On the day Yara Cullen was released from prison, it was raining. A chilly wind carried the drizzle, striking her as the media swarmed the prison gates. "Ms. Cullen, in the Crestwood Estate sexual assault case, your client lost the lawsuit and took her own life six months ago. Her mother is demanding accountability. Do you have anything to say?” "Ms. Cullen, your attorney's license has been revoked, and your mentor was forced to retire. What are your thoughts on this?" No matter how the reporters pressed, Yara kept her head down and pushed forward, forcing her way through the crowd. A black G-Wagon was parked by the roadside, where Westley Langston leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette. Beside him, Elena Cullen tugged at his arm. He turned, glancing toward the prison gates.

The woman was the mother of the victim from the Crestwood Estate case.She wasn’t alone—she was accompanied by a swarm of reporters. The blinding flashes from their cameras made Yara feel dizzy.The woman shoved and struck Yara as she screamed, "I told my daughter not to sue! I told her we couldn’t fight against the rich. But this woman said she had the confidence to win!"And what happened? My daughter was labeled a prostitute and jumped to her death. And now look at her—she’s out of prison! Why didn’t she die? She’s the one who deserves to die! I want her to pay for my daughter’s life!"Yara stumbled backward from the woman’s push and fell to the ground.Elena caught her, then forced Yara’s face toward the cameras, exposing the jagged scar on her forehead."The Crestwood Estate case was my sister’s fault, but she’s already paid the price. Look at her scar. The victim was just a waitress, while my sister is the heiress of a wealthy family. How could her lowly life compare to my siste

Chapter 3
Perhaps Westley had long forgotten, but Yara remembered it vividly. Back then, she was the star of Hudson University’s law program, while Westley was a poor student from the neighboring economics department. Even his tuition had been funded by Yara’s mother. There were always plenty of boys vying for Yara’s attention—some wrote her songs, others brought her flowers. But none of them were like Westley, who waited outside the women’s dormitory every day. In the summer, he brought her cold drinks; in the winter, warm tea, all for the chance to give her a ride to the library on his bicycle.Yara never paid him any attention. Her dormmates often mocked him, laughing and saying, "Look at him—thinking he can land a princess! Guess fairy tales really are just fairy tales."That day, everyone burst into laughter. Everyone except Yara. She stopped, walked up to Westley, and said, "I’ve never ridden on a bicycle before. Teach me." Before long, news of Yara and Westley dating sprea

The box flew three meters across the room, landing with a thud. A bloody, mangled mess tumbled out, leaving a crimson streak on the carpet. The housekeeper, trembling, stammered in horror, "A dead rat... how could it be a dead rat..." At that moment, Westley walked out of the kitchen, holding a plate of pasta. He froze at the sight, dropping the plate immediately, and rushed toward Elena. “Elena, are you alright?” He knelt in front of her, gently holding her hands, his expression as tender as if he were handling the most precious treasure. Elena offered a sweet, coquettish smile. “I’m fine, Westley.” Glancing toward Yara, she suddenly pouted, her face full of grievance. “But Yara... she bought that dead rat on purpose to scare me. It nearly gave me a heart attack.” Westley frowned and turned to Yara. “What’s wrong with you? Did prison twist your mind?” Robert’s voice cut through sharply. “How could you be so cruel? Apologize to Elena immediately!” Yara lifted her

Yara sat quietly in her room. The door opened behind her, and Westley stepped inside. “About today… we were wrong to blame you.” Yara didn’t respond. It was as though she hadn’t heard him, or maybe she just didn’t care. She didn’t care about the three of them, so she didn’t care about being wronged or about his apology. Westley felt a hollow ache in his chest. “Yara…” But she remained turned away from him. “Westley, where’s my mattress?” He froze. Yara’s mattress had been a custom-made piece that cost a significant amount. As a lawyer, she spent long hours sitting and reviewing case files, often for stretches that lasted hours on end. Her back injury was severe—so much so that she’d sometimes wake up in pain. On her doctor’s recommendation, she’d had the mattress specially designed to provide corrective support. Westley said nothing. Yara wasn’t surprised. “Elena took it, didn’t she?” Her voice was so calm, like a stagnant pool or an empty well, devoid of

