Phone is still on the rooftop.” Chapter 2 Julian adapted well to the identity of a delivery man. No matter how busy delivering food at noon, he never forgot to come home and cook for me. Looking at that man wearing a helmet, walking hurriedly, no one could imagine half a month ago he was the tech upstart ringing the bell at NASDAQ. Julian took off helmet, put on apron cooking in kitchen. I nested in sofa eating grapes. Watching his busy figure. Kitchen in rental apartment has no air conditioning. Soon, Julian was covered in sweat. He took off his t-shirt, only wearing a pink floral apron. His back broad, solid muscles covered with a thin layer of sweat. Apron strings loosely tied at waist, outlining a narrow waistline. “Ya!” I was careless, fingertips crushed a grape, splashed juice all over hand. Julian heard noise, busy ran over, bent down, used towel carefully wiped clean my every finger. “…Actually, you don’t need to follow me anymore, Chloe, money you owe I will pay, don’t waste youth on me.” His voice tight, Adam’s apple rolled few times before finishing whole sentence. I spoke aggrievedly: “I didn’t dislike you when you have no money, you actually drive me away!” Julian opened mouth, haven’t said anything, I continued unreasonably said: “I know, you just dislike I spend much money, back then when you kept me as Sugar Baby what did you say, said you raise me for a lifetime, you haven’t married me yet want abandon. Is it drive me away, you want marry a hardworking steady woman, you heartless man!” Julian covered my mouth with hand, finally blocked my endless chatter. He lowered eyes, raven feather like eyelashes slightly trembled: “I just feel you are suffering following me now.” “House very small, I cook not delicious, even grapes not too fresh.” “Chloe, you should go, go live a better and happier life.” Logically speaking, Sugar Daddy bankrupt, Sugar Baby should pack things and run. Not to mention he early planned for me, left me a large fortune. Even if he bankrupt, I also have lots and lots of money. But that day I just went home late ten minutes. Julian stood on the rooftop. I can’t go. I also don’t want to go. I pinched his wrist, turned over pressed him on sofa. Fingertips caressed his slightly red eye corner. “You want raise me for a lifetime, Julian, don’t think of throwing me off.” Dense packed Live Comments floated before my eyes again. [Damn girl, eat so good, let me act two episodes.] [Why villain deliver food still so handsome, I am really craving, of course I mean the takeout.] [Sister, don’t think hard, villain and his drama queen wife won’t have good ending.] [Setting aside deliberately opposing male lead, villain really tall handsome and good to wife.] [Can’t set aside sister, male lead baby lived so so miserable abroad those years, speaking of it I get angry, why villain not offline yet!] I pretended not to see comments. Pinched Julian chin kissed down, watching him start blushing from face. Whole body like burning up. Taking advantage of breathing gap, Julian wiped mouth corner. “Ch… Chloe, rice ready, first… first eat rice ba!” [Ahhhhh! Cold face Yama to outsiders, pure puppy to wife, what fairy grade is this!] [Actually villain and little drama queen cannon fodder still bit good to ship, I eat a bite.] [I also eat a bite.] [Front ones, don’t let three views follow five senses run hey!] [Don’t ship sisters, villain destined can’t escape plot kill, you ship sugar now, later will eat glass.] Chapter 3 Long ago, I saw strange comments appearing in the sky. Thought was someone’s prank, I didn’t care. Until reality events verified those comments authenticity time and time again. I then had to believe. In their fragmented conversation, I pieced together some information. Julian is the villain. And villain is destined to fail. Early stage he is male lead’s sharpening stone, later stage he is male lead’s stepping stone. After seeing comments, I tried hard to change plot development. But Julian still went bankrupt. But doesn’t matter. I have a new plan in heart. … Julian get up early dark late take orders deliver food. I lay at home eating small cake Julian just sent me. Comments suddenly appeared: [Male lead really, learned villain now deliver food, even specially take care his business, designated him to send engagement banquet cake.] [Villain gonna be slapped face hard by male lead, think about it so cool!] [Protagonist group already prepared to entertain villain well.] [Suddenly bit pity villain, receive big order first reaction is buy small cake for wife, but didn’t know that is trap against him.] I felt bad, hurried carried my new bought bag went to New York biggest hotel. Hotel door put male lead Sebastian Vance and female lead Lily’s engagement banquet welcome sign. Before entering, I saw a touch of bright red. Julian shoulder wide legs long, even wearing delivery uniform hard hide full body handsomeness. He pushed a one meter high cake, blocked by few rich kids. Lead is the male lead Sebastian Vance in comments mouth. Chapter 4 Sebastian looked Julian up and down. Contempt in eyes seemed want break Julian’s straight spine. “Big Brother, back then when you forced me far away to London, I said, wind water take turns turn.” “Look, now how you down and out like a dog.” Surrounding burst of laughter. In these years Julian and Sebastian fight for family property, they as Sebastian friends, all have serious grudge with Julian. Suppressed by Julian so many years, hard easy turn over, they all come to beat drowning dog. To add some fun, Sebastian friend Brad opened mouth: “Seb, did you hear a fun thing——” “Julian bankrupt, his that little canary still follow him ne!” Another person chimed in: “He this not waste heavenly things ma! Just he now deliver food earn these two dollars, still afford raise woman?” Laughter wave higher than wave. Brad see Julian always not flare up, deliberate provoke: “How about this, I give you one million, you send your that little bird to my home, as long as she serve me well, I just…” Julian raised those scarlet eyes, a punch beat Brad flip on ground. “You dare!” Hotel security hurried forward, pressed Julian dead on ground. Brad covered half beaten crooked face, kicked on Julian heart nest. “You now like this, still think can protect who?” Julian gritted teeth, dead stare him. “You guys, have matter rush me come.” Sebastian gave Brad a wink. Brad instantly understood. He took out phone aim Julian, unkindly spoke: “How about this, as long as you kneel down bark two dog sounds, I just let go your that little bird.” “How is it?” Chapter 5 [Use woman threaten villain, protagonist group this bit foul right?] [Treat enemy how can soft heart, isn’t just let him bark dog, again won’t lose piece meat.] [Suddenly bit pity villain…] [Plus one] [How can someone pity villain ah? Then what our male lead suffered counts?] Comments quarreled up. I watched many pity Julian comments quietly sighed relief. One second before Julian forced to kneel, I rushed up. Carrying my fifty thousand dollar bag bang bang smash on Brad and Sebastian heads. “Kneel your dad head! Kneel your grandpa head!” “Still not let go me? Sebastian what can you do to me ah?” “See who not let go who!” I not worry they revenge. Brad they no Main Character Energy protect, can’t do anything to me. And protagonist cannot break law. Then Sebastian also can’t do anything to me. I heart ache look creases smashed out on bag. Look again their unscathed thick skin. Heart couldn’t help regret—— Early knew stuff a brick inside. Brad pain grin mouth, finger point me threaten: “You f*cking dare hit me, watch father…” Julian protect me behind, kicked up. But they after all many people. Really fight, Julian definitely will suffer loss. While I thinking way, a Rolls-Royce phantom silent glide to hotel forecourt. Window down half inch, reveal half face shrouded by cigar smoke. Man brow bone high, eye corner carved few sharp lines. He index finger gently knock window frame, meaningful looked me one eye. Chapter 6 Sebastian that pair full anger eyes unintentional sweep that car. Stunned a moment. Then big step walk to hotel forecourt. Comments instant boil: [Coming coming coming, that man he came!] [Hong Kong first big consortium heir! Too handsome right!] [Hong Kong big shot personal come give male lead investment, male lead immediately fly sky!] [Do you guys feel, big shot eyes always staring at little drama queen?] [I also feel bit strange, little drama queen wouldn’t be big shot’s run away little wife ba?] I slowly turn head, met man black deep double eyes. Bad! Is Alexander Sterling! I heart a burst panic, pull Julian just run. Julian seem sensed something. He turn head, with Alexander far look each other. Back home, Julian asked nothing. He close eyes, gentle kiss fall on my hair top. Heart anxious nervous, didn’t notice Julian strangeness. Send him out door continue deliver food after, I lay on bed. Just thinking things, heard door rustling sound. I open bedroom door, living room stand uninvited group people. Just want ask how they enter.

