The Hairclip He Gave Me Was a Free Gift from Her Jewelry Spree Chapter 10

For a moment, the whole room went quiet.

Charlotte looked like she had been struck by lightning.

Sebastian seemed to be in a daze.

It took him a long while to come back. His lips pressed tightly together as he stared at me without a word.

What could he say?

Blame me for hiding who I was?

But he had hidden his identity first.

And he had been the one with bad intentions.

He had no standing to accuse me.

He could only stand there in silence.

Suddenly, an uproar came from the birthday hall.

Someone called his name over and over before he finally turned.

He asked the man who ran out, his voice hoarse.

“What’s wrong?”

“Seb, something’s happened. You need to come see this.”

The giant screen in the banquet hall had been scrolling birthday wishes.

It suddenly switched to a blurry nighttime video.

A school alley late at night.

A girl holding a knife.

She plunged the blade without hesitation into a kitten’s heart.

A weak cry sounded, and a blinding flashlight beam swung over.

The girl looked up in shock, revealing a young face.

It was Charlotte at fifteen.

The whole room went dead silent.

Then gasps rippled through the crowd.

The livestream was aimed at the screen, and viewer numbers kept climbing.

Charlotte’s face went white in an instant.

She screamed and rushed onto the stage, hysterically shouting for someone to cut the video, her voice

cracking.

But no one wanted to miss the drama served up right in front of them.

The video kept playing.

The scene cut to the next clip.

At a restaurant, Sebastian, Charlotte, and a few friends were talking.

They were discussing how to humiliate me at the birthday party.

I had secretly recorded that day.

At the end of the footage, the beads scattered across the floor.

Someone asked Sebastian, “She’s your girlfriend after all, Seb. Can you really do this to her?”

He was silent for a long time and didn’t answer.

He lit the cigarette in his hand.

He didn’t know how to smoke, coughed twice, and put it out.

I had given both videos to Ethan a long time ago.

I asked him to play them during the livestream.

Ethan was careful. He had my name muted in the videos.

I would stay out of the storm of public opinion.

Sebastian whipped around to look at me.

My eyes crinkled as I gave him a sweet smile.

I mouthed silently.

“Do you like my birthday gift?”
