Chapter 271 Turn The Incident Against Me

I thought that I am numb to all the verbal abuse from public. But the pain within me makes me realize
that I remain very mindful about it.

Whitney notices that the public consensus is on her side and capitalizes on the moment, “I’m very
curious how could a divorcee, who had been involved with numerous men, be able to seduce my
husband. I suspect that she must be very slutty in bed.”

Whitney laughs as she covers her mouth and the surrounding people also look at me with disdain. I
really don’t know how Whitney can laugh.

I know that countless people will accuse me when I’m with Frances but that isn’t my original intention.
Furthermore, isn’t it enough that I have already paid such a painful price?

This time I manage to escape when Whitney tries to splash the sulphuric acid on me. But what about
next time and the time after that? This matter must not rest so easily.

I look at Whitney who is laughing gleefully and say, “From what I know, you and Frances had already
divorced. So by law, he is no longer your husband and is now your ex-husband. I will not simply let this
matter rest today. I’ll see you at the police station.”

After saying, I disregard that insane Whitney and send the person, who blocked the sulphuric acid for
me, to the hospital.

Steven also rushes to the hospital and asks me anxiously, “How are you? Are you alright?”

I shake my head and say softly, “I’m fine, the person who you sent protected me. But I don’t know how
he is fairing now.”

At this point, I look at the bright operating room with worry.



“As long as you are alright. I’ll handle the rest.” Steven says calmly.

I almost forget that Steven is a very cold-blooded person. He is anxious about me because he cares.
He doesn’t bother about anyone else.

The doors of the operating room open after a while and I hurry over to the doctor and ask, “Doctor, how
is he?”

The doctor shakes his head with regret and says, “A large portion of the patient’s face is severely burnt.
The most critical injury is his right eye was being burnt by the sulphuric acid and he has lost the use of
that eye. Even if we do skin grafts for his face, it will not recover totally. The price for skin graft
operations is not cheap.”

“You don’t have to worry about the costs. Just get the best team to treat him.” Steven says solemnly.

Steven pays for the entire medical bill and gives the bodyguard a large amount of money as
compensation. According to Steven, any problem that he can settle with money isn’t a problem.

But money cannot resolve the guilt within me. If it isn’t because of me, he will not suffer such a big
change in his life.

When I visit the big brother who saved me, he did not blame me for the incident. It looks like Steven
has given him an astronomical sum. After expressing my apologies and gratitude, I proceed to the
police station with Steven.

Whitney is still making her official statement and I describe the entire situation to the policeman.

“Your account of what happened is very different from what Ms. Jordan claims.” The policeman frowns
as he says to me.



“In what way is it different?” I ask.

“Ms. Jordan said that the bottle of sulphuric acid was in your hand and she snatched it from you in self-
defense and in the process it leaked and hurt that man.”

What a joke! I didn’t expect that Whitney can weave such a lie to turn the incident against
me!
