Chapter 1

Her emaciated body was ruthlessly pinned to the ground, her hands stained with blood.

“Look at you,” she heard a voice full of contempt say from above her. “The former most promising up-and-coming lawyer is now nothing but a worthless pile of dirt!”

Serenity Lewis raised her head with great effort and stared at the cold, exquisite face in front of her. Who would have thought that the most popular star in the entertainment industry who was as pure and innocent as white snow in the public’s eye could be so vicious in real life?

“Jenny Hall,” she spoke with a weak and trembling voice. “Why?”

“Why?” Jenny sneered. Her lips curled up in biting scorn as her sinister eyes glinted. “You killed my sister, and you dare to ask me why?!”

“It wasn’t me!” Serenity denied, frantically shaking her head. “I was wrongly accused!”

She laboriously tried to get up on her feet, and her eyes were fixed on the man standing next to Jenny Hall.

That man… was her boyfriend! That was the man who had promised to protect her for the rest of her life!

In the past, he would get distressed for a whole day even when a needle merely pricked her finger, yet now, all he did was watch silently as another woman tortured her.

“Z-Zeke…!”

Serenity shouted with all her might and pleaded, “I beg you… Please believe me…”

Outwardly, he was exactly the same as he always was—dressed in a smart suit and a pair of leather shoes—yet his eyes were icy cold as he stared at her. Gone was all the warmth. The only thing left was cold indifference.

“Zeke,” Jenny affectionately grabbed the man’s arm. Her ruthless expression changed as she faced him, and she now turned into an innocent woman who had been wronged. “You’re not feeling sorry for this woman, are you? I’m only doing this so my sister can rest in peace.”

“She brought this upon herself,” Zeke replied, gently stroking Jenny’s smooth silky hair as he continued, “She’s not worth any sympathy. Do whatever you like.”

Serenity’s eyes widened.
