25 Having lost both parents, according to the principle of primary guardianship, Tommy should be raised by Jack’s parents. But when Leo took Tommy to the old mansion, Tommy seemed to have anticipated something. The car stopped at the entrance of the old house, but Tommy refused to get out. He pursed his lips, tugging … Read more
24 Leo asked Tommy if he knew where his father was. Tommy was silent at first, but after a long while, he slowly nodded. Jack and Ella’s bodies were found. On a remote island. The autopsy determined that Ella had been murdered and had suffered inhuman torture before her death. She was missing three or … Read more
23 Leo’s guilt towards me became the blade of my revenge. The police traced the clues and found the vehicle used to kidnap me. Through the car’s dash cam and surveillance footage, they basically confirmed Ella’s crime. There were no cameras installed on the beach, but there was a detection tower nearby. The camera on … Read more
22 22 After death, my soul lingered in this world. The system explained that it would take some time to establish the space–time tunnel, and told me to wait. I floated on the sea surface. Leo, carrying my pale corpse, passed through my transparent soul and walked towards the shore, looking lost. Tommy ran up … Read more

Perhaps realizing that I was deliberately provoking him, Jack looked at me with complex emotions, as if he had lost all his strength. “Do you really want to die so badly, Mia?” Without … Read more
18 There was a sound of intense fighting outside the door. In my daze, I seemed to hear Leo’s voice. “She’s severely depressed now! Severe depression! She needs treatment, not to be locked up in this cramped room. She’ll go crazy! Do you want her to die?!” I wasn’t sure who won this fight. But … Read more
17 How laughable. Even now, Jack was still protecting Ella. When he couldn’t pin the crime on me anymore, he found another scapegoat. He really was as cowardly as ever. I really couldn’t understand why the system chose such a terrible person as the target fo me to win over. Some seemingly devoted secondary male … Read more
16 “Don’t call me mommy,” I said, looking up at him. “Put those things down and get out of here.” Tommy didn’t move, stubbornly holding onto the blocks. His expectations dashed, his eyes welled up with tears, and he suddenly burst into loud sobs. Between sobs, he choked out, “No, I want to call you … Read more