Transmigrated as an NPC in a romance novel, the System wanted me to Conquer the novel’s second male lead. He wanted me to serve him tea and water, I even massaged his shoulders and legs. He wanted to eat Wonton Soup ten miles away at night, I drove overnight to buy it. When the conquest value was about to reach ninety-nine, the female lead kissed him in front of me. At that moment, the conquest value cleared to zero. The System asked me. “Failed for the third time, still want to continue?” My heart was dead as ash. “No, I want to go home.” In an instant, I saw him suddenly look up, looking at me with eyes full of panic. … Chapter 1 Lila lost Truth or Dare, had to choose a boy to kiss on the spot, she chose my fiancé Adrian Thorne at a glance. At that time, I was sitting aside, peeling off the white strings on the orange Adrian wanted to eat one by one. Adrian’s friend looked at me. “Sister-in-law won’t mind right, just playing a game.” Adrian put his hand on my shoulder, coldly glanced over. “Don’t disgust me.” This scene made his friend feel chill, said my fate is really good, to be loved by Adrian. But he knew, his hand pinched my shoulder painful, when I looked at him for help, he stared tightly at Lila, unaware at all. Today was originally a class reunion, Lila was the campus goddess back then, everyone was jeering to let her kiss one quickly. Lila’s eye corners flashed with tears, forced a smile, peripheral vision dead staring at us. The man who failed to pursue her back then embraced her shoulder. “Adrian unwilling, it’s okay, have me.” The man smiled wretchedly, kept leaning towards her. “Just once is fine, come on come on.” Adrian lowered his head, picked up the orange I just peeled and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled gently as always, even broke a piece of orange wanting to feed me. But I saw the conquest value above his head falling down. I knew he was heartache, just using me to distract attention. Lila endured tears, finally when about to touch, fierce pushed the person away. “I am not willing.” The orange paused at my mouth. “In my heart always only have one person.” “I know he is about to get married, but I still want to be brave once today.” Saying, Lila strode over to pull me away, cupped Adrian’s face and kissed him. Whole field silence. Adrian didn’t resist, even the moment Lila left, pulled her into his arms, deepened the kiss. The orange in hand caught off guard rolled to the ground, stained with dust. In an instant everyone in the field stood up jeering, some even picked up phones to record. When I bent down wanting to pick up the orange, watched it burst under someone else’s feet, became disgusting. Can’t pick back anymore. System beside me angry shouted. “Male Two do you still remember you have a girlfriend!” Pity, except me no one can hear his words. Alarm sound in brain still sharp repeating. “Conquest value cleared! Conquest value cleared!” After two people kissed for a long time, panting, hands still on each other’s shoulders, eyes sticky. Next second, Adrian carried Lila horizontally in front of everyone and walked out. System dejectedly asked me. “Third conquest failed, still want to continue?” My heart dead as ash, repeatedly shook head. “No, I want to go home.” In peripheral vision, I saw Adrian paused for a moment, finally still head not back walked away. Abandoned me in front of everyone. Chapter 2 Adrian’s car long disappeared without trace, and here is remote, I can only walk home. Car after car sped past me. Adrian’s friend who couldn’t stand me specially stopped to mock. “Long couldn’t stand your dog leg look, just knew to snatch man when Lila not notice, shameless!” “Peacefully be your assistant, don’t delusional anymore!” Finished deliberately blasted me a face of exhaust gas. I took out wet tissue wiped face, conveniently wiped tears away. I didn’t deliberately snatch man. When transmigrated into this romance novel, Lila had already abandoned Adrian and went abroad to engage with male lead Caleb Sterling. System told me, conquest value 100% not only can thoroughly change his destined death ending, but also can take away four million dollars home. I already conquered him third time. First conquest, Adrian trapped in a big fire caused by crew mistake, I risked death to save him out. But he woke up forgot all, also treated me as initiator hung on net to scold. Second conquest, he relented willing to marry me, I diligently planned for half a year. Wedding day, Lila crying called him, he immediately abandoned me. All this, I could originally blame on my only 60% conquest value. But this time, 99%, still couldn’t escape fate of clearing. System comforted me, at least still have ten days can go home. But because against heaven, before going home will suffer a little backlash. I smiled bitterly, held back impulse to cry again. I was tortured so long because want to please him, still afraid of last little bit? Because next day Adrian has filming task, I rushed to scene early to prepare in advance. Going home soon, I also don’t want to add trouble to anyone. Adrian was late, I called for an hour no one answered. Director dared not fire at Adrian, could only vent on me. “You are his assistant, don’t know communicate with him in advance?” But I clearly agreed with Adrian yesterday. I repeatedly bowed apology, opened WeChat sent message after message asking when Adrian can arrive. I subconsciously worried about his career development. This drama is very important to him, if acted well, can impact the Oscar he desired for four years. And director is famous big shot in circle, offending him won’t be easy later. When I was anxious turning circles, learned just now Adrian sent message to director, saying he has something today asking for leave. He has good credit in circle, high status, director instantly believed his words, immediately agreed. But crew loss already produced, director sent cost to agent asking her compensation. Agent knew after, blamed everything on me, immediately deducted my three months salary to teach me lesson. Even sent this matter to company group with Adrian to warn others. Adrian also didn’t defend for me, just silence. Soon, Lila posted a Instagram. In photo two people fingers interlocked. “Hee hee, one sentence bored let future Actor Adrian lie ask leave accompany me out play.” Below soon someone commented. “This is talented man beautiful woman born pair!” “Wish together forever, don’t let Scarlett that bitch take advantage again.” “Sigh, take advantage again so what, four years time she also can’t catch Brother Adrian heart, a waste.” Adrian only replied Lila: “As long as you happy, I willing do anything.” He calmly publicized favor to Lila, ignored others humiliation to me. I couldn’t help send message question him. “Why not tell me in advance you want ask leave, I am not only your assistant, more is your girlfriend.” He replied quickly. “You are just an assistant, I no need tell you everything in advance.” Good a just assistant. For Lila, always never asked leave him suddenly asked three days leave, now even want draw clear line with me. Sure enough, no anyone anything more important than Lila. I lazy to reply again, deleted all info about him on phone. Don’t want care, I want resign. Chapter 3 When I went company find agent, coincidentally bumped into Lila. She frowned rubbing shoulder, looked up want scold, saw clearly is me took back words. “So coincidental?” Probably is Adrian want come back handle something, bear not let her lonely so brought. She eye fast hand quick picked up my resignation contract dropped on ground exclaimed. “Adrian isn’t just ask a leave accompany me play ma, why you noise want resign.” She one sentence just fixed me on unreasonable position. She pulled my hand apologize. “Sorry ah Sister Scarlett, is we played too late bit tired, begged him ask leave accompany me, moment forgot tell you.” “You rest assured we later won’t like this, absolutely tell you early early, not let you difficult.” “Last night that post scolded too ugly, you don’t take into heart ah.” “Actually I still very thank you accompany Adrian so many years, took care him so well.” She smiled gentle generous. I also smiled, want pull hand out. “No need say these, I am really…” Lila smile unchanged, but dead grabbed my hand. I didn’t think much, just unwilling have any entanglement with her again. Fierce used force, I flung a slap on her face. Lila fair face instantly more a clear red palm print. When she covered face, a look of disbelief, then wanted counterattack. Adrian rushed over grabbed her hand. “Lila, what you doing?” I looked Adrian blocked in front of me, full belly grievance surged up, couldn’t help tear. Lila same tears watery pointed her own face. “Brother Adrian, is she hit me first, she said I shameless snatch others boyfriend, flung me a slap, I angry want counterattack, this just happen by you bumped, this definitely is she deliberate provoke me!” Adrian slowly let go her hand. He believed Lila words, used hand stroke her face, tone gentle. “Is I misunderstood you, pain not pain?” He wiped Lila tears, protected person behind, coldly looked at me. “Apologize.” My tears haven’t fall finish, he but tsked a sound. “Character corrupt person is you, how still have face cry.” System can’t watch down, beside shouted at Adrian. “You blind just go cure ah, based on what she speak you believe, own girlfriend speak just not believe!” “Back then Lila abandoned you go abroad marry Caleb matter you all forgot ma, is Scarlett save you a life when you suicide!” “Is you said, she is your only salvation in this world, you all forgot.” “Wait ba, that time she really left, have you regret.” Adrian lightly laughed, then calm open mouth. “In my heart always only have Lila, others I one not care.” His words out, not only I stunned, System also stunned. “How he seem can hear my words?” I didn’t sound, just gently wiped own tears, then faintly open mouth. “Sorry.” Adrian somewhat surprised. “You said right, I character corrupt, naturally not worthy be your assistant.” I took back my resignation letter sign on it. “So I apply resign.” His expression froze a moment, smile slowly cold down. “You serious?” I didn’t care him, then walked past him. He just wanted chase up but grabbed arm by Lila. “Adrian, she just act sample, how would bear really leave.” He sure enough stopped. I sneered once, didn’t care. Is it true, later naturally understand. Chapter 4 Submit finish resignation application, hand over all work after, already evening. Tomorrow can go home, just stepped out company door my heart a burst cramp pain. System told me, this is backlash before going home. I squatted aside eased for long time, suddenly thought home still have a little cat. Little cat was I adopted road side when came to this world, in that period time not yet liked by Adrian, it was my only comfort. Without it, I probably early collapsed. After home, I rely memory unlock enter door found whole room changed. My slippers at door gone. Not only so, couple photo on TV cabinet, succulent plant in kitchen all thrown away. Original position already replaced by Adrian and Lila photo, and rose bouquet Lila likes. I stunned, straight rushed to cat room. Whole cat room things all cleared, became Lila dance room. Little cat gone. I turned over whole room, inside outside all no little cat figure. Huge panic suppressed me. Click. Home big door opened. A moan. I watched Adrian press Lila on wall, single hand hold Lila waist, lower head at Lila neck. Lila just want hug back Adrian when met my eyes, obviously scared. “Adrian, home have people…” Adrian tsked a sound, turn head eyes like want eat me, then instant stunned.

