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.

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…”

After hanging up,Nicole stared at the two of them through the bathroom window,her expression frighteningly cold.

Britney,you want to marry John,but I won’t let you.Soon,I’ll make you pay!

She kept the evidence and mailed it to John’s rivals:[When they get married,it’ll be the perfect day to expose them.]

For several days,whenever John went to work,she was forced to become the target of Britney’s humiliation.In John’s absence,her true nature was exposed,her sharp nails digging into her chin.

Nicole had long since grown numb;nothing she said could stir her emotions.One time,John accidentally saw the scars on her arm.He grabbed her hand,his expression turning cold and terrifying.

“Who did this?”His eyes were filled with tension and anger.Nicole curled her lips.“It has nothing to do with you!”

John was stunned for a moment,then angrily demanded,“Who is it?Whoever dares to touch you,I’ll kill them.”

“What if that person is Britney?Will you kill her?”Nicole’s tone was almost mocking and the anger on John’s face immediately faded.He looked at her with disgust.

“Britney is innocent and kind.She wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“So,you think I would?”She stared at him with sarcasm.John frowned,his expression still stern and he said word by word,“Nicole,Britney is not like you.I won’t let her come to any harm.”

Britney also knew about it and attributed the scars on her body to Nicole’s depression and self-harm.“John,I’m a doctor.I’m doing psychological counseling for her every day.Don’t be sad.”

What she meant by psychological counseling was actually daily torture and beatings.John easily believed it.

Nicole didn’t explain,knowing he wouldn’t believe anything she said.She was simply waiting for the right moment,waiting to maximize their disgrace.

One day,Britney stroked her sharp nails and said with a smile,“You’ve been out for so long,haven’t you contacted your parents?”

Nicole had a strange feeling of foreboding when she mentioned it,but she kept silent.She didn’t contact them because she feared Britney would find fault with her and even more so,she feared they would see her in this state.

She was about to clear her name before meeting them,but then she heard Britney say with a smile,“You don’t know yet?On the seventh day after you entered the mental hospital,your parents jumped to their deaths.”

Nicole’s breath hitched and she suddenly looked up,her eyes blazing.“You’re talking nonsense!”

How could her parents be dead?She was talking nonsense,irritating her like before.It had to be this way!

Nicole tried to remain calm,but Britney threw the news report at her.“If you don’t believe me,read it for yourself.”

Nicole trembled as she opened the report.When her eyes fell on the clearest words,her head buzzed and her vision went blank.

Pleased with her reaction,Britney spoke with almost pity.“When they learned you’d killed your child,they were cyberbullied and jumped off the building.By the way,this place was found by John.”

She continued,“I didn’t really take it seriously,but John was mad at me for being cyberbullied,so he exposed the incident and had people cyberbully your parents.I didn’t expect them to be so fragile and jump off the building out of frustration.”
