Chapter 3

“Nicole,you murdered my grandson.I wish I could kill you.How dare you call me?”

Nicole closed her eyes,then opened them again and spoke calmly.“If I can prove Britney did all this,will you help me?”

After hanging up,she endured the sharp pain in her heart and dialed another number.She forced herself to speak.“I’m out of the mental hospital.When will you give me the evidence I asked you for?”

The person on the other end seemed surprised.“I didn’t expect you to actually get out.Looks like my good days are over.”She spoke with complete indifference and gave an address.“Come see me in three days!I’ll give it to you personally.”

Nicole hadn’t expected this person to actually claim she was Britney’s right-hand man.Not long after she entered the mental hospital,she’d been humiliated and tortured by Britney and this person.

Britney liked to record her torture,so her right-hand man helped by recording the video.When it was over,she leaned over and whispered,“Do you hate me and Britney?”

She smiled playfully.“When you can get out of here,I’ll give you all the evidence of her crimes.”

Nicole thought she was deceiving her,but she didn’t expect she actually had evidence.She met John seven years ago,when he was being chased and nearly died on the street.

He was covered in blood and didn’t dare approach her.It was her who brought him home and saved his life from the brink of death.That was how they fell in love.

When his mother disagreed with her marrying into the Griffith Family and made things difficult for her,it was John who stood up for her,stood in front of her and insisted that he would marry her.

Everyone felt that the gap between their statuses was too great and that marriage would definitely not be a good thing.They said they wouldn’t be happy.

After marriage,John treated her with respect and care,dispelling all rumors.Until three years ago,when she became pregnant with John’s first child,to help her relax,John brought in Doctor Britney,under the guise of taking care of her.

Nicole didn’t think much of it at first,until Britney deliberately showed her a photo of her and John in bed.

Nicole was furious and shocked,completely devastated.She wanted Britney to leave the Griffith Family,but she repeatedly provoked her.

Britney was known to use pitiful tactics,provoking Nicole’s outburst in front of John led everyone to believe she was suffering from depression and mania.

Later,Britney claimed she had a seizure and had thrown her child to death.Nicole kept explaining,but no one believed her.

Thinking back now,her heart was filled with coldness.Three years later,she stepped into the Griffith Family residence again.Three years earlier,their wedding photo had hung on the wall of the living room.

Now,three years later,that photo had been replaced with a picture of John,Britney and their child.

Nicole stared at the photo,her throat clenched.Even though she had long since given up hope,the sight still pierced her heart with an uncontrollable pang.

She watched as her once-favorite lilies were replaced with Britney’s favorite vibrant roses.The furniture and decor were all replaced with Britney’s favorite Korean style.And even the sheets in her and John’s wedding room bore traces of another woman.

She stared at John,her heart icing cold.Unable to contain her anger,she cried out,“We’re not divorced yet,yet you let another woman sleep in my bed and have a child with someone else.Do you forget I’m still your wife?”

The heartbreaking questioning froze the atmosphere.The next second,with a thud,Nicole was pinned against the wall by John.His fingers pinched her neck,his pupils piercing her as he stared at her with a hint of crimson.

“I was doing you justice by not killing you when you threw my child to death.Britney took care of me for three years and gave birth to my child,yet I can’t even give her a legitimate status.Who forced all this,I wonder?”

Nicole,unable to contain his anger,asked,“Why would you rather believe her than me?She was the one who killed our child!”Her voice trembled and a flicker of emotion crossed John’s eyes.

But before he could say anything,Britney slowly stepped forward,sighed softly and spoke from behind him.“Forget it.Nicole thinks it’s me,so it must be me!I’ve been cyberbullied for three years,so this one isn’t any worse.”

Britney’s smile faded and for a moment,John looked at her with pity.Turning to look at Nicole,his eyes instantly grew cold and he frowned.

“Three years and it seems you still haven’t learned your lesson.Nicole,if I can send you to a mental hospital once,I can send you a second time.”

This statement was effective.Nicole shuddered slightly and fell silent.That day,she was assigned to the servants’quarters.

While John was away,Britney played the video of her having sex in the mental hospital to humiliate her.

“Tell me,if John knew you were a filthy bitch,would he still let you stay in the Griffith Family?”

Nicole stared at herself on the screen,her face pale.“No,no!”

