Chapter 8
1 looked up and an unexpected person appeared before my eyes,
Lexie’s eyes were filled with hatred: “You, Frida, I lanew you didn’t die! Do you know that you ruined me?”
“Frida, you destroyed me, hiding here like a thief, and now casually flirting with other men as if nothing happened!”
Darnell frowned upon hearing the words and stood in front of me. Lexie’s hair was a bit messy, no longer looking as exquisite and beautiful as before, and there was madness in her eyes.
She sneered, “With such a talented Art Museum design, you went to great lengths to make the entire Instagram of Welch University go viral. Even my former mentors came to ask me if it was your design.”
As soon as I saw the photo, I knew it was your design blueprint.
“Why did you keep lingering on! Destroying my happiness!
“What? You’re not satisfied that I built a shopping mall based on your blueprint? And now you’re challenging me by deliberately constructing an Art Museum?“!
“What qualifications do you have to compare yourself with me, you piece of trash?
Her harsh words sent a chill down my spine. We used to be best friends, and we would talk about everything.
But she took away Lapton and captured all of Alberto’s attention.
Even so, she was not satisfied and wanted to trample me under her feet.
From beginning to end, I never hated her, but she hated me to the core
I coldly looked at my former “best friend” in front of me “I never thought about competing with you or ruining your so–called happiness. It’s you who used dishonorable means to snatch Layton away and then went to provoke Alberto.”
“The Art Museum was originally my idea, and you used my drawings without permission and made it look
“What, now that Layton and Alberto don’t want you anymore, you come to me to settle scores?
completely different.”
As soon as the words fell, Lexie’s face instantly changed: “Frida, you bitch! Why
Why don’t you just die for read! End it all?!”
“It’s all because of you, you bastard! You made me lose my child, made Layton divorce me! Made Alberto ignore me!”
She took a few steps closer again and said, “That recording, you deliberately had someone release it, didn’t you? You actually faked your death and framed ime, You’re really talented!”
“Tell me, did you achieve it by relying on which man you slept with? Let me advish you, don’t be too proud!”
I sympathetically glanced at her and said, “Lexie, please watch your language.”
“Lexie, you were jealous of my engagement with Layton, so you secretly dated him behind my back and even provoked Alberto. You even made Alberto steal my drawings. You should bear the consequences for using such despicable means.”
“Everything, it was all yo
your own fault ”
Her face turned pale in an instant, and she raised her hand, wanting to hit me
Darnell blocked her and received a slap. Damell’s handsome face instantly turned red, with a clear imprint of the slop
instantly got angry and slapped her hard, “Have you gone crazy?! It was your own wishful thinking to compare yourself with me
“I never thought about competing with you for victory or defeat!”
Happestrance. Yet,
Lexie covered her face and laughed manically, “Look at you, what I can’t stand the most about you is this pretentious and self–righteous app teachers and classmates all like you the most. You are truly hypocritical”
“Frida, you have no way to run. Today, I will make you, this despicable person, pay the price!”
She bypassed Darnell’s obstruction, swiftly approached me, and suddenly pushed me with force.
| couldn’t dodge in time and was about to fall heavily to the ground.
“Frida!” a cry of surprise rang out, the familiar voice filled with joy and excitement, but also mixed with fear and concern.
Chapter
Alberto rushed over and steadied me with his hands
Due to inertia, his hand was grazed by the pebbles on the ground, causing it to bleed.
I quickly stood firm and kept my distance from him.
He looked at me excitedly, his gaze firmly locked on me, as if he was looking at a precious treasure that had been lost and found again. “Great, Frida, you’re fine. You’re alive, you’re doing well”
I had never seen Alberto in such a disheveled state before; he looked so worn out as if he would shatter with a touch.
Originally tall, after losing a lot of wright, he looked empty in his clothes.
His voice was hoarse as he kept repeating. “Frida, you were still alive, that’s great, that’s great.”
Lexie saw it and a flash of hatred passed through her eyes.
She sat down on the ground, her voice filled with sorrow, “Alberro, I also fell down and got hurt, please come and help me up.”
As he spoke, tears filled his face
Alberto, however, ignored her completely and just kept looking at me.
Damell rudely said to the two uninvited guests, “I’m sorry, today is the opening day of my Art Museum, and I didn’t send you an invitation. You are not welcome here, please leave”
Lexie was still on the ground, almost choking. “Alberto, do you really not care about me anymore? Look at me.”
