Kevin’s father offered me a deal with 20% of his
shares.
I thought it was a good deal and agreed to help the Whites at the shareholders‘ meeting.
But at the last moment, two uninvited guests appeared in the office.
“Lisa, do you think you’re the only one who can help the Whites? Linda can too. She went abroad this time just for me, to earn a status worthy of mine.”
Kevin was particularly smug, even hugging the

woman closer when he noticed my gaze.
But such a scene was simply foolish and
ridiculous to me now.
I politely nodded to Kevin’s father and
withdrew, leaving the stage to Kevin’s “great
hero.”
Although I didn’t know what Linda’s sudden return was for, it was definitely not something
good.
Fortunately, I had already extricated myself from this whirlpool; all this pain was no longer
mine.
If Kevin liked it, he could enjoy it slowly.

Whether by chance or fate’s lingering ties, I ran into Kevin and Linda arguing when I went to visit Kevin’s father in the hospital.
How could someone as greedy as Linda be
satisfied with just 20% of the shares?
She wanted the entire White family fortune.
When I heard that Kevin had tacitly approved of everything, not only Kevin’s father but even I
felt a chill.
His own son, whom he had raised for over
twenty years, ended up helping an outsider plot against him.
In ancient times, such betrayal would deserve divine punishment.

Seeing Kevin’s father’s unwillingness to cooperate, Linda panicked, forcefully grabbing his hand to sign the share agreement.
I was just an outsider with no right to interfere.
I don’t know if it was an overflow of
compassion, but I not only interfered but also planned to send this bitch to the police station.
However, everything happened so fast that before I could react, I fell into a pool of blood.
It was Kevin; because I called the police and had Linda arrested, he tried to kill me.
A small knife, precisely aimed, plunged into my
heart.

Before losing consciousness, I cast a final glance at the overhead incandescent light.
I didn’t know if it was the last thing I’d see in this lifetime.
Memories of my life flashed before my eyes like a marathon of images.
But those memories unique to Kevin were like being forcibly pulled out, leaving a gray blur.
A tear rolled down the corner of my eye.
Kevin and I, we’re truly finished this time.
After half a month in the ICU, the first news I
heard upon waking was that the White family

had changed hands.
In the end, Kevin’s father actually died at the hands of his beloved son.
Kevin’s mother, unable to bear the shock, went
insane.
In that moment, I suddenly understood the bone–deep disgust Kevin had once described to
- me.
It’s a feeling that genuinely makes one physically uneasy even at the thought of it.
That’s how I feel about Kevin now.
But I had once “ruined” Kevin and Linda so
badly. How could a woman like her pass up this

opportunity to rub it in?
Yet, in all her calculations, she overlooked one thing: Kevin no longer held a place in my heart.
They arrived hand in hand, the same rings adorning their ring fingers.
“Lisa, speaking of which, you’re kind of the
matchmaker between Linda and me. You must
come to our engagement party next month,” Kevin deliberately emphasized the words
“engagement party.”
He wanted to see me embarrassed, wanted to
see me go crazy over him.
Then he could stand on the moral high ground, condemning me as a fool who dared to interfere

in someone else’s relationship.
But I didn’t. I remained calm throughout, as if listening to an insignificant piece of news.
