    "I made it all up. I lied." Ka sobbed. Her voice trembled as she begged for mercy, "Felicia, I won''t do it ever again, please let me go..." "Did you hear that, Mrs. Fuller?"


    Felicia''s gaze remained fixed on Myra until thetter timidly nodded. Only then did Felicia release Ka with a look of disdain.


    Then, she turned to Eugene andmanded, "Take me to college.


    Eugene was too afraid to disobey and immediately turned the car around to drop her off at the campus gate.


    As Felicia stepped out of the car, she felt a sense of deep satisfaction. Her mood was lifted, and nothing seemed to bother her anymore.


    Back in the car, it took Ka some time to lift her head. Her face was swollen on both sides and burned painfully. Several lumps had formed on her forehead from being banged against the door and were barely touchable. "Mom..." Ka whimpered miserably. There was a pitiful look on her tear-streaked face as her voice


    trembled with sobs.


    But instead of immediately hugging andforting her, Myra snapped with a frown, "Stop crying. Felicia was wrong to hit you so hard, but you were wrong to falsely use her too."


    Myra''s words made it clear that the matter was to be dropped, and she wasn''t going to take sides


    Ka knew she was at fault and sniffled, but the hatred in her eyes red.


    In the past, both Dexter and Myra would have unconditionally taken her side, but things were now different


    Felicia had caught Matthew''s eye and Dexter''s project had hit a snag, so the Fuller family must get Felicia to marry Arnold. Their marriage was a leverage to obtain evidence from Matthew and save the Fuller family from crisis. Felicia''s status had risen with her importance, but what about Ka?


    The position of thedy of the Lawsons, which Ka had long coveted, was slipping away. Even her ce as the Fullers'' treasured daughter was on shaky grounds.


    Ka lifted her head and caught her reflection in the car window. Her hair was a mess, while her cheeks were swollen and red. Blemishes had appeared on her carefully altered face.


    Even her surgically altered nose looked slightly crooked.


    She screamed and immediately covered her face with both hands. "Mom, I need to go to the beauty salon right now!"


    Before heading to the beauty salon to get her face fixed, Ka remembered to take a few photos from the right angles.


    Her face was covered with visible p marks, her forehead was swollen, and her eyes brimmed with tears. It was a perfect photo of vulnerability.


    It was the kind of photo that would easily trigger protective instincts. She sent the photos in satisfaction.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Arnold called within seconds. His voice seethed with anger. "Did Felicia do this to you?"


    Ka hummed and sniffed. Her voice was still tinged with a sob. "Arnie, now that you''re about to get engaged to Felicia, I wish you both happiness. And... let''s not meet again."


    With that, Ka hung up and immediately turned off her phone. She nned to avoid Arnold entirely for the next two weeks, at least until her face had fully healed.


    She would leave him to confront Felicia. Even if nothing came out of it, it would irk Felicia at the very least. She was sure that the two would grow to despise each other the more they shed. Ka''s lips curled into a triumphant smile as she dialed Talia''s number.


    "Ka, weren''t you saying that Felicia is going to take over the Walsh family and the medical center as Grandpa''s heir? I thought about it, and why don''t we work together?"
