The day before my wedding, my daughter and I got into a car accident. My daughter died instantly, and I was left with broken legs, condemned to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. When Spencer Ford found out, he rushed us to the hospital, his actions frantic, almost out of control. In the midst of my pain, I overheard a conversation between Spencer and his assistant. "The car's been disposed of. Lorelei will never find out that we tampered with it. But I'm compelled to ask… Rowena was your own daughter. Was it really worth it, losing her for Melanie? "When Rowena was dying, she was calling for you to save her… I could hardly bring myself to do it." Spencer remained silent for a long time, the tension in the air thick. Then he slowly exhaled a plume of smoke. "Melanie's pregnant. I won't let anyone compete with her child for the inheritance. And all of this is Lorelei's fault. She brought it on herself."

I quietly watched Spencer's face drain of color as memories from the past began to flood my mind. Five years ago, when I was at my lowest, bullied beyond reason, I met a kind-hearted reporter. He took my diary and the evidence hidden within, promising me, with unwavering sincerity, that he would help me find justice. I had believed him. It would be no exaggeration to say that, during that time, that kind reporter was my only hope. But in this world, there was no such thing as kindness without a price. It wasn't until Spencer coldly threw my diary in my face that I realized the truth. The reporter had been working for her from the very beginning. He had approached me, not to help, but to steal the evidence I had. "That day, Melanie beat me up," I whispered, my voice trembling as I recalled the pain. "She told me that if I told anyone, she would kill me."I didn't want to die, and I certainly didn't want to live a life worse than death."I made up my mind tha

Spencer was found unconscious by the household staff and rushed to the hospital overnight. Courtney hurried to his side, heartbroken as she watched her son, who had once been so steady and wise, now on the brink of destroying himself over a woman. Her husband had passed away years ago, and Tyrone had always been trouble. Spencer, however, had been her pride and joy—her carefully nurtured heir. But now, he was willing to die for a woman. Courtney stood there, her heart filled with panic. Ford Corporation was built on Spencer's shoulders. If he fell, what would happen to her? Could she still live the life of a rich lady with any dignity? She didn't know. She looked at the son she had pinned all her hopes on and gritted her teeth. "If you want to die, then at least take revenge first!" At her words, Spencer fell silent. His bloodshot eyes were locked onto hers, his voice raspy. "What revenge?" "Melanie wasn't even pregnant," Courtney spat, her face twisted with

Spencer never hit women, nor had he ever lost his composure in public. But this time, it was different. Before anyone could even react, a loud crash echoed through the room, and Melanie was sent flying through the air. She landed hard on the floor, her face filled with fear as she looked up at the advancing man. "Spencer, this is all a lie! Lorelei faked it! She must have deliberately forged that video to frame me..." Melanie's panic was evident as she desperately turned to Courtney. "Courtney, you always said you'd back me up! You have to help me! Please talk to Spencer…" Courtney, her expression conflicted, looked at the young woman who had once been like a daughter to her. The Fords and the Chapmans had been family friends for generations. Courtney and Melanie's mother were close, and Melanie had practically grown up under her care. Having no daughters of her own, Courtney had treated Melanie as her own, even rejoicing when she married Tyrone. She had thought Mel

Spencer froze, shaking his head with a bitter laugh. "We're getting married today. How could Lorelei be dead? Enough with the jokes. The ceremony's about to start. Get her over here," he added, trying to brush off the concern. The assistant's voice trembled. "No, it's not a joke... Lorelei... she's really dead. Her body is right here in front of me. You need to come see for yourself." The smile on Spencer's face faded instantly. He quickly muttered, "I'll be there right away," and rushed toward the door. At the guest house of Ford residence, the assistant quietly explained the situation. "There was a fire last night in the guest house. Lorelei had been locked inside as punishment, forced to kneel. The maid on duty didn't keep watch, and… this happened." The assistant's gaze lingered on the burned, unrecognizable body of a woman, a look of deep regret in his eyes. "I had someone check. It's definitely Lorelei. Even the mole behind her ear is identical. There's no mistake.

I couldn't bear to hear any more. Slamming the door behind me, I locked myself in my room. My phone buzzed with a new message, the sound sharp and intrusive. I opened the message, and a video began to play. The moment I saw it, my heart stopped. Rowena's screams filled the room, and I froze, unable to move. In the video, my three-year-old daughter lay in a pool of blood, her tiny body marked with the terrible, cruel lashings she had endured. She looked directly into the camera, her lips trembling as she whispered, "Mommy... save me..." The message that followed felt like a slap to the face. [I'm guessing you didn’t know your daughter wasn't dead when the accident happened. Spencer gave her to me and let me do whatever I wanted to her to get back at you. [So I locked her in the basement and tortured her for three whole days. She begged me to stop up until the second she died.] "Lorelei, your daughter's just like you—useless and pathetic." I spun around at the soun

"Melanie, what are you doing here?" As soon as he saw her, Spencer's expression softened. He glanced at me, still sprawled on the floor, and quickly raised his hand to shield Melanie's eyes. "Don't look. You're pregnant, and you shouldn't stress yourself. I don't want you having nightmares tonight." "That's not very nice. You might hurt Lorelei's feelings." Spencer smiled indulgently. "I'm just being honest. Lorelei looks a little frightening like this, doesn't she?" Melanie giggled while covering her mouth, unable to stop laughing. "Lorelei, this is Rowena's ashes." I shakily took the small urn from her, and for a moment, it felt like Rowena was standing before me again, tugging at my sleeve, calling out to me in her sweet, innocent voice. Then, the image shifted. Rowena was lying under the wheels of the truck, covered in blood, reaching out to me with desperate cries. "Mom… it hurts…" The child I had carried for nine months and raised myself was now reduced to

The assistant was confused. "Lorelei is so gentle and kind. What could she have done that's so awful?" "Gentle? Kind? That's all just a facade." Spencer scoffed, as if mocking the very idea. Then, he began to tell a story he had kept buried for years. "Melanie and I grew up together. In high school, she was bullied so badly that she got depressed. She even tried to take her own life. And the one who bullied her was Lorelei!" Spencer's voice trembled as he spoke the last words, unable to control the emotions that surfaced. "I promised Melanie I'd help her get back at Lorelei. That was why I purposely got close to her…" His eyes closed, a shadow of pain crossing his face. "But then, I fell for her… I actually fell for the bully who tormented Melanie. I couldn't bring myself to hurt her. But I had no choice. Melanie's suffering needed to be avenged. "Rowena is gone, and it hurts, but I've already betrayed Melanie. I can't let Rowena take away her baby's inheritance. Ha
