All Chapters of Love and Hatred Run Bone-Deep: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The investigation into the explosion concluded that a woman had stolen confidential business secrets while her boyfriend was in a coma following a car accident. When the man's mother discovered what she was up to and tried to stop her, the woman killed her boyfriend's mother, caused an explosion, and fled.Only one set of remains was found at the scene—Jane.I don't know how the authorities had come to that conclusion. All I knew was that my remains were treated like garbage and disposed of without a care.Money could turn black to white. It could also turn a dead person into a fleeing murderer.My femur was polished into round beads and strung into a bracelet. It was then given to Evan as a gift to celebrate his survival and new life.He accepted the gift and inspected it closely. He then complained about Peter being stingy, saying that he could've done better and gotten him something of better quality.After that, he asked, "Where are Corinne and my mom?"With reddened eyes, C

The moment he said it, the entire hall fell silent. Then, whispers erupted all around the venue seconds later as people's gazes shifted.The color drained from Cecilia's face as she quickly snatched the bracelet back from Felix's hands. She chastised, "What nonsense are you spouting? This is clearly buffalo bone! Who told you to say this? Was it Corinne?"Felix looked taken aback. "I'm a professional, okay? Don't falsely accuse me. I've been studying this bracelet for a while now; something about it seemed off, even from a distance. I can tell the difference between buffalo bone and human bone.""Say one more word, and I'll sue you for slander!" Cecilia warned sharply. She hurriedly added, "You call yourself an appraiser? You're just a fraud trying to scam people!""I'm just stating my opinion. You will be held responsible for slandering me," Felix replied firmly, pointing to the camera on his chest. "I've recorded the entire exchange. I wouldn't risk my reputation over this. If yo

When Evan got home, he ransacked the entire place like he had been possessed. He searched high and low, sweeping many items onto the floor.At first, I wondered what he was looking for. Finally, he fished out an item from behind the bed with much difficulty. I realized he had been looking for a photo of me.Unfortunately, he had torn all my photos into pieces. Even the sole remaining photo of me was the remnants of a torn photograph. Half of my face beamed brightly in the stained photo.After he stared at the photo for a while, he tried to rub off the stain while crying, but he could not remove it. In the end, he grabbed his hair and cried hysterically."I was a blind piece of shit. I was wrong. Corinne, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." His heartbreaking wails conveyed despair.I tried to tell him it wasn't his fault at all. I just wanted him to take good care of my mom and protect her from Cecilia and Peter. After my dad's early death, Mom was my only family in this world.Evan carefully

Evan gave Cecilia a push. He snarked, "What are you doing here?""I'm here to see you, Evan. Please do not fall for the lies of that bitch!" Teary-eyed, she looked disheveled and pitiful. "She is only after your money. Evan, I'm the only one who truly loves you. I will do anything for you.""Get lost!" Evan mustered all his energy to push Cecilia away. "I will repeat this one last time—the engagement is off. You and I are done.""But why?" She screeched, "I loved you so much and sacrificed for you over the years. Did I wrong you? Why are you doing this to me?"With a scowl, she pointed in a random direction. "Is it because of that woman from earlier today? Hah, you must have fallen in love with her! Is that right? Tell me, how is she better than me?""Shut up!" Triggered, Evan angrily grabbed her by the neck.He hissed viciously, "Do I need to list down the repulsive things you did?"Cecilia looked stunned. Her face paled and turned ashen. Her words were caught in her throat. No

Evan learned from Aaron that Cecilia had not been seen after she dropped by Peter's studio, but Aaron overheard her screams and wondered if something had happened to her.After some thinking, Evan called the police and explained the situation. He added, "Peter Hoffman will come to my place soon, and he will ramble about the case from three years ago. As Corinne Peele's family, I have a right to the truth. Please do not set him off; a madman like him will go to any lengths."The police quickly dispatched a team to surround Peter's studio. Before they could make a move, they saw him leaving the studio with a cardboard box and humming a tune.Although it was dark outside, they could see the blood stains on the box.The police had decided to hold back and tail his car. Meanwhile, some of the police members found a headless female corpse buried in the mess of the studio; blood had soaked into the floors. They searched for the head, but a fruitless search made them confirm that the murde
