I rang the doorbell nervously and waited for five minutes.

Liam, sleepy-eyed, came to open the door with a frown on his face.

"Evelyn, you're following me!?"

I took a deep breath and imitated him.

Be calm and restrained, as if you are negotiating a deal.

"Liam, we are in a business marriage, isn't it just keeping a few lovers? It's normal! As long as you and I are on the same marriage certificate, you can do whatever you want outside."

The surprise on his face was covered by anger.

"Why are you pretending to be a nagging woman? Do you think I will believe you? Evelyn, I have done everything I can for you! If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for killing you!"

My eyes quickly turned red.

I want to cry and make a fuss.

I wanted to shake his shoulders desperately.

I wanted to question him at the top of my voice, it was clearly him who changed his mind, so why could he accuse me so confidently.

But I held back.

I don't want him to hate me.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say! Sharing a husband? Sexless marriage? Even if she wants to bully me, I don't mind."

I pretended to be indifferent, but in fact I was a mean person to the core.

My love for him has already grown into my flesh and melted into my blood.

The pain of separation is no less than excruciating as flaying alive, draining the marrow from the bones.

Liam froze, turned around quickly, and closed the half-open door of the bedroom.

I didn't care and chased after him.

"Let me tell you this, Liam. If you have any other requests, just ask!"

He pushed me to the ground, his cold fingers gripped my neck, and his deep voice sounded like a ghost:

"You'll do anything to achieve your goal! And then what? You'll use other methods to control me! You'll hire a killer to kill Summer! Is that right?"

He took off the mask of coldness and alienation.

There was a terrifying murderous intent in those narrow eyes.

What the hell is he talking about!?

Falling into a suffocating feeling of near death.

I waved my arms and legs feebly.

The only consciousness left was confusion.

"Sister Evelyn, is that you?"

Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened.

Summer stood barefoot on the ground, her pale skin making her eyes look even more red and swollen.

"Mr. Hayes, please, don't do anything to Sister Evelyn, you, please let go of your hand first..."

With the sound of chains clanging, she staggered towards us.

Next second.

The shrill alarm rang throughout the house.

I was stunned by the scene before me.

Summer had a GPS alarm on her wrist and heavy shackles on her feet.

Liam carried her to the bed and carefully applied medicine and bandaged her bruised ankle.

"Summer, how many times has your brother told you that if you don't obey you will get hurt? Why don't you believe it?"

Summer tugged at Liam's sleeve, begging carefully and tearfully:

"I don't want to be a third party. Let's just forget about our relationship, okay?"

"It's just a marriage certificate, it's meaningless! My bride can only be you!"

Liam wrapped her in the quilt, not allowing her to show any skin.

The overbearing words revealed a morbid love.

I've never seen him look like that.

Even when we were in love, there was no such thing.

My stomach was churning with nausea.

Perhaps, this is what his true love looks like.

Or maybe, only in front of Summer would he be so emotional, even crazy.

Feeling my surprised gaze.

Liam turned his head, his eyes like sharp swords.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

"Evelyn, five years ago, the Reed family was standing behind you. I was a powerless useless person, and I could only be manipulated by you! I kept a low profile and pursued fame and fortune just to get rid of your control and walk in the sunshine with Summer!"

"You should be thankful that I, who was deceived by you, really loved you, so I softened my heart and let you go!"

Did I lie to him?

I was stunned for a long time.

I was trapped in that painful memory.

Five years ago, Liam declined Summer's donation for the following reasons:

"Donating a kidney is too harmful to your health. Summer is only eighteen years old. It's not worth it for a useless person like me to gamble with a little girl's future."

I tried different ways to enlighten him:

"If $50 million is not enough, then add 5 points of Reed Holdings shares, which will be enough for her to live the life of a rich lady."

Liam shook his head stubbornly.

The look that fell on Summer was filled with tender affection.

Since he fell ill, he has become more stubborn.

From giving up treatment to insisting on breaking up.

Fortunately, I can always use persistence to make him change his mind.

I thought it was the same this time.

I approached Summer with a check for $300 million.

I wanted to bribe her with money to help me convince Liam.

Summer is confused:

"I volunteered to donate my kidney, I don't want any reward! Sister Evelyn, it's my dream to become a doctor who saves lives! Unfortunately, I don't have parents, I don't even have food to eat, let alone the opportunity to study medicine! Fortunately, I have a special blood type, and I have saved more than a dozen people with my blood."

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

The people around me are all greedy and money-oriented.

My parents felt that my behavior of $50M reward for matching kidney had brought shame to the Reed family.

They took my shares, kicked me off the board, and cut off all ties with me.

In order to select an heir, Liam's father raised seven or eight illegitimate children.

When she heard that Liam had a terminal illness, she simply kicked him out of the house.

How could someone be so stupid as to not take the free money just to save people?

I handed the check to Summer and urged her to think it over.