Confirming they left, I started dialing. Call connected, I wanted to speak, but couldn’t help coughing. The other end understood: “You finally agreed to accept treatment?” … Chapter 1 I gently “Mm”ed. Voice on other end continued. “You should have made this decision long ago, bias for Julian, delayed accepting treatment.” “Life almost gone, what else you can’t leave him?” I clenched phone, palm wet. “About when can I leave?” “Leave? Where you want go?” Phone suddenly snatched away, Julian returned unknowingly. Moment he grabbed phone, I hurriedly hung up. Julian swiped my phone few times, but found nothing. He threw phone back to my arms, warned me. “Mira, don’t think play tricks leave me.” Julian took car key, already walked to door. He looked back at me, eyes complex. “What you owe me, this life can’t pay clear.” My attention, all on car key in his hand. That car was my 18th birthday gift, after Lin Family bankruptcy, that car also auctioned with other assets. Didn’t expect bought by Julian. Sensed my gaze, Julian coldly laughed. “Quinn said, want use this car as lead car for wedding fleet.” “Although model old, but can’t help she likes.” I lowered head. I knew, this is Julian’s revenge again. With door closing sound, my phone also received new message. [Depart next month 10th, flight ticket already booked for you.] [Take this time… say good goodbye to Julian.] [Although he changed now, but you guys loved so deep back then, always have feelings.] I light laughed, put down phone. Between me and Julian, long no feelings, more no need goodbye. He kept me by side, just for revenge. I stayed by his side, just to pay back debt back then. Now debt paid off, I also should go. I started packing luggage. Unexpectedly found, Promissory Note Julian wrote me ten years ago. I almost forgot, at beginning, I was Julian’s creditor. Just don’t know why, finally debt rolled debt, became I owe him three lives. Ringtone interrupted my memory, I picked up phone. “I have things afternoon, you accompany Quinn try wedding dress for me. By the way… try your bridesmaid dress.” I didn’t know when I became bridesmaid, and became whose bridesmaid. Question to mouth, blocked back by Julian’s words. “Me and Quinn wedding, you come be bridesmaid.” He didn’t give me room to refuse, soon hung up phone. Looking at call ended interface, I sighed, got up change clothes. Before completely leave, can’t let Julian detect something wrong. He is a madman, definitely won’t let me go. Arrived bridal shop, I was led by staff into VIP room. Quinn sat on sofa, front placed tea and snacks. Ground casually threw few wedding dresses. See me enter, Quinn lifted eyelids, looked watch on wrist. “Late three minutes, what you say to do?” I lowered head silent. Quinn can’t stand me, I long knew. Her gaze fell on my lower abdomen, again like had answer. “You just discharged from hospital, I also won’t punish you.” She kicked wedding dress by foot to me, smiled rippling. “Trying wedding dress too tired, you try for me.” “Weren’t you always expecting marry Julian? Today count as fulfilling your dream.” I silently picked up wedding dress, walked into changing room. Quinn voice rang behind. “Matter of you injured miscarriage, not allowed speak much in front of Julian.” My steps paused, self-mocking smile. Tell Julian so what, everything was his tacit permission. My hand gently touched lower abdomen. If not Julian, everything wouldn’t happen. I walked out changing room, Quinn suddenly shut mouth. Her eyes had amazement, soon turned into jealousy fire. “If you dare wear like this wander in front of Julian, don’t blame me not polite.” Quinn said this sentence too late, Julian already came. “Quinn, I came late.” Seeing me, Julian sluggish few seconds. He soon recovered as usual, righteously said. “Why you wearing Quinn’s wedding dress?” I opened mouth want defend, again heard Julian next sentence. “Are you worthy?” Maybe long ago, when we still loved, I was worthy. Me and Julian were childhood sweethearts. Day college entrance exam ended, he confessed to me. “Mira, we be together forever okay?” “No matter encounter what difficulties, we don’t separate.” Teenager’s vow, one day crushed by reality. That day, was our two families darkest moment. Julian father borrowed $500,000 from my dad do business, finally lost everything. Coincide grandpa critically ill urgent need money, so coincident, just lack that 500k. Dad forced Julian father pay back, Julian father desperate, took Julian mother jumped building suicide. Compensation for two lives, was 500k. Dad got money, but grandpa already missed best rescue time. He didn’t save grandpa back, also lost former best friend. I never saw so haggard Julian. So when he found me, I opened mouth first. “Let’s break up.” Julian lowered head, silent for a while. “Okay.” “Father killer’s daughter, I also can’t love down.” Although every sentence is fact, but my heart still stabbed pain. Not long later, Julian sister car accident, surgery fee was 500k. Mom advised Dad: “Lend money to him. Dead can’t resurrect, cherish living people.” Dad threw off Mom hand: “My dad died, his sister what qualification live?” They didn’t know, these words, Julian all heard. Later Julian started from scratch, first thing was force dead my parents. On funeral, he entrusted someone pass words to me. “Mira, this matter not ended.” “You owe my family three lives, still lack one.” So at wedding, Julian asked me dare run away or not, I understood. He came collect debt from me. So after diagnosed terminal illness, I didn’t choose treatment first time. Last life, I plan use myself to pay. Chapter 2 “I see Sister Mira envy terribly, just let her wear enjoy addiction.” Quinn held Julian arm, leaned in his arms act spoiled. “Anyway… not hers, snatch how she also can’t snatch away.” Julian dotingly scraped Quinn nose tip. “You just too kind.” “Who knows what person she is?” Turning to me, Julian voice ice cold. “Take off wedding dress.” “Quinn’s thing, you not worthy touch.” My head burst burst dizzy, stood in place didn’t move. Julian face colder, rushed forward want strip my clothes. Pushing shoving, I coughed out a mouthful blood. Blood dyed on wedding dress, hideous and gorgeous. Seeing blood, Julian subconsciously retreated a step. His voice slightly trembling: “Mira, what you pretending?” “Think sell miserable to me, I will let you go?” I wiped blood on mouth corner, slowly stood up. Difficultly reached hand reach zipper on back. Seeing my action, Julian first stunned, then gritting teeth said. “Have guts you take off ah!” But when zipper about to pull to bottom, Julian intercepted my hand again. “You just so cheap, ask you take off you take off?” I really no strength struggle, let him drag me into changing room. Julian heavily pressed me against fitting mirror, checked me back and forth. “You injured?” His action too rough, I coughed out blood again. He stopped checking, force pinched my face. “Still pretending?” We grew up in one alley, how can I not see his nervousness. Turns out, he still will nervous for me. I looked his eyes, soft voice asked. “Julian, if I die, is it not owe you anymore?” “You die I also won’t let you go.” I weakly smiled: “I won’t die ne.” Doctor said, I now accept treatment still not too late. Julian eyes red: “You should stay by my side, tortured by me lifetime.” His hand suddenly lost strength, volume also lightened. “This is you owe me.” I light laughed where Julian couldn’t see. Julian didn’t know, I already not owe him. That unformed child, paid back last life I owed him. I of course won’t continue stay by his side. I want leave him, go accept treatment. I took advantage Julian let go, escaped from his imprisonment. Julian wanted catch me, outside door rang Quinn voice. “Julian, you guys fine inside right?” Julian looked me once, pushed open changing room door. I silently followed Julian behind. Even Quinn tried hard cover, I still clearly detected resentment in her eyes. She concerned pulled my hand: “Sister Mira, are you uncomfortable somewhere?” Obviously Julian also curious my answer, always use peripheral vision glance me. I shook head. “But… this wedding dress what do?” “Top all blood, wedding dress count scrapped.” Quinn words to me, eyes look Julian. Julian faintly glanced wedding dress on ground. “Italian Haute Couture, $50,000.” “Mira, wedding dress you dirty, then you compensate.” Again 50k. (Original text 500k RMB approx $70k USD, adjusted for flow) Between me and Julian, always can’t leave this number. Once for this money, Julian put down dignity beg everywhere. Now money, to him just light breeze wedding dress money. I looked at blood stained wedding dress on ground. Scarlet on pure white wedding dress extra dazzling. Just like me and Julian feeling, in the end a mess. I nodded: “Okay. I compensate.” Surprised expression simultaneous appeared on Julian and Quinn face. Quinn fake advise: “Sister Mira, you don’t for face hard support, borrow online loan ah.” She looked