At that moment, silence fell over the area.
Ash, previously restrained, managed to break free and landed a punch on Darius, while Serena flashed a victorious smile at me.
"Goodbye," she said as she went to Darius.
The person holding me finally released their grip.
Darius, catching sight of this, let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief: "Luna, please stop using these childish methods to test me."
He stopped mid-sentence as saw I moved backward, positioning myself on the cliff's edge, just a half-step away from plunging into the sea below.
"Luna?" Darius called out, his voice shaking.
"Sister, don't seek death over someone like him!" Ash, pinned to the ground, tears streaming down his face, pleaded, "Come back, sister. Let's live together again. I was wrong for avoiding you out of jealousy, wrong to have left you to such a scoundrel."
I merely shook my head, calmly looking at them.
"Darius, this is the hundred and first time."
"What?"
"The hundred and first time you've chosen Serena over me. I truly loved you. If you had chosen to steadfastly believe in me, we wouldn't have come to this,"
I remarked, observing his growing panic with a sense of triumph.
Turning to Serena, I continued, "Perhaps you weren't aware, but I left a gift for you."
I gestured to the second button on my blouse, "Here, there's a hidden camera. Everything you've said has been broadcast live."
I desire to go home, but not with my name sullied.
The injustices I've suffered over the years were real, and I refuse to leave this world as a thief.
Initially, I approached this world and everyone, with nothing but the best of intentions.
Serena's face showed a momentary panic, which she quickly masked, probably reassuring herself.
After all, the Azure family, capable of manipulating surveillance records, could easily interfere with my live stream.
In her mind, my alleged broadcast likely didn't last a second.
However, she underestimated the situation, hastily grabbing a phone from someone nearby.
The internet was abuzz with talk about her.
Trending hashtags like #Azure family Heiress Drama and #Bullying Rich Girl swelled, many citing the live stream recording as proof.
The video unequivocally captured her admissions of years of slander against me and her provocative remarks.
Seeing Darius also taking out his phone with a puzzled expression, Serena reached her breaking point and moved to swipe the phone from his hand.
However, It was too late.
Darius suddenly lifted his head, his complexion ashen, staring intently at me.
"It's all lies!" she screamed, pointing an accusing finger at me.
Then, She looked around and finally realized that: the male lead of her romance tale was not here.
