It's giving runaway wives and we're here for it!

Chapter 8 With that, I left directly, pulling open the stairwell door. Reika was standing outside in a daze. Since returning from the hospital, Reika would often sit by the window, staring blankly into space. When I asked what she was thinking about, she wouldn't say. "Reika, come here quickly! I have something to show you." There she was again, sitting by the window. I waved my hand in front of her face, and only then did she snap out of it. Then I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the living room. She laughed as we played around: "Slow down!

What's so urgent?" I kept it mysterious: "You'll know when you see it." On the living room table, a pile of photos was stacked high. I took the photos and flipped through them one by one for her to see. They were intimate photos of Asuka and Marcus. "Look, I knew something was off between Marcus and her that day. At the banquet, Marcus's eyes were practically glued to her." "So I had someone investigate, and what a discovery! This really paid off." "No wonder he betrayed me and sided with Asuka - turns out these two were secretly together!" I got more and more angry as I spoke.

"Was I not good enough to him before? How did I end up raising such an ungrateful bastard? I was so blind." Even though I'd already cut ties with Marcus, I still felt hurt. "What a pair of scumbags!" "Alright," Reika hugged me, gently comforting me: "But you gave them a lesson, didn't you?" I looked at her smugly: "Of course." "This was the big gift I sent to Ethan." "I sent all the photos I collected to Ethan, and he was furious." "That same day, Asuka was kicked out of the house by him.

Marcus, with his disabled hands, was despised by Asuka, who scammed all his money!" "Then after Asuka spent all the money by herself, she pathetically went back to beg Marcus to take her in." Dan It! 14.99% Chapter "The two of them fought outside for days, but somehow made up - truly birds of a feather. Now they're living in poverty, sometimes eating, sometimes starving." Reika looked at me suspiciously: "That's it?" My best friend really knew me well. "I had someone post all their disgusting deeds online, which enraged all the netizens.

Now they get cursed at when they walk down the street and don't even dare come out." I laughed heartily - bad people would be punished by others for us. As for the Mitchell family, they declared bankruptcy the day after the banquet. I even had them secretly beaten up. Ethan stayed in the hospital for a whole month. After telling her everything, I looked up at Reika. But she just said they got what they deserved and didn't say anything else. I remembered that last time I saw Ethan. Reika had suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't find her anywhere.

When I finally found them, breathless from searching, Ethan was holding her tightly. His face was pale, tears falling in big drops. Reika bit hard into his arm, but he seemed to feel no pain, letting the bright red blood flow. As I approached, I heard Ethan saying: "Don't, don't leave me, please?" Hearing this, I immediately jabbed the branch I'd just picked up hard into his back. After a long moment, Reika finally spoke, her voice filled with suppressed sadness, but also relief. "Ethan, it's really over between us." In that instant, it was as if all the strength drained from Ethan's body.

He let go of Reika. I immediately pulled her over and shielded her behind me. Ethan looked at us, opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing. In the end, he left alone in dejection. A month later, Reika and I designed a piece of jewelry together. We named it 'Phoenix Rising'. It means that all the painful moments from the past will burn away, and something beautiful will rise from the ashes.
