After beinCg discharged, I did not cry or make a fuss.
Lukas unexpectedly transferred some living expenses to me.
This was the first time in seven years that he lowered his head to me.
In the past, he used to initiate conversations with me, and I could reply with hundreds of messages.
But this time, I refused to accept it.
He sent a frustrated voice message.
“Kenley, you didn’t know any better, whether you wanted to accept it or not!”
That night, Lukas brought Renee back to the villa.
Seeing my pale expression, he angrily went to the study to start a video conference.
Renee approached me, with a mocking expression on her face.
“You see, your figure has completely deteriorated after giving birth. If I were you, I wouldn’t even have the face to stay by Lukas‘ side.”
She angered me.
In the past, whenever she provoked me even a little, I would engage in a physical fight with her.
But now I just watched her quietly.
Renee was annoyed by my direct gaze.
She saw Lukas coming out of the study.
She picked up the fruit knife on the table and cut her palm with it.
Suddenly, blood gushed out.
Renee handed me the dagger and then fell to the ground.
“Mrs. Ward, I just liked Lukas and wanted to spend more time with him, that’s all. Do you really want to kill me to silence me?”
This was Renee’s usual trick to set up someone.
In the past, I would have thrown away the dagger and explained to Lukas that it was Renee’s
11.90%
self–directed performance.
But this time, I didn’t throw away the dagger. Instead, I cooperated with her and played the role of
the abuser.
Lukas was still the same.
He pushed me away.
“Kenley, there should be a limit to being jealous, do you want to become a murderer?”
I was caught off guard and fell to the ground, with a dagger leaving a scar on my wrist.
I stared at the wound absentmindedly, hearing Lukas‘ angry voice,
“Apologize to Renee!”
Seeing that I was indifferent, Lukas pulled me up and pushed me in front of Renee.
Isn’t it just an apology?
I picked up the fruit knife from the ground and aimed it at the wound I had just inflicted, then I looked up and chuckled at Lukas.
“Are you satisfied with such an apology? If not, I can still…”
“That’s enough, Kenley!”
As I watched the blood flow from my wrist, a hint of concern flashed in Lukas’s eyes, and then he
snatched away the fruit knife.
“Are you crazy?”
He discovered that my wrists were covered with numerous scars.

His voice trembled a little.
“How did you get so many wounds on your hands?”
Over the past seven years, Lukas frequently brought women back.
Every woman was extremely arrogant.
They all, more or less, were like Renee, enjoying playing tricks, deliberately provoking me, and sowing discord between Lukas and me.
Some of the scars were left by Lukas’s lover, while others were left by Lukas standing up for his
11.90%
lover.
Lukas stared at my wrist for a long time, so long that I thought he would remember where the scars
came from.
I didn’t expect a smirk to appear at the corner of his mouth.
“Kenley, do you know a new trick now? Catching the cheater didn’t work, so now you’re trying to get my attention by self–harming, huh?”
Lukas clenched my wrist, causing me to wince in pain.
Thinking that I would be able to leave in three days, I no longer felt any pain.
