Two days later, I returned to the school to pack my belongings, as I had already planned to transfer to another institution. Just then, my phone rang—it was Shelley."Girl, that crazy woman has posted something again. Do you want me to help you flame her?" Her voice was filled with concern.I glanced at my screen and saw the tweet Sandra just posted. She shared a screenshot of a positive pregnancy test, captioning it: [My relationship with my husband has always been great! I'm pregnant! The baseless rumors will be debunked one day!]"I'm fine, just a bit tired," I replied calmly."That's good. Rest well, and call me if you need anything," Shelley said."Okay, I will," I assured her.After I finished packing, I was about to leave the school when several middle-aged women approached me. "It's you, isn't it? Are you running away after what you've done?" One of them, with curly hair, grabbed my hair before I could respond. "You shameless woman! You have no moral integrity even though
On the internet?I rewatched the video of me helping Gregory again and again. Finally, I zoomed in and found the culprit. It was Sandra, filming from my car’s passenger seat. I remembered that day, I had asked Xavier to pick me up because I had urgent matters to attend to after school.Pointing to the injury at the corner of my eye, I turned to the police and asked, "I can sue the person who spread malicious rumors about me which led to my assault, right?"The officers checked the footage, then went with me to the hospital where Sandra was being treated.We found her room after asking the nurses for her room number. I entered first. Upon seeing my injury, Sandra covered her mouth and laughed. "Wow, you got off easy. I thought she would kill you!"I sneered, "Wow, you're actually confessing."Her expression changed as two police officers entered the room behind me. Sandra quickly adopted a weak demeanor and said softly, "I was just joking around with a friend..."The police pul
At that moment, my phone rang."Hello? Are you here?" I answered coldly."Five minutes," a deep male voice responded.Shortly after, Justin entered the room dressed in a black trench coat, his expression grim. He immediately closed the door behind him, plunging the room into a suffocating silence.Upon seeing him, Sandra crawled to his feet, crying, "Honey, you finally came! I know you still care about me... The baby is yours, I swear..."Justin looked down at her, his gaze devoid of warmth. "I can have children again, but definitely not with you."Seeing that he didn't believe her, Sandra gritted her teeth and said, "I can call the doctor and get rid of it right now. If you don't believe that the baby is yours, then let's have other babies!""Sandra! What are you saying?!" Xavier rushed to her, incredulous. "How can you abort my baby?!"Hearing this, Justin suddenly grabbed Sandra by the throat, his eyes fierce. "My baby?! Say that again!"Justin was a rash man. In my previou
I opened my eyes to find a shiny knife before me, sending me tumbling back onto the couch in fear."What's wrong, Lily? Do you want an apple?" my husband, Xavier Henderson, asked. My heart raced—wasn't I dead?Because I kept quiet, Xavier moved closer, still holding the knife. He said, "There's a new coworker who lives in our neighborhood..."I slapped the knife away and frantically inspected my body.And then, realization dawned—I had been reborn!I turned my attention back to the scumbag. Furious, I grabbed a glass of water from the table and splashed it in his face. "Lily! Are you out of your mind?" he shouted, startled.Suppressing my anger, I said flatly, "I had a nightmare. I wanted to see if I was really awake." I knew he was about to bring up his coworker, Sandra Lee, wanting a ride. I said no in my previous life. I bought the car before our marriage, so it was registered in my name. If something were to happen while she was in the car, there would be a lot of probl
