Chapter 25
For some reason, looking at Eloise like this, Yvonne’s heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed, emitting a dull
pain.
“Believe me.”
Eloise laughed and said, “If I cut it wrong, I’ll give you my life, sister.”
This was the first time Eloise had referred to herself as a sister. From Yvonne’s perspective, she could even see the beads of sweat forming on Eloise’s forehead. She gently wiped away the sweat for Eloise, then closed her eyes.

The line was cut.
The expected explosion did not occur. Yvonne opened her eyes and the two of them locked eyes. In the next moment, they hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.
Eloise was very scared. She was afraid of losing her sister, afraid that she had put her in danger. Yvonne, on the other hand, had a sense of surviving a disaster. She kept patting Eloise’s head and saying, “It’s okay now.”
At this moment, the blood ties between the two of them were intertwined even more tightly.
Aurelie was finally arrested. When she was arrested, she was still struggling frantically. She pointed at Eloise and cursed loudly, “It’s all because of you! It’s all because of you, you bitch, that I lost everything!”
Eloise just looked at her so lightly, expressionless.
She softly uttered a few words.
“Aurelie, up to today, this outcome was entirely of your own making.”
Aurelie was escorted away, and the evidence that had previously granted her bail was overturned. It was fabricated. She was sentenced to death.
Before the execution was carried out, it was discovered that Aurelie was already three months pregnant. Therefore, the execution had to be postponed, and it was to be carried out after the child was born.
After Aurelie found out she was pregnant, she stood still for a long time. Then she sat on the ground, crying and laughing, murmuring to herself, “It’s karma, it’s all karma!”
She stole someone else’s heart, and as a punishment, God made her pregnant with that old man’s child!
Aurelie ended up committing suicide in prison. At that time, she was four months pregnant. She didn’t leave behind a single word.

Leon looked at himself in the mirror, wrapped in bandages, and couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.
He has never regretted blocking the bottle of sulfuric acid for Eloise. If he had to do it again, he would still do the same. Because he couldn’t bear to see Eloise suffer again.
Leon couldn’t accept himself now either. He could already imagine how terrifying and disgusting his face would be after removing the bandages.
He couldn’t even accept it himself, let alone Eloise.
Leon hoped that he would always be the spirited Leon in Eloise’s eyes, rather than the way he is now.
When standing on the windowsill, the last thing Leon thought of was the first time he met Eloise. He was heartbroken and sat on the rooftop getting drunk. Meanwhile, Eloise was standing on the rooftop, wanting to end her own life.
Looking at the view downstairs, Leon smiled. So this is what it feels like to stand here?
Leon seemed to understand Eloise’s feelings back then. She had been abandoned by the whole world, just like he was
now.
Elle, I’m sorry.
I owe you so much in this lifetime. If there is another lifetime, I want to make it up to you. I will make you the happi- est little girl in the world.
A lifetime of carefree living, without experiencing any hardships.
I left first in this lifetime.
Leon leaped forward, and in the moment his body collided with the ground, a sudden wave of pain enveloped his en- tire body.
But soon he lost consciousness, blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. Leon tried to force a smile, he didn’t want to scare his girl.
The dropped phone still had the last message displayed.
Leon, after discussing it, we have decided to let you go. We will be appointing a new successor, so take care of your- self.
