His anger flared even more at my defiance. He began to kick me violently.

“Are you even human? At a time like this, you can still laugh?!”

“What kind of curse did I bring upon myself in a past life to end up married to a viper like you?”

I curled up on the ground, writhing in pain from his kicks and drenched in cold sweat.

Meanwhile, the crowd roared with approval, convinced that someone like me deserved a harsh lesson.

The livestream chat erupted with comments, cheering and celebrating, proclaiming it a satisfying spectacle.

The power of public outrage was chilling.

Even though I had prepared myself for this moment, I felt my composure start to shatter under the weight of it all.

Just then, Velvet came rushing over, visibly shaken.

She hurried straight to Dorian, her voice trembling as she exclaimed, “Brother, something terrible has happened—Iris has jumped off the building!”

Her words cut through the chaos and I felt a wave of relief wash over me.

At last, everything was about to come to an end!
