Chapter 31

Wendy and Kaylee had been classmates since childhood, so naturally, they both knew Alex. Alex took a moment to distinguish the voice before quickly recognizing it as Wendy’s! He strode over and immediately spotted Kaylee sitting on the sofa. Lucy followed behind him. She knew Wendy. She also knew that Wendy’s father was a lawyer. Wendy stood up from the sofa, her expression cold. "Some men are truly shameless. Back in the day, Kaylee was the prettiest and most popular girl in campus, and there was a whole line of people waiting to chase after her. But you? You played the ‘just a friend’ card to keep her from dating anyone, and then what? You two ended up dating, only for you to cheat on her every other day. Honestly, why are men like this? Is it really that hard to keep your third leg in check?" Alex’s face darkened. "I never cheated on Kaylee when we were together." Kaylee had no intention of digging up the past with Alex, but hearing that, she couldn’t help but

He could play the bigger person and admit his wrongs, but she'd never be allowed to get one over on him."Alex, you’re such a f—" "Wendy!" Kaylee quickly grabbed Wendy’s arm. She only cursed when she was truly furious. "I’ve already moved out of the Morgan family. We won’t be seeing each other again. Let’s just leave it at that." Kaylee didn't want to waste any more words on Alex. She was worried Wendy might say something she'd regret in her anger. While Alex himself wasn't particularly capable, the Morgan family had William. Blood was thicker than water. If William decided to step in and defend Alex, it would only cause trouble for Wendy. Kaylee wasn't afraid of trouble for herself, but she couldn't let her best friend get caught up in it. With that, the dramatic scene finally came to an end. Wendy still picked out two outfits and two pairs of shoes from the store before they left. Once outside, she handed a shoebox to Kaylee. "This is for you." "Huh?

Chapter 33

It was already past nine in the evening.The area around Honor Medical Center was either filled with upscale residential complexes with few residents or half-abandoned old neighborhoods - there weren't many people around.The occasional passerby showed no interest in helping.Kaylee had an instinctive fear of Andrew. She had struggled until she was exhausted, and now she simply stood there, frozen."I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but while I did date Alex for a few years, he made it clear he couldn't marry me because I'm the daughter of a gambler, a drunk, a housekeeper. He's marrying another young lady from his social class."Kaylee's voice was weak. Even though she'd moved on, bringing it up still felt like reopening an old wound."Bullshit! Don't try to fool me!" Andrew cursed. "I've done my research - you're the one he's marrying. You're about to get engaged. Listen here, if he doesn't pay up, I'll make a scene at their house!""Go ahead," Kaylee gave up struggling. "

Chapter 34

She was in debt and couldn't quit her job, but staying meant she had no way to escape from Andrew.Being a penniless gambler and drunk, Andrew would definitely keep harassing her.Even if he eventually discovered she wasn't marrying Alex, he'd probably show up at her workplace causing scenes to demand money.The thought of having to constantly feed his greed made her feel utterly hopeless.Kaylee had thought her life would finally return to normal.Yet here she was, on day one, with everything spiraling into chaos again.She didn't know how long she stayed there, until the sky began to show the first light of dawn. Only then did she stumble back home.After lying down for two hours, she got up planning to quickly get ready for work.But standing in front of the mirror, she discovered her right cheek where she'd been hit was completely swollen - makeup definitely wouldn't cover it!After trying various solutions, she could only hide it with a face mask.At the hospital, whenev

Kaylee's heart fluttered, and she instinctively covered her face while shaking her head. "No, I... I just fell while walking yesterday."She was terrible at lying.Even to her own ears, the excuse sounded unconvincing."So, it was Alex who hit you, wasn't it?"William asked again.His expression was grave, his dark eyes filled with obvious anger."Really, it wasn't him. He... he would never hit me."Kaylee didn't want to tell William about Andrew showing up - she didn't want to burden him with her problems.She could only deny it, not knowing what else to say."He hits you and you're still protecting him?"William's voice rose.The anger he'd been suppressing all day finally started to break through."It's not...""Then who was it?""I really did just fall...""Fine, say no more. I know how to handle this."William was convinced Kaylee would keep protecting Alex, so he stopped questioning her.However...He wouldn't let this slide.The Morgan company should have gone