Britney slapped her face hard,her lips raised in a sneer.“Then shut up,Nicole.I let you out so you can see how happy John and I are.If you say anything you shouldn’t,I’ll kill you!You don’t want these videos to be seen by everyone,do you?”

Nicole’s pupils trembled slightly and she nodded slowly,lowering her eyes to hide the hatred in them.

For days,she had been forced to bark like a dog,humiliated and tortured by Britney.She looked up,her eyes numb and filled with extreme hatred.“Britney,your good days are about to end.”

Britney scoffed at her words and slapped her hard.“You're dreaming!Oh,right?You didn’t know this yet!John said he wants to divorce you.It’s you who’s going to be the one whose good days are about to end.”

Her smile couldn’t conceal her smugness.Nicole’s cheeks were swollen and her numb eyes held a look of determination.

Three days later,she walked to a coffee shop when she was hit by a car and thrown to the ground,covered in blood.

In the car,Britney was waving goodbye to her.Nicole lay on the cold ground,her blood instantly frozen.

She forced herself to stay conscious and called John.The call went through quickly and she endured the pain,wanting to tell John.

But before she could say anything,she heard a sneer from the other end.“Britney said you were in a car accident.What?Another plot to frame Britney?”

Nicole had a slight concussion,her head buzzing.She went blank at the words.She had never expected Britney to tell John.

Chapter 5

She spoke with difficulty.“John,believe me,just once.I really didn’t lie to you.If you don’t believe me,you can watch the surveillance footage.Britney deliberately hit me with her car.”

A sudden rage erupted from the other side.“Why don’t you just die?How wonderful it would be if you really did?You’re always playing this game.If you’re not tired of it,I am.”

Nicole felt cold all over and even colder than her body was her heart.She could still faintly hear Britney’s voice.“You’re so unlucky.How could you get into a car accident right after leaving home?”

John scoffed,“She’s just acting.Otherwise,why wouldn’t the other party have killed her?Someone like her deserves death.”

A surge of rage surged through Nicole and she fainted from the rage.She regained consciousness in the hospital.

The smell of disinfectant lingered in her nostrils.The woman,wearing sunglasses,handed her a USB drive.In it,she kept evidence of Britney’s crimes.

From bullying in high school to murdering her child and the humiliation she suffered in prison,she had saved them all.

To her immense shock,Britney had cheated on John and was not pregnant with his child.The woman curled her lips in a smile.“Nicole,I hope you can send Britney and me to prison.”

Even though the situation was clearly disadvantageous to her,she wore a relaxed smile.Nicole’s eyes were empty and numb as she looked up at her.“Why?If this evidence were made public,you’d be finished.”

The woman’s face was filled with disapproval.She said her sister had been bullied to death by Britney,but Britney’s background was too powerful and her countless calls to the police had received no response.

So,she hid by Britney’s side,becoming her accomplice,gaining her trust and obtaining the evidence of her crimes.

“Now,I’m finally free.I’ll give you the evidence.Whether Britney can be sent to prison depends on your ability.”

After she left,Nicole clenched the USB drive in her hand,took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Britney,just wait,I will tear off your mask and make you pay the price.

Nicole wanted to tell John about this,but she couldn’t do it alone.Moreover,John and Britney had always been together and Nicole could never be alone with John.

One day,she finally found the opportunity to show John Britney’s true face.Through the bathroom door,she was about to take out the USB drive when she heard Britney’s voice.

“John,you said you’ve always loved me and that you married Nicole only to repay her kindness.Our child is three years old now.When are you going to divorce her?Or have you been lying to me all along?”

Nicole felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave,frozen in place,her mind blank.In the bathroom,their figures intertwined.John held Britney,his deep voice filled with doting.

“Silly girl,how could I have let her out if I had lied to you?I’ll divorce her soon.She’s enjoyed my Griffith Family for three years and even went mad and killed my child.It’s time to repay her,no matter how great her kindness is.”

In an instant,Nicole’s eyes were red,bloodshot and her nails dug deep into her flesh.It turned out all of this had a hidden agenda.It was to divorce her and be with Britney.

She clutched the USB drive tightly in her hand and decided not to tell him.At that moment,she was completely devastated,hatred surging wildly within her.She called John’s mother.

“Mom,I have proof that Britney isn’t pregnant with John’s child…”
