That day, my senior classmates had set up cushions at the bottom of the cliff early on.

I had worn an impact–resistant suit beforehand, which automatically inflated when I fell. Using ropes, I escaped to a safe area.
My seniors helped me make the clothes look like they had been torn by wild animals, then sprinkled them with prepared blood.
At dawn, they sent me to the airport.
My eldest senior ruffled my hair and said, “Little junior, go without worries. We’ll keep an eye on things here.”
“That’s right, how dare they bully our little junior? This time we’ll teach them a lesson they’ll never forget!”
My most doting senior sister smiled and said, “Your junior brother is already waiting to pick you up over there. Study hard, and don’t let the master down.”
She whispered in my ear, “He’s very handsome!”
I smiled through my tears and nodded firmly.
Then I boarded the plane for a distant land without looking back.
Lucas, did you like the final “joke” I prepared for you?
Life abroad was fulfilling. I was busy adapting to the new environment and making new friends.
My junior brother, Ethan, was only two years older than me.
He wasn’t very talkative but arranged everything for me meticulously.
From finding an apartment to transportation methods, he had done his homework in advance, letting me choose according to my preferences.
Meanwhile, my senior classmates kept me updated on the news from back home in real–time.
Apparently, after my fake death, Lucas had a falling out with his group of friends.

Especially Jack and the heavyset guy, whom he beat so severely they nearly lost their lives.
Their parents were all long–time employees of the Lucas Corporation and went to the CEO’s office demanding justice for their children.
It was said that Lucas was beaten so badly by his father that he couldn’t get out of bed for half a month.
After he recovered, old Mr. Lucas planned to have him marry Bella.
He thought it would make his son settle down.
But Lucas flatly refused.
A few days later, Bella was kidnapped. When she was rescued, she was barely clinging to life.
The White family was furious and went to old Mr. Lucas demanding an explanation.
But without concrete evidence, old Mr. Lucas adamantly denied Lucas’s involvement.
In the end, not only did the marriage not happen, but the two families completely fell out.
Later, when faced with reporters‘ questions, Lucas only gave one answer:
“I have a wife. I have no relationship with Bella.”
In the screenshot my senior sister sent me, the ring on Lucas’s finger looked very familiar.
I couldn’t understand him.

I couldn’t understand him.
He had hurt me so much just to please Bella.
Why did he suddenly act like a
ieving widower after my “death“?

Although the methods used to torture me were mostly thought up by Bella and Jack,
If it weren’t for his repeated tacit approval and cooperation,
How could those pranks have become increasingly vicious?
In the end, they even disregarded my life.
Seeing Lucas now, I realized his hypocritical nature, which he himself was unaware of.
He should have been the one most deserving of judgment.
But now, he was playing the role of the victim.
Some uninformed people even fabricated stories about him,
Praising his loyalty to his wife, and beautifying his violent actions towards Bella and the others as revenge for his wife.
I felt nothing but disgust.
Later, I blocked all news related to him.
Ethan once asked me if I wanted him to help punish Lucas.
I shook my head.
The most important thing for me now was to focus on myself and build up my strength.
To prove that without him,
I would only get better and better.
