Chapter 74

Autumn forced herself to hold it together until she got to the car because she didn’t want Ginny to worry.

The moment she slid into the driver’s seat, she finally let out a breath.

Her hands were trembling as she reached into her bag for the bottle of pills.

She tossed one into her mouth and took several gulps of warm water, only managing to swallow the bitterness after a few tries.

Ever since her diagnosis, she made sure to keep warm water in the car every day, just in case.

She was about to start the engine when a familiar figure caught her eye.

She watched as the person walked away, trying to place the face, but couldn’t quite recall.

Lowering her window, she turned her gaze toward the front gate.

Luna stood there, holding another woman’s arm.

The two of them seemed close, laughing and talking as if they’d been friends for years.

When Autumn got a clear look at the woman’s face, her eyes widened.

It finally hit her who she was.

Jasmine Far.

They were classmates back in middle school.

Jasmine came from a poor family that strongly favored sons.

One time, she’d attempted to take her own life while her parents were out.

It was the landlord who called the police, and it was Autumn’s uncle-a police officer-who broke in and saved

her.

Since her family couldn’t afford medical bills, her uncle paid out of pocket and would often bring her snacks.

They all lived in the same neighborhood, and he’d looked after Jasmine like a little sister.

But then something happened.

One day, Jasmine called the police, claiming that her uncle had tried to assault a minor,

His girlfriend broke up with him on the spot, refusing to hear a word of explanation.

Jasmine and her family all testified against him, and someone even filmed her leaving in disheveled clothes and posted it online.

She wept her way through the allegations, painting a vivid picture.

Someone claimed to have found condoms on him.

No matter what he said, no one believed him.

The scandal exploded.

Her uncle was suspended from the force and viciously attacked online.

The stress broke him.

He lost his job, and worse-he went to prison for two years.

When he got out, he was a shell of who he used to be.

But Jasmine who started it all had taken the compensation money, transferred to another school, and went on living her life as if nothing had happened.

Autumn once tried to ask her uncle what really happened, but he never spoke a word about it.

He took the truth with him to the grave.

Seeing that face again now, a wave of fury surged inside her.

Her hands clenched the steering wheel, her whole body trembling with rage.

That woman destroyed her uncle’s life, yet she still got to walk around carefree.

This world really was unfair.

She never believed her uncle was capable of something like that.

Back then, she’d been too young to look into it.

But now, she wouldn’t let it go.

She was going to dig into the truth and make Jasmine pay for what she’d done.
