Chapter 5
I did not expect that the school actually
invited outstanding alumni from the
neighboring school, Alec and Edwina, to
attend as guests.
After their speeches, the host smiled and
joked, “You two look like a perfect match, are
you a couple?”
Alec did not answer immediately, but instead
glanced at me coldly.
I turned away expressionlessly.

Edwina immediately put her hand on Alec’s shoulder and said, “Are we similar? We are actually siblings…”

Before she finished speaking, Alec ‘suddenly
put his arm around her waist and interrupted,
“Yes, we already have a baby.”
There was a sudden burst of cheers and
applause from the audience.
I heard a whisper behind me, “Alec was a
recognized male idol in the university town. I
heard that there was a shameless dog who
stalked him for three vears, causing him to

remain single, but in the end, the dog
succeeded.”
“A few days ago, the classmates were saying
that they were getting married. Today, the
rumor was finally dispelled.”

“She’s here today, too. If her family didn’t
have some money to donate to the school,
how could such an idiot like her be worthy of
being an outstanding alumnus?”
I clenched my fists, turned around and looked
at them when I scolded, “Have you said

enough? Why don’t you say it to my face?”
Their eyes flickered as they whispered, “We
didn’t mention any names, but you insisted
on identifying yourself with them.”
At this time, Edwina and Alec had already sat
next to me.
Edwina hypocritically advised, “Kimberley,
these two sisters didn’t say it was you, you
are too sensitive.”
Alec sneered, “You are sick!”

With their support, the two men immediately
became confident, “That’s right, you are just
looking for trouble, you are crazy!”
Just then, the host on the stage announced
the start of the alumni sharing session and
invited me to speak on stage.
I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger
and prepared to stand up.
Just as I took a step, Edwina suddenly
stretched her legs and tripped me.

I fell heavily to the ground.

My whole body was in severe pain, especially
in the knees, elbows and chin and my body
felt as if it was being torn apart.
My face felt burning with pain and when I
touched it, I found blood on my fingertips.
The entire venue fell silent in an instant.
“Are you too excited, Miss Valencia?” A harsh
laugh came from behind, “Giving such a big
gift to the school leaders!”

Amid the constant laughter, I was in so much
pain that I could not get up for a while.
Alec sat there, lowering his voice and
shouting angrily, “Get up quickly! You are
embarrassing yourself!”
Edwina pretended to reach out to help me up,
“Kimberley, don’t do that in this situation. It is
just a fall and everyone is watching.”
The pent–up anger suddenly erupted and I
fiercely shook her hand away, “Why are you
pretending to be kind? Edwina, why did you

deliberately trip me?”
“Ah!” She suddenly fell backwards and hit the
chair behind her hard, holding her stomach
and crying out in pain, “Kimberley! I was kind
enough to help you, but you didn’t appreciate
it and pushed me? What if I get miscarriage?
“Women are such a hassle. If it weren’t for
Alec’s sake, I would have fought with you
today!”
After saying this, he turned to Alec, “Alec,
control your woman. Small things please the

heart, but big things hurt the body. I’m really
fed up with these women, they fight over men
all day long and have nothing to do!”
I was amused by her remarks.
I saw clearly how Edwina stretched out her
leg to trip me and I also saw the triumphant
sneer on the corner of her mouth.
That time she dared to turn the tables.
I could not bear it any longer, so I forced
myself to stand up and raised my hand to

slap her.
Alec took a quick step in front of her and
slapped me in the face with his backhand.
The slap was so powerful that it made my
vision go black and my ears buzz.
The venue suddenly exploded.
Alec looked at the blood on his hands, wiped
it with a tissue in disgust, his eyes as cold as
ice as he shouted, “Kimberley, get out of
here!”

I stared at him blankly, my throat tightening
when I questioned unbelievably, “Alec, can’t
you stand by my side just for once?”
He was stunned for a moment, then became
even more furious, “I’ll count to three. If you
don’t get out of here, we’ll be separated
forever! Three, two…”
At this moment, I suddenly felt so sick with
his superiority. While covering my burning
cheeks, I walked out quickly.
Behind me, Alec’s tone suddenly softened,
