Just then, Jackson suddenly entered the room. The doctor gave him a slight nod and explained, “Mrs. Blair has suffered a miscarriage…”
But Jackson cut him off before he could finish, saying, “Giselle, you’ve rested long enough. It’s time to regain your strength. Rosalie will be living with us from now on, so we’re having a welcome party for her tonight. As the lady of the house, you must come to welcome her.”
Before I could say no, he tossed a dress to me and left.
That evening, I changed into that dress and went to the party.
I tried to find a quiet corner where no one would notice me.
But as soon as Rosalie saw me, she shouted loudly, “Giselle, you’re here? Come over quickly! From now on, I’ll be counting on you. Please take good care of me.”
Suddenly, dozens of eyes turned toward me.
Their stares made me tremble with fear.
I looked down nervously as Rosalie came over, pretending to hold my hand.
“Giselle, could you please say a few welcoming words on stage for me? Without your greeting, I wouldn’t dare move in.”
I nodded stiffly, feeling like this was public humiliation.
Rosalie started crying again, and Jackson looked upset.

He stared at me harshly and asked, “Do you still want me to clear your
name or not?”
Whether he cleared my name or not, it no longer mattered. I was more afraid of what Jackson might do next.
I dragged my heavy feet as I slowly walked onto the stage.
I clutched my dress tightly.

Though I didn’t dare look up at the crowd, I could feel their gazes on me and hear their cruel whispers–hard to bear.
I tried to push away my fear.
“I… welcome Rosalie into our home.”
After saying that, I quickly left the stage–then suddenly, the sides and straps of my dress tore open!
I was almost exposed in front of everyone.
Laughter erupted, and harsh insults flew my way.
“Just like a shameless woman, flaunting herself in public!”
“What does she think of Jackson? He’s so kind. If it were me, I’d have divorced her long ago. Anyone who wants a woman like this can have her!”
My mind went blank. I scrambled to cover myself with a rag.
Jackson’s face showed no emotion as if this were all planned.
My heart felt like it was breaking, and I struggled to breathe. Why was this happening to me?

Why was it that, even after I’d agreed to everything, I was still the one to be thrown into despair?
I squatted on the floor, shaking all over. I was so sad that I couldn’t even
cry.
Jackson walked slowly toward me, crouched down, and said in a cold voice, “Giselle, this is the only way you’ll fully accept Rosalie and lose the courage to go against her.
“I’m doing all this to make sure Rosalie isn’t wronged, so my deceased buddy could rest in peace.
“Be good. I will end this tonight. From now on, I’ll treat you ten times better, even a thousand times better, and give you all my love.”
I looked into Jackson’s eyes with a faint smile, thinking he must be crazy.
Just as he reached to lift me up, Rosalie suddenly groaned, clutching her stomach.
“I’m about to give birth, Jackson, save me!”
Without hesitation, Jackson left me behind.
“Take Giselle home!”
He hurriedly gave orders to his friend, Charles Reece, before rushing Rosalie to the hospital.
Charles helped me up, his eyes full of disdain.
As I walked past the crowd in the stands, dozens of cameras turned toward me, and people whispered behind my back.
My vision blurred, shadows overlapping before my eyes.

One by one, these attacks crushed my spirit long ago.
I pulled away from Charles‘ grip and ran as fast as I could.

When I reached the hallway, I didn’t hesitate and jumped down from the upper floor.
At that moment, I felt free.
Jackson had just taken Rosalie to the operating room and was a bit worried about me, so he was picking out a gift to cheer me up.
Right after placing the order, he got an urgent call from Charles.
The voice on the other end was scared, “Jackson, Giselle… she jumped off the building!”
