Wait…Why Did Everyone I Love Suddenly Call Me a Bitch?! novel Chapter 26

Chapter 10

When Dominic jolted awake in the hospital bed, it was already the next morning.

He sat up abruptly, his chest heaving violently, cold sweat soaking through his shirt.

“Mia!”

He called out instinctively, then clutched his forehead as all the painful memories came flooding back.

His assistant pushed through the door, carrying a thick stack of documents.

“Mr. Cross, you’re awake.”

“These are the investigation results you requested before you collapsed.”

Dominic snatched the files, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

The papers clearly documented Mia’s whereabouts before she signed the kidney waiver.

She had gone to the asset management center and discovered the property transfer records for that villa.

She had even visited the maternity center and seen him with Letty.

She knew the child in Letty’s belly was actually his!

“She… she knew everything.”

He murmured to himself, his heart feeling like it was being crushed by an invisible hand.

Seeing his ashen face, the assistant still handed over a USB drive.

“Mr. Cross, this contains the complete surveillance footage from the charity foundation that day.”

On the computer screen, the footage clearly showed everything.

It was Letty who had suddenly rushed onto the stage and knelt down on her own initiative.

Mia had even stepped back, her face full of shock. From beginning to end, she had never forced Letty to do anything.

In the audience, several obviously hired agitators led the crowd, shoving cameras in Mia’s face.

“Mr. Cross, the direction of public opinion that day was very strange. I investigated and found that most accounts spreading rumors were clearly paid trolls.”

“Regarding the alleged bullying of Miss Wen by your wife, I specifically visited their former classmates and teachers last night. No one had heard of any bullying.”

“On the contrary, many people remembered that your wife had always sponsored Miss Kane and even helped her secure scholarships.”

Dominic stood up suddenly, his vision going black. He steadied himself against the wall as a metallic taste rose in his throat.

“Who did this?”

The assistant hesitated to speak until Dominic’s expression grew impatient, forcing him to answer:

“All the money trails lead back to Miss Kane’s private accounts.”

“We also caught the group that attacked your wife after she left. They confessed that Miss Kane told them it wouldn’t matter if she died, which is why they dared drag her behind a car and dump her in the wasteland.”

The assistant’s voice grew choked as he opened a video those people had recorded, filled with Mia’s pained moans and their verbal abuse.

Dominic stared at the screen, veins bulging on his forehead. He wanted to rush in and tear those people apart, to shield her from harm, but now he could only watch helplessly as she endured it all alone.

He remembered her desperate call for help, which he had hung up on directly.

He also remembered seeing her waiting in line to pay hospital fees, but mistakenly thinking she was stalking him to harm Letty, berating her and even knocking her to the ground when he left.

At that time, she only had three days left to live.

Dominic’s temples throbbed as he seemed to hear again Mia’s weak cries for help while being dragged.

HOW

pain must she have been in?

dhe done to her?

there’s one last thing. Miss Kane’s child wasn’t killed by your wife.”

Surveillance from another angle that day shows that Miss Kane hit the table corner herself.”

As his vision blurred, Dominic squeezed his eyes shut tightly. When he opened them again, only bloodshot veins and overwhelming grief and rage remained.

Just then, the hospital room door was pushed open.

Letty walked in wearing a bright red dress, beaming with joy.

“Dominic! The doctor says I’ve recovered well and can be discharged!”

She intimately linked arms with him, completely oblivious to the heavy atmosphere in the room.

“I know all about Sister Mia’s situation. She’s gone now, so I’ll let bygones be bygones regarding how she hurt me before.”

“I’ve already had the servants move all my luggage to the Cross mansion. I also had them pack away Mia’s things. From now on, I can stay by your side and take care of you. Shall we have another child?”

Dominic turned his head stiffly to look at her.

This face that had once made his heart ache now seemed so foreign.

“Who gave you permission to move into the Cross mansion? Who told you to touch her things?”

He asked each word deliberately, his voice terrifyingly hoarse.

Letty finally sensed something was wrong, her smile freezing on her face.

“But she’s already dead. Must I still hide and sneak around with you even after her death? Aren’t you going to marry me?”

Chapter 10

Dominic violently shook off her hand with such force that she staggered back against the wall.

“Get out.”

His voice was soft, yet it made the entire room’s temperature plummet.

Letty stared in disbelief, eyes wide.

“You’re yelling at me? Dominic! She’s dead! I’m the one who’s been by your side! Our child was lost because of her…”

Dominic suddenly smiled, a smile that made Letty’s blood run cold.

“You know exactly how that child was lost!”

He grabbed the scattered documents and threw them at her face. Papers fluttered down as Letty saw the contents and turned pale.

But she quickly adjusted her expression, tears coming on cue:

“Dominic, let me explain. I did it all because I love you too much. I wanted to be with you.”

Everything I did was for you!”

It was Mia who forced me to. She…”

Dominic grabbed her throat, his eyes blood-red.

“Forced you to spread rumors online? Forced you to hire people to attack her? Forced you to make her jump into the sea? Forced her to die, is

that it?”

Letty struggled in terror, her nails scratching bloody marks on his arm.

The assistant quickly intervened, pulling them apart:

“Mr. Cross, calm down!”

Dominic released his grip, looking at Letty collapsed on the floor coughing. Where once he had seen pure innocence and naivety, her true

nature now disgusted him completely.

He turned and grabbed his coat, rushing out the door as Letty’s hysterical screams followed behind.

“Dominic! Have you forgotten who saved your life in high school!”

“How can you abandon me? I’m your savior! No matter what, you have to marry me!”

“You promised! You said you’d protect me for life, give me a wedding, you said…”

The black Maybach sped through the rain.

Dominic’s knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel, the assistant’s videos playing on loop on the car’s screen.

The final video was from mall surveillance, where every word from Letty was like a knife stabbing his heart.

“That fraud case was designed by me from beginning to end. Your parents, those two fools, trusted me so much they even let me keep the company seal.”

“Now your husband, your wealth, your family-everything you’re proud of will be mine.”

“And you’ll just be the daughter of fraudsters, a bully despised by the entire internet!”

He watched Letty deliberately fall to the ground, watched himself misunderstand Mia, watched her turn away to wipe tears from her eyes, watched her get beaten nearly to death by the crowd and tremblingly crawl to pick up that white dress.

Bang!

Dominic punched the steering wheel, the horn blaring shrilly.

He pulled over, pressing his forehead against the wheel as his shoulders shook violently.

Were it not for the fact that she had once saved his life, he couldn’t say what he might do to Letty in this moment.
