“I’m sorry, Felicity. I didn’t know the locket meant so much to you. If you’re still angry about it, you can slap me again.”
The caring gaze Yoel had for me was instantly gone when he heard that. “I was the one who gave Rosie that, and she had no idea
what it was. If you’re angry about it, just take it out on me!”
Meanwhile, I had finally removed the golden locket, and I looked at it in a daze. The necklace had snapped in half. However, Yoel
thought I was still throwing a tantrum.
“Don’t you think this is enough, Felicity? It has been three years since Remy died. When are you going to stop sulking over it?
Apologize to Rosie now! You’re lucky she’s kind. If it were someone else, you would’ve been locked up by now!”
I scoffed in anger. “Locked up, huh? I’m not the one who should be locked up. Aren’t you going to tell me the truth about the
accident I was in back then?”
Yoel frowned slightly, and he looked a little anxious. “It was a case of drunk driving, wasn’t it? Besides, the culprit has already been punished.”

Rosa hurriedly calmed him down, telling him to forget it. “Felicity has always disliked how close we are. After all, a woman can
get pretty unreasonable when she’s jealous. You should hurry up and comfort her now. I’ll be fine.”
Yoel looked aloof and said that he wanted to send her to the hospital. “Haven’t I comforted her enough in the past few years? She should take some time to reflect on herself this time. Otherwise, she’s going to cross the line.”
After saying that, he picked Rosa up and left without looking back. I had already given up on him as well.
I checked Rosa’s social media. She only had a minor scratch on her elbow, and Yoel called a whole group of specialists to check up on her. As for me, I just got my hand wrapped up at a random clinic nearby. The dog left a horrible–looking wound on my hand.
After I reached home, I stuffed all of Remy’s belongings in my suitcase and left.
Yoel didn’t go home for two days, but he sent me a lot of messages.
“Since you’ve hit Rosie, I’m making it up to her for you by taking care of her.”
“You were hurt too. Have you seen a doctor yet?”
“Are you still angry? I’ll apologize to you, alright? If you like the locket that much, I’ll get the best designer in the world to make a new one for you.”
I didn’t reply to his messages at all. Then, he rushed back to the villa on the third morning. I looked at the surveillance footage and saw that Wendy had finally found the divorce papers I left behind.
Yoel clenched the papers tightly, and he looked incredibly upset. Then, my phone started ringing furiously, but I rejected his calls repeatedly.
“Can you stop this, dear? I’m home now, and I’ll apologize to you. Please don’t pull my leg with a divorce!”
“You wanted to go to Idani this weekend, right? I’ll postpone my appointment and go with you, alright?”
The messages came nonstop, but I still didn’t care about them. I noticed how anxious Yoel looked as he paced around in the footage. Soon after that, he received a call and answered it on loudspeaker.
Then, I heard Dr. Fisher’s anxious voice. “Something terrible has happened, Yoel! One of the nurses said she saw Felicity standing outside the office when we were talking the other day! Do you think she has heard what we said?”
Yoel’s shoulders dropped, and his phone smashed on the ceramic table next to him.
“No… I’m sure the nurse had mistaken someone else for her!”
That was the first time he lost his composure. Unfortunately for him, his hopes were destroyed immediately.
“I’ve checked the surveillance footage from that day. It really was Felicity. She was there when we were talking about it…”
