Chapter 8
I walked to the town entrance.
My mother was sitting right on the hood of a car.
She slapped her thighs and wailed loudly.
“This is so unfair!”
“I raised that daughter of mine from the ground up, and now she’s gone and run away with some strange
man!”
“She’s turned her back on her whole family!”
A circle of local residents gathered around, watching the spectacle.
Seeing me approach, my mother instantly jumped down from the car.
She rushed right up to me.
She raised her hand, aiming a sharp slap at my face.
I stepped back, easily dodging her.
“You dare dodge me?” my mother shrieked, completely losing her temper. “Pack your bags and get back
home right now.”
“Mina’s wrist is ruined, and she can’t finish that tapestry.”
“The investors said if we don’t deliver the goods tomorrow, we have to pay thirty million dollars in liquidated
damages.”
“You are coming back with me right now to rush the work. Do you hear me?”
She ordered me around as if it were completely justified.
To her, I was just a soulless tool.
Jensen stood to the side, chiming in to help her.
“Everlee, thirty million dollars is no small amount.”
“The Crowe family will go bankrupt.”
“Even if you’re angry with me, you can’t just ignore your family’s survival.”

He took his first love’s hand. She walked out and found her mate that…
I looked at the two self-righteous people in front of me.
Suddenly, I laughed. “What does the Crowe family going bankrupt have to do with me?”
My mother’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re a Crowe! You belong to the Crowe family! You dare say you
won’t help?”
I reached into my canvas bag, pulled out a document, and held it right in front of her face.
“Look closely. This is a notarized statement waiving my inheritance rights and severing our familial relationship. I had it processed the very day I left.”
My mother froze.
She snatched the document out of my hand.
She scanned it quickly, and her hands began to tremble violently.
“You… you’re serious?”
“What else? Did you think I was playing house with you?” My tone was entirely flat.
“From the time I was a kid, every piece of work I created was signed with Mina’s name.”
“She took all the honor and praise. You took the investors’ money.”
“Now that a crisis hit, why should I be the one to clean up your mess?”
My mother’s face turned sour. “How… how can you be so selfish? Mina has severe depression!”
“Depression?” I let out a cold laugh. “Mom, do you really not know what’s actually going on with Mina’s
depression?”
My mother’s eyes darted away instantly.
She didn’t dare look at me.
Jensen sharply picked up on the shift. “Everlee, what do you mean? What’s wrong with Mina’s depression?”
I looked at Jensen. My eyes held nothing but pure pity for him.
“Jensen, you pride yourself on being so smart. Yet you were played like a fool by a woman
“Mina doesn’t have depression at all. She paid a private clinic to fake her medical records.”
”
“That’s impossible!” Jensen shot back instinctively. “She slit her wrists and lost so much blood I saw it with
my own eyes.”

“Is that so?” I pulled out my phone and tapped on an audio file.
It was a recording of a call between Mina and her friend.
Before I left, I had hidden a recording pen in her room.
“Oh my god, that fake blood pack looked so real. It scared Jensen half to death.”
“Now he does whatever I say. He even stripped Everlee’s wedding dress right off her and gave it to me.”
“That idiot Everlee actually thought Jensen loved her so much.”
“All I ever have to do is act all fragile and helpless, and Jensen’s completely wrapped around my finger.”
In the recording, Mina’s laughter sounded incredibly sharp and piercing.
Jensen’s body swayed violently.
