Chapter 4
The police arrived quickly.
I reported Rachel for assault, and we needed the hospital’s security footage as evidence.
The video played frame by frame from the beginning, and I finally got a clear look at the girl with Lysander.
She looked about 70% like me, but definitely wasn’t me.
It was a girl from my university–Vivienne Cross.
Because we looked similar, I remembered her clearly.
Rachel stared at the security footage in disbelief, muttering to herself:
“Impossible… how could this be someone else…”
Buzz buzz-
My phone got a message from Dad.
“Sera, I figured it out. That animal Lysander actually found himself a substitute for you! He’s so guilty he won’t even take my calls!”
My dad was the CEO of the biggest corporation in the city, after all.
Not only did he work fast, but he sent me all the detailed information.
Lysander had been keeping Vivienne Cross as his mistress for a year.
But he was already in an established relationship with Rachel at that time.
Too greedy to give up Rachel’s wealthy family background, Lysander chose to play both sides, even wanting Vivienne to secretly have his baby.
Probably worried about Rachel finding out, Lysander changed Vivienne’s WhatsApp contact to mine–a younger relative he barely talked to–to cover his disgusting tracks.
I felt so nauseated I almost threw up.
I shoved my phone right in Rachel’s face.
“See that? The woman he’s cheating with is Vivienne Cross!”
Rachel’s expression shifted from shock to something twisted, her voice becoming shrill and grating.

“Seraphina, you don’t think this gets you off the hook, do you?”
“Flies don’t land on uncracked eggs! If you hadn’t been acting all pure and seductive around him, why would Lysander go find a substitute who looks like you?”
“Lysander already admitted it in the private room! You’re the shameless one who seduced him first! You gave him unrealistic fantasies!”
I was stunned by her insane logic.
Even the police officer standing nearby frowned at her words.
Rachel suddenly smiled coldly. “You go to Ocean University, right? How convenient–I’m an adjunct instructor
there.”
“I’ll make sure to spread the word about you! Let’s see which colleague will let a manipulative slut who seduces her own uncle pass their class!”
Even now, she still believed that bullshit Lysander had said in the private room, still thought I was involved with
him.
I’d originally felt sorry for Rachel–thought she was a victim like me, completely deceived by Lysander, and I was going to let this go.
But now I could see she and Lysander were cut from the same cloth–both completely fucking delusional!
I stopped hesitating and turned to the police officer.
“I refuse any compensation or mediation. I want her detained!”