up, little girl posture looking Julian. “50k to Julian not count what, you beg him, he maybe pay for you.” “If you go borrow online loan, that really in abyss can’t pull back.” Quinn didn’t know. I long in abyss. Chapter 3 Julian face gloomy sent me home. Just entered door, he pushed me on foyer cabinet. Back waist hit on hard edge, faintly painful. Julian fist hammered on wall: “Where you got 50k?” I tilted head, smiling looked him. “Money you gave me, self all forgot?” Julian slightly frown, seemed recalling. “My parents high altitude fall, insurance company compensation accident insurance, is 50k.” “But this exactly accident or not, you clearer than me.” Julian tight expression appeared a crack, fist beside body clenched tighter. He mumbled repeat: “This is you owe me.” Flip back forth, Julian threaten me just these few sentences. I already recite fluently. “I now not owe you.” I pushed away Julian hand: “Three lives, I already paid off.” “Where come three?” I laughed out sound, pushed Julian away fiercely. “You pretending stupid with me?” I step by step approach him. “I kidnapped, experienced whole three hours punch kick, child vividly beaten off.” “This matter, wasn’t you one hand designed?” Julian unbelievable shook head. “I didn’t… I really didn’t know…” I interrupted him: “Julian, you impossible not know.” “Back then I called you, what you said?” Back then kidnapped, I asked kidnapper how willing let me go. Kidnapper dialed Julian phone, put phone by my ear. “If he answer your call, willing save you, we let you go.” Call rarely connected. I just wanted ask help, but lost voice at moment hearing Julian words. “So fast?” “You guys casual play, no need report to me.” Kidnapper put down phone, extended steel pipe to my eyes. “Heard not? Julian let us casual play.” “Harmed dead his whole family, still count on him can save you?” Stick fell time, I heard other voices. “Really naive… person most want you die, is him ah…” Later was nightmare like three hours. Before coma, I asked last sentence. “Who… let you do this?” Vaguely, I seemed hear Julian name. Too late listen detail, I then fainted. Julian face pale.

Fifth year of dating, my boyfriend Julian Vance, who promised to spend Thanksgiving with me, looked apologetic. “Audrey, I have to fly to London to sign a contract, can’t accompany you.” I understood Julian’s busy work, turned around but saw posts on his Finsta (Fake Instagram). [First time visiting father-in-law for Thanksgiving, what should I bring?] [My wifey is tiny and cute, if I bring wrong stuff, she will jump up and hit me.] [I also secretly bought a diamond ring, propose at dinner.] My heart felt sweet, thought he wanted to give me a surprise. But ignored my 5’6″ height, which can’t be counted as tiny anyway. Until Thanksgiving dinner night, my stepsister brought her boyfriend home. I was dumbfounded, because the man in front of me who dared not look me in the eye was exactly my boyfriend. Chapter 1 Stepdad’s house is in the Hamptons villa area, luxuriously decorated, but never had my room. Every time back, I sleep on the folding bed in the maid’s room. Just entered door, I heard Serena’s delicate laughter, “Mom, Julian brought many gifts, come look!” Entered my eyes was familiar slender figure, and the camel coat I bought. My heart beat suddenly accelerated, a burst of pain. Julian’s smile froze when seeing me, pupils constricted. Serena unaware, sweetly leaned on him, “Julian, this is my stepsister Audrey Lin.” “She has weird temper, you don’t need to bother her.” Stepdad’s voice full of pride, “Serena is lucky, found a boyfriend handsome and capable.” “Unlike someone, dating five years, can’t even bring a man back.” This was obviously targeting me. But they didn’t know, the man I wanted to bring home is right in front of them. I stood at foyer, neither enter nor retreat. Serena affectionately held my hand, eyes however full of provocation, “Sister back? Heard your boyfriend can’t come again this year.” “Pity, I still wanted to see.” Mom also looked at me with disgust, “Audrey, not I say you, you are 28, should consider reality.” “I see he just doesn’t like you, no feminine charm at all.” Every time I come back, have to accept a round of trial. I lowered head covering mist in eyes, no longer spoke. Said going abroad for business trip, man who would give me future, at this moment standing beside my stepsister. As her boyfriend identity, meeting my family. I expressionlessly opened mouth, “Hello, Mr. Vance.” Julian’s face whiter a few shades, but dared not look at me. When he passed by me, I smelled the familiar woody cologne. Was the birthday gift I gave him last year. Serena showed off those gifts like showing off trophies, “Julian is so thoughtful, knew Dad loves drinking, specially asked people buy Macallan 25.” “Mom, this is La Mer set and mink coat for you.” “Auntie, your scarf, cousin’s PS5…” Saying, she picked up an exquisite jewelry box, opened in front of everyone. A diamond ring sparkled under light. Serena coquettishly pushed Julian, “I said why you mysterious, turns out prepared propose to me tonight.” Stepdad laughed loud: “Double happiness, Serena found a good home!” Amidst congratulations, I watched their family happy and harmonious like an outsider. I paralyzed on sofa, brain chaos. A chill rushed through whole body, heart cramped with pain. I took out phone, started scrolling Julian’s Finsta. Recent half year posted twenty something posts, all about wifey. [Wifey wanted cake from Uptown, I drove an hour to buy back, she ate like a cute hamster, worth it.] [Accompanied wifey shopping all day, feet about to break, but she looked so beautiful trying clothes.] [Wifey sick, anxious me took leave take care her, cooked porridge she disliked hard to drink, but still obediently drank.] Scrolling one by one, my fingers colder and colder, breathing became difficult. This is not me. Wifey in Julian’s mouth, is my stepsister. When I sick, he only told me drink more hot water on phone. He never accompanied me shopping, said how improper for a big man. Turns out these five years, I was just a joke. Stepdad’s sister, Auntie suddenly spoke, “Audrey, you also don’t be sad.” “Fate this thing can’t force, Serena casually found such good boyfriend, but your standard don’t be too high, almost there is fine.” Cousin took words, “You pick again really leftover, I know a divorced one, although bring a kid, but condition not bad.” They seven mouths eight tongues caring my life event, every word like needle pricking my heart. And Julian, from beginning to end intimately whispering with Serena, didn’t look at me once. I turned fled to kitchen, “I go help serve dishes.” Moment closing kitchen door, my tears finally burst out. My life most beautiful five years, whole heart loved a person, planned future with him. For him, I rejected chance working in Europe, stayed in New York. He wanted sign project, I stayed up late doing proposal; He couldn’t negotiate partner, I fought drinking till stomach bleeding to help him sign. Serena’s voice sounded behind, “Hiding here do what, wouldn’t be feel ashamed right.” I hurriedly wiped tears, turned back expression calm. Serena leaned on door frame, sizing up my red swollen eyes, suddenly laughed, “Sister, your boyfriend wouldn’t be doing Romance Scam right?” “I am worried you being cheated, after all some people specially cheat you this kind older leftover woman, play few years then dump.” Facing her malicious humiliation, I however unable refute. I dead bit lip, until tasted blood taste, “Don’t need your reminder.” I before also didn’t have long memory, really thought she was for my good. Until night before SATs she brought me a cup hot milk. I vomited and diarrhea next day, from prospective Valedictorian became repeater failed exam. Face sweet heart ruthless, saying is Serena. Kitchen door pushed open, Julian stood at door, face ugly said: “Serena, Auntie called you set tableware.” Serena answered, passing Julian stood on tiptoe kissed him, “Hubby perform really good today.” Her sweet and playful look, however made me nauseous want vomit. Wait Serena left, Julian then walked into kitchen closed door. “Audrey, listen me explain.” “Me and Serena already more than half year, I originally wanted tell you breakup earlier, but I afraid you seek life seek death…” I slapped on his face, “Julian Vance, you really make me disgusting.” He deeply looked me once, helplessly warned: “After tonight I will give you compensation, but now you don’t make trouble.” Living room came burst laughter, Thanksgiving dinner started. I deep breath, carried dish walked out. Table already full people, my seat at most edge, next to dog house. Stepdad raised wine glass, “Little Vance, heard your company recently took a big project?” Julian calmly talked with fervor, “Uncle, is cooperation with Lin Group, next year expect bring $200 Million revenue.” Relatives one after another amazed, “Lin Group? That is big corporation!” Stepdad brother drank mouthful