Chapter 9
The hospital lights were pale and cold, casting an eerie glow over the syringe in Yuna’s hand. The needle glinted sharply, making the air feel even colder.
Just as she was about to move, Gideon’s eyes snapped open. His frail, bony hand shot out with surprising strength, clamping tightly around her wrist.
Though weak, his voice was steady and painfully clear.
“A few nights ago, you broke into my study at midnight, afraid I’d uncover those filthy photos of yours. You tried to kill me then, but your knife missed my heart and left me clinging to life.” “Even while I lay in a coma, you couldn’t stop. You’ve grown so cruel you came here to finish me
off!”
“I raised you, Yuna. Do you hate me so much that you need to see me dead?”
His chest heaved with anger and pain.
Yuna stumbled back, the syringe almost slipping from her grasp. Her face twisted as the mask she had worn for years shattered at once.
“You old bastard!” she cursed, her voice sharp. “If you hadn’t forced me to leave Jason back then, I wouldn’t have turned into this. You deserve to die!”
Her eyes burned with madness.
“And once you’re dead, there will be nothing standing between me and Jason. We can finally be together forever. Hahaha!”
She had no idea that the surveillance camera in the corner was streaming everything live to the
internet.
Comments flew across the screen.
[My God! This woman is pure evil. How ungrateful!]
[Gideon raised her for years and gave her everything, yet she turned out like this.]
[And Jason is just as disgusting. Like, wasn’t he messing around with his sister?]
[Rich families are wild. Even TV dramas wouldn’t dare show something this twisted.]
Just as Yuna raised her hand again, ready to knock the old man out and plunge the needle into his skin, the door burst open. Two doctors and security guards stormed in, wrestling her to the ground.
Realizing she had been exposed, her face immediately went pale. “No! Impossible! I covered my tracks perfectly. How could you know?”
One of the doctors smirked, pulling out his phone to show her the live stream. “Don’t even think about struggling. By now, the entire internet’s watching.”
Then, she crumpled to the floor, her eyes dull with despair.
Meanwhile, Jason sat in a car speeding toward the hospital, his palms slick with cold sweat as he watched the live stream. When he saw his father saved, he let out a shaky breath and slumped against the backseat.
Then the broadcast abruptly ended. Social media feeds returned to normal.

Jason’s phone lit up. A video call request appeared, showing my face. My gaze was icy and sharp, cutting straight through the screen.
“Jason Gardner, do you like the little gift that ruined you all?”
His eyes widened in shock as the truth hit him. I, Scarlet Blaine, was the one behind everything.
In just one day, everything had changed. For the first time, he saw clearly that his wife-no, his ex-wife-was not the woman he once thought he knew.
‘Scarlet, where are you?” he blurted into the phone. “Let’s meet. Whatever the misunderstanding, we can talk and fix it…”
curled my lips into a mocking smile, too bored to listen any longer and ended the call. Across the world, I leaned back in my chair, calmly watching my plan unfold.
Honestly, I had no desire to have anything to do with them again. But after all I had endured over the years, I couldn’t bear seeing them live so happily.
So, they could take this little act as my parting gift.
Knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door. “Crimson Hawk, training time.”
‘Coming!”
shut my laptop and stepped forward, ready to embrace my new life.
