Chapter 5

"For your safety, Irene willingly subjected herself to addiction and torment. For five years, she remained faithful to you, stabbing herself countless times! Can't you see the scars on her body?"

"You ruined the therapist who could finally treat her illness! Scott, why don't you just die?!"

Scott was stunned by the verbal assault.

He didn't believe a word Evelina said, letting out a cold, contemptuous laugh.

"You and her conspired to trick me, did you think I'd fall for it?"

"Evelina, I begged her on my knees not to leave, but she showed me no mercy!"

"Well, now I won't show her any mercy either!"

Scott's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched tight, his gritted teeth revealing nothing but hatred for me.

Evelina couldn't reason with him. She rushed to the door with brute force, pounding on it and screaming desperately,

"Stop! All of you stop! Don't touch her!"