wine, “Girl most important is marry well, Serena at once found golden tortoise son-in-law.” Auntie suddenly looked at me, “Audrey, you breakup early, that thrice divorced one I introduced you, although 45, but has three houses!” I sighed, “I don’t need.” Auntie unhappy, “Ungrateful thing, not biological sure enough can’t raise familiar!” Serena leaned head on Julian shoulder, mocked: “Julian, does your company have security or cleaning suitable for sister, person honest is fine.” Julian awkwardly smiled, “I keep an eye.” Atmosphere somewhat stiff. Cousin suddenly pointed me shouted: “I remembered, I saw Sister Audrey in Night Club last time, she wore so exposing, accompanying an old man drink!” Full seat uproar, all relatives eyes contemptuously shot at me. “Real fake?” “Thousand true ten thousand sure, that old man hand all on her leg!” Mom face ugly, unhappy said: “Audrey Lin, what exactly going on?” Stepdad cold snort, “I long said, she same as her gambling biological dad, not walk right path.” I wanted defend, but found simply no one believe me. Cousin more said more energetic, “I even took photo, wait I find…” He just flipping phone, Serena suddenly exclaimed: “I remembered, Julian also said saw sister in club.” “Julian, is it?” Julian holding wine glass knuckles white, Adam’s apple rolled few times, actually slowly nodded. “Yes, I saw.” Auntie sharp voice said: “What job need go club accompany drink, you an outsider don’t lose our old Sullivan family face.” Chapter 2 Cousin proudly showed phone photo, on screen indeed had a woman side face very like me. She wearing black slip dress, sitting beside a bald middle-aged man, but can’t see face clear. “Look, I just said didn’t look wrong,” Mom fierce stood up, lips angry straight trembling, “Audrey Lin, you explain clearly to me!” I wanted loud tell them that not me, but throat like blocked, only could emit broken whimper. Serena hurry got up comfort, “Maybe sister really has some difficulties, now life pressure big, girl want take shortcut also understandable.” Stepdad a slap fanned on my face, “My face all lost by you, you want money can’t open mouth, must go that kind place sell smile!” I pain trembling, mouth corner seeped blood, “That not me, I simply don’t know person in photo!” Cousin held phone to my face, “This hair this figure, not you who else can be, don’t tell me you have a twin sister.” Relatives whispered discussion up: [Really can’t judge person by appearance, usually looking quite decent.] [28 still not married, anxious dig gold bei.] [Back then she failed exam first year, second year actually got into Ivy League, maybe committed self to grading teacher!] Every sentence like knife, slow slicing my dignity. I turned to Julian, “You said you saw me, is when?” He held wine glass hand tight tight, “End of October…” “End of October I was on business trip, why you want lie!” Hearing my question, Serena pout complain, “Julian just tell truth, you fierce him for what, self did disgusting thing still not let people say?” I eye rims red, “I didn’t do wrong thing, is them framing me,” Stepdad sternly interrupted, “Big festival, quarrel what quarrel, if you don’t want stay in this home, roll now!” Mom angry straight pat my arm, “Audrey Lin, you quick apologize to Dad.” I stubbornly looked up, “I no wrong, should apologize is him,” Julian voice dry said: “You don’t make trouble out of nothing.” I coldly looked at him, “Julian Vance, we together five years, exactly who is making trouble?” Serena fierce wide eyes: “Sister what you saying, Julian how possible like you.” I sneered, “We together since university.” “Graduation year I originally want go abroad, was him begged me stay, said we will marry, want give me a future.” “These five years he said want start up business, I helped pull sponsorship; he said want buy house, I took out all savings.” “Result he actually became your boyfriend!” Information volume too big, everyone stunned. Mom unbelievable looking me, “Audrey, is what you said true?” Serena dead grabbed his arm, nails almost pinched into flesh, “Julian, what she said not true right!” Julian forehead sweat fine beads, embarrassed avoided her gaze. Auntie yin yang weird air said: “Turns out is two women fight one husband ah.” “Audrey, not auntie say you, people all chose your sister, you don’t dead pester hard beat, how ugly ah.” Cousin echoed: “Brother Julian condition so good, choose Sister Serena not very normal, she young pretty, family condition also good.” “Sister Audrey you almost thirty, dad not pain mom not love, take what compare?” I interrupted his words, “Is Serena robbed my boyfriend!” Stepdad rage said: “Yourself not chaste, go club accompany drink, Little Vance choose Serena is wise!” Mom pulled me once, small voice beg, “Audrey, don’t say, big festival.” I threw off her hand, accumulated years grievance exploded at this moment, “Why not let me say, small to big your eyes only Serena.” “She buy brand name is should, I buy new clothes is waste; now she robbed my boyfriend, still my fault!” Serena suddenly calm down, “Who robbed who boyfriend still not sure ne.” “You said Julian is your boyfriend, have any evidence? Did he publicize you on social platform?” I stunned. Yes, where I come evidence. Julian never post our photo in Instagram, said he doesn’t like show affection. His friends I never saw, let alone public show affection. I originally thought he used to low key. Now understand, he from beginning didn’t plan give me title. Serena showed a victor smile, “No right, I know you jealous me, but fabricate this kind lie also too pathetic.” She turned hold Julian, “Julian, say yourself, what relationship you and sister before?” Julian silent few seconds, long sighed, “Audrey, we just university classmates, after graduation contact not much.” “I don’t know why you have such misunderstanding, but who I love always only Serena.” He once used this thin lips kissed me countless times, said countless love words to me. At this moment using most calm tone, wiped out our five years feeling. Beat me into erotomania patient admiring him. I sniffed nose, “Dare you look my eyes say again?” He avoided my sight, lowered head said to Serena, “Serena, sorry, let you suffer grievance.” Serena snuggled in his arms, look me eyes flashed proud, “Sister, now what else you have to say?” Relatives started help voice: “Audrey, listen Auntie one advice, hurry go check, is it brain have problem.” “Want not go hospital register a psychiatry department!” Humiliation ridicule voice enter my ear. I like a clown stripped clothes public display, dumbfounded in place. Mom walked up, blame said: “Mom know you jealous Serena, but also can’t ruin people reputation like this ah.” “Quick apologize to everyone, say you are talking nonsense.” Even my biological mom not believe me. I stumbled back, “I am crazy, I am escort girl, you guys satisfied?” Serena fake concerned step forward support me, but whisper in my ear: “You count what thing, play rotten broken shoes also worthy fight with me?” I force pushed her away, Julian angry grabbed wine glass fierce smashed at me. “Audrey Lin, what attitude you have!” My forehead a burst severe pain hit, fresh blood instant gush out. Chapter 3 “These five years, I for so-called love paid everything.” “He while said love me, while talk marriage with my sister!” “Also my dear sister, you clearly knew my relationship with him, still intentional approach him snatch away, now still want step me a foot!” Finally, I looked at full table relatives, “Also you guys, small to big I do what all wrong, just because I am drag oil bottle (burden from previous marriage), not biological?” Mom cried out sound, “Audrey, how can you say such heartless words!” I disappointed looking her, “Mom, since you married into Sullivan family, eyes still have me this daughter?” “My birthday you not remember, I sick time you accompany Serena father daughter vacation, now I pointed nose scold by everyone, you only let me apologize.” Mom stunned, face pale. Stepdad angry whole body tremble, “Beast, you really reverse sky, roll out for me!” I straightened spine, “I will go.” “But before go, I want tell you guys one thing.” “Lin Group Chairman, is my father.” Living room quiet a moment. Immediately laughter exploded pot. Serena laughed back forth lean, “Sister, you wouldn’t smashed silly right? Your that gambler biological dad if is Lin Group Chairman, then I am richest man daughter!” Stepdad sneer, “Big festival say what crazy words, your that biological dad owed a butt debt, ten years ago don’t know die where went.” Auntie shake head, “This child really sick not light.” Julian frown, eyes carrying a trace pity, “Audrey, I know you stimulated, but also can’t for anger Serena, random say anything.” “I didn’t nonsense.” I calmly took out phone, dialed a number, “Uncle Wang, I at City North Villa Area Sullivan home, trouble you come pick me a bit.” Hung up phone, I looked Julian, “Didn’t you just signed Lin Group project?

