Chapter 6
1 desperately fought the urge to dry heave.
But Lysander thought my silence meant I was interested, and he shamelessly continued: “Sera, help your uncle ask your dad for mercy. Let me come back to the subsidiary.”
“If news of my dismissal gets out, my perfect public image will crumble, and I won’t be able to make it in this industry anymore.”
‘I promise from now on I’ll just watch you from afar, protect you, never disturb your life…”
He tried to grab my hand as he spoke.
“‘d had enough.
grabbed the baseball bat from the entryway and beat Lysander to the ground.
If you’re sick, go see a fucking veterinarian! Stop disgusting me!”
I was just a kid and you were already having perverted thoughts! You creepy old bastard!”
hit Lysander’s back with another swing, then kicked him in the face several times.
Taking my family’s salary to find a substitute! And you have the nerve to act all romantic in front of me! Even pads aren’t as shameless as you!”
he commotion brought Mom and Dad running from inside the house.
When they learned about Lysander’s confession, both their faces went green.
hey’d treated him like a real brother, and he’d been lusting after their daughter?!
ad grabbed the baseball bat while Mom went bare–handed, both of them beating the shit out of Lysander while alling him a “beast” and “animal.”
hey kept going until Lysander passed out.
ad called our driver James to strip Lysander naked and dump him at the door of the city’s biggest gossip media

She Slandered
Chapter 8
This whole holiday period left me feeling absolutely disgusted.
When I went back to Ocean University for classes, I was shocked to see Rachel there.
Somehow she’d managed to keep her part–time teaching position despite having a criminal record.
Rachel smugly showed off the ring on her finger. “Seraphina, see this? It’s the engagement ring Lysander gave me.”
‘So what if you’re young and good at playing the victim? In the end, he chose me!”
‘Lysander told me everything–he was just temporarily confused by you before, but now he sees clearly that I’m the one who truly loves him!”
That’s when I found out.
A few days ago, after his complete public humiliation, Lysander had crawled back to Rachel when he had nowhere
lse to turn.
He not only forced Vivienne to get an abortion and cut all ties with her, but also bought Rachel a huge diamond ring
o win her back.
And Rachel, that completely delusional romantic fool, actually chose to forgive Lysander’s cheating!
remembered the threats Rachel had made at the hospital, and I had a bad feeling about this.
ure enough, that afternoon she transferred to my department and started making snide remarks in class.
Some female students here might look pure and innocent on the surface, but they’re actually quite manipulative
ehind the scenes.”
Seducing their own relatives, putting on that fake sweet voice, even cutting their wrists for attention–you all better
ot follow that example.”
achel kept glancing at me while she spoke.
his got all my classmates staring and whispering about me.
Seraphina always talks in that cutesy voice–turns out it’s totally fake.”
I saw online that she was playing some twisted uncle–niece fantasy with her uncle–in–law, but it backfired. How an she just sit here so calmly in class?”
I heard she used her family’s money to force Rachel to apologize to her…”
Online?
