Chapter 4

Before the person on the other end of the line could speak, Tiffany’s follower suddenly snatched my phone and smashed it to the ground.

“Still trying to tattle? You’re just a mistress who only knows how to seduce men, where do you get off being so arrogant?!”

“Are you going to call your sugar daddies to come crush us all? Hahaha!”

“Seriously, she’s so addicted to pretending. We’re all old classmates, who doesn’t know what you’re really about?”

“Exactly, were you born in a dumpster? So full of trashy pretense?”

The old classmates once again burst into arrogant laughter, freely mocking me.

I looked at my shattered phone on the ground and said coldly,

“I hope you’re all still laughing as happily in a little while.”

Hearing that, Tiffany grabbed my collar.

“You tramp, still trying to threaten us?”

As she spoke, Tiffany suddenly noticed the jade pendant necklace around my neck.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out and yanked it off.

“This necklace looks expensive. Did you buy it with my husband’s money too?”

Seeing this, my face changed dramatically. “Give me back my necklace!”

Noticing my sudden tension, Tiffany smirked at me. “So nervous? This necklace must be worth a fortune, huh?”

I was desperate and quickly said, “It’s not worth much money, but it’s very important to me. Give it back now!”

With that, I reached out to snatch it.

This jade pendant necklace was the only memento my parents left me.

They were heroes, and they were my role models.

The last time I saw them was the day before my eighteenth birthday.

They said that once they completed this mission,

they would come back to celebrate my birthday.

But I waited and waited at home.

I never saw them again. Instead, I only received two urns of ashes and this necklace.

Director Hayes told me that before they died, my parents instructed him to give me this necklace.

My parents sacrificed their lives for our country.

They left this necklace for me.

It was their belated birthday gift.

And it was my most cherished, deepest vulnerability.

I would never allow anyone to destroy it!

“The more you want it, the more I’ll destroy it!”

Before I could even touch it, Tiffany violently slammed the necklace onto the ground.

With a crisp sound, the jade pendant shattered into a million pieces.

Pieces scattered everywhere.

“No!”

Watching the only memento my parents left me shatter like that,

my heart twisted in agony, and I found it hard to breathe.