Assistant Wang straight walked to door, pressed doorbell. Stepdad flustered go open door, “May I ask you find who?” Assistant Wang look not look him, gaze fell on me, slightly bow, “Miss, Chairman let me pick you home.” Whole living room dead like silence.

The new intern Lexi claimed she was diagnosed with a “Self-Love Personality”, everything must prioritize herself first. I led her to work on a Multi-million Dollar Proposal, she directly deleted the most difficult cost analysis page to save trouble. “Calculating this is too tiring, it will generate negative emotions in me, Self-Care is the first rule.” Meeting a big client, she ordered herself top A5 Wagyu Beef, but ordered a Kids’ Meal for the client. “Client has a bad stomach, Kids’ Meal is just right for nursing the stomach, and I don’t want to wrong my own stomach, any problem?” I endured anger to negotiate the contract, but turned around and found she signed my core proposal with her own name. Facing my questioning, she was self-righteous: “Opportunities are originally meant to be fought for by oneself ah.” I laughed in anger. Fine, then cherish the opportunity you fought for yourself well. … Chapter 1 “Lexi, explain the proposal signature.” I slammed the file on her desk, pages curled instantly. She didn’t even lift her head, slowly filing her newly done nails. “Sarah, is there any problem?” I laughed in anger, pointing at the name Lexi on the cover. “I stayed up three nights for this proposal, how did the signature become you?” She blew off the powder on her nails, lifted her face with full makeup. “Sarah, opportunities are originally meant to be fought for by oneself ah.” She added as a matter of course. “Besides, I also helped you format and correct typos, doesn’t count as doing nothing right.” A fire rushed up my chest. “Your formatting, is deleting the most important cost analysis?” “That page was too hard, gave me a headache reading it.” She frowned. “Sarah, people have to practice Self-Care, internal friction for work is not worth it.” In the office, colleagues’ gazes already drifted over. I was just about to speak, Lexi’s eyes turned red, tears fell just like that. “Sarah, I know I’m an intern, but you can’t suppress newcomers like this.” Her volume was not big or small, just enough for the whole office to hear clearly. “I just wanted to contribute more, prove myself, did I do wrong?” She took out her phone, fingers flying. Screen shoved to my face, was a just posted Instagram Story. Picture was her selfie looking like about to cry, caption stinging. “Love yourself, start from rejecting ruthless PUA from workplace seniors. #WorkplaceBullying” Surrounding discussion sounds, instantly rang. “Sarah is too aggressive right, is it necessary to an intern?” “The little girl just wanted to learn more things that’s all.” “Sigh, credit being stolen definitely feels bad, but making a scene like this, is a bit too much.” I felt like I was stripped naked, exhibited in front of everyone. At this time, the Director’s office door opened. Director Johnson walked out with his beer belly: “What’s the noise? Don’t want to work?” Lexi immediately like finding a savior, crying pounced over. “Director Johnson, I just wanted to share Sarah’s burden, make the proposal better, but she… she insisted I stole credit.” Director Johnson patted her shoulder, a face of smoothing things over. “Sarah, what do you calculate with a newcomer, be more generous.” “Newcomer having enthusiasm is a good thing, you have to mentor.” I anxiously explained: “Director Johnson! She deleted the cost analysis page! This will cause big trouble!” Lexi immediately interrupted me, tone hiding pride. “Sarah, you are too anxious, need to grasp the big and let go of the small, creativity is the core.” She turned to look at Director Johnson, tears on face, but eyes full of pride. “Director Johnson, let me lead the presentation for this proposal, I have a good mindset, can better provide positive emotional value to the client.” Director Johnson actually nodded. “Fine, emotional value is very important, Sarah you assist her.” I froze in place, throat tight, couldn’t say a word. Lexi walked back to her seat, stopped when passing me. She picked up the coffee on my desk, poured it directly into the plant next to it. “Sarah, cold coffee hurts stomach, too un-Self-Care, I helped you pour it.” That was the pour-over I just made to refresh myself. Just seeped into the soil, gone. At night, I prepared to copy the original file, but found computer locked. Password error too many times. Lexi came out from the pantry, seeing me like this, covered mouth laughing. “Ouch Sarah, I wanted to help you change a lucky password, who knew your computer is as stupid as you.” She smiled and turned away, expression full of mockery. I stared at the black screen, fist clenched dead tight, nails almost embedded into flesh. Then, I slowly released my fist. Took out phone, pressed recording. Chapter 2 Night before the bid, I stayed in company, last time checking files. When I clicked open the final PPT uploaded by Lexi, blood almost coagulated. The cost analysis page, was still dazzlingly blank. I immediately dialed Lexi’s phone. Ringtone rang for half a minute, finally picked up, background was Spa water flow and light music. “Hello, Sarah?” Her voice lazy, with heavy nasal sound. “Lexi! Why is the cost analysis page still empty!” My voice trembled with anger. Other end of phone came her extremely dissatisfied mumble. “Sarah, I will handle it myself during work hours tomorrow.” “But now is off-work time, first step of Self-Care, is work and life must be separated.” “I’m doing Spa, don’t disturb me.” “Beep——” She directly hung up. Call again, already busy signal. Next day, bidding site. I stood on one side, watching Lexi under spotlight. She talked eloquently, blowing brand resonance into flowers according to the script prepared by company in advance. Client side person in charge, that rigorous middle-aged man Mr. Williams, actually also nodded frequently. Until PPT turned to financial budget. Blank. Whole venue dead silence. Client person in charge’s face instantly sank. “Miss Lexi, where is your cost analysis?” Lexi only stunned for a second, immediately put on a perfect smile. “Mr. Williams, data is cold, but the feeling we can bring you is priceless.” “We pursue soul collision, not number transaction.” Mr. Williams laughed out loud by these words. He “Snap” closed laptop, stood up. “Director Sarah, this is your company’s professionalism?” “A multi-million dollar project, don’t even have the most basic cost breakdown?” “Cooperation ends here, your company, permanent blacklist.” Every word, was like a slap on my face. Director Johnson’s face swelled into pig liver color. I rushed onto stage, bowed deeply to Mr. Williams. “Mr. Williams, sorry! Please give us another five minutes!” I grabbed whiteboard marker, relying on memory of staying up several nights, quickly wrote core costs. Manpower, materials, channels, risk fund… Numbers poured out like carved in brain. Huge pressure and fatigue of sleepless night, made stomach cramp in waves, eyes black. Finished writing last number, my legs soft, almost fell. Lexi then walked over slowly, stood aside, too lazy to even extend a hand. She not only had no trace of apology, instead said to Mr. Williams who already walked to door: “This gentleman, I think you should manage your emotions, getting angry so easily, is bad for body.” Mr. Williams’ back stiffened, disappeared at door without looking back. Director Johnson finally exploded, grabbed folder on table, fiercely smashed at my feet. “Sarah! How do you lead people! Company face all lost by you!” I haven’t opened mouth, Lexi snatched first step, crying tone came out. “Director Johnson, was Sarah taught me to grasp big let go small, I then deleted those unimportant details.” “I thought she as person in charge, would check at last.” I angry whole body trembling: “You lying!.” “Sarah, I have chat records.” She took out phone, made posture to flip. Director Johnson impatiently waved hand interrupted. “Enough! Sarah, major work mistake, suspended for reflection! This quarter bonus all deducted!” He turned to Lexi, face actually eased down. “Although Lexi lacks experience, but mentality is very stable. Follow up matter of comforting client, you follow up.” I froze in place like drained of all strength. Lexi walked to me, took out a sheet mask from her branded bag, stuffed into my hand. “Sarah, face all yellow, skin management is also part of Self-Care oh.” She leaned to my ear, used voice only we can hear said. “This bonus, just treat as paying tuition, buy a lesson.” Chapter 3 Second day of suspension, Director Johnson’s call smashed over, tone was command. “Sarah, return to company immediately! Mr. Zhao side loosened mouth, willing to meet, you take Lexi to apologize!” Mr. Zhao, the boss of that Mr. Williams, billionaire group owner. Able to make him turn back, presumably company spent big money. I rushed to company, Lexi already dressed up flower branch tremble. “Sarah, I booked the restaurant, absolutely fits our life aesthetics.” She winked at me, full of confidence. I didn’t speak, followed her into car. Restaurant located by river, top tier, every place revealed expensive. Mr. Zhao already arrived, sitting alone by