After a long silence, William finally said, "Let's change my dressing first.""Okay."Kaylee secretly felt relieved that he didn't press further.After changing his dressing and helping him put his shirt back on, she advised carefully, "The wound is healing well. You can come back the day after tomorrow."William watched her bend down to clean up and asked again, "Are you sure you don't need my help?""No need." Kaylee smiled behind her mask, her eyes crinkling artificially. "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. My father won't do anything to me."Even as she said it, she didn't believe her own words.She had been separated from Andrew before she even started school.In all her early memories, she couldn't find a single piece of evidence that this man had ever shown her fatherly love.He was extremely selfish.Gambling, drinking.When he won at gambling, he'd go drinking, then come home and beat her mother.When he lost and had no money for alcohol, he'd come straight home and

Chapter 37

Kaylee looked up in terror, then froze when she saw it was William standing there.The streetlight cast a dim glow nearby.William finally saw the full extent of Kaylee's injuries.They were worse than he'd imagined.Kaylee swallowed her chocolate and quickly wiped away her tears.But she'd been holding them back for too long - there were too many to stop with just a couple of swipes.She wiped three or four more times, and finally managing to hold back the flow, asked, "Mr. Morgan, why are you here..."This was practically the suburbs of the suburbs of North City.There were barely any residents in the area.The wide road in front of them was almost completely empty of traffic.This was part of why Kaylee felt so hopeless.She didn't know how to get back home.A rideshare would be too expensive.William placed the handkerchief in her hand and asked in a deliberately casual tone, "Would you believe me if I said this was just a coincidence?"Kaylee knew he was lying.He w

Chapter 38

The landlord complained, "What kind of person are you? A doctor with a PhD, and you won't even take care of your own father?""I'm so sorry, I'll get home in about half an hour and take care of everything. Please apologize to the neighbors for me."Kaylee hated nothing more than causing trouble for others.Including neighbors, including landlords.She didn't know how Andrew had found her address, but she couldn't run away anymore - she had to face this.The landlord continued ranting, "I let you rent with just one month's deposit because you seemed like a nice young lady with good education and a good job. Never thought you'd cause so much trouble after just two days. Why don't we end the lease? I'll refund your rent and deposit, just move out tomorrow!""What?" Kaylee was stunned. "Uncle, please listen to me, I'll definitely resolve this properly.""Let me be frank - the neighbors told me everything about reporting your father to the police. He worked hard to put you through sc

Chapter 39

Kaylee didn't know how long she cried, only stopping when she seemed to have exhausted all her energy.The car had stopped.The cabin was completely quiet.After her mind went blank, Kaylee even had a moment of amnesia, forgetting where she was.When she realized where she was, she wasn't sure if William was still in the car.Still hidden under the suit jacket, she wiped her tears carefully before slowly lifting her head, gripping the jacket's collar with both hands.William sat beside her, looking out the window.The driver had stepped out.The interior lights were off, but through the faint light from outside, she could see they'd reached their complex.Noticing her sitting up, William turned his head slightly and said, "Wait in the car. I'll go handle the situation with your father.""No need, I can handle it myself."Kaylee hastily wiped her tears and pulled a tissue from the car's tissue box.She carefully cleaned her hands before taking off his suit jacket, meticulous

This proved William really did keep a low public profile.Seeing Kaylee's hesitation, William said, "Then wait in the car, I'll deal with him.""No, no! Let's go together."Kaylee quickly chose the second option.As they prepared to leave, William pointed to the driver and said, "Give me your suit jacket and car keys, then wait at a distance. Don't stand near the car."Though confused, the driver complied and took off his suit jacket.William was taller than the driver, who was heavier built.Suits were always tailored to fit.The driver's suit looked noticeably ill-fitting on William, making both the clothing and him appear less expensive.They quickly walked to the building.Looking from a distance, Kaylee didn't see anyone, and almost all the stairwell lights were off.She looked up at her apartment.The living room was pitch black, without any light.There probably wasn't anyone there."Maybe everyone's gone..." Kaylee turned to William. "I'll go up and pack some thin
