2024-10-29 19:42:56Percival returned to the hospital after dealing with Cassius.
His grim face softened a bit when he saw Eulalia, who was still unconscious.
“What’s taking her so long to wake up?”
The doctor explained, “We found sedatives in her bloodstream, and she’s been through a shock. She’ll probably wake up tomorrow.”
Hearing the word ‘sedatives,’ a shiver ran up Percival’s spine. His heart tightened and loosened, tightened again. He didn’t want to think about what could have happened to Eulalia if he had arrived even a minute later.
Percival hadn’t even had time to change; his shirt was stained with blood. The doctor suggested, “Sir, why don’t I stay here with the lady while you go change?”
Only then did Percival notice the blood on his clothes. “I’ll have my assistant bring me something,” he said.
The doctor nodded, gave a few more instru

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was injured, Percival would really want to give Eulalia a good shake—perhaps even a harsh spanking. Teach her the painful lessons of real life so that she’d think twice before recklessly risking her life again. However, the conflicting swirl of thoughts in his mind belied the deep concern he felt for her. The truth was, he simply couldn’t bring himself to lay a hand on her in her current state.As Eulalia stirred awake, the weight that had been bearing down on his heart finally lifted. She was conscious, and that gave him a sense of relief.Gradually, Eulalia’s initially calm expression turned into one of annoyance. She never knew Percival could talk this much; it was as if two flies had entered her ears and were incessantly buzzing.“My throat’s dry...” Eulalia interrupted him, her voice hoarse.At once, Percival ceased his rambling and went to fetch water. After wetting a cloth to the right temperature, he helped Eulalia sit up carefully. The wound

After finishing her soup, Eulalia reclined on her bed, twirling her spoon aimlessly. Her mind was too restless for sleep, so she decided that talking was the lesser of two evils.“Where is Cassius now?” she finally asked, her voice tinged with boredom.“Handled,” Percival responded. His voice was devoid of emotion, but his eyes betrayed a chill when he mentioned Cassius. He had been hoping that Eulalia would be the one to bring up the ‘indenture contract’ they’d signed, but all he got in return was an indifferent ‘Oh’ from her. Realizing she wasn’t going to say more, he decided to continue.“I tore up that contract you signed. Cassius won’t come sniffing around you anymore. Your brother won’t be in trouble either,” Percival offered, trying to gauge her reaction.Her face changed instantly. “Whether he’s in trouble or not has absolutely nothing to do with me at
Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead Evidence of Infidelity
Eulalia frowned, her mind a whirlpool of anxiety. Percival must’ve thought of all this already. If the video she had couldn’t make a dent, she had no clue how she’d win this case.Everyone knew Percival was cheating, but when it came to evidence, she had nothing concrete—no intimate photos or videos of him with Evadne.And Percival’s feelings for Evadne? Totally unreadable. If he really loved her, why wouldn’t he give her a proper title?“Ms. Clearwater, there’s no such thing as a guaranteed win in court,” the lawyer paused, adding, “And keep in mind, Percival might try to bribe the judge.”Given Percival’s standing in Windwatch, it was entirely possible. Percival’s M.O. was never to fight a battle he wasn’t sure he’d win.Eulalia felt her spirits sink further. She had already braced for the worst. “What if I just... crash headfirst in the courtroom if the judge rules against the divorce?” she croaked, sipping her bitter coffee.The lawyer looked stunned. “Well, that’s... extreme.”He

“Next Wednesday is my divorce hearing with Percival. I need you to testify for me,” Eulalia got straight to the point.With just that one sentence, Eulalia had spent an entire afternoon contemplating. The idea of asking Evadne to testify that Percival had been cheating with her was almost laughable.“Testify about what?” Evadne asked.“To prove that Percival has been with you for the past four years.”“So you want me to testify that Percy cheated on you?”“Yep.”“Eulalia, are you out of your mind?” Evadne finally snapped. Asking her to testify about Percival’s infidelity was like announcing to the world that she was the other woman.Eulalia tried to reason with her, “Don’t you want to marry Percival? If you help me, you’ll be the next in line once we’re divorced.”“Eulalia, are you here to rub it in my face?”Eulalia was taken aback. She was being honest and actually trying to negotiate, but now it sounded like she was bragging?“I’m not rubbing anything in your face. I genuinely want

