The air seemed to stand still.
The questions were still coming. Blanca didnât speak. She pinched her thigh surreptitiously, and the pain brought tears into her eyes.
She faced the camera, cutting a pitiable figure. âI donât know why Kylie said those things about me. She liked Todd, so I let her have him. With what sheâs doing now, does she want me to give her Matthew too?â
At that, every reporter sucked in a cold breath.
Sheâd been pretty to begin with, now with her tears, she looked like a flower swaying in the wind and sleet, about to fall. Blanca held on with feigned anxiety to Matthewâs sleeve, acting like she was a bullied, frightened victim.
Seeing the reporters taken aback, she pressed her advantage. âWho hasnât got a past? Did you all grow up with a silver spoon in your mouth, smooth sailing all the way? I experienced darkness and the filth of human nature, but then I met Matthew... he rescued me from the pain of heartbreak, and no girl could have resisted a man like this, right? Why are you still chasing after us when weâre in love?â
âSo... did Kylie steal your boyfriend?â
The reporterâs question put a bitter smile on Blancaâs face. She suddenly faced the camera and said seriously, âKylie, letâs let the past be the past, okay? Since you like Todd, Iâll give him to you, and weâll still be best friends forever, okay?â
Flash-
Under the camera bulbs, the scene was recorded for posterity.
In a certain apartment for two in Oakshire, Kylie watched Blancaâs live interview and was about to spit out blood!
When did this little bitch grow such a sharp tongue?
The door to the room was suddenly kicked open. Kylie looked up with displeasure, seeing Todd holding a beer bottle as he staggered into the doorway. His shirt was dirty, and his hair was messing.
Seeing him in such a state, Kylie got mad. âWhat are you doing back? Donât you have overtime today?â
âHeh, overtime, eh?â
Todd walked in and smashed the bottle on the table, staring with bloodred eyes at Kylie, who trembled and stammered, âWhat are you doing?â

Iâd like to ask you what the hell youâre doing? Have I not been good to you, Kylie? You wanted to get married, so I went and registered with you without saying a word about it. Your mother wanted a house, and have I done you wrong? I bought this and just managed to pay the first mortgage and emptying my parentsâ savings. Iâve bought you all the trinkets and jewelry you wanted. Why are you doing this to me?â
Todd smashed the bottle angrily onto the ground next. With a crash, Kylie hugged her head, looking at him in shock. âHave â have you gone crazy?â
âThese days are done. If it hadnât been for you, I wouldnât have gotten fired!â Toddâs gaze was splintering.
Heâd just showed up at work that morning when his boss called him into the office and spoke roundaboutly that heâd like him to resign. Todd had been confused instantly. Resign? Why?
Heâd started working at this company right after graduation, so why should he resign?
Then his boss had told him that he was a popular figure now.
And all that was thanks to his stay-at-home wife, Kylie Farley!
