Chapter 4The Ultimate Burn: Turning the Flames Back on My Bully

My dad gently patted Henry’s dad on the shoulder, sighing.

“I know our children are our lives. I understand how you feel.”

“But life must go on, no matter how hard it is. Once you’ve recovered, let’s start the wind power project together. The approval documents just came through.”

Instantly, Henry’s parents’ expressions softened.

They were just waiting for my dad to say that.

After all, their son was crippled—that’s a fact. And it was his own fault. Blaming me was pointless. Better to exchange the misery for a multi-billion dollar partnership.

Henry’s dad nodded.

“You’re right. We have to keep living.”

Henry expected his parents to demand justice for him, to make me pay a painful price.

Instead, he realized they were using him as a tool for business interests.

He was so angry his face turned crimson. He was about to curse me,

when I leaned in and whispered mockingly in his ear.

“Henry, I lied to them just now.”

“I knew you weren’t doing a magic trick, and I deliberately didn’t save you. You can forget about advanced prosthetic legs. The scars will be permanent.”

“I personally ruined you, but this is just the beginning.”

The words were devastating.

So devastating that his hysterical screams started only after I pretended to tuck him in.

“Skylar Li, you bitch! You devil!”

“Mom, Dad, she just admitted it! It was all deliberate! She wanted to ruin me! No, she wanted to kill me!”

“Mom, Dad, you have to kill her! Kill her—”

He didn't finish.

Henry’s dad angrily yelled at him.

“Henry Wen!”

“Are you done throwing a fit? You’re still trying to blame Skylar!”

“You set the fire yourself, and you told the security guards it was fireworks so they wouldn't check! Everything that happened is your own damn fault! Be thankful Skylar didn't get hurt, or your life wouldn't be enough to pay for it!”

Henry was so enraged he started spitting up blood.

Doctors and nurses rushed him to the operating room for emergency treatment.

The comments section was livid.

“WTF, the side character is seriously insane! Absolutely unhinged!”

“Did the side character reincarnate too? She’s brutal! Her words are murderous. It’s pathetic how the male lead is being destroyed by her.”

“Honestly, this psycho side character is kinda hot. The male lead wanted to kill her, and she reversed the outcome. That’s fair.”

“Haha, when you put it that way, it’s actually pretty cool.”

I smiled.

Of course, it’s cool. Compared to the hypocritical male lead and the weak, fake female lead, a vicious side character like me is much more entertaining. I’m ready to kill them both.

Don't bother trying to bind me with morality.

A devil who clawed her way out of hell has no morals whatsoever.
