Chapter 8
David’s face froze.
Owen’s mouth dropped open, his eyes red and full of disbelief. “How could that be?”
He suddenly remembered the mess in the storage room. Standing there like he was glued to the spot, he muttered, “Kelly said those things were worthless trash…” ་་
Just then, my phone rang. Caught in the public opinion storm, Kelly couldn’t hold back any longer. Ditching her usual gentle demeanor, she snapped furiously, “Celine, you really take the cake! I underestimated you.
“Do you think a single video can defeat me? Your husband and son still believe in me; they can’t live without me.
“I suggest you leave quietly before I make you.”
Listening to Kelly’s provocation, I stayed calm. But Owen, like an enraged calf, grabbed the phone from my hand and yelled at her, “Shut up! Don’t you dare talk to my mom like that!”
David’s face got really dark, and his voice got serious. “Celine, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.”
He quickly threw out some reassuring words before rushing off with Owen, thinking that dealing with Kelly would make me forgive him. But he totally missed the indifferent look on my face.
Once I was sure they were gone, I called Sophie.
“It’s time for the next step.”

In the video, Kelly is driving with a sinister smile on her face. I’m in the passenger seat, begging her to slow down, but she cuts me off impatiently.
The next second, a runaway truck smashes into us head–on. As flames burst out, Kelly turns and runs away.
The video caused an immediate uproar.
“Is that a pregnant woman in the passenger seat? Kelly actually left a pregnant woman and ran!”
“The passenger is the same person she framed in the last video. How much does Kelly hate her for keeping victimizing her? I feel so sorry for
her.”
Meanwhile, the truck driver who caused the accident also came forward.
“It was all Kelly’s scheme. She contacted me eight years ago and asked me to deliberately crash into the car she was driving!”
To back up his claim, he released a secretly recorded audio clip. In the recording, Kelly said viciously, “I want you to ram into my car hard. It would be great if you could kill Celine!
“Also, when David arrives, tell him Celine was driving. I’ll back you up.”
She didn’t hide her murderous intent toward me, having planned all her escape routes in advance.
Netizens were shocked by her viciousness. The internet exploded.
After watching the video, David frantically called me. I didn’t answer, instead blocking and deleting all his contact information.
I met up with Ethan, bringing the remaining evidence. He had already

Ethan looked grave. “Celine, if you want to completely take down David, we need concrete evidence of him drugging you.
“Sophie hasn’t found it yet. You might need to wait.”
It didn’t bother me.
I’d already spent eight years in bed. What else was there to be impatient about?
Ethan reminded me, “Celine, you could talk to David.
“He’s probably feeling really guilty right now. He won’t say no if you ask to see the doctor in charge.”
