Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead I've Seen All Your Tricks
Summer cicadas can't survive winter's cold. Once you miss your chance, you'll never get it again."What do you mean?" Rain soaked Percival's face, droplets clinging to his eyelashes. He looked at Eulalia through half-closed eyes. No one noticed his hands trembling slightly, as if he was enduring something. He clenched his fists.Eulalia held her umbrella, full of mockery: "It means I never planned on forgiving you from the start. I don't even want to see you. Get it?"Percival's lips quivered. The rain didn't feel like water anymore, but like millions of needles stabbing his body. Everything hurt.Last night when Oliver told him Eulalia was lying, he'd already guessed this outcome. He just couldn't face it, couldn't admit it. What kind of overconfidence made him think Eulalia would really forgive him? That they could go back to how things were?Go back to how things were?He'd forgotten - he and Eulalia were a mistake from the beginning. They were never good.A chill crept up his spin

The driver's door opened and Oliver got out. He looked at Eulalia with a complex expression. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "Mrs. Dunraven."Eulalia frowned. "Oliver, the Eulalia from back then died in that big fire. Even if she hadn't been burned to death, she and Percival divorced long ago. I really don't want you to call me like that."Oliver lowered his head, not daring to meet Eulalia's sharp gaze. "I'm sorry."This apology was for both his slip-up just now and for his cold indifference as a bystander back then."Ms. Clearwater, what I'm about to say might be a bit much, but I still want to say it. I hope you can give the boss another chance. He truly knows he was wrong. In the three years you've been gone, he's been living a life worse than death. Last night, he almost died trying to find the hair tie you casually threw into the river..."Eulalia clicked her tongue. "What a pity that he didn't."Her words were tinged with sarcasm and gloom. "If you think it's g

Percival was rushed to the emergency room and only came out nearly two hours later, hooked up to various tubes, with an oxygen mask over his nose and a clip on his finger to monitor blood oxygen.To be honest, although Oliver always knew Percival's health was poor, he never imagined it had gotten this bad - even his heart was having problems now.The attending physician came out with a stack of papers for the family to sign."His family isn't here. I'm his assistant - can I sign instead?" Oliver asked.The doctor adjusted his foggy glasses and said, "His condition is so serious and his family isn't here?"Oliver didn't want to explain Percival's family situation, so he just gave an awkward smile. The doctor's grave expression made Oliver nervous."Can I see his medical records?" Oliver asked."Sure. Let me explain his condition to you in detail first. When he wakes up, we'll have him sign and give a fingerprint."The doctor pulled up the computer and input the patient information, bri

Percival froze. His chest still felt dully painful. He pressed a hand to it, looking up at Oliver with dark eyes, taking in his nervous, worried, extremely complex expression.A sense of unease rose in him. He had a feeling Oliver was hiding something major.What did he mean, "You'll die"?Oliver had nagged him about this for three years, telling him to take care of his health or he'd die.He'd never taken it seriously before. He was already living a life worse than death, wishing more than anyone that he could die quickly.But hearing Oliver say those words now made him pause. A chill ran down his spine in an instant."What do you mean?"Oliver couldn't meet Percival's questioning gaze. His eyes darted around. After a long moment, he let go of Percival and opened a drawer, taking out the medical report. He carefully placed it on the blanket.Percival had seen many such reports before, but most were Eulalia's. He rarely saw his own.He read the report over and over, his body going num

Back then, Eulalia's hand bone was directly fractured by the ashtray. It took nearly four months to heal, and during that recovery period, he still dragged her to the hospital to draw blood for Evadne.Both memories and reality were too bleak. He tried to think of some happy times he had with Eulalia, but he couldn't come up with any. The only bit he could think of was stolen from when Eulalia had lost her memory.Those few months when Eulalia had amnesia were probably the happiest days he'd had in over a decade. Percival thought of Eulalia lying in his arms, laughing and blushing shyly. His eyes suddenly turned red, and the blood in his mouth grew more bitter.It turns out that taking someone's kindness for granted also has consequences. For example, in his case, death was the price."Oliver... do you think if Eulalia knew I had lung cancer, she'd come to see me?"Oliver hadn't expected Percival to still be thinking about Eulalia at a time like this. He paused, then said, "Boss, forg

At the hotel, Eulalia had already gone through all the trending topics. Barry posted a long tweet early this morning. Soon after, the studio reposted it, tagging the livestream platform and press conference, confirming the time for 9:20 AM the day after tomorrow.Just as she finished reading, someone called her urgently.Eulalia picked up and saw it was Reid calling. Most likely about Barry's situation. Sure enough, that's what he started with."Eulalia, you doing okay?""I'm fine," Eulalia said casually. She got up to grab a soda from the cabinet, put the phone on speaker, and opened the can while listening. Reid could hear the sound clearly through the phone.She still had the energy to eat and drink. Looks like it wasn't affecting her much.Reid: "..." He paused for a moment before asking, "Why couldn't I reach you yesterday?""I turned my phone off for a bit. Didn't see it."Reid was worried sick, but Eulalia, the one actually involved, seemed totally unbothered."Come on, aren't

Facing a barrage of questions from reporters, Steele calmly replied, "We finished revising the script on the 6th and sent it to Eulalia's agent right after.""Do you have a record of that?""Of course." Steele pulled out his phone, scrolled for a bit, then held it up to one of the cameras. "Here it is."It showed an email sent on the 6th. Not just that - Steele had sent it three times, including once on the 7th.Steele explained, "I was worried she might not receive the script, so I sent it again on the 7th. Her agent even confirmed receiving the file. I don't think an agent would screw over their own client, right?""Why didn't you send it directly to Eulalia instead of going through her agent?"Barry, looking pale beside Steele, wiped her eyes and leaned on his shoulder. "You guys know what's up between us, right? Eulalia snatched the role from the production team using shady methods, and I don’t have her number."Barry was known for being blunt - she said whatever was on her mind.

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. He couldn't show any weakness, afraid he wouldn't be able to support Eulalia if he did.Kneeling on the ground, Eulalia slowly scattered dirt over Misty's body, burying her until she was no longer visible. Eulalia's thin frame shook violently, her fragmented sobs growing from quiet to loud as her grief reached its peak.Eulalia had never imagined she could feel heartbreak like t
Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead I'll kill them myself
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. Her grip on Victor's shirt loosened as she clutched Misty's collar tightly to her heart."Eulalia," Victor whispered. The girl in his arms was ice-cold, shivering uncontrollably. Her anguished sobs had faded to quiet whimpers.Even after crying her heart out, Eulalia wasn't feeling any better. Her veins were bulging, her temples throbbing. Her body alternated between freezing shivers and feverish heat, her back burning and itching.Victor's heart clenched. He opened his mouth, but no words of comfort came out.Kneeling down, Victor g
Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead She's gone
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. The day was packed with her shoot, and wrap

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. The doctor came, measured Percival's temperature, and set up an IV. But as the doctor tried to insert the needle, he noticed
Divorce That Scumbag And Take The Lead The Anguish of Percival and Trent
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
