Charles suddenly said, “So in Dr. Harris‘ eyes, insulting you means liking you? Then you must
have quite a few admirers.”
His comment made me burst out laughing.
Since that video was played in public, people have been gossiping about Madison.
Madison stormed off while cursing under her breath after failing to get me away.
The celebration party began with Sally taking the stage to deliver a heartfelt speech. Behind her, a large screen displayed a montage of her research accomplishments over the years, emphasizing her hard work and dedication.
However, the mood suddenly shifted at the end of the presentation.
The security footage from my house showing Madison tampering with my medication, followed by my being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance due to complications from Sally’s experimental drug, appeared unexpectedly in the video.
The footage played without any warning.
The video concluded with several interviews where the speakers‘ faces were pixelated.
“On the day of Ms. Wills‘ surgery, Dr. Harris unauthorized allowed Dr. Brown to perform the
operation, which resulted in the patient going into cardiac arrest during the procedure!”
“Yes, I can confirm that Dr. Harris claimed the surgery was successful, but within two hours,
Ms. Wills had to be rushed back into surgery due to a brain hemorrhage!”
“Not only did Dr. Harris refuse to take responsibility, but he and Dr. Brown went on vacation
together!”
“People who show such disregard for human life don’t deserve to be doctors!”
The failed experimental drug and the deliberate medical malpractice instantly turned the
two of them into the center of everyone’s attention.
Both of them turned their attention to me.
Madison screamed hysterically, “It’s her! She’s just bitter about being dumped, so she made
this fake video to frame us!”
I raised an eyebrow and said, “Still trying to turn this around on me? Well, I’ve got another
surprise for you.”
“Look at how old she is, and she still demanded a complete set of diamond jewelry before agreeing to marry me. She would throw a fit if I didn’t buy it, always pestering me for designer bags. Where was I supposed to get that kind of money? I had no choice but to buy her knockoffs… She’s such an idiot, actually believing I was wrapped around her finger and taking everything I said at face value.”
This recording captured Madison’s last two sentences from that day.
I turned my head to look at Sally when I played the recording.
Gone was her confidence; her face now showed humiliation and rage.
The luxury bag she was still clutching was immediately called a fake.
“This new model hasn’t even been released yet. Someone like Madison couldn’t possibly get
her hands on an authentic one.”
The person who spoke up was the wife of a researcher from Sally’s laboratory.

As soon as she finished speaking, the large screen played footage of that researcher’s intimate encounter with Sally.
The researcher’s wife stormed forward and slapped Sally hard across the face.
“You sl*t!” she screamed.
Sally stood there in shock from the slap.
Madison panicked, desperately defending himself under everyone’s mocking stares as he
swore he’d never knowingly purchased counterfeit goods.
I snatched the bag from Sally’s hand and handed it to the authentication expert I’d brought
along.
After a thorough examination, the expert made his definitive assessment.
“It’s fake and not even a high–quality replica,” he declared with absolute certainty.
“I bought it from an authorized dealer!” Madison exploded, his face red with anger. “They
must have scammed me too!”
While Sally was still in shock, I grabbed the diamond bracelet from her wrist and rubbed it
with a fork, instantly causing the fake diamonds to fall off.
Sally stared at the scene with her mouth agape.
In the next second, she let out a piercing scream and lunged at Madison, but before she
could do anything, Madison shoved her away.
As chaos erupted at the scene, uniformed police officers arrived with arrest warrants.
I kept my eyes fixed on Sally and said with icy composure, “You didn’t seriously think drugging me without my consent was legal, did you?”
While I was still in the hospital, with Charles‘ help, I had the lab doctors extract my blood
samples, which revealed traces of those drugs.
This evidence became the crucial piece we needed to arrest Sally.
When the police grabbed Sally, Madison’s face turned ghostly pale, and she tried to make a
run for it.
But the quick–acting officers managed to restrain her just in time.
As I watched her being pinned to the ground for resisting arrest, I looked down at her with a
cold smirk.
“Without your help, she couldn’t have used me as a lab rat. Did you really think you’d get
away with it?”
Madison roared in rage, “You b**ch! You f**king b**ch!”
I fixed her with an icy stare.
The police finally led both of them away.
I gave him an icy glare.
The police took both of them away.
With the dust settled, Charles and I went out for a celebratory dinner with a few glasses of
wine.

We walked out of the restaurant together.
We stood side by side on the curb, waiting for our ride.
Suddenly, Charles‘ voice broke the silence, his tone playfully teasing.
“So, what do you think now? Isn’t a childhood friend better than some random guy who dropped into your life?”
I turned to look at him in surprise, wondering what he was getting at.
Charles cleared his throat awkwardly and averted his gaze, seeming nervous as he spoke.
“Would you… consider giving your childhood friend a chance?”
Under the streetlight, I noticed Charles‘ ears turning bright red.
My Uber pulled up, and I slid into the backseat.
Just before the car started moving, I rolled down the window and, watching Charles‘ crestfallen expression, softly said.
“Well, you better step up your game then, childhood friend.”
Charles‘ face lit up instantly.
But before he could respond, I signaled the driver to go.
In the rearview mirror, I saw Charles, who always prided himself on being Mr. Cool, jumping up and down like an excited puppy.
Two years later, I married Charles in an extravagantly romantic ceremony that exceeded all my expectations.
The day we returned from our honeymoon, I received news of Madison’s release from prison.
He had nothing left. As soon as he was convicted, I’d petitioned the court for an asset investigation. Apart from his legitimate salary, his illegal income had been frozen and seized.
And even his legal income had long since been squandered by his parents during his two years in prison.
With no chance of returning to the hospital, he scraped by in some dingy clinic, earning a pittance.
Another year passed, and Sally was released.
Thanks to my discreet intervention, she tracked down Madison and became an incessant presence in his life.
What had once been mutual attraction transformed into a toxic relationship filled with mutual loathing.
In a twisted turn of events, Madison, who had taken out substantial life insurance policies for his parents and Sally, ended up being the first to meet his demise.
Sally was immediately arrested and charged with murder, as she had been the one to pull the trigger.

I cut my losses at the right time, and now I enjoy a blissful marriage and a flourishing care. And I firmly believe my happiness and success will continue for all the days to come.