Alberto turned around and glared at her, “Shut up! If it weren’t for you pestering me that day, Frida wouldn’t have been in danger!”
After speaking, he looked at me again, his eyes filled with the joy of regaining what was lost and the intense remorse of pleading, “Frida, I was wrong. please come back home, I will change everything”
His eyes were filled with humility: “As long as you are willing to forgive me, whether you want to start a construction company or build an Art Museum, I will fulfill your wishes.”
Lexie saw that no one was helping her, so she had to single to stand up on her own. She angrily shouted at Alberto, “Alberto, how dare you treat me like this! Didn’t you used to enjoy chasing after me before? Don’t you love me anymore?
“On the day i got married to Layton, you got me drunk. After I got pregnant, you built a shopping mall for me. Have you forgotten everything you did for me?!
“Can’t you see, Fride has already found a new home?!
Darnell spoke up in a timely manner, “Enough! Please, both of you, stop making noise and never disturb Ms. Hensley’s life again.”
Alberto glanced at Darnell with hostility and asked, “Who are you? What is your relationship with me?”
He turned back to me and said, “Frida, I know you still have me in your heart, don’t you?”
“Did you just want to provoke me by using him?”
“You can hit me, scold me, as long as you can forgive me
Alberto suddenly thought of something and explained anxiously, “That blueprint, the blueprint you mentioned! It was Lexie who bribed the nanny to steal
“Frida, I swear to God! I really didn’t give your drawings to her! Trust me!”
I felt bätter in my heart, but my tone was very calm: “Alberto, from the very beginning, you never loved one. Our marriage, from start to finish, was just a mistake,”
But he shook his head and looked at the with a determined expression. The next moment, he knelt down in front of me and said, “No, Frida, I was just tempted by her. It was my foolishness to think that I loved her.”
“When I heard about your accident, my heart almost stopped beating. I wished I could have died with you, Frida. It is you that 1 truly love!”
Darnell gestured towards the security personnel, and several burly men approached us.
Finding that no one paid any attention to her, Lexie suddenly went crazy and pulled out a prepared utility knife from her pocket, stabbing towards me. “Frida, since you like playing dead so much, why don’t you just die?!”

In the blink of an eye, D
Darnell stood in front of me and raised his hand to stop Lexie’s charge
The sharp blade pierced into the arm, and blood gushed out instantly.
The security personnel quickly pinned Lexie to the ground.
Lexie’s face was being stepped on the ground, but suddenly she burst into laughter and said, “Frida, you promiscuous woman, hahaha. You will get your comeuppance sooner or later!”
I nervously supported Darnell, “Darnell! Darnell! Are you okay?”
Behind me, Alberto stared blankly at my receding figure, wanting to speak but unable to utter a single word.
In the hospital, I watched as the doctor treated Darnell’s wound.
Fiona was anxiously pacing beside: “Uncle, I was just busy in the venue, how did you get injured? You’re so useless…”
Darnell glanced at Fiona, and suddenly she realized. Her eyes shifted, and she said, “Um, I’ll go pay the fees first.” After saying that, Fiona quickly lett
I apologetically said to Darnell, “I’m sorry, Darnell, I hurt you.”
Darnell smiled calmly and said, “Actually, I am glad that it was me who got hurt.”
4 looked at her with mixed emotions and said, “Darnell, you must have heard what Lexie and the others just said.”
“My past, in fact, had many unpleasant experiences.” “I moved here because I had a failed marriage with Alberto”
Darnell held my hand and said, “Frida, every relationship had its own purpose.”
“Unrequited love only signifies incompatibility, not your unworthiness.”
“I could wait, wait until you were willing to let me into your world.”
I sighed lightly and reached out to touch his cheek that had been hit by Leske. “Does it hurt? I’m sorry, it’s all my
Darnell stopped me from continuing to berate myself, saying “It’s not your fault, blaine that crazy woman instead.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, but then my expression turned somewhat melancholic. “I’m sorry, Darnell, my heart has been broken a few times before, and maybe it will take a long time for you to wall..”
Darnell chackled lightly, his magnetic voice bringing an extra sense of comfort.
“It’s okay, then I’ll wait for you, piece by piece”
“Don’t worry, I never forced you to do anything you didn’t want to do.”
“Let me stand by your side, even if only as a friend. Do you know that when you are working seriously, your whole being is radiating light. ”
The next morning, I actually saw Alberto again downstairs at the company.