A low gasp rippled through the crowd, followed by murmurs and stifled laughter.The man threw the wine glass to the ground, the shattering sound sharp and piercing."Yara Cullen, because of you, all of us lawyers have been dragged through the mud. You’re a disgrace to the profession—a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel!"The commotion caught the attention of Westley and Elena, who hurried over, both momentarily stunned by the scene.Amid the chaos, a hand emerged from the crowd and gave Yara a hard shove from behind.She stumbled and fell to the ground, her gaze meeting the mocking stares around her, her eyes clouded with confusion and hurt.Elena’s voice dripped with mock sympathy. "Yara, how did you manage to get wine all over yourself? And then you tripped. That’s so clumsy of you. “Honestly, you’re always so careless. No wonder you caused such a disaster with the Crestwood Estate case."Westley cleared his throat, feigning a mild reprimand. "Elena, we’re in public. At least sh

Yara returned to her room, took a shower, and didn’t go back downstairs.The noise from below gradually faded—it seemed the banquet had come to an end.Just as she was getting ready to sleep, her phone buzzed with a message from Elena.“Yara, come to my room. I have a gift for you.”Yara left her room and approached Elena’s door, but before she could knock, she heard hushed voices from inside."Elena, don’t do this. Your sister is right next door.""She’s asleep. What are you afraid of? Ever since she came back, you haven’t touched me. Westley, I’ve missed you.""Elena, it wouldn’t be good if your sister overheard.""Westley, are you really that scared of her?"It sounded like Elena was crying now, her voice thick with emotion."Westley, tell me the truth. Since she came back, have you been sleeping with her again? You promised me I was the only one...""I haven’t touched her," Westley said, his voice a mix of helplessness and tenderness. "Elena, don’t cry. You’ve seen the scar on her

Chapter 8
In the pitch-black room, Yara lay staring blankly at the ceiling. Scenes from the past few years flashed before her eyes like a movie reel. She had long since lost the concept of having a father. And now, she had no intention of keeping her husband either. …That night, Yara slept exceptionally well. The next morning, sunlight was streaming through the windows by the time she finally got up. After taking her time washing up, she headed downstairs. The first thing she heard was Elena wailing hysterically: "Who told you to come here? Why are you digging up my chamomile plants? I still need them for my tea!" At the villa’s front gate, a group of workers was busily digging up the lush chamomile plants, pulling them out by the roots with practiced efficiency. Elena screamed, but the workers didn’t so much as glance her way, acting as though they couldn’t hear her. Yara strolled into the living room, crossed her legs, and settled onto the sofa. Taking a sip of the freshly

Yara turned to face her father, her expression cold and unreadable. "Then there’s nothing I can do. The chamomile plants have been thrown out like trash. How do you expect me to replant it?" Robert clutched his chest in anger. "You ungrateful daughter! You’re doing this on purpose to defy me!" Elena rushed to his side, tears streaming down her face as she supported him. "Dad, Yara’s gone too far this time! She’s trying to push you to the brink!" Robert coughed heavily, his trembling hand pointing accusingly at Yara. "I’ll pretend I never had a daughter like you. Get out! Get out of this house right now!" Yara shrugged nonchalantly. "If you don’t want me as your daughter, that’s fine. Honestly, I don’t want you as my father either. But as for leaving this house? Sorry, that’s not happening." She took a step closer, her gaze sharp as a blade. "Dad, you must be getting old and forgetful. Have you forgotten? This house is in my name. It’s part of the inheritance my mother lef

Chapter 10
Michael finished reading the supplementary clause of the will. For a long moment after he finished, Robert stood there, utterly stunned. Elena looked equally dazed as if someone had hit her over the head with a heavy blow. It turned out that Yara’s mother hadn’t given her assets to her husband and daughter in a lump sum. Instead, the funds were distributed monthly. The supplementary clause stated that if it were ever discovered that her husband had been unfaithful in their marriage or had harmed their daughter, his inheritance rights would be immediately revoked. Unfaithful to his wife and disloyal to his daughter—Robert managed to tick both boxes. Still unwilling to accept the truth, Robert clung to Michael’s arm, throwing a tantrum. "I don’t understand a word of what you just said! It doesn’t count!" Elena joined in, flailing angrily. "That’s right! I’ve never heard of a will having a supplementary clause like this. It can’t be legal!" Yara couldn’t help but laugh at