window, face gloomy. I fast stepped forward, just about to open mouth apologize. Lexi however snatched first step, pulled chair sat down, action elegantly poured herself a cup of lemon water. “Waiter, one portion A5 Wagyu Beef, medium rare.” She finished ordering, closed menu, then picked up another menu from table. “Mr. Zhao,” she said with a tone of utmost care. “I can feel, your energy field is very tight, full of anxiety and fatigue.” “Eat this for health, light, good for you.” Saying ordered a cheapest Kids’ Meal. Air solidified. Lexi as if unaware, continue preaching like opening mouth. “Money can’t be earned finish, but a healthy soul is priceless. Today, we don’t talk work, only talk feelings.” Then, she turned menu to me, smile amiable. “Sarah, you also order one, don’t always think about pleasing others wronging yourself, women need to treat themselves better.” Mr. Zhao’s face was already very ugly. My brain buzzed, reason completely disconnected. To save situation, I suddenly stood up, lifted the decanter filled with high degree white liquor on table. “Mr. Zhao, it’s my fault, I didn’t lead subordinate well, let her speak so much nonsense!” “I punish myself three cups, apologize to you!” Voice not fallen, I raised head drank three cups in a row. Strong liquor like fire, burned from throat all way into stomach, severe pain instantly tightened my internal organs. Mr. Zhao’s face slightly eased, but still didn’t open mouth. I gritted teeth, filled three cups again. “Please you, give us another chance!” Six cups down stomach, I felt whole stomach turning rivers and seas. In blurred vision, I saw Lexi not only didn’t stop, instead took out phone, aimed at my embarrassed look. She opened TikTok, edited caption. “Taking senior to see world, she only knows using way of hurting body to talk business, really pathetic.” “New era women, should learn to solve problems elegantly. #WorkplaceWisdom #SelfCare” Mr. Zhao finally stood up. He didn’t even look at Lexi once, just deeply looked at me once. “Sarah, person you brought, today really opened my eyes.” Finished, he left without looking back. I couldn’t hold anymore, fiercely rushed to restroom, knelt before toilet vomiting sky dark earth dark. Stomach spasm one wave more violent than another, I pain cold sweat direct flow, even waist couldn’t straighten. Lexi stepped on high heels walked in, looking down at me high above. She handed a tissue, tone full of coquettish complaint. “This client really no taste, don’t understand energy and magnetic field at all, seriously affected my mood enjoying Wagyu.” I took tissue, wiped dirty stuff on mouth corner, raised head. In mirror, my face pale as paper. All humiliation, pain and anger, congealed at this moment. Back to company, I became everyone’s joke. “Heard? Sarah angered Mr. Zhao away, herself even drank to vomit.” “That intern she led is the god, dared treat Mr. Zhao Kids’ Meal!” Director Johnson called me into office, a suspension notice slammed on my face. “Roll home reflect!” I said nothing, packed things, left in countless eyes watching show. I locked myself at home. Company annual proposal design award review is about to begin. This is my only chance to flip the table. I called out all project data handled in few years, combined latest market trend, stayed up several nights. A brand new proposal formed in my hands. Suspension ended, I returned to company, everyday gray head dirt face sitting in corner. I crazy overtime, office light always lit for me. Same time a pair of eyes spying in darkness. Finally, a late night, I slept on table. Hand side, placed a black USB Drive. Label wrote: Final Proposal (Top Secret). Office surveillance, coincidentally broke few days ago, under repair. I buried in arm bend, peripheral vision glimpsed a figure. Lexi. She tiptoed walked to my desk, quickly pulled out USB Drive, disappeared in darkness. Next day, I collapsed making scene in office. “My USB Drive missing! Proposal I prepared for competition stolen!” Lexi sat aside, slow orderly applying hand cream, tone cool thin. “Sarah, did you forget where put yourself? Age big, memory bad also normal.” I saw pride couldn’t hide in her eyes bottom. Looks like she already found someone cracked password. Chapter 4 Annual Award Review Meeting. Company high levels all present. Host voice just fell, Lexi first raised hand. “Leaders, I have an epoch-making proposal, will bring subversive profit growth to company!” She stepped confident steps up stage, plugged in USB Drive. That was exactly the one I lost. PPT lit up, title was: 《Self-Careism Business —— Detonating Profit New Era》. Signature: Lexi. She talked eloquently, big talk online community pre-sale, member points leverage, consumption capitalization… A series operation sounded flowers falling from sky. Director Johnson watched two eyes shining light, body involuntarily leaned forward. Lexi’s voice echoed in conference room. “This is me practicing Self-Careism, in most relaxed, most self-loving state, researched new business model!” I sat under stage, face pale, body uncontrollably trembling. Surroundings cast countless sympathetic gazes. Lexi finished presentation, whole venue applause thunderous. Director Johnson stood up on spot, excitedly announced: “Lexi, convert to regular immediately! I appoint you as Deputy Director of Creative Department!” He turned to me, face sank: “Sarah, repeatedly make mistakes, thinking rigid, transfer to Admin Department responsible for miscellaneous duties immediately, reflect well!” Whole venue uproar. Lexi walked down stage amidst congratulations, straight came to me. She high above, extended finger painted bright red polish, frivolously patted my face. Action extreme insult. “Sarah, person has to consider for self, opportunity has to fight by self.” “This proposal, I accept with smile.” I raised head staring her. Slowly hooked mouth corner, soft voice opened mouth. “Lexi, you said right, person has to consider for self.” Lexi probably thought I accepted fate, proudly opened mouth: “Now understand my advanced thought?” Voice not fallen. Conference room heavy door fiercely pushed open. Several men wearing uniform, expression serious walked in. Leading person eyes like lightning, scanned whole venue. “Who is Lexi?” “We received report, you suspected Illegal Fundraising and Commercial Fraud.” Smile on Lexi’s face froze. Whole venue applause and congratulation sound, stopped abruptly. Everyone’s gaze, uniform nailed on those few uniformed personnel suddenly broke in. “I… I am Lexi.” Her voice trembling, eyes panicked. “Did you guys mistake? What commercial fraud?” Leading officer didn’t care her, gaze turned to me: “Is you called police?” I stood up from seat, nodded. “Yes, officer.” “I report Lexi, stole my commercial proposal, and attempted use this proposal conduct illegal fundraising.” Lexi instantly screamed: “You blood mouth spray people! Sarah, this is proposal I thought myself!” “You thought yourself?” I sneered, pressed video play button. Lexi sneaky walked into my office, pulled USB Drive while I slept. Lexi’s face, blood color instantly faded clean. Director Johnson completely confused, he pointed PPT on stage. “Then what problem this proposal has? I looked, very creative, profit very high!” I looked at Director Johnson, gaze ice cold. “Director Johnson, did you understand?” “This so-called business closed loop, essence is a Ponzi Scheme.” “Use new member prepayment, to pay old member so-called dividend, once capital chain breaks, company immediately carry huge debt.” “This is a logic trap that once started, will touch criminal law.” Sound of sucking cold air in conference room. Lexi crazy shook head: “No! I don’t know! This has no relation with me!” “Of course you don’t know.” I step by step walked to her, voice not loud, but word word punish heart. “Your eyes only have profit doubling, only thinking reach sky one step.” “For your interest, you didn’t even bother look at most basic legal risk.” “More importantly,” I paused. “To sit solid credit completely, you yesterday afternoon, already took this proposal stamped with your private seal, went tax department did project filing, right?” Lexi’s body violently swayed, almost collapsed. She impatiently walked official procedure, tied herself and this fraud proposal, firmly dead together. Officer stepped forward, showed a document: “Lexi, we have retrieved filing record from relevant department.” “This business plan submitted in your personal name, suspected constitute commercial fraud crime, please follow us back assist investigation.” “No! Is she framed me! Is Sarah!” Lexi completely collapsed, pointing me hysterically roaring. I face expressionless, pressed phone again. Another recording rang. “Opportunity has to fight by self.” “This proposal, I accept with smile.” Her self-righteous voice, in dead silent conference room appeared incomparable ironic. Director Johnson face from red turn white, lips trembling, pointing Lexi, couldn’t say a word. Two officers stepped forward, one left one right held her. Cold handcuffs, cuffed that hand just patted my face. “No! Let go me! I just want love myself! What wrong I have!” She was dragged out conference room, crazy crying shout gradually dissipated in corridor. I looked direction she disappeared, slowly exhaled a mouthful turbid air.

