Chapter 15 After being discharged from the hospital, Hannah got a new phone. The moment she turned it on, she was bombarded with overwhelming news about Spencer. The news that Spencer had heavily promoted a live-streamed wedding, only to flee the ceremony at the last minute, had already spread everywhere. Even though the Ruiz Group spent 200,000 dollars to suppress the trending topic, they still couldn't stop the netizens' enthusiasm for gossip. Everyone was speculating about what exactly Spencer was doing. Only Hannah was left completely puzzled. Spencer had wanted to marry Bethany so badly before, even going so far as to cause the death of his own child for it. But on the day of the wedding, he ran away. Hannah didn't understand, nor did she want to. Now, Spencer was already a thing of the past for her. She simply swiped past the news as if it were any ordinary gossip. Meanwhile, Spencer returned to the Ruiz's residence, filled with rage. Standing outside Hannah's room, Spencer suddenly lost the courage to push the door open, his hands hanging weakly at his sides. Thinking of everything that had happened, he laughed at himself, "Anna, you'll never forgive me, will you?" The surroundings were quiet, and there was no answer. Spencer turned and went upstairs. As he passed by Bethany's room, Spencer heard a voice from inside: "How was I supposed to know that after she died, Spencer would go so crazy that he wouldn't even go through with the wedding." "All my careful planning, all that effort to make Spencer hate her, and now look-she dies, and she wins without hav- ing to do anything." "Who in this world can compete with the dead?" Spencer froze in place, standing there in disbelief. What did Bethany's words mean? What did she mean by careful planning? 0.0 % 09:17 Inside the room, Bethany was still venting: "If I'd known, I wouldn't have sent someone to hit her. Let her live- Spencer hated her so much anyway, she wouldn't have been any threat." As her words fell, Spencer's heart was thrown into turmoil. So, it was all Bethany's doing. The incident a year ago, and the car accident too! With the truth laid bare, bloody and raw before his eyes, Spencer instead became calm. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Bethany was startled, hurried over to open the door, and greeted him with her usual sweet smile, "Spency, why did you drink so much? And how did you get hurt?" Spencer ignored her concern, his gaze cold and sinister as it fell on her. Suddenly, he asked, "You really want to mar- ry me?" His tone was too calm, as calm as the moment before a storm, making it impossible to predict the terrifying waves be- neath, only sending chills down one's spine. Bethany still hadn't sensed the danger, and even lowered her head a little shyly. "You know I've always liked you." Spencer took two steps closer, forcing Bethany to retreat, his voice as cold as a knife: "So you thought of drugging me, framing Hannah, even arranging for someone to hit her, all just so I would marry you?" Bethany's face instantly turned deathly pale. She panicked, shaking her head frantically, "No, Spency, you must be misunderstanding something..." Before Bethany could finish, Spencer grabbed her by the throat. His grip was so strong, it was as if he wanted to strangle her to death. Bethany's face turned from white to blue, red veins bursting in her eyes. She couldn't make a sound from the pain, only showing a pleading look. But Spencer seemed to have lost all reason, his grip not loosening in the slightest. Instead, he asked, word by word, "Was it Hannah who did those things back then?" Facing the threat of death, Bethany had no other thoughts left, only the instinct to survive. She squeezed out what little strength she had, hoarsely saying, "I... I don't know, it has nothing to do with me." The commotion woke Hollie. Seeing the scene before her, Hollie clutched her chest in panic, "Spency, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind!" With Hollie pulling him back, Spencer finally loosened his grip, and Bethany retreated in terror. 35.6 % 09:17 She clutched her neck, looking utterly frightened, and grabbed onto the hem of Hollie's clothes. "Madam Ruiz, save me! Spency's gone mad, he wants to kill me, please save me..." Hollie shielded Bethany behind her, looking at Spencer with sadness. "Anna is gone and you're heartbroken, I know, but why take it out on Beth?" Spencer clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Hollie in fury, and shouted: "A year ago, the drugging incident-she was the one who framed Anna!" "Anna's car accident-she arranged it!" "She's the one who killed Anna!" Bethany's hands were shaking with panic as she hid behind Hollie, trembling as she said, "It wasn't me, I always treat- ed Anna like my own sister, how could I hurt her?" Hollie shielded her as well, "That's right, Beth could never do something like that." let out a cold laugh, "Oh really? Then what about this surveillance footage from a 09:17 1.0%