“So, I was just guessing, but now that you’ve confirmed it... Do you know what happened to Cassius the night he was rushed to the hospital?” Sarah’s cherubic face broke into a slight smile as if she found something amusing. Yet, the words coming out of her mouth sent chills down one’s spine.“He was covered in blood, slashed all over...” Sarah’s eyes sparkled as she recounted the gruesome details, her smile deepening. She was practically acting it out.“Stop, just stop. You’re making me nauseous,” Eulalia interrupted.Sarah’s lips tightened, and after a few seconds, her excitement faded, replaced by her usual aloof demeanor.Eulalia immediately suspected Percival was behind Cassius’s ordeal. The thought of his ruthless methods made her face stiffen.“You look pale. Scared much?” Sarah nudged Eulalia’s shoulder.“Must be the cold,” Eulalia touched her icy face, her hand trembling.“Want to take some meds?” Sarah offered, getting up to fetch a cup of warm water.Eulalia read the instruc

Eulalia found herself running dangerously low on funds. Sarah, sensing her friend’s financial strain, cautiously broached the subject, “Do you want to visit him after the surgery is done?”“No, I’d rather not,” Eulalia responded, her voice tinged with a sadness she couldn’t quite mask. “Of all the people Benedict would want to see right now, I’m probably at the bottom of that list.”She paused, contemplating her next words carefully. “People are at their most vulnerable right after surgery. The last thing I want to do is add more stress to his already fragile state.”“Could you arrange for a dedicated nurse to look after him? As for the medical expenses, I won’t be covering those. Benedict got ten million from Cassius just last week. He should be fine.”“But if he does run out of money,” she added, almost as an afterthought, “give me a call.”

Percival shot Oliver a glance, his eyes icy and unreadable. Oliver met his gaze and felt a shiver run down his spine. He tightened his shoulders, trying to shake off the unease. “Do you think we should explain things to Eulalia?” he ventured, attempting to change the subject.“Explain what?” Percival’s voice was as cold as his gaze.“That you didn’t actually chop off her brother’s hand, obviously,” Oliver replied, his voice tinged with nervousness.Percival squinted, his eyes narrowing. “She’s already convinced that I did it. What good would explaining do?” He paused, reflecting on his own actions. “I guess I’ve brought this upon myself. If I hadn’t been using her brother Benedict as a threat against her all this time, she wouldn’t have jumped to such conclusions.”Oliver nodded, sensing the weight of Percival’s regret. “Why don’t you have someone investigate who actually did it?”“Alright, I’ll get on it,” Oliver said, preparing to leave the room.“Wait,” Percival interrupted, his fa

“He’s got a wife at home but still plays the field? And that’s not enough, he wants his wife to legally transfer their child to his mistress?”Percival’s gaze remained steady, unfazed. He had anticipated that Eulalia would release this video.His eyes deepened, intrigued, as he glanced at Eulalia. “What does a video prove? It was a heated moment, and the woman beside me is just my sister—my mom’s goddaughter. If the judge doesn’t believe me, she can testify herself. I’ve brought her here.”Eulalia’s breathing became labored, as if the oxygen had been sucked out of the room. Her face paled under the lights. She hadn’t expected Percival to bring Evadne to court to testify that he hadn’t cheated, let alone use the excuse of a “god-sister.”All eyes turned to a secluded corner where Evadne stood up, her voice hoarse: “Yes, there’s nothing inappropriate

Eulalia gently stroked the singed fur of the ragdoll cat, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her gray eyes were filled with moisture, stinging painfully.Her eyes were either unable to cry or unable to stop once they started. Now they seemed almost blind with grief. She tilted her head back, veins bulging in her neck, mouth slightly open and eyes tightly shut as she let out a hoarse, anguished cry.Her choked, raspy voice was broken, like a rusty knife scraping against a whetstone - so harsh and painful to hear that it made one's heart clench.Victor's eyes were red too, but he turned away silently.

As much as she wanted to block out the world, cruel voices kept invading Eulalia's ears. Misty wasn't just a cat; she had saved Eulalia's life. They had promised to be together forever. Misty was family, a lifeline in her darkest moments, a light in the shadows.Eulalia's voice was hoarse, her tear-choked words barely intelligible as she called out "Misty" over and over. The pain in her chest was unbearable, desperately needing something to fill the void.

