Charles suddenly came to me, which surprised
- me.
“Are you moving?” Charles asked, his gaze fixed blankly on the boxes behind me.
I turned around and saw the packed boxes in the living room.
Although my reputation was tarnished and the company’s performance actually improved, my parents remained stubborn and caused a scene at the company twice.
My partner called the police, claiming they had illegally intruded and might be spies sent by competitors. Especially since since they’ve also

injured me to avoid future disputes and just call the police to deal with them..
My parents called me, cursing me for being ungrateful, saying that as their daughter, I should obey them.
Later, they changed their tune and begged me to settle privately with my partner, as they didn’t want to go to jail.
Naturally, I refused.
But to avoid trouble, I sold my shares in the company to my partner at a low price. He asked me what I planned to do next, and I said I was going to retire.
The money I earned over the years was enough to support me for the rest of my life, and I had

some investments with annual returns.
However, I also assured my partner that if he did encounter trouble, I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
After all, he was one of my few friends.
I didn’t think Charles was here to show concern.
“Is that all you came to say?” I saw Charles sarcastically.
Charles hung his head, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know they would do this.”
I was speechless. Did he think a mere apology could erase everything?
Charles continued with his head down saying

slowly, “I didn’t know you lived that kind of life in the Green family. You and Selena are sisters; I thought you would be the same.”
I shook my head. Couldn’t he see the stark difference in how my parents treated me and
Selena?
No, he just didn’t care.
After we married, he had accompanied me back to the Green family only a few times.
I knew my parents were concerned with their image in front of Charles. On the few occasions when I had to return, I invited Charles to join me, but he excused himself because he was busy with work.
“Selena’s illness is really serious. As a doctor,

I can’t just watch a life disappear like this. I thought you, being Selena’s biological sister, would definitely be willing to save her.”
Charles’s gaze was filled with tenderness and longing, but lacked any sense of guilt.
Anger suddenly surged within me.
“Why do you get to make decisions for me? What right do you have? Just because you’re my husband?”
I looked at him with contempt, “In name, you are my husband, but you have never fulfilled a single responsibility as a husband. You use my resources to do favors, disregarding my life. Can you even be considered a qualified doctor?”
Charles left, disheartened.

A week later, I received another call from
Charles.
“Morita, I’m sorry,” Charles began with an apology.
I didn’t know when it had become his standard
greeting to me.
“Turns out, Selena had been deceiving me all along,” Charles’s voice was tinged with tears.
I knew the reason immediately.
Selena had posed as me to become Charles‘ sponsor which made him so grateful to her, leading him to violate medical ethics and secretly remove my liver in order to save her.

There was no way I would let her get away with
it
I not only sent him evidence of Selena’s deceit but also provided him with photos of Selena’s glamorous life abroad over the years.
Selena had initially refused to date Charles because he had no money.
She went abroad to pursue a top wealthy heir, but such families wouldn’t take her seriously, so he’d just have some fun and then break up with her.
Having tasted the luxuries of life, Selena wasn’t willing to work hard for herself and kept changing boyfriends. As she grew older, wealthy heirs became less interested in her, so she settled for men with average conditions who

were willing to spend money on her.
I wondered if Charles would still consider Selena as his ideal after seeing all this.
I was only seeking revenge and didn’t care about their outcome.
I didn’t expect that Charles would call me.
“I didn’t know you were my sponsor. You had been quietly supporting me from behind, and I hurt you. I am truly damned.”
“My medical license has been revoked, and I’ve been fired from the hospital.”
“Morita, give me a chance. I want to make it up to you.”

At that moment, the boarding announcement
for my flight began.
“Morita, where are you?” Charles asked urgently, the surroundings noisy.
“Charles, let’s not meet again in this lifetime. After saying that, I hung up the phone and walked towards the boarding gate with my
suitcase.
There was nothing left in this city for me. I only wanted to find a new place to live peacefully.