The next morning, I waited downstairs early. When Xavier walked over with Sandra, he was startled to see me. He quickly handed the coffee in his hand back to her. "Lily? What are you doing here? Why haven't you left for work?"I replied with a smile, "Don't you know my school is near your company? Or have you never thought about giving me a ride too?"Xavier opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words. Sandra's smiling face turned stiff. She spoke in a pretentious tone, "Is this your wife, Xavier? She's so beautiful—unlike me; I don't know how to dress up."In my previous life, I had little interaction with Sandra. I now know that she's actually such a pretentious woman.I replied coolly, "Beauty doesn't matter. Some men simply prefer the ugly women outside."Xavier caught my underlying message. He lowered his voice, explaining, "This is Sandra, my new coworker. She lives in the building next to ours..."I wasn’t interested, so I opened the back door and got in the car. Sandra s
In my past life, I had devoted myself to him, living like a maid at home. But now, I had changed.I shrugged. "Working overtime? Did you work overtime at the Jovialle Food Street?" Panic momentarily flickered in his eyes. "What are you talking about?" I pulled out my phone and opened the car's GPS record. "Have you forgotten that I'm the car's owner? I know where it's been."After a pause, I added, "I was on the balcony earlier. I saw you come home with Sandra."He adjusted his tie and said, "We're tired from working late, so we grabbed a snack. What about it?"I couldn’t help but sneer at his ridiculous defense. "If you still want to eat, tell Sandra to cook for you; she seems good at making things up."Also, next time you "grab a snack", make sure you wipe your mouth clean before coming home—it stinks."His panic gave me satisfaction. Xavier was skilled at lying; in my past life, I had easily fallen for his lies."What’s wrong with grabbing a snack after working late? St
In the video, Xavier and Sandra were getting intimate in the back seat of my car. I had intentionally clipped the most intense segment of the video. Xavier pinned her down, panting heavily, and said, "You're so much better than Lily. She's always so lifeless, like a dead fish."Sandra responded with a soft gasp, "My husband is always away on business trips. If it weren't for you, I would have gone insane a long time ago..."Following my post, nobody posted anything for a few minutes. After that, the group chat erupted with messages.[Oh my, isn't that Xavier Henderson from Building 8 and Sandra Lee from Building 12? Who could have known they're actually that kind of people?][Goodness, my husband always speaks well of Xavier's work ethic and integrity, but he's actually just a scumbag!][Poor Mrs. Henderson. I feel sorry for her.]The group admin tagged me, saying, ["Umm.. please don't post things that have nothing to do with the community, or I'll have to kick you out.]I c
Justin nodded slightly, signaled me to wait a moment, then knocked on the door.Knock, knock, knock.After three knocks, the door of the meeting room opened, revealing Xavier's familiar face.His smile froze upon seeing me. "Li... Lily?"Sandra’s face went pale. "Ho... Honey?"The manager’s eyes nearly bulged as he looked between Sandra and Justin. "You mean... the Asia-Pacific regional president of our business partner... is your husband?!"Sandra avoided eye contact, flustered as she glanced in our direction.Justin sneered. With gritted teeth, he said, "How do you think she managed to get into this company with only a high school diploma?"I'm so good to you, and this is how you repay me?"So, Justin had been hiding his identity from Sandra all along. No wonder. If Sandra had known the truth, she wouldn't even have shown an ounce of interest in the worthless Xavier.Whispers began to circulate around us, and Justin looked around contemptuously. "I've told you before, but y

Xavier could only watch helplessly as the video played, his face shifting from red to white, then to blue, until he finally collapsed to the floor like a pile of mud.Sandra, still tearfully trying to defend herself, pleaded, "Honey, listen to me! It's not what you think! It's Lily; she's trying to...""Shut up!" Justin slammed his hand on the table, cutting off her words. "You've humiliated me enough!"The manager attempted to calm the situation, saying, "Um, let's not make this public... Mr. Lee, we'll deal with this properly, I assure you!"Justin pointed at Sandra with disgust. "Get out of my sight, you disgusting woman!"After staggering to her feet, Sandra suddenly fainted.After Justin left, I noticed some eyes in the meeting room looking at me with pity.Ignoring the gazes, I walked straight to Xavier, who was sitting on the floor like a defeated dog.I sneered from above him, "Isn't this great, Xavier? Justin's dumping Sandra, and I'm dumping you. Now, you and Sandra c
