"A greedy, scheming, dirty woman like you—did you really think you deserved anyone's love? You didn't even deserve Lianna's kindness!"

"Thank heavens I dumped you. Staying with a disgusting leech like you would've been the biggest shame of my life."

"The only useful thing you've ever done was bringing Lianna into my life. From now on, you can choke on the contempt of everyone around you. I'll make sure Lianna cuts all ties with you. Without her, let's see how you survive!"

His words hit like stones, and the crowd erupted in agreement.

The barrage of insults multiplied—comment feeds, streamers, onlookers—thousands of voices united in cursing me.

The crushing weight of being condemned by all... it was suffocating.

Even though I had braced myself, I still couldn't hold back. I broke down.

And then—Hubert's phone rang.

The caller was Lianna.

He answered instantly, only to be met with her sobbing voice, "Hubby... I... I lost the baby..."

Hubert's eyes reddened in an instant. "What happened?!"

Lianna stammered between tears, "It was Celestine... She insisted on going to a hotel with a bunch of male models. I tried to stop her, but she pushed me down... she's the reason I miscarried!"

Her words made the crowd gasp.

As for me, standing at the very heart of the storm—I finally let out a long, shaky breath.

It's starting. The end has finally come.