Why on her body?” His movement paused, subconsciously looked outside RV. “Why you took her clothes?” “Weather so cold, what if she sick? She birthday want a gift, I see she like this one very much, so gave her.” His tone matter of course. “You clothes so many, also can’t wear finish, reward little girl what problem?” I looked up at him. “Gavin Chase, I am your fiancée, not your private property.” “Take my things, shouldn’t you ask my opinion first?” She poor, is her business. Based on what I bear her life. Moreover, she has what worthy reward thing? He didn’t coax me, instead frowned, face full disapproval. “Winter, this clothes I bought.” “Even give you, that is also money I spent, who I want give, is my freedom.” That moment, my throat like blocked by something. Clearly when engaged, was him said, every day he is here, don’t want me spend a cent myself, expensive to jewelry, cheap to a pair socks, all want him pay. Now only how long, start divide so clear. He saw my eye rims red, finally still soft hearted, hugged me. “Winter, blame me.” “Don’t calculate with Summer, her sister back in school, was only one didn’t bully me, I just want repay kindness.” This words hearing ears grow callus. “You want repay kindness, take her to your company, be assistant for you, I here can’t afford!” Half hour ago, I already notified agent, fire Summer. Now, she should already know. Sure enough, outside RV came her out of control crying sound. Gavin went out a trip, came back face worse. “She just want a job, live well!” “You use ‘incompetent’ this reason fire her, isn’t want cut her road? This bit tea pouring water work, what incompetent!” This is second time, for this assistant, fire at me. I like pushed into ice water again, trembling all over. “Gavin Chase, you for an outsider, quarrel with me?” He didn’t answer. Just grabbed that coat, head not back rushed out. Chapter 2 Summer was coaxed well. Not only that, Gavin even used resources, directly arranged a female number five role for her in my drama. When he settled all this, I was lying in hotel alone with fever, legs suffered cold move a bit like needle pricking pain. Past broken leg fear surged heart. I put down all pride, called him three times, but all stone sink ocean. Later, I muddle headed lay on bed, couldn’t figure out where we exactly went wrong. 2 AM, door pushed open. Gavin came back, body carrying faint flower scent, mood obviously very good. He haven’t time walk to my side, outside rang gentle knock door sound again. “Gavin brother, I think still want say clear with you, I really don’t need you special care, I can self reliance, I not afraid eat bitter.” “Also, this clothes… I really can’t want.” In tone, hide not住 (can’t hide) grievance. “You said as birthday gift give me before, I really very happy, just didn’t expect provoke Sister unhappy, she angry fired me… I suffer bit grievance okay, but I don’t want implicate you scolded.” Gavin voice obviously soft down, carrying unabashed heartache. “Things sent out, where have reason take back.” “Just now didn’t agree well? Since she not let you be assistant, you also like acting, then go be actor, I invest for you, pave road for you, you peace mind act, don’t think much.” Summer lifted head, eye rims red, but still stubbornly stiff neck. “Thank you Gavin brother, career I will hard work, but this clothes since is Sister’s, better return her… later still in one crew, I don’t want be targeted again.” Gavin silent few seconds. “Summer, don’t be silly.” “True climb up, is learn borrow force, not guard useless backbone, Winter seniority deep, acting good, you learn more from her, accumulate more resources.” “As for these clothes, she has plenty, just angry with me, you rest assured wear.” He paused, added a sentence: “Actor needs packaging, that card I gave you, rest assured swipe, buy more decent clothes.” Voice fell, he pulled that coat from her arms, gently draped on her. “Wear it, don’t catch cold.” I closed eyes, but heard clear clear. That clothes, should be Red Carpet dress prepared for me. Door closed. Gavin turned, met my gaze, obviously stunned. “Awake?” I didn’t speak, just quietly looked at him. He like realized something, explained matter of course. “Little girl condition not bad, eat this bowl rice not loss, later you bring her more, also count repay kindness for me.” Tone gentle like discussing a most ordinary small matter. “I explained clear with you, later don’t random jealous, I am innocent.” I suddenly felt bit absurd. “I never heard want repay kindness like this, don’t know thought she saved your life.” “Enough, Winter! You now already jealous to can’t tolerate a person long died?” I roared bit dumb. Although long knew that girl is taboo, but him so angry never had. This period he unusually busy. We haven’t seen for half month, this time if not Summer, I even may not see his face. I wanted say something, but itch surging in throat let me finally closed mouth. Three days later, I finished event, back to crew again. Just arrived set, saw Summer. She wearing a set red tight dress, standing there, expression public. I looked down at Flying Pages (last minute script) sent, only felt absurd, drama about to finish, actually added dozens scenes for a zero experience newcomer alone. “Congrats Sister winning award.” She looked at me smiled obedient, “Later still need guide me more ya.” I already changed costume, feet wearing props high heels poked with nails, stood long feet bottom pain. “I can’t teach you, change person.” I sideways want go, but grabbed by her. “Sister, do you look down on us non-professional background people?” I looked up at her. She like long prepared this set rhetoric, word by word, said extra loud. “I don’t want be misunderstood.” “Don’t want be said rely on man canary.” “Me and Gavin brother are innocent, you no need use fire, report this way deal with me.” “Since you so mind, better we fair compete once, see who more brilliant in this drama.” I almost unstable. “Your business irrelevant to me, I also don’t want participate this childish game.” Summer gently laughed once. “Sister, always like this high above?” “You never lived bitter days, simply don’t know what called true embarrassed.” “Distress in drama, you can’t act out.” “But I can.” “This time, I definitely will shine.” Chapter 3 Before official shooting, director found me. “Today this scene heavier.” He said vague, eyes full helpless, “Investor named, hard work you cooperate.” I swept a glance. [Heroine forced to desperate situation, hysterical quarrel with villain, in panic slapped by villain.] Scene not long, all Summer highlight scene. I haven’t opened mouth, she already stood opposite me, smiled obedient and docile. “Sister, I first time shoot this emotion scene, maybe want more takes, you bear more.” She said so mouth, eyes however no half apology. Take One. “Action.” She raised hand, slap fell. Slap. Sound crisp. I stunned a moment. This hit, usually is borrow force plus position, simply won’t really hand on. Director didn’t shout cut. She however low voice sucked breath, eye rims rapidly red, then interrupted shooting. “Sorry director, I just didn’t find right state.” Take Two. This time, she hand heavier. Slap. My tongue tip hit teeth, blood taste spread in mouth. Director frowned, but still didn’t call stop. “Another one.” Take Three, Take Four. She every time said self “emotion not in place”, or not walk down scene. Every time, hand fell harder than previous. My cheek start numb, ear buzz ringing. People around start exchange eyes, whole set incomparable quiet, but no one speak. She is “Newcomer”, is “One being taken care”. And I, am “Senior”, am “Should endure” that one. Take Five. Moment she raised hand, I finally couldn’t hold. A grab her wrist, backhand! Slap. This slap, solid solid. Someone on set emit a exclaim. She whole person trend fell back, arm heavy hit metal edge of prop cabinet. “Ah!” Blood, immediately gushed out. Summer fell sit on ground, only stunned a second, immediately burst cry. “Sister… you no need so target me right…” “I just newcomer, those all script arrangement, I just want good act that’s all…” “You even dislike me, also no need down so heavy hand ah…” Crying sound echoed in studio. I stood in place, palm still numb. Director finally reacted, shouted cut. Someone rushed over help her, someone call medic. That night, this video cut head cut tail sent on Trending. [Post-award Set Out of Control, Violent Beating Newcomer Actor] Video no background sound. Only my that slap, and picture she fell crying. Comment section one side fall.

Turns out previous bad person acted so good, all true color act ah!] All old debts, dug out in a brain. I just prepared post statement, agent haven’t finished typing, door pushed open. Gavin face ugly. “Winter are you crazy?” He grabbed my arm, hand strength big, pinched me very pain. “Filming only, you as to down so ruthless hand? Little girl arm almost disfigured, do you know?” I didn’t speak. Just slowly moved ice bag on face away. Swollen cheek exposed under light. He stunned a bit. Tone finally slow down. “…She is newcomer, don’t know measure.” “You are senior, can’t you let a bit?” I laughed once. “I still want how let, send this side face up let her slap happy?” I put tablet on table, click open a folder. “This is set complete surveillance.” “I long let people backup.” Picture clear, timeline complete. Gavin face changed. “Can’t post!” He immediately reach hand press screen. “She just entered industry, you release this, her whole life ruined.” “Not debut yet bully senior, to a newcomer is fatal.” I looked at him, suddenly felt very strange. “Then me?” He opened mouth.
