Luke went forward and slapped Cynthia before snapping at her, “You hurt my sister, and you still want me to marry you? Cynthia, are you crazy?”Cynthia cradled her face. She looked fragile and pitiful. Men could not bear it when women showed their weak side, but all I saw in Luke’s eyes were impatience and disgust.“Juliet is the most important person in my life. We depended on each other after our parents died. I’m allergic to ginger, so she picked out all of the ginger from my food. When I got sick, she went out to buy medicine for me in spite of the rain. I told you all these things before.”“I know, Luke. I’m sorry. I really am.”“You know? Hah!” Luke sneered. “ Did you know that Juliet was worried about you before she came back? She asked me to take care of you, but this is what you did to repay her kindness when she came back?“Cynthia, I once thought that you were a gentle and kind person, but I was wrong. You’re rotten to the core. You know what women care about the most,
A day before I returned to the country, I watched a livestream.Two middle-aged people stood behind the female streamer with a banner held between them. It had the words: Help! What should I do when my boyfriend cheated and his new woman comes over to boast in my face?The streamer cried so badly that her makeup was ruined. “She keeps talking to my boyfriend and is coming to meet me tomorrow…”The chat sent encouraging words to the streamer while insulting the other woman.[How could she be so arrogant? Kill her!][Don’t be scared, girl. Give me your address. I’ll slap her for you tomorrow.]I hated these sorts of channels. It was all scripted, and the chat was full of idiots who just went along with the flow.But I did not scroll away today. Instead, I frowned as I stared at the streamer. She looked familiar.I could swear she was my brother’s girlfriend, Cynthia Walton.When Luke Thompson, my brother, got together with Cynthia, I was already in my second year studying abroad
The livestreamers who had been waiting around the area rushed through the gate and pointed their phones at my face to start taking pictures.“You’re the homewrecker? To think you’d actually come here! The audacity! We’re going to make sure you can’t leave the place!”“We’ll teach you a lesson today!”The next moment, their spit landed on my face. When I looked at Cynthia, she was leaning against her mother’s shoulder while crying. It did not look like she was faking it, so perhaps this was all a misunderstanding. Luke was about to propose to her, so I did not want things to end badly between us.I wiped away the spit on my face and sucked in a deep breath. As I suppressed the anger in my chest, I said, “You’re mistaken. I’m not your boyfriend’s new woman.”Once I said that, Cynthia started crying even harder. Her father pinched me in revenge, and a bruise formed on my arm. I yelped in pain.“You came here to seduce my daughter’s boyfriend, and you still won’t admit it?! You had t
Cynthia’s brother grinned. “Molesting? You’re the one who seduced me.”I pointed at the security camera on the wall. “He clearly molested me. The security footage will show it.”Cynthia sneered. “Are you saying our eyes are worse than the security camera? Stop lying already.”She scanned my body with a dark look and grinned.“This kept woman still has plenty of valuable stuff on her that she clearly got by seducing men. Let’s destroy all of them today. Girls, tie her to the table. Make sure she can’t move and seduce anymore men.”One of the other livestreamers asked Cynthia how they were supposed to tie me up when they did not have a rope.Cynthia scanned the living room. “Tear up the carpet and tie her with it. She’s only worthy of being bound by stuff we’ve stepped on.”Then, a group of people came forward and surrounded me. They grabbed my limbs and put me on the table. I felt like a lamb waiting for slaughter with my pointless struggle against them.“I’m warning you! Let me
Then, Cynthia cackled. “She’s getting worked up! Look! She’s rambling now! Juliet is in another country. She wouldn’t come back for no reason.“Do you see it? She’s so shameless! She’s lying without batting an eyelid!”Her brother pointed the camera in my face.Cynthia tore my designs apart and stomped on the haute couture gowns.With Cynthia spurring them on, the onlookers rushed forward and snatched my jewelry and cut up my haute couture gowns.I coldly watched the lunatics grabbing stuff from my luggage bag and wished to reach my phone in the coat’s pocket and call the police.Just a little more, and I would be able to grab it…Once I reached it and unlocked my phone, a chatter suddenly alerted one of the streamers. “The kept woman is calling the police. Everyone, stop her!”Everyone fixed their eyes on me again. Cynthia’s brother grabbed my arm and crushed my phone under his foot.“You were trying to call the police? They wouldn’t care about a homewrecker like you.”“Lo
With a loud crack, the bracelet shattered to pieces.My heart clenched in pain, and tears rolled down my cheeks.“The witch is crying! Is she finally feeling regret?”“Even if she’s regretting it, it’s too late for her. Her conscience is already corrupted by greed.”“We might just be normal people, but it’s still necessary for us to make gold diggers pay and right society of wrongdoings.”I stared at the shards and felt as if I was seeing my parents. Hate burned so hotly in me that I wanted blood.“Cynthia, Luke will never marry you!”Cynthia had been really smug just a moment ago, but her expression changed, and she slapped me.“Looks like you still won’t admit your mistakes. If that’s the case, let’s film her. We’ll let everyone see just how despicable she is.”The streamers came forward. Someone shoved their phone straight into my face. I felt like a monkey on display in a zoo. I had lost my freedom and could only let the others tease and mock me.“You’re already in this s

“Call the police, Luke. Make sure none of these people get to leave.”The police soon arrived and brought all the troublemakers to the police station.Cynthia did not give up until the moment she was led away and begged for mercy from Luke. “Bae, I really didn’t do it on purpose. Aren’t we a family?”Her mother defended her too. “Sir, you’re mistaken. We’re all family, and this was just some simple teasing. It’s normal.”A family?They cut my hair, shaved my eyebrows, and beat me black and blue until I was covered in wounds. Yet they were calling themselves my family? All of this was just some simple teasing?Excuse me?I gave Luke a look to tell him to deal with this problem.He scoffed and flung Cynthia’s hand away before telling the police sternly, “I have nothing to do with them. These people came here to attack my sister without permission. Please take them to the police station and thoroughly investigate them.”The police made a list of all the things I lost and took the