Eulalia's hands trembled as she reached out to touch Misty's wounded body. Her hands came away bloody. Ropes had cut deeply into Misty's limbs, and blood covered the cat's body, tail, paws, and head."Misty..." Eulalia's eyes were terrifyingly red, dry from the intensity of her grief. The pain was so extreme she couldn't even cry.In a daze, Eulalia somehow managed to untie the ropes binding Misty. All she could see were the burn wounds on Misty's skin and the blood oozing from four small punctures in the cat's mouth. Misty's sharpest fangs had been viciously pulled out. How much agony had Misty endured?"Misty, I'm here now. Look at me. Didn't we promise to always be together?" Eulalia's body shook as she cradled the bloodied cat. "I'll cancel all my work... I'll stay by your side from now on. I'll never leave you with anyone else again. Please, just hang on a little longer..."Misty lay in Eulalia's arms, struggling to open her eyes at the sound of Eulalia's voice.It's Eulalia... E

Barry noticed the collar around the cat's neck and tried to cut it off with a knife, but it wouldn't budge. Frustrated, she gave up—she couldn’t waste time on a collar.Gripping the cat's jaw, she forced its mouth open, grabbing its sharp teeth with pliers. "You want to bite me? I’ll pull out every last tooth and see if you try that again."Misty trembled, lying helpless on the ground, bound and unable to move. After all, it was just a cat—no way to beg for mercy.Barry's eyes darkened, and with a sharp tug, a sickening crack rang out, like bones being torn from flesh. Misty's scream filled the air."Meow..." Blood spilled from the cat's mouth, staining its once-pristine fur. Misty lay there, defeated, and in that moment, all it could think about was Eulalia."I just wanted to spend more time with you... I wanted to see you again…"...After dinner, Eulalia was told to get ready for the next scene. She glanced at the door, feeling uneasy—Jane hadn't returned yet. Eulalia called her, a

Eulalia took the phone Jane handed her and attached the tracking device to Misty’s collar. “Misty's well-behaved; she won't run off.” “I know, but just in case… too many people dislike me. If they can’t get to me, they might target Misty. A tracker at least adds some safety.” Eulalia focused on the device, missing the brief flicker in Jane’s expression. Jane pressed her lips together, hesitating like she wanted to say something, but held back. “All done,” Eulalia returned the phone, noticing Jane still looked tense. She ruffled her hair. “If something’s on your mind, tell me, don’t bottle it up.” “I…” Jane started, then glanced at Misty in her arms, “I’m fine, really.” “Alright, if you say so.” Eulalia could sense something off, but couldn’t quite place it. Maybe Jane had issues at home these past few days. It wasn’t her place to pry if Jane didn’t want to talk.Just then, Reid called, telling Eulalia to get ready for her scenes.

Percival’s heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows at the thought of Eulalia in bed with Victor. It was only 1 a.m. when he glanced at the clock, and he reached under his pillow for the wedding photo of him and Eulalia. In the picture, she smiled cautiously, her dimples soft, eyes gentle. The photo wasn’t big, but he pressed it to his chest alongside the well-worn journal he often read, then lay back down.That night, he didn’t dream. But when he woke, his eyes were damp, his face sticky with tears that left his skin stinging.As a cancer patient, Percival's body was weak, and he often caught colds easily. The open window and a night of cold wind, combined with the emotional breakdown after seeing the picture Victor posted, left him feverish.The housekeeper was the first to notice and rushed to inform Mr. Lee, who promptly called for a doctor.

Eulalia had never seen a post about herself deleted so quickly before.She sat cradling Misty in one arm, absently fingering the tag on the cat's collar. After a few minutes, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number:"Eulalia, I don't want you as a replacement anymore. Stay by my side and I can protect you. Percival is ruthless - if you want a better life, stay far away from that madman."Eulalia frowned as she read the message. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard to reply "Go to hell," but she thought better of it and deleted the draft. There was nothing worth saying to someone like Trent. She blocked the number and set up a custom auto-reply instead.Meanwhile, Trent was anxiously awaiting Eulalia's response. He thought he had made himself clear - surely the small-town girl would get the hint. But after half an hour of silence, doubt crept in. Had she not seen the message? Or was she too afraid to reply?He sent another text:"If you come back to me obediently, I'm will
