Unmasking Hypocrisy: A Tale of Revenge
The wife of the richest man in Northston enjoys tormenting beautiful young girls. I, born without the ability to feel pain, became her perfect target. During yet another instance of being bullied in the school bathroom, this billionaire couple found me. They brought reporters and claimed I was their long-lost daughter. For a better life, I became the rich man's daughter and was envied by everyone. But beneath their loving facade, my new wounds concealed old ones. They said this was the price of protection and that I should repay them with my life. They were right. I should repay them. Only, it would be their lives, not mine.Chapter 1 Chapter 1
At the recognition banquet filled with the sound of clinking glasses, Lauren Chester, who had been regretful and pained while holding me just yesterday, now allowed those who had bullied me to take me away. In the garden, the leading girl pinched my chin and sneered. "Do you really think you've become a rich lady?""The Chester family had lost and found countless daughters. Do you think you're the real one?" I pursed my lips and said nothing. Seeing my weak demeanor, the girl pulled out a bottle from behind her. Shaking it, she asked, "Jessica, want to try my new toy?" I looked at the bottle labeled sulfuric acid and smiled slightly, provoking her. "Sure, why don't you see if you can walk out of this villa alive tonight?" Her reaction was clearly enraged. Just as she opened the bottle and was about to throw it at me, I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran towards the hall, lifting my skirt. "Someone's trying to kill me!" My terrified screams instantly drew the attention of the guests in the hall. Seeing the girl with the sulfuric acid pursuing me, they all rushed to stand in front of me. I grabbed Lauren's arm and started crying uncontrollably. In an instant, the lively banquet turned into a farce. Lauren looked at me with an even darker expression. …… In the end, the girl and her group were all taken to the police station. The guests sensed something was off and quickly found excuses to leave. Suddenly, the vast villa fell silent, with only the eerie sound of liquid sloshing in glasses. At that moment, I knelt down before Lauren, clutching her leg and sobbing, "Mom, I’m sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that. But she almost killed me. Didn't you see what was in her hands?" Slap! The sharp sound of a slap echoed through the villa. "I told you to call me Mrs. Chester. You don't deserve to call me 'Mom'!" Lauren's face was grim. As I covered my face and looked up to plead, she exchanged glances with Jack Chester, who had been silent all along. Before long, he took out a syringe from behind him and walked straight toward me. Seeing the panic on my face, Lauren smiled with satisfaction. She yanked my hair back hard. "What are you afraid of? You don't feel pain. It's just a syringe. This is the condition for you to be my dear daughter." Her voice was light, but her eyes were filled with obsession. Despite my struggles, she pressed me firmly against the sofa, while Jack readied the syringe and aimed the liquid at my arm. Lauren leaned close to my ear, laughing softly. "You truly are the one I personally selected. Such a large dose and there isn’t even slightest side effect on you. My dear daughter, as long as you’re obediently, I believe we will have a good time together." I buried my head, staring at the dried bloodstains on the sofa. A slight smile appeared on my lips. Of course, we would have a good time together. After all, what conflicts could there be when collaborating with the dead? …… After that day, Lauren kept me under house arrest, claiming that I was too stimulated, but her torment of me didn't lessen at all.

Instead, I was taken inside the hidden basement of the villa. Injecting the drugs in the syringe into my body. As she watched me twitching all over, Lauren always clapped her hands in excitement. Sometimes she would even take pictures of me while under the effects of the drug. Jack, who was holding the syringe, never said a word. He was the richest man in the Northston, but he also seemed extraordinarily restrained in front of Lauren at the moment. He seemed to be afraid that if he was not careful, he would anger Lauren. I felt that perhaps the biggest villain should be Lauren. One day, I just woke up after the side effects of the drug. Lauren anxiously brought me out of the basement and had the servants wash and dress me. I shivered and didn't dare to look directly at her, which caused the maid on the side to have obscure eyes. "Do your part, or I'll rip you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" This wasn’t the first time that Lauren had treated them like this. After all, Lauren's ti

Looking at the girls’ profiles, I lowered my gaze. Some accounts really needed to be settled. I got to know James by chance. It was then that we discovered our goals aligned, so he handled the aftermath while I lured the bait. Luckily, the fact that I couldn’t feel pain worked in my favor. Otherwise, how could Lauren have seen me as a suitable candidate? After arriving at James's apartment, he projected all of the Chester family's assets onto the wall. "These are their partners. There's a charity event in a few days. It's organized by that woman. I believe you know what to do?" I turned to him with a smile and replied coldly, "Do I need you to tell me how to do my job?""You'd better not let them catch you off guard. Don't act without my permission. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences yourself!" With that, I took the documents in my hands and headed upstairs. We were just working together, but he actually started ordering me around. In the bedroom, I looked at the girl on

As soon as I finished speaking, Lauren's venomous gaze landed on my face. She shot me a glare and then adjusted herself to explain everything, ultimately wrapping things up with her passionate speech. Everyone thought it was just Megan’s prank. But James, who was sitting beside me, didn't share that view. When he was about to stand up, I quickly pressed him down and said coldly, "The timing isn't right. Don't act impulsively. If you want to know the truth, be patient." After that, I smiled and looked at Lauren as she walked off the stage. "Mr. Shaw, I apologize for the commotion today. Can I have Jessica back with me for a night?" Lauren looked exhausted. Jack quickly stood and wrapped his arms around her waist, frowning at me. "What are you waiting for? Are you that eager to become someone's mistress?" James looked at Jack in surprise. I hesitated for a moment, exchanged a glance with him, and then followed Jack out. It was the first time I had seen Jack speak so coldly, as i
