Anna was completely stunned by the slap. She stood there, dazed, unable to gather her thoughts for a long time.

It was understandable, really. After all, things had been going well for her. For all these years, I was the one who had been humiliated, the one who got slapped, the one made to feel like a worthless fool

Who could have predicted that I would be the one to reverse the situation, leaving her with no escape?

All those tactics I once despised felt so satisfying when I used them on Anna. No wonder she always relied on them.

Sheila, of course, still cared about her daughter. "Luke, don't just listen to her side of the story. Anna, tell us what really happened.

"Mom, it's her! She cursed my baby, saying that both of us will die on the operating table! That's why I threw the soup at her!" Everyone's gaze instantly turned toward me. Tears streaked my face, revealing the pain in my expression.

"Anna, I know it must be hard for you with everything between you and Luke coming to light, but you two took the initiative to have an affair. If you want to stir up trouble, you had to see it through. I just heard that you hadn't eaten all day and that you have a heart condition. If you don't take care of your health, things might go wrong during the surgery. I was just trying to look out for you. How could you slander

me?"

I quickly turned the situation around, throwing the blame back on her, framing her outburst as one born of shame after being caught in her affair.

Adam furrowed his brow and scolded, "Zoey was just trying to help you, and this is how you treat her? She didn't say anything wrong. You've always had a heart condition, which makes pregnancy risky. Now you're planning to have an abortion, and you haven't even taken care of your health. What if something goes wrong?"

Sheila didn't seem pleased with me, but she couldn't come up with a better response, so she fell silent.

Anna, with tears in her eyes, clutched Luke's hand. "Luke, it's her. She started all of this. She cursed our child."

Anna was now following in my footsteps, became the one who had to desperately explain herself.

But the truth is, people who truly believe in you don't need any explanations. Those who don't believe you won't be convinced no matter what you say.

She was so najve, really. After all the years Luke and I spent together, how did he treat me?

If he could do that to me, wouldn't he do the same to Anna?

I'd long seen through the selfishness of this man, but what I didn't understand was why Anna kept clinging to him. She was so clever, yet she couldn't let go of Luke.

If she hadn't been a hopeless romantic or true love, it had to be something about her marrying into the
