Millie's body trembled uncontrollably, as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head by Murray's cold demeanor.

She had not anticipated his heartlessness, not even offering her a sliver of a chance to mend things.

She couldn't accept it! "Babe, I know I messed up, but our baby is innocent! Look, this is the ultrasound, the baby already has a heartbeat. Can you really bear to let him grow up fatherless?" Murray's gaze shifted downward, looking at the shaky black and white ultrasound image she held in her trembling hands, which was too blurry to make out anything. With a mocking smile, he spoke dismissively, "Well, that's why I'm saying you should get an abortion." "Better that than to be born and immediately lose a father." Besides, he didn't acknowledge that the child was his.

Having said that, as if tired of listening, Murray turned and walked upstairs.

Millie watched his unfeeling departure, her hands clenched into fists, overwhelmed by anger and frustration. Was she to be sentenced to death just because of what she had done? All she did was defend her love, what was so wrong about that? It was all Roseanne's fault. If she hadn't repeatedly seduced Murray, making him unable to let go, how could Millie have been driven to such extractions? The thought made Millie grind her teeth in hatred, her originally beautiful features twisting into something fierce and terrifying.

No, she couldn't just sit back and accept her fate.

Suddenly, an idea struck her...

On Saturday, Roseanne received a call from the police, listening to the apologetic voice on the other end, she remained calm.

She had anticipated the outcome, insisting on her actions for the sake of a clear conscience.

As for the rest, she left it up to fate.

After hanging up, her phone buzzed with a notification for a new short video.

The forum's rumor-mongering post, which had escalated the situation, had been deleted by the admin.

The IP address traced back to a location out of town and had been deactivated by then, clearly a premeditated act.

The person wasn't found, but notably, this incident made her "famous" even before attending Kingswell University.

Someone had uploaded her photo, and even though it was just a profile shot, she was quickly dubbed "the most beautiful girl of Kingswell University." Roseanne couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Turning off her phone, she decided to work on her thesis.

That's when the doorbell rang.

Remembering she had ordered takeout, she assumed it had arrived and opened the door without a second thought.

However, she was met with Murray standing at her doorstep. Without hesitation, she tried to shut the door again.

Murray quickly braced the door frame, pushing it open slightly-

"Anne, just hearout before you shut the door. I know all about what happened in the here to apologize." Afraid of being The Maldives, and I'm shut out before he could finish, Murray rushed through his explanation.

"She savedon purpose, makingsoften towards her, which om delayed my realization of her true ΝΟ nature. That's on me. I've broken up with her, and from now on, there will be no ties between us."

Murray looked down at her, his voice carrying a hint of pleading, "Can we start over, please? kreally can't lose v.e. yourDuring this time, he had cto a clear understanding of his feelings. The only person he ever wanted was Roseanne. He couldn't bear to lose her. Nor could he forget all the sweet memories they shared.

Roseanne watched him, the once proud man now repeatedly lowering himself before her. If it had been any earlier, she would have joyfully thrown herself into his arms.
