I saw Sophie trembling. Mark and the rest could tell from her expression that something bad was about to happen.
Finally, the police took Sophie and Dickson away together. My parents and Mark naturally followed.
Before getting in the car, Mark took a long look a me. In that look, there was disappointment and anger mixed together.
I ignored him because soon, he looked at Sophie with the same look.
I came to the roadside and was about to hail a tax when Ralph pulled up right in front of me. I was a little surprised, “You haven’t left?”

Ralph replied, “I was a little concerned. After all, you haven’t fully recovered. Come on, I’ll send you home.”
I was a little stunned… Home? I no longer had a home.
However, I still got in the car and spurted out the name of a random hotel.
Ralph was surprised, “No way? You didn’t even ask for the house when you got divorced?”
I said frankly, “I wanted to start over in another city, so I only asked for one point five million dollars.”
Ralph was left speechless, “That’s too little.”
I rolled my eyes.
Soon, we arrived at the hotel, I thanked Ralph and then checked in at the reception for a month’s stay in a suite.
I only ate and slept over the next few days. After my body was fully recovered, I began to plan the rest of my life.
A fortnight later, a post suddenly went viral on the Internet.
The post was about a girl and her boyfriend who were looking for excitement in a dark street, but they were bumped into by a few gang members.
The gang members saw the opportunity and jumped on the couple.
In order to protect her, the girl’s boyfriend had a head–on confrontation with the gang members but was later knocked out.
The girl was violated. Afterwards, her boyfriend wanted to call the police, but the girl wanted to use this incident to win the sympathy of her best friend’s parents and gain tremendous
wealth.
The girl promised her boyfriend that as long as he helped her slander her best friend, she would get the inheritance from her best friend’s parents and marry him after he was released from prison.
The boyfriend was dazzled by the benefits and was willing to be titled a rapist.
However, when he was imprisoned, the girl killed her boyfriend’s sister – who knew about their relationship – in order to maintain her image as an innocent woman.
The girl’s boyfriend was an orphan and was raised by that very sister. When he found out, he vowed to take revenge on the girl when he was released from prison.
Then, the girl was investigated, and all the gang members confessed. They testified that her boyfriend was not an accomplice.
The hidden truth had now been uncovered after many years, and that the girl would face jail

time.
The post concluded, “Sadly, in these eleven years, her kind best friend was kicked out of the house by her parents and abandoned by her husband and son. They will never know how many times she saw a psychiatrist during those years of distrust and how many deep scars she had on her wrists. Even now, she still takes antidepressants with swollen eyes each day.”
I stared at these last few words in a daze, and unknowingly, tears burst out of my eyes like a broken dam..
