All Chapters of Unmasking Hypocrisy: A Tale of Revenge: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Instead, I was taken inside the hidden basement of the villa.Injecting the drugs in the syringe into my body.As she watched me twitching all over, Lauren always clapped her hands in excitement.Sometimes she would even take pictures of me while under the effects of the drug.Jack, who was holding the syringe, never said a word.He was the richest man in the Northston, but he also seemed extraordinarily restrained in front of Lauren at the moment.He seemed to be afraid that if he was not careful, he would anger Lauren.I felt that perhaps the biggest villain should be Lauren.One day, I just woke up after the side effects of the drug.Lauren anxiously brought me out of the basement and had the servants wash and dress me.I shivered and didn't dare to look directly at her, which caused the maid on the side to have obscure eyes."Do your part, or I'll rip you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"This wasn’t the first time that Lauren had treated them like this.After all

As soon as I finished speaking, Lauren's venomous gaze landed on my face. She shot me a glare and then adjusted herself to explain everything, ultimately wrapping things up with her passionate speech. Everyone thought it was just Megan’s prank. But James, who was sitting beside me, didn't share that view. When he was about to stand up, I quickly pressed him down and said coldly, "The timing isn't right. Don't act impulsively. If you want to know the truth, be patient." After that, I smiled and looked at Lauren as she walked off the stage. "Mr. Shaw, I apologize for the commotion today. Can I have Jessica back with me for a night?" Lauren looked exhausted. Jack quickly stood and wrapped his arms around her waist, frowning at me. "What are you waiting for? Are you that eager to become someone's mistress?"8. James looked at Jack in surprise. I hesitated for a moment, exchanged a glance with him, and then followed Jack out. It was the first time I had seen Jack speak so co

After that, Jack was filled with guilt towards Lauren. Lauren became even more difficult to deal with. She would even warn those girls during Jack's social gatherings. Over time, Lauren felt that it was her disfigurement that caused Jack to change. That was why she became determined to find their daughter, having heard of a remedy somewhere. They talked about skin grafting. Since Lauren insisted, Jack stood by her side.12Lauren cried and her face was full of tears, recounting her grievances. I glanced at the scar that hadn't been soaked with tears, curving my lips slightly. I mocked, "You must have told this story to those missing girls too." Lauren's hand froze as she wiped her tears. She smiled and said, "I just wanted to vent my emotions, is that wrong?" I shook my head, "Of course there’s nothing wrong with that, but he's awake now. He should know this too, right?" Sure enough, when Lauren looked at Jack, her eyes were full of disdain. “Shouldn’t men who aren’t loyal just

James supported my arm, looking at me in surprise. I patted his hand and checked the camera tucked behind my ear. Nodding at him. When we were about to leave when Jack suddenly blocked our way. "Do you think you can still get away? Jessica, I gave you a chance, but you refused to accept my offer." He picked up a stick from the ground and swung it at us. 16. His mouth was full of frenzied mutterings. "This is my only choice. It's the only way she can be safe. I was the one who wronged her first. You can all die!" Due to being injected with an unknown substance, I felt completely powerless. Just as the stick was about to hit me, James suddenly stepped in front of me, and the stick struck the back of his head. Jack was then kicked aside by James. "James!" I screamed, clutching his swaying body, trying to stop the blood from his head. But nothing I did was of any help. James tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled weakly. "Don't worry... I'm

I shook my head. "No. Someone as sick as me isn't suitable. I might end up hurting someone the next moment. My dad's friend is right. I have a long life ahead of me. I want to live a better life, so my dad won't worry on the other side." I touched the tip of my nose, which felt slightly sour. I looked into the distance. Perhaps I really should look forward. Under the sunset, my shadow and James's were stretched long. After a while, I smiled. I'm only just turned 18 and my life had only begun.. ‘Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll definitely live a superb life.’ 20. Extra This was probably the umpteenth time I had argued with my dad this month. Since he became a police officer, he would often forget to pick me up from school. Several times, I almost fell asleep at school waiting for him. One day, which was supposed to be my birthday, I waited all night, but instead of my dad, I saw him holding another girl's hand as they walked toward me. "Sorry, Jessica. I was
