Chapter 5

  For some reason, John felt a sense of

  unease as he watched Sharon's race car in the video.

  At that moment, Sharon made a mistake in

  her operation.

  John couldn't help but urgently remind her,

  “Sharon, what are you doing?”

  “The drifting angle is off; the steering wheel was turned too early.”

  Each accusation made Sharon panic more.

  Her mistakes multiplied.

  One by one, the cars behind her overtook

  her.

  When the race ended,

  Sharon took off her helmet and threw it to

  the ground, lashing out at John :

  “What are you shouting about? It's all your fault for giving bad

  instructions. Otherwise, I would have won the championship.”

  The veins on John 's forehead bulged as he

  tried to stay calm and talk to Sharon.

  “You made several mistakes and blame me for giving wrong

  instructions.”

  “If it were Vivian, she would never have made such mistakes.”

  As soon as he finished speaking, he saw

  Sharon's eyes fill with tears, and she said indignantly:

  “I knew it, you're still thinking about that woman. If that's the

  case, then let Vivian participate.”

  John 

  softened his tone, feeling a bit heartbroken, and was about to comfort

  her.

  His phone rang, “What? You

  mean Vivian jumped into the lake and died.”

  In that instant, his mind went blank, and

  he almost dropped his phone.

  Something seemed to be slipping away from

  him.

  He collected himself, instructed his

  assistant to buy the nearest plane ticket, and hurried towards the airport.

  By the time John  arrived at the Bay Bridge, the caretaker

  quickly handed him the pregnancy test.

  Upon seeing it, the blood drained from John

  's face, and his lips trembled.

  Regret and self-reproach overwhelmed him.

  “How could I have done such a despicable thing!”

  “Find her, alive or... dead.”

  The last few words were spoken so softly

  they were almost inaudible.

  John 

  stood on the bridge, staring at the surging river below, his eyes

  hollow.

  The assistant reported, “Mr. , we've

  been searching all day, but we still haven't found Miss Vivian's body.”

  “Maybe Miss Vivian has been washed downstream.”

  “Keep searching!” John 's eyes were bloodshot, and he said resolutely.

  John 

  stared blankly at Vivian's SNS profile picture.

  It was taken by him when Vivian won her

  first championship, and she had never changed it since.

  He clicked on the profile picture and found

  an unread voice message.

  “I knew you were pregnant all along, Vivian. I hinted to John that I

  wanted the championship. That's why he tampered with your tires, causing you to

  crash 99 times and miscarry.”

  Sharon's malicious voice came through the

  speaker, making John 's body jolt.

  The test was tightly clenched in his hand.

  John 

  had never hated himself so much.

  He had harmed his own child for a malicious

  woman and lost Vivian, who loved him so much.

  Thinking about what he had done to Vivian

  later,

  A heavy stone seemed to press on his chest,

  making it hard to breathe.

  His heart ached in spasms.

  But John 

  felt that Vivian must have been in even more pain at that time.

  Suddenly, John  seemed to think of something.

  He grabbed the car keys from his assistant

  and rushed back to the villa.

  He tried to find traces of Vivian in the

  villa, but there was nothing.

  He knew Sharon had thrown them away.

  And the beautiful memories between the two

  of them were lost because of him.

  Sharon's coquettish laughter came from the

  bedroom.

  “John , that fool, actually dared to blame me. It was just a few

  words of weakness at first, and he made Vivian suffer for me.”

  “He even killed his own child. I heard that woman is dead too.

  Tomorrow, I'll leave the country and let John 

  regret it.”

  Hearing this, a surge of anger rushed to

  John 's head.

  He rushed forward, grabbed Sharon's hair,

  and slapped her.

  “It's all because of you, you wretch. If it weren't for you, Vivian

  wouldn't have left.”

  “Help... I'm sorry...” Sharon's cries for help came through the door.
