Chapter 3
“I don’t need your money.”
Aaron tugged at my hand hard with a dark face.
“Evelyn, have you made enough of a scene? Can you support yourself alone?
“Sometimes, I don’t understand you!
“I purchased skin care products and jewelry for you, yet you never made use of them. I urged you to dress up, but you came up with endless excuses to decline!”
Whenever I got into an argument with Aaron, he invariably had a penchant for bringing up our past disputes.
He always criticized me for not using the skin care products he had bought. However, those products made me allergic.
He always blamed me for not wearing jewelry, yet when I did wear a piece, people would jeer at me, claiming it was a fake.
He always faulted me for my unfashionable clothes, but as a government employee, I couldn’t wear fancy garments.
Noticing that I remained silent, Aaron became more aggressive.
“Why don’t you say anything? Do you plan to go back to your
Chapter 3
hometown to marry someone?!”
Upon hearing these words, I looked at him with wide–eyed disbelief.

After the SAT, my family held me captive and compelled me to get married.
It was Aaron who came to my rescue.
He made a promise to protect me from danger forever.
But it appeared to have slipped his mind.
He had become no different from those hateful guys back then.
I hailed from a troubled family.
I was thrifty by nature.
But what is wrong with me?
Tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart ached as if it had been
crushed.
I made no reply.
I completely realized that Aaron would always be the same.
He would never feel that he was at fault in any situation.
I took the suitcases and insisted on leaving.

Aaron flew into a rage and hurled my suitcases to the floor.

Instantly, the two suitcases broke in half, and the things that had only recently been packed came spilling out.
“Aaron, we have broken up. You have no right to touch my belongings!”
Aaron seized my hands and yanked me back.
His strength was so great that my head collided with the corner
of the table, and blood instantly flowed into my eyes.
Despite blinking desperately, I couldn’t see anything.
In a panic, Aaron rushed over.
“Evelyn, don’t be afraid. I’m sending you to the hospital right
now.”
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
Rachel’s weak voice came through his cell phone’s stereo.
“Aaron, I’m at the entrance of your residence. I’m vomiting blood. What should I do? I’m in pain.”
Aaron instantly grew anxious and released me.
“Evelyn, wait for me. Rachel’s cancer has flared up. I’m going to take her to the hospital right away!”

Blood blurred my vision, and all I could make out was a hazy figure ahead.
I clung to Aaron’s leg to prevent him from leaving.
“Aaron, I can’t see. Help me call…”
He kicked me away without hesitation.
“I fucking told you to wait. Can’t you understand?
“Can’t you even wait for a while? Are you rushing to your death?”
I couldn’t manage to get to my feet.
Yet, Aaron had disappeared long ago.
The door slammed shut!
Fortunately, I had set the emergency number as my emergency
contact.
By the time the ambulance arrived, I was already unconscious.
The doctor declared that I had a concussion.
During my two–day hospitalization, Aaron neither called nor messaged me.

No update notice popped up on my phone screen.
When I was discharged from the hospital, Sarah Murphy, Aaron’s mother, called and invited me to the Murphy Villa for a meal.
I intended to decline, but as the words were about to escape my lips, I held myself back.
Sarah was different from Aaron.
She was quite nice to me.
When I was abused by my family in high school, she ran around and solved the matter for me.
Only then was I able to break free from my hellish family.
Subsequently, Aaron and I had been in a relationship for eight years, but he didn’t even propose to me. Instead, he grew increasingly close to Rachel.
Sarah was so furious that she introduced a lot of excellent men
to me.
“Evelyn, you’re a wonderful girl. I won’t allow Aaron to mess up your life. Tell me if you want to leave him. I’d love to be your godmother.”
Upon my arrival at the Murphy Villa, I noticed that Sarah had a dark face.

I entered the villa, only to find that Rachel and Aaron’s friends were also there.
As soon as they saw me, their expressions immediately turned odd.
“Why is your injury so serious?”
Aaron approached me and attempted to touch the corner of my bandaged forehead.
I took a step back and gazed at him indifferently. “You should be well aware whether it’s serious or not. After all, it was you who pushed me.”
Aaron frowned. “Do you have to be so sarcastic?”
Ignoring him, I went upstairs to find Sarah and told her about our breakup.
She instantly burst into tears.
“Aaron is a fool. Rachel, who was brought up by the Parker family, is extremely crafty. They only spent three years together during their childhood, yet she insists she’s his childhood sweetheart. But when the Murphy family faced difficulties back then, the Parker family cut off their connection with us more quickly than anyone else!
“Even though you broke up, I am still your godmother. We have ten years of friendship, and you can’t distance yourself from
Chapter 3
me.”
During the meal, Sarah served me food several times.
Rachel held the plate and complained, “Sarah, you only care about Evelyn. Why don’t you dish food for me?”
Sarah looked indifferent. “Evelyn is like my own daughter. What’s wrong with me offering her food multiple times?”
Rachel couldn’t help but shed tears.
In an instant, the atmosphere became embarrassing.
Aaron immediately served Rachel some food.

She took a bite. However, all of a sudden, she covered her neck and coughed nonstop, and her face flushed red, as if she was on the brink of choking.
“There are shrimps…”
“Oh no! Rachel, you are allergic to shrimp!”
Aaron immediately rose to his feet and yelled at the maids, “Didn’t I warn you not to prepare shrimp dishes? Why did you
still make this mistake?”
A young maid trembled and finally glanced up at me.
“We didn’t prepare any shrimp dishes. However, just now, I seemed to have caught sight of Ms. Taylor entering the kitchen

with a jar of something. I–I saw her hide it in her bag.”
I was puzzled. “What does this have to do with me?”
Aaron bought the maid’s story. He glared at me with a straight face and turned around to search through my bag.
“Aaron, what are you doing? You have no right to rummage through my bag!“.
“Evelyn, are you feeling afraid?”
I reached out to stop Aaron, but he shoved me away.
The next moment, my bag was ripped open. With a clatter, the glass jar fell to the floor.
At once, the air reeked of a sharp shrimp stench.
Aaron glared at me, as if he had caught the conclusive evidence.
“Evelyn, admit it. Here is the evidence!”
I froze for a moment, instantly realizing that this was a plot
against me.
I soon calmed down. “It’s not mine.”
As soon as the words escaped my mouth, Rachel weakly explained, pretending to defend me, “Aaron, don’t blame Evelyn. Perhaps she didn’t do it on purpose.”

Aaron, in a state of fury, grabbed hold of my neck and thrust me
in front of her.
“I have no idea whether she did it on purpose or not, but I am sure that she tried to kill you!
“Evelyn, you’re so vicious. We were the ones who cut your hair. Since you are quite bold, come at me!
“Why did you harm a patient? Apologize to Rachel, or I will kill you!”
Aaron exerted his maximum strength, and I couldn’t break free at all.
It was only with Sarah’s help that he finally released me.
I coughed desperately, as if I had just been on the edge of death!
I never anticipated that Aaron would jump to the conclusion that I was the culprit without a moment’s hesitation!
My calm demeanor crumbled, replaced by heartbreak.
I raised my hand and slapped Aaron so hard that my palm turned numb.
“A fingerprint analysis on this jar of shrimp paste will show who had their hands on it!
“That’s not an excuse for you to attack me again!

“Aaron, I won’t put up with your actions anymore. I’m calling the police!”
