Chapter 1

At the recognition banquet filled with the sound of clinking glasses, Lauren Chester, who had been regretful and pained while holding me just yesterday, now allowed those who had bullied me to take me away.In the garden, the leading girl pinched my chin and sneered. "Do you really think you've become a rich lady?" "The Chester family had lost and found countless daughters. Do you think you're the real one?"I pursed my lips and said nothing. Seeing my weak demeanor, the girl pulled out a bottle from behind her. Shaking it, she asked, "Jessica, want to try my new toy?" I looked at the bottle labeled sulfuric acid and smiled slightly, provoking her. "Sure, why don't you see if you can walk out of this villa alive tonight?"Her reaction was clearly enraged. Just as she opened the bottle and was about to throw it at me, I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran towards the hall, lifting my skirt. "Someone's trying to kill me!"My terrified screams instantly drew the attention of the gu

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, Lauren's ti

Looking at the girls’ profiles, I lowered my gaze. Some accounts really needed to be settled.I got to know James by chance. It was then that we discovered our goals aligned, so he handled the aftermath while I lured the bait. Luckily, the fact that I couldn’t feel pain worked in my favor. Otherwise, how could Lauren have seen me as a suitable candidate?After arriving at James's apartment, he projected all of the Chester family's assets onto the wall. "These are their partners. There's a charity event in a few days. It's organized by that woman. I believe you know what to do?" I turned to him with a smile and replied coldly, "Do I need you to tell me how to do my job?" "You'd better not let them catch you off guard. Don't act without my permission. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences yourself!" With that, I took the documents in my hands and headed upstairs. We were just working together, but he actually started ordering me around.In the bedroom, I looked at the girl on

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?"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 coldly, as i

Seeing the shock in her eyes, I slowly got up.Only then did I see that the person surrounded by mist was none other than Megan from the video at the charity dinner.Only her face was scarred."Scared?" Lauren came to my ear at some point and murmured softly.I laughed. "Are you going to turn me into that as well?"After saying that, Lauren looked at me almost obsessively and said, "Of course not, this face of yours, although annoying, is really beautiful. So, I want the skin on your face..."I shuddered.Could this be what she was ultimately after, but what did she want the skin for?Just as I was lost in thought.Lauren had already torn the skin off the right side of her face, revealing a hideous and horrible scar."After all these years, I thought I wouldn't be able to find the right person. I didn't expect you to just take the initiative to come to my door. I would have wanted you to continue to enjoy the life of being the daughter of an affluent family for a while. But you were to

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.Lauren 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 die?

"I can also give you both a huge sum of money and transfer all my properties to you. As long as you let her go, I will give you anything you want," Jack said humbly as he looked at me. James stared directly at me, seemingly trying to see what choice I would make. I glanced at Lauren, bloodied and pinned to the table by him, and laughed loudly. "Anything I want?" I looked at Jack, who was kneeling in front of me. He quickly nodded, fearing I might change my mind immediately. "Alright, then I want your life!" Saying this, I grabbed his collar and dragged him to Megan's corpse. James didn't expect me to be this crazy, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. At that moment, Lauren tried to struggle, but James pressed her down forcefully. "What do you want?" "James is doing this for Megan. What about you? If it weren't for the Chester family, you would have been killed by those children from affluent families a long time ago. Jessica, do you not have any gratitude?"

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. 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 fine..." "Megan's b

"But you did well this time. Jessica, I believe that no matter what path you choose in the future, you will do great." I brushed his hand away and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. I pouted my lips said, "I don't care. I want to meet the two maniacs face to face." The man looked at me, then sighed and nodded. ……When I saw Mr. and Mrs. Chester, they had lost their former brilliance. Since the day they were taken away by the police, everything they had done was reported by the media. Jack didn't seem surprised at my arrival. He looked at me with self-deprecation and smiled. "I should have guessed. You're just as stubborn as he is. You even look quite alike. It seems you're here to avenge him, right?" I nodded. "So your goal was never Megan." After saying this, he lowered his head, holding it with both hands. Then he laughed loudly, lifting his tear-filled gaze to look at me. I curved my lips into a smile, but my eyes were filled with coldness. "But h

Chapter 10

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.’ 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 delayed." "Here
