Benjamin felt inexplicably uneasy.
But then it occurred to him: Elizabeth was always acting, and this time she’d put on a full performance!
The broken protective amulet, the cancer diary.
She must have been scheming this since the moment she discovered his identity!
He snapped at HR: “You need my input for such trivial matters?”
“Are you brainless? If she didn’t come to resign, just discard it!”
The HR staff flinched at his tone and replied: “Understood, Mr.. Hayes.”
After speaking, they immediately retreated.
Benjamin couldn’t focus on work and reopened Elizabeth’s cancer journey alt account.
Just then, heated arguments erupted in the comment section.
“Her true identity has been exposed: she’s the beauty influencer Elizabeth, who’s also Benjamin’s first love. All this was sent for Mr. Hayes to see.”
“What a calculated move! Persisting for three years just for this moment is quite remarkable.”

Some bystanders who couldn’t stand it angrily spoke up.
“Is this necessary? Nobody jokes about their health, let alone wishes for cancer. Let her recover in peace instead of causing chaos here.”
But they were met with endless noise until someone claiming to be Elizabeth’s classmate appeared.
“I know the truth and have the right to speak. Elizabeth and Benjamin broke up because she hooked up with that family’s uncle while working part–time for them.““Benjamin kept a low profile at school – almost nobody knew his background. She’s the gold–digger who brought this on herself, cancer included.”
–
Just then, someone suddenly posted on Twitter directly mentioning Benjamin.
“May I ask Mr. Hayes, how do you feel about Elizabeth posting about you for three whole years?”
Benjamin was stunned.
But he thought Elizabeth must be hiding in some corner scrolling through Twitter right now?
So he directly retweeted that post and replied-
“Being bitten by a maggot in the sewer, don’t you find it disgusting?”
This one sentence made his stance clear.
In his heart, Elizabeth was no different from a maggot in the sewer.
After posting this on Twitter, he thought someone as cold and proud as Elizabeth would never accept being compared to a maggot.

After all, back when he’d foolishly called her a little koala, he’d been forced to write a thousand–word apology letter.
Five minutes after the post went out, there was no response.
An hour after the post was published, there was still no response.
Until midnight, a private message suddenly popped up, sending a picture of a funeral home.
On the screen at the funeral home’s crematorium, it was clearly written: The deceased, Elizabeth, age twenty–eight.
He was stunned, and had an intuition that the person on the other end was Elizabeth.
Benjamin replied-
“Elizabeth, don’t think I don’t know it’s you.”
“I won’t be fooled by your tricks. Even if you die, I won’t forgive you.”
After sending that, he turned off his phone directly.
Benjamin didn’t know that it was the seventh day after Elizabeth’s death.
That night, he clinked glasses of red wine with Victoria and took her again and again, as if in revenge.
The next day, with a rosy complexion, Victoria pestered Benjamin to visit the cemetery.
“Benjamin, we haven’t told my biological mother about our marriage. I

must take you to pay respects at her grave.”
Benjamin couldn’t refuse and went.
But upon arriving, they passed a tombstone engraved with Elizabeth’s
name.
His mind went blank. Staring closer, he saw the black–and–white death portrait of Elizabeth!
Only then did he realize:
Elizabeth was truly dead.
