I knew it was worthless, but I still foolishly cherished it all these years.

Chapter 8
At that moment, I could only find it laughable.
I took off the ring and tossed it into the trash can.
“Sorry, this ten–dollar piece of junk should’ve been thrown away long ago.”
I smiled even brighter. “Now, can we go?”
Getting the divorce certificate felt like a thousand–pound weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
I didn’t realize that what I once thought was deep love in my youth had turned into a burden.
Misunderstanding after misunderstanding had slowly eroded that love, replacing it with endless torment.
Now that I’d let go, I didn’t want to carry the blame for things I hadn’t done anymore. I wanted to explain one last time.
Holding the USB drive in my bag, I spoke calmly.
“Carter, I had nothing to do with your father’s death. Do you believe me?”
He lowered his gaze and remained silent for a long time.
I smiled. His silence was already an answer.
Without hesitation, I took out the USB drive and placed it in his hand.
“If you find out you hated the wrong person and tormented the wrong person, what will you do?”
“Carter, I’m suddenly looking forward to seeing that.”
Fear doesn’t disappear–it just shifts.
I turned away with a smile.
Marcus was waiting for me.
I heard that after returning home that day, Carter went into a furious rage.
He stormed over to Amy’s house and stabbed her, leaving her severely injured.
