Lilian collapsed on the floor. There was a loud thud as she felt the elevator shake. A wolf had just slammed into the elevator door, and Lilian was trembling all over.

The wolf was just outside the door, its bloody mouth wide open and baring its long sharp fangs. If she had been even a second too slow, the giant wolf would have bitten off her neck.

How could this happen?" she thought. Lilian never dreamed that she would ever encounter something like that. Several wolves howled, one after another, outside the elevator as if they could tear everything apart.

Lilian was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly realized she could call the police.

Fortunately, her phone was

in pocket. Lilian dialed 911, only to replace that the signal was jammed. This is too cruel, Cynthia! What should I do now? she cried internally.

Her eyes were fixed on the last message sent from her phone. It was sent to Filip. He would come for certain.

Due to Cynthia's sudden appointment, Lilian knew they would have a falling out that day. So, she sent a message to Filip earlier. She originally wanted Filip to come and see Cynthia being harsh on her while Lilian was sincere about admitting fault.

However, she didn't expect that that would happen before Filip arrived. She was terrified but even more afraid that she couldn't wait for Filip. The howling outside struck fear in her heart.

The display screen in the elevator suddenly lit up, showing Cynthia's face. Judging by the background, it seemed that she'd returned to the monitoring room and was sitting leisurely in a chair.

Lilian screamed at her like crazy. "Cynthia, have you gone

Cynthia smiled and tossed her wavy hair with one hand. Her smile was dazzling and captivating, but the coldness in her eyes was unmistakable. "Lilian, you're not the only one who's ruthless. You deserve everything you've suffered today"

Lilian didn't expect Cynthia to be so insane when she was mad. She thought, 'Is this still the Cynthia I knew, who was as radiant as the sun? She's like a monster from hell now.

She quickly gave in and said, "Cynthia, please forgive me. I'm sorry. I'm pregnant and terrified. Don't joke with me like this, okay?" Lilian still had a glimmer of hope.

Cynthia sneered. "Lilian, we can do this the easy way or the hard way." She stared at the screen and said in a calm but oppressive tone, "Who was it? Tell me. You should know who violated me."

Lilian knelt on the floor and cried bitterly. "I don't know. I really don't know."

"Lilian, I can open the elevator door at any time," said Cynthia.

Lilian suddenly looked up, thinking, "Right-this is a smart home. She has the remote control for it.

She heard the wolf's paws scratching against the elevator door, and right then, there was more than one wolf outside, leaving her on tenterhooks. She stepped back in horror and crumpled in the corner of the elevator. Filip, why aren't you here yet?" she panicked inwardly.

Cynthia's calm voice came from the screen again. "I'll count down from ten. If you still won't tell me... you're on your own.

Ten!"

Lilian's heart beat rapidly. It felt like it could leap out from her chest. She looked dazed as if she was horrified to her core "Nine!" said Cynthia. Lilian had come to her senses. Her mind was running a mile a minute as she began to kneel to the 09:35 Wed, Nov b

screen, begging for merry-Yet, she kept denying having any knowledge.

"Eight! Seven!" Even as she watched Lilian beg, Cynthia wasn't moved in the least.

Lilian's expression changed instantly, and she started cursing. "Cynthia, why did you do this to me? You're breaking the law. If you kill me, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail.

"Six! Five!" Cynthia continued.

"Cynthia, don't be like this. Can't we talk this out? Calm down. We used to be such good friends. You took a knife for me, and I took the punishment of running six miles for you. Have you forgotten all that?" Lilian pleaded. Cynthia ignored her. "Four!"

Lilian said, "Cynthia, I hate you. How can someone lucky like you understand how it feels to hit rock bottom? Don't you still have a good life? You have everything you want, and you haven't lost anything. Why do you still care about someone like me who has nothing?" "Three!"

"Cynthia, please let me go. There's something I've always wanted to tell you!" Lilian begged.

"Two!"

Lilian continued. "You don't know me-you don't understand me at all. You're always surrounded by people-you have so many friends that I'm jealous. I've always wondered that if you had nothing like me, would you... "One!" Cynthia reached the last number. Lilian also heard that the elevator door was about to open. She rushed over to the panel and desperately pressed the "close" button, but it was of no use.

The door had already opened a crack, and two sharp claws reached in from the outside, desperately trying to wrench it open. Lilian was shocked to see the claws, and her mind went blank instantly. Just as the door was about to open, she screamed at the monitor, "It's Scar! He did it!"

Sure