“If I can’t hold on until that day, let this quilt bless you in Grandma’s place…”
Thinking of this, I felt an unbearable pain in my heart, and I roared:
“This quilt was hand-stitched by me under my grandma’s careful guidance and given as a mating gift. You guys are going too far!”
After everyone around knew the reason, their expressions were not good.
Someone whispered, “eww…I stepped on a quilt made by a dead person.”
William instinctively looked at me.
But after seeing the tears in my eyes, he was completely stunned.
He wanted to pull me ashore. But I pushed him away forcefully.
Rita immediately became unhappy, standing in front of William, as if speaking the mind of everyone:
“Sister-in-law, are you seriously forcing everyone to apologize to your filthy, already-dead, pauper grandmother? You’re such a killjoy.”
The people around me all cursed me as a jinx, a suck omega, and someone who couldn’t be welcome anywhere.
But I didn’t care about any of that. I only cared about the quilt.
Seeing me fall to my knees with a thud, I reached for the quilt that had soaked up all the water.
William was anxious and grabbed my arm. “Julia, you’re pregnant!”
Rita’s eyes darted around, and she pretended to help me take it.
But she suddenly tugged at the corner of the blanket, pretended to fall backward, and let out a scream.
“Sister-in-law, why did you push me?”
After she said that, Rita and I both fell into the pool.
My abdomen hit the edge of the pool hard, and the sharp pain made me choke on several mouthfuls of water.
But no one would save me.
When I finally struggled out of the water, everyone was surrounding the sobbing Rita.
They all easily believed Rita’s clumsy acting and looked at me as if I were an enemy.
“Brother, maybe I should leave the Shadow Pack. I’m so afraid my sister-in-law will take my life…”
William’s face darkened, and he coldly rebuked me, who was still alone in the water:
“Apologize to my sister!”
His tone was the same as it had been in countless arguments between Rita and me over the past six months.
William had never stood on my side, not even for a second.
And in that moment, a crushing wave of exhaustion and despair washed over me.
I felt every last thread of my patience snap. The weight of it all pressed down like a thousand stones, suffocating and relentless.
My voice barely a whisper, trembling with raw emotion, I finally said,
“William, I want to end this. Let’s break up.”
Those light words instantly froze William.