She refused in a panic:

"I'm not selling my kidney, let alone 300 million US dollars, I don't want a penny!"

At that time, Liam's condition worsened and the hospital issued three critical condition notices.

Can't wait any longer!

I thought, Summer volunteered anyway.

Even if Liam gets angry afterwards, there's no reason to blame me.

So I told him the only lie in my life.

I bribed the doctor and pushed him into the operating room under the pretext of a checkup.

The operation was successful.

As agreed, I gave Summer $50 million.

She disappeared without a trace and was never heard from again.

After the operation, Liam became withdrawn and uncommunicative.

The cheerful boy turned into a paranoid workaholic and didn’t talk to me for a year.

I knew he was angry that I lied to him.

But I comforted myself that it is normal for people who have been through the gates of hell to have personality changes.

As long as he is alive.

Fortunately, our relationship gradually improved and we were able to put the belated wedding on the agenda.

Indeed, there have been rumors in the circle.

Mr. Hayes, who is said to be a model couple in high society with his wife, actually has a mistress in his house and has raised his savior into a canary.

At the time, I just laughed it off.

I naively thought that I was his savior.

But now, I have witnessed with my own eyes how crazy he is in love.

"Security! Drag this woman who broke into a private house out!"

Liam covered Summer's eyes gently, his voice was sinister and low.

A group of bodyguards in black quickly surrounded me.

I couldn't help shivering.

"Wait! I want to talk to Sister Evelyn alone!"

Summer struggled to get up and stopped Liam.

"no!"

Liam's face was hard.

"What can I say to such a cruel woman?"

Summer's words were quite helpless:

"Mr. Hayes, I have explained countless times that I donated voluntarily, and the killer incident was all a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with Sister Ran!"

Liam obviously didn't want to hear it and ordered the bodyguards to take action.

"Just five minutes, and I'll agree to marry you after that."

Summer's soft voice was unexpectedly powerful.

She changed her previous resistance and spoke sweet words.

Liam was coaxed into a state of affection and red ears.

Summer took the opportunity to suggest that she wanted to chat with me on the rooftop garden because she hadn't swung on the swing for a long time.

Liam hesitated for a few seconds and nodded reluctantly.

In the rooftop garden, Summer sat on the swing, closed her eyes contentedly, her skirt fluttering.

"I haven't been in the sun like this for a long time. The last time was probably... four or five years ago."

I suppressed my doubts and waited for her to continue.

Summer took out a letter from her skirt lining and handed it to me solemnly:

"Wait a minute, give this to Mr. Hayes, and he won't be mad at you."

I looked over to see Liam and the bodyguards staring at me, and I became even more confused:

"Liam is right there, why don't you give it to him yourself?"

Summer didn't respond and continued to speak:

"Mr. Hayes has always had a misunderstanding about you, but after today, he should be able to figure it out."

Through Summer's words, I gradually figured out the truth.

Liam's personality changed drastically after he became ill, and his feelings towards me began to waver.

Later, he fell in love at first sight with Summer, a fairy-like girl with a pure soul.

But I relied on lies to manipulate the kidney donation operation.

But after Summer received $50 million, she was stalked and threatened by evil forces. Even after donating the money, she could not stop the harassment.

Stubborn Liam is determined.

Not only did I force Summer to donate her kidney, I also wanted to take her life out of jealousy.

So he imprisoned Summer in the name of protection.

Every time I see the scary scar on Summer's waist that looks like a centipede.

He wanted to crush my internal organs.

But I am the only daughter of the Reed family after all.

Liam doesn't dare to touch me without the support of the Hayes family.

Fortunately, Summer has been speaking for me and presented solid evidence.

Liam then began to doubt and gave up trying to kill me.

Summer's eyes were filled with tears, she tapped the ground with her toes and stopped the swing.

"Sister Ran, I'm sorry for ruining the relationship between you and Mr. Hayes. But please believe me, I only regard Liam as a brother."

A line of tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

She jumped off the swing, her frail body swaying in the wind.

I held her and walked with her.

Only then did I realize that she was incredibly thin, and I could clearly feel her bones through the layer of skin and flesh.

"I believe you Summer! I'll help you talk things out with Liam and get him to let you go!"

She shook her head weakly and broke free from my support.

"It's useless. Maybe my existence is a mistake... But Sister Evelyn, you are so kind. I must return Mr. Hayes to you!"

I was shocked to find that she was not in the right state.

But it's too late!

I raised my eyes suddenly and saw a cliff thousands of feet high in front of me.

"No!"

Liam and I yelled at the same time.

Coming back to my senses, I reached out to grab Summer's arm.

But when he opened his palm, he only held a piece of the skirt.

Summer wanted to die to prove her loyalty and find liberation.

He jumped off a cliff and committed suicide right under my nose!

"You! How dare you push Summer! Someone, throw this bitch into the sea to feed the fish!"

Liam's eyes widened and he roared at the top of his voice.
