Her voice dripped with mockery as she continued. “Face reality and don’t overestimate yourself. Marcus M

never believe you.”

She turned to leave after her victory, but my voice rang out behind her. “I recorded everything you just said.”

Sophia froze. She spun around abruptly and saw the pen in my hand.

Her face twisted with rage as she grabbed my wrist. “You dare to record me!”

Without waiting for an answer, she easily snatched the pen from my grasp. She smashed it to the ground with

violent force, shattering it instantly.

After destroying what she thought was a recording device, Sophia sneered coldly. “Elena, | advise you not to do

such foolish things!”

| looked at the broken recording pen under her feet and suddenly smiled. “You keep saying I'm overestimating

myself, but if you really had that confidence, would you be afraid of being recorded?”

Sophia was stunned for a few seconds as | picked up the broken pen. | revealed it was just an ordinary pen

with a refill.

“This is just an ordinary pen, Healer Sophia. Why are you so agitated?”

Realizing she had been tricked, Sophia angrily knocked the pen refill from my hand. Her face flushed with

humiliation and fury.

| confronted her directly. “So what if | tricked you? | remember everything - your framingfor stealing your

bracelet and the setup in the private room last time.”

Hearing footsteps in the corridor, Sophia’s angry and twisted expression immediately transformed. Her face

becpitiful and vulnerable in an instant.

She fell backward onto the ground, sobbing tically. “Healer Elena, | know you're still angry with me. It’s

my fault for wrongly accusing you and causing you to be suspended. It’s all my fault!”

Her voice rose to a wall. “... I'm willing to die to make amends!”

With that, Sophia grabbed a fruit knife from the table. She slashed at her own wrist without hesitation.

| reached out to stop her, but at that moment, the office door was pushed open.

Marcus's gaze immediately fell on Sophia, who was cutting her wrist. Blood flowed from her wrist, staining

her white healer’s coat crimson.

clearly on my pale face.

But Marcus only had eyes for Sophia at that moment. She leaned in his arms, her face pale as moonlight.

“Marcus... it's my fault,” she whispered weakly. “I not only caused Healer Elena to nearly encounter danger, but

also... caused her to be suspended.”

Marcus's golden eyes flashed coldly as he lifted Sophia in his arms. He looked atwith icy eyes that cut like

silver blades.

“If anything happens to her, you and the Blackthorne family won't have peace.”

After Marcus left with Sophia and called for healers, the crowd in the corridor gradually dispersed. Only |

remained standing straight in the office.

The sudden silence made my breathing catch. Marcus's coldness and suspicion could still pierce my heart

like silver daggers.

My clenched hands slowly loosened, revealing deep nail marks in my palms. But | could no longer feel any

pain.

(Marcus's POV)

Sophia's cut wasn’t deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly after treatment. | returned to the ward and stood by

the bedside.

“How do you feel?” | asked.

Sophia replied weakly, “I'm sorry, Marcus. | was too impulsive, but | really didn’t want Healer Elena to

misunderstand me.”

Her voice trembled with emotion. “I truly want to have a good working relationship with her. | don’t want to

leave a bad impression and end up implicating you.”

After a long silence, | said, “You don’t need to worry about these things.”

Sophia hugged me, and my body stiffened for a moment. What used to be a simple, joyful embrace now felt

devoid of happiness.

Sophia glanced at the figure outside the door. “Marcus, no matter what, you will always believe me, right?”

| looked out the window absent-mindedly and hummed in response.

Sophia smiled. “Marcus, you're so good to me.”

(Elena’s POV)

| stood outside the door, hesitating to push it open. Sophia had seenbut didn’t expose my presence.

| knew she had deliberately asked that question in front of me. Marcus’s answer was also as expected.

| gripped my phone tightly, thinking that even if | gave the surveillance footage to Marcus to prove my

innocence, what would it matter? Sophia was right - no matter what, Marcus would alw choose to believe

her.

| laughed bitterly to myself and turned to leave.

Chapter 17 The Final Con

In the afternoon, | went to law firms to inquire about case reports. | planned to find someone to handle David's

assault case myself.

However, | was rejected by all of them. The reason for rejection was that they had received word-obviously

I froze, incredulous. “You hadfollowed?”

“Is that possible?” He extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and stepped closer to me. “Why would |

| clenched my hands and simply tried to walk past him. The man’s long arm swept around me, his tall frame

His voice was low and hoarse. “Wantto bail out David?”

“When you and grandmother forced her away, didn’t you think of this?” Marcus's tone was extremely calm, but

his words pierced throughlike a silver blade.

But that wasn't true.

Before that, | had no idea Marcus had just been broken up with. | only learned about his unforgettable
