“Noah,a hundred deaths wouldn’t be enough!You filmed me,posted it—you dare?I’ll kill you!”
Judy roared,”Mike,someone’s after your son—save him!If he’s hurt,your family pays!”
Mike sighed,muttering,”Family shame…”
Karen and Lily wrestled Judy,trying to drag Noah out.
Judy fought like a lioness,but was no match for them.
“Mike, are you even a man? Someone is trying to kill your son, and you’re not going to help?”
Mike was still reasonable. He just stood there sighing and didn’t step in to help my aunt.
Mom wanted to help, but I stopped her.
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of me, I finally felt the pleasure of getting my revenge.
Karen and Lily overpowered Judy,ready to haul Noah to the police.
I stepped in.”Wait,no cops.Noah’s wrong,but we can settle this privately.”
“Mike’s got one kid.Jail would ruin their family.”
“You’re too harsh,destroying a boy’s future.Teens rebel—he’ll mature. Noah is quite smart. He made thousands effortlessly. The Perrys have a star.”
Last life,Lily’s words cut me.Now,I threw them back.
Lily stared,stunned,trembling.”How can you say that?My life’s ruined—for a boy’s future?”
I echoed her past cruelty.”Let it go.Photos don’t hurt.”To Noah:”Apologize to Lily—it’s over.”
Judy jumped in,”Claire’s right!Just photos.Lily’s dated tons—not pure anyway.Acting all innocent!”
Lily’s voice shook.”“You... If you say one more word, neither of us will live!”
Judy spewed more insults.
Lily was so angry that she almost fainted.
In the end, Noah gave a perfunctory apology, and the matter was considered settled.
Karen demanded financial compensation, but my aunt, that miser, naturally wouldn’t give a single penny.
The families cut ties.
Mom said Lily got depression,nearly slit her wrists.
I had experienced all of this in my previous life.
Only when the boomerang hits do you feel its sting.
