The Internet’s Favorite Couple Was My Marriage’s Worst Nightmar novel Chapter 64

Chapter 4

I opened my eyes again.

My school uniform billowed in the wind, the skirt hem lifting slightly. The filthy Elias Stone knelt before me.

He had been bullied.

I remembered that day, my childhood friend, Jason, who was the school bully, heard rumors that I fell in love with a poor boy and was furious.

He sneered: “Lily has been my girl since we were kids. She likes turtles, not men.”

He had people abuse Elias in front of me, but pretended to break his leg, wanting me to accompany him to the hospital.

At the hospital. I heard someone was bullying Elias and rushed back to stop the bullies.

This time was the same.

On the small path in the campus.

Jason followed closely, clenching his fists, his eyes red: “Lily, you can hate me, but you can’t

like ham

Countless people surrounded us to watch the drama

Elias was beaten to the ground, but his eyes flashed with mockery because he knew I would stand by lus side without reason.

But he didn’t know

The eighteen–year–old Lily Taylor was dead.

The body of Lily Taylor now housed a soul from the future, battered and broken.

Elias couldn’t suppress his smile, but the next second, a resounding slap landed on his face.

While he was stunned, I raised my hand again.

I slapped his face once more: “That’s not enough. You need to look more pitiful to seem innocent…”

Elias was dumbfounded.

He seemed to be watching a puppet off its rails.

The surrounding people were stunned.

Even Jason frowned and pulled my hand away: “Lily, such delicate hands shouldn’t deliver so many slaps. Let me do it for you…”

Everyone was confused: “What’s gotten into Lily Taylor today? Doesn’t she like Elias Stone?”

In my previous life.

I descended like a savior before Elias Stone, protected him, and openly broke with Jason.

But I didn’t know there was a bet behind it all.

Jason had set up a hundred–thousand–dollar bet, wagering that on the day he bullied Elias Stone, I wouldn’t come to save him.

This bet wasn’t fair because my friend spent heavily to keep everyone quiet, preventing me from knowing Elias was being bullied.

Undoubtedly.

Almost everyone bet my friend would win.

Little did they know, Elias already knew everything.

While I was at the hospital with Jason, I received a pre–scheduled text from Elias: “Lily, I hope I can see you one last time before I die.”

It was this message that made me rush back to school, like a small wolf protecting its cub, hugging him and not letting anyone reach.

Jason followed, angrily complaining: “Lily, my leg is broken too. You never cared about me.”

Back then, I was disgusted: “Jason, when you bully him, I’ll hate you more.”

“He’s the one manipulating us.” Jason seemed to remember something and sneered, “He acts innocent, but he’s full of tricks behind your back.”

But I wouldn’t listen.

Before his family’s bankruptcy, Elias Stone was a sought–after rich kid everyone wanted to

befriend.

After bankruptcy, he was still an outstanding student with excellent grades, beloved by teachers–a genius boy.

Such a wonderful young man.

How could he be the villain my childhood friend described?
