Chapter 669
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, catching Richard and Pearl off guard.
Richard’s gloomy expression twisted into one of anger. “What are you doing?”
Jenny inched the knife closer, her bloodshot eyes locked onto Richard’s. “Would you feel this nervous if it were me in Pearl’s place?”
Pearl’s skin was more sensitive than most, and Jenny’s actions caused her to bleed as the knife pressed against her neck.
“Do you know you’re committing a crime?” Richard’s voice dripped with icy disapproval.
The chilly wind blew through, tousling Jenny’s hair, making her look unhinged as she laughed. “I’m not even afraid of death. Why would I care about the law?” She used her free hand to cruelly scratch Pearl’s face, leaving a red mark. “Your skin is so soft! No wonder he likes you so much.”
“You’re insane!” Pearl scolded Jenny through the pain.
“Yeah, I am. You know what? Owen had a bunch of guys with STDs take advantage of me. You were supposed to go through that, not me. Why did it have to happen to me?” Jenny tightened her grip around the back of Pearl’s neck.
“I told you I’d get my revenge.” Pearl looked at Jenny calmly.
“How can you say that? You were the one who ruined our relationship! Rick and I were so happy together, but you came and ruined everything!”
Pearl couldn’t be bothered to talk with Jenny. She signaled Richard to prepare himself. When Jenny laughed involuntarily, Pearl seized the opportunity to grip Jenny’s hand that held the knife
In the next second, Pearl forcefully pulled Jenny’s hand apart and disarmed her.
Richard walked over, carefully shielding Pearl, and kicked Jenny away.
“Are you okay?”
Finally, Pearl felt the pain around her neck, but it was tolerable. She nodded. “Yes, I’m okay.” On the ground, Jenny looked up and saw Richard’s deep concern for Pearl. She had never experienced that kind of care from him, nor had she seen such worry in his eyes.
All her feelings for Richard disappeared in that instant. In their place, a profound hatred took
root.
“Richard, you’ll regret choosing Pearl!”
Richard glanced at Jenny coldly. “No, I won’t. But you’ll be going to jail.”
Jail?
Jenny heard the sound of sirens approaching.
“So, you hate me this much. I’m such a fool…” Jenny wiped away her tears and looked at Richard with a grave expression. “Let me ask you one thing. Answer me honestly. Did you ever

love me?”
There was no denying it. Richard responded without hesitation, “No.”
“I’m your
first love. But you never loved me?”
2/2
Richard struggled to recall their past together. It was hazy, and he could barely bring those memories to the forefront of his mind. “It was just a passing infatuation. Once you betrayed me, there was nothing left between us.”
Richard’s cold words seemed to knock some sense into Jenny. She looked up at him with a newfound, intensified hatred.
“Well, you guys have to go to hell with me then!”
