Chapter 261
Suddenly, my head began to hurt.
If Colin hadn’t come in time during the incident, I would’ve been completely destroyed.
I had a stubborn nature. I knew I wouldn’t have been able to live with the disgrace, so I could only choose death.
The instigator of all this was Lilac, who was kneeling in front of my hospital bed while looking aggrieved.
I didn’t need to look for evidence. My intuition told me it was her, and I couldn’t
be wrong.
No one else would do such a vicious thing, nor did anyone else have grievances with me enough to commit such an act.
Seeing her appear, the hatred and anger in my heart were hot like lava. The fear of being overwhelmed during that incident and the fury from being harmed repeatedly were threatening to erupt all at once.
I wished I could tear Lilac to pieces to quell the hatred in my heart.
Perhaps my expression was too ferocious, so the usually bold Lilac instinctively dodged backward. She tried to grab Felix’s hand, only for him to ruthlessly brush.
her off.
After more than five years, this was the first time Felix pushed Lilac away for me.
He probably wasn’t all bad. After all, he could still distinguish right from wrong. Though the previous incidents were minor, it was a fact that he just kept quiet. even though he knew it was wrong.
This time, it had escalated to a crime. Felix’s choice was the right one.
Lilac sat on the ground, trembling while looking pitiful. If I didn’t know her temperament well, I might have been deceived by her weak facade. I’d think I was the one who had wrongly accused her.

“Lulu, I’ve interrogated those two scoundrels, and it was Lilac who paid them. I wasn’t aware of it before, but ultimately, this matter started because of me. Now that I’ve brought her here, it’s entirely up to you how you want to deal with her.”
Felix’s eyes were as cold as ice. “Lilac, I never thought you were such a vicious person. I had truly underestimated you. No matter what Lulu decides in the end, you owe her a proper apology. You can never repay what you owe her in this lifetime.”
“Felix, I didn’t intend to do that. I just wanted them to beat up Luna. I didn’t ask them to vio-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Colin’s expression suddenly changed. It was filled with fury.
Felix, who was slightly closer to Lilac, stepped forward and kicked her on the shoulder.
She was already kneeling, so she fell on the ground after being kicked. It wasn’t clear where she was hurt, but the pain made her scream out loud. It startled me.
It was the middle of the night. Making such a noise in a hospital could easily lead to misunderstandings. People would think something really bad was happening.
“Lilac, keep your mouth shut if you wish to suffer less. Spouting nonsense will not end well for you. You know that.”
Felix was Lilac’s backer, but now, even her backer was standing against her. As her gaze swept over the three of us, she realized her desperate situation and became noticeably more subdued.
In just a few breaths, tears filled her eyes. She struggled to her feet, kneeled before Felix, and hugged his legs. She began to sob pitifully.
“Felix, I’m also a woman, How could I do such a terrible thing? I really just wanted those two to beat up Luna. I had no other intention.
“Plus, knowing they were unreliable, I even made a recording when I went to look for them. Let me play it for you. I really didn’t want them to do that.
“Yes, it’s Luna. It must be because she’s so beautiful that those two couldn’t

control themselves. It has nothing to do with me. Please, Felix. Listen to the recording. I’m not lying to you.
“I’m not as malicious as you think. I was just jealous and wanted to teach her a lesson. I really didn’t expect things to get so serious. I was wrong, Felix. I was wrong. Please don’t leave me.”
