“If you won’t let Daniel wear it, then you won’t have it either.”

Ethan stared at the shards in shock. He trembled as he picked them up, then finally broke down in tears.

“Melissa Carter, why? Why would you do this? You knew how much that watch meant to me. Even if you didn’t want to give it back, why smash it? It was my grandfather’s favorite. Now it’s destroyed forever.”

Tears streamed down his face. He looked utterly heartbroken.

Even the onlookers couldn’t help pitying him.

Some started livestreams just to curse me.

“Never seen a woman this vile! Makes me sick—why doesn’t she just die?”

“She gave her husband’s heirloom to her lover. The lover even tried to return it, but she smashed it instead. Some women just deserve a beating.”

“He’s way too soft. When she shielded her side piece, he should’ve beaten her too.”

I glanced at the livestreams—my scandal had shot to the top trending spot.

Perfect. I needed the heat.

To make sure the cameras caught me, I turned slowly in every direction, then stomped on Ethan’s hand as he held the shards. The glass cut deep, blood spilling instantly.
