Chapter 8
Luca stared at the woman he once thought he loved, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
Without a second thought, he pulled out his phone and dialed three digits.
Cecelia Cecelia’s face turned white when she realized what he was doing.
She lunged forward, shrieking, “You’re really going to call the cops over something this small? Are you insane?
“I even blurred her face! Why act so righteous now?
“She had the nerve to fool around with her own uncle, but… Ah!”
Before she could spit out another word, Luca slapped her so hard she fell to the ground.
His face was so dark that it was horrifying. “Shut up! How can someone be as nasty as you?”
He felt like the biggest fool alive. He chose someone like Cecelia because he was blinded by lust.
Genevieve had warned him countless times, yet he never listened.
Luca did not hesitate anymore. He grabbed Cecelia’s phone and made the call.
He could not stand by and let Genevieve be humiliated because doing that would make him less than human.

Cecelia burst into tears, panic flooding her voice.
“Luca, please, I was too impulsive. Don’t do this, okay?
“I worked so hard to get where I am. If you call the police, it’ll ruin everything!
“I’ll go apologize to her, okay?”

She clung to his sleeve, hoping he would back down like he always did.
However, even as the call went through, Luca’s face stayed stone cold. Not a flicker of mercy could be seen.
Seeing that, Cecelia completely broke down and she screamed at the top of her lungs, “You really think Genevieve will forgive you after this? You’re dreaming!
“She’s been done with you for ages. Her photos are everywhere now. She must hate you to death!
“If you two end up together, people will laugh behind your backs forever! Hahaha!”
Luca clenched his teeth so hard his jaw hurt, fury boiling inside him.
However, before Luca could completely lose it, the police showed up.
Soon after, they took Cecelia away.
After handing over all the evidence, he rushed back to the hospital.
When he got there, I had left.
I did not want to see him, not even for a second longer.

Thanks to my school’s good reputation, I landed a position pretty quickly.
The first month as an intern was busy but rewarding. My coworkers looked after me well, too.
If I did not understand something, they would guide me step by step. During lunch, they would take me out to nearby restaurants.
Soon, I fit in with everyone quickly.
However, a few days later, I suddenly got a call from the police.
Turned out Cecelia wanted to make peace with me.
“Genevieve, I’m so sorry for what I did. Can you forgive me?
“Or you can
post one of me, too, so that we’re even.
“I really can’t go to jail. If I do, I’m done for.”
Her voice was full of panic and desperation, totally different from when she used to sneer at
at me.
I was a bit surprised Luca actually let the police take her away.
However, she brought this on herself.
If I had not been so devastated, I would have done this myself.
So now, I could not help but feel a little pleased hearing her plead like this.

“I never really had anything against you. Why are you doing this to me? I just found this job, and now you want to ruin my life?”
I almost laughed when I heard her trying to twist it all like she was the
victim.
