---- Chapter 8 Back at the present moment, I shook off Greyson's hand. Hatred swam in my eyes, and I felt the urge to tear him apart. "Yes, it was your baby!" His eyes immediately turned red as he said hoarsely, "I thought it was... I didn't know it was my baby. I wanted to lead you in the right direction. I thought you were pregnant with a thug's baby?" Iwas filled with extreme hatred, and I could not help laughing. " Lead me in the right direction? Didn't you force me to drop out of university? You forced everything!" Elise's expression was malicious.
"You're just unlucky!" Iwas indeed unlucky. I was abandoned by my parents when I was little and then by the Tromp family. Depression, stalked, dropped out of school, and abortion... This journey had been tough, yet I endured it and made it through! 1 bent over laughing. Finally, 1 swallowed the anger stuck in my throat and wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm unlucky? It doesn't matter! I've already made it through! I'm doing well now, but that might not be the same for you." I took out the voice recorder. Elise screamed from the bed, wanting to get up. "What are you trying to do!
Nicola, I won't spare you if you release it!"" I aughed as I watched her crawl toward me from the floor, her hospital gown stained crimson with blood. I pressed the button, and her voice echoed through the ward. Elise stood frozen, looking at Greyson as she explained anxiously, " ---- No! Greyson! Let me explain! It's not like that! She fabricated it! It's fake! That's not what happened!" Greyson frowned as he looked at Elise in disbelief. "You're that vicious? You're really cruel! I'll prepare the divorce papers. Let's just get a divorce." Elise crawled toward him, crying hysterically. "No!
I just lost my baby. You can't do this to me! I really love you! Please! Please don't leave me! Didn't you tacitly agree to what I did back then?" Greyson kicked her away, pointing at her and yelling, "When did 1 ever agree?" Then, he grabbed my shoulders, explaining, "Nicola, I really didn't know! I didn't know she hurt you like that! Ignorance is no crime. I really didn't know!" I shook off his hand and pushed him away forcefully. Caught off guard, Greyson fell against the corner of the wall, hitting his forehead and drawing blood.
I trembled uncontrollably, pointing at him and yelling, "Shut up! You were the one who got me expelled! You were the one who caused my photos to be all over the place. I also lost my baby! Greyson! Are you innocent? You're telling me you didn't know what Elise was thinking? Didn't you hear the things she said? Didn't you suspect anything?" He opened his mouth but did not know what to say. "You two deserve to die!" I frowned deeply, my expression filled with disgust. ---- "Tl never forgive you!" With that, I turned around and left to go to my superior's office to apply for leave.

Unlock to read full on web
Web currently shows a short preview only. Unlock with gold or subscribe Premium to read the full novel content.
HelpGold & Premium FAQHow unlocking works on this reader page.
What does Gold unlock?
Unlock full novel spends Gold once to open every chapter of this book permanently on your account (the unlock does not expire for that title).
Unlock one chapter spends Gold for this chapter only (about 2,250 Gold here).
Top up on Buy Gold, then use the unlock buttons on this page.
What is Premium?
Premium is a site-wide subscription while your plan is active.
It helps you read locked content across many titles without unlocking each novel with Gold.
On the web reader, the first 5 chapters are free to preview; later chapters may need Premium, a novel Gold unlock, or a single-chapter unlock.
Gold vs Premium — which should I choose?
Choose Gold if you only want this series: one payment (about 510 Gold for the full novel on this book) unlocks the whole story forever.
Choose Premium if you read many locked books and want one subscription for the whole site during your billing period.
You can use both.
Cancel Premium auto-renewal?
On the Premium page after subscribing, or on your
account profile — use Cancel auto-renewal. Premium stays active until the end date shown; only future renewals stop.
