I thought that with me in such a state,after this, Lucas would see Sophie’s true face.
But he snapped impatiently:”Sophie said you crashed on purpose to frame her.I didn’t believe it at first,but it’s true.Jealousy drove you to risk lives…Jenna,you’re so vicious.No wonder my family hates you.I’m so disappointed!”
He hung up.
Who would sacrifice their own life to harm others?
I unwillingly called him several times, but no one answered. Later, I was blocked.His cruelty fueled my rage and hate.
Under the intense emotional fluctuations, I spat out a mouthful of blood onto my phone and the bed. The smell of blood filled my nostrils.
The hospital corridor buzzed as medics rushed me back to surgery.
Before entering,I saw Lucas,back to me,holding Sophie in a hospital gown, and they were so affectionate that they looked like a couple deeply in love.
She leaned to kiss him.
At that moment,my limbs and heart froze.
“Her organs just stopped bleeding,now they’re bleeding again!”
“She might not make it.”
Medics’voices buzzed in my ears,relentless.
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
Would the pain go away if I died?
But I saw Lucas scolding me,Sophie gloating he’d save her,their kiss outside the surgery room—I couldn’t die!
I wanted to live and get justice for myself!
Over the next half a month, I was admitted to and discharged from the ICU three times. Even the medical staff thought it was a miracle that I had survived.
But from admission to discharge,nearly two months,Lucas never visited or called.
As soon as I was discharged, I went home.
After two months,the house was transformed—women’s clothes and shoes everywhere.
My jewelry and bags were trashed,clothes piled like garbage.
A photo of Lucas and Sophie sat in the bedroom…
Every time I thought I had already understood how shameless they were, they could always cross my bottom line.
I bit my lip until it bled,then released.
Lucas wasn’t at home, and I was still on his blacklist. Calling him was useless, so I could only drive to the laboratory at his school to find him.
On the way,I called the police,reporting the crash two months ago wasn’t an accident—Sophie grabbed the wheel,causing it.I asked them to arrest her at the lab.
I soon arrived at the laboratory. Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I was stopped. “Sorry,Ms.Brooks,your access card’s invalid,”the guard said.
“Impossible.I’m on Lucas Moore’s research team.Maybe the card’s faulty.Call him.”
The security guard had seen me many times before and agreed to my request.
He called Lucas,then handed me the phone.
Lucas said coldly:“You haven’t been to the laboratory for two months. Do you think the experimental data will wait for you?”
I gripped the phone:”Lucas,you have no conscience.I nearly died,hospitalized for two months!”
““That’s your own fault. Who told you to hurt Sophie. From now on, you’re off my team.Sophie’s taking your place,and your data will bear her name.You owe her!”
I was a top-tier PhD,yet Lucas replaced me with a sophomore.
He really had the nerve to do such a thing!
I wanted to curse,but he hung up.
Sophie sent a smug text:
[Your man’s mine,your research is mine,your wealth is mine…Jenna,when you gave me your old computer and clothes,humiliating me,you should’ve seen this coming!]
She withdrew it,but I’d seen it.
She had once knelt in front of me and cried, saying that her family favored boys over girls and refused to pay for her tuition, so I sponsored her.
She said that her clothes were all worn out and she was always laughed at, so I was afraid that she would have a heavy psychological burden and bought new clothes, cut off the tags, and gave them to her.
She said that she didn’t have a computer, so I gave her my new computer that I had only used for a month.
In her mouth, it all became intentional humiliation?
I frowned and wanted to delete this disgusting person. But before I could press the delete button, Lucas texted:
[You want to kick Sophie off the team?Jenna,with me here,you can’t touch her.My team—you’ll never join again.You’re unworthy!]
Until just now, I had wanted to leave some dignity for them and ask them to come down and talk.
But I changed my mind.
They’d done shameless things—they deserved every curse and consequence!
The police arrived.I went in with them.
Seeing me,Sophie hid behind Lucas:”Lucas,Jenna…Jenna’s here…”
Her voice was trembling, as if I had bullied her.
Lucas fell for it.
He rushed forward,shielding her:”What are you doing here?Get out,or I’ll call security!”
He even tried to push me, but was stopped by the police officer beside me.
Standing next to the police officer, I said,”I’m here to arrest someone!Sophie grabbed the wheel,endangering public safety.You’re protecting her,even trying to harm me,the victim.Are you obstructing justice?”
