Chapter 6
Sensing that the atmosphere had shifted, Lily Hall looked toward the audience in confusion, and even Dylan Watson’s face turned ashen.
Her breathing quickened as she scanned the room, but no one explained what was happening. Finally, her gaze landed on the screen behind her.
As she turned around, the screen flickered to life, displaying a video.
It was the surveillance footage from the day Lily Hall and I had our confrontation in the stairwell.
“Last time you went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, didn’t you? Too bad every

time I feigned a depressive episode or said I wasn’t feeling well, Doctor Watson would drop everything and run to me–including you.”
“Men are so easy to fool. A little fragility, a coy gesture, and they’re wrapped around your finger. So what if you’re his wife? He still gives all his love to me.”
“The one who isn’t loved is the real mistress. I’d suggest you step aside and let me take my rightful place.”
The video, crystal clear, played out on the large screen in the auditorium, showing how Lily Hall had grabbed my hand and pushed me downward. It also revealed how, when Dylan Watson appeared, she pretended to be the one being pushed, when in fact, she had firmly gripped the handrail and secretly shoved me.

In the footage, Dylan Watson appeared panicked as he grabbed Lily Hall, pushing me in his haste.
I had been mere moments away from grabbing the handrail.
It was because of his push, and his disregard for me, that my child was lost forever.
“Surveillance… wasn’t it broken already? This can’t be happening!”
I couldn’t help but laugh inside. Dylan Watson had told her the cameras were down, so she felt free to act without consequence.
Little did she know, while Dylan Watson was too busy flirting with her, Evelyn Wilson had secretly had the cameras fixed.

“No… this isn’t true!”
“Stop it!! This isn’t me!!!”
Lily Hall, no longer the calm and graceful figure she once was, screamed hysterically.
But no one paid her any mind.
The video continued.
I had saved every image of the so–called “affection” Lily Hall had flaunted on Facebook, aimed directly at me, along with the photo of my marriage certificate with Dylan Watson.
Her posts were frequent, and Dylan Watson interacted with her in the comments just as often.
In the photos, under dim lighting, Lily Hall

was straddling Dylan Watson, her clothes disheveled as she kissed the man in front of her. Her eyes, however, subtly glanced toward the camera, full of provocative intent.
At the same time, the screenshots of Dylan Watson lying to me, claiming he was going to meet with a client, were attached.
There were countless comparisons like these, and murmurs rippled through the audience. Some students, eager for drama, even recorded and streamed it live.
Lily Hall, pale as death, collapsed onto the floor, her despair illuminated by the flash of
cameras.
I sat back, legs crossed, watching this masterpiece I’d carefully crafted over time, nodding in satisfaction.

Suddenly, Lily Hall spotted Dylan Watson in the crowd. Desperately, she reached out, as if grabbing at a lifeline, but when he didn’t move, she crawled toward him in a pitiful attempt to seek his help.
At that moment, I seized the opportunity and clicked send on Dylan Watson’s chat interface.
The next second, upon seeing the message, Dylan Watson’s face turned ashen. He spun around and bolted away.
“What did you send him?”
Evelyn Wilson had quietly come to sit beside me without my noticing.
“I told him that the child he never believed in, the one he sent away with his own hands, is now displayed in the living room of his

home.””
After hearing my words, Evelyn Wilson fell silent.
After a moment, she gently turned toward me and gave me a soft hug.
A warmth flooded through me, the silent kindness of a girl bringing peace to my heart.
“Thank you, Evelyn. If you hadn’t secretly copied the surveillance footage and risked helping me, their dirty deeds wouldn’t have been exposed on the spot.”
“It’s nothing” she replied. “I just didn’t want them to live too comfortably after everything they’ve done.”
“Besides, Claire, you’ve been so good to Doctor Watson. Not only has he failed to

appreciate your kindness, but he’s also treated you so unfairly. He really doesn’t deserve you.”
Evelyn Wilson grew angrier with each word, her fists clenched as if she wanted to punch Dylan Watson right then and there.
I couldn’t help but smile and gently ruffle her hair.
“Don’t worry, this all started because of him, and I certainly won’t let him get away with it.”
“The video you sent today–I’ve made sure to send it to all the partners at his company. By now, they should have received it.”
I lifted my gaze to Lily Hall on stage, her face as pale as death.
“Back then, she acted all righteous, thinking

that true love conquers all”
“Now, she’s being called a mistress at the top of everyone’s lungs. She should have woken up by now”
Evelyn Wilson sneered.
“She brought this disgrace upon herself. At least now she’s getting a taste of what it’s like to have her reputation destroyed in front of the whole school”
I shook my head and glanced at the police report on my phone.
“It’s not just that”
A siren wailed in the distance.
“Ms. Lily Hall, we’ve received a report alleging that you are involved in intentional

harm and even attempted murder. Please come with us”
“No… I didn’t.”
The police officers, their faces emotionless, dragged the limp Lily Hall into the police car
The gift I had prepared for her was more than just a mental blow–it also included the legal consequences she truly deserved.
