---- didn't fall for it. "Forget it! I'll just say I escaped. I know her. She won't be that cruel to me." "Clara? What's wrong?" Jason's voice snapped me back to the present. "Are you mad at me? Are you upset that I went to such a dangerous place without telling you?" I gave him a cold look and stayed silent. He kept talking. "I know you're worried. I just wanted to help you. You've been working so hard. I just wanted to lighten your load by sealing this deal. "T don't mind suffering. All I want is for you to live a better life. Everything I did was for the company and for you." I glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "I really wish they had beaten you to death." Jason looked utterly shocked. Before he could say anything, Hannah stormed in. She pointed at me ---- and screamed, "Clara Bennett! You've gone too far! When Jason went missing, you didn't care at all. Now that he's back, you're saying such cruel things!" For years, Jason had been known as my fiance at the company. I had never been stingy when it came to him, and I loved him deeply. To build his reputation, Jason had done plenty of charitable acts over the years. A few colleagues who were on good terms with him chimed in to support him. "Ms. Clara, I think Mr. Jason did this for the company and for you. Now that he's safe, why not let it go?" "Yeah, I saw that video of him being captured. It was terrifying. He's lucky to have escaped. You should forgive him." "you've been together for so many years. It's not easy to find a relationship like this." ---- lignored them and turned on the projector. One by one, intimate photos of Jason and Hannah appeared on the screen. "These are from Jason's work computer," I said coldly. "My boyfriend is having an affair with the student I sponsored. Should I really forgive him?" Jason's face turned pale. He clearly had not expected me to refuse to take him in, much less go through his computer. "Clara! This is all a misunderstanding!" At that moment, the police arrived. One officer looked at Jason and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Jason, we've been investigating your disappearance, but there is no record of you leaving the country. Can you explain where you were?" Jason tried to argue, but before he could, I took out my phone and played a video I had just recorded on the back staircase. "Jason, this time, it's your turn to feel the torment I went through."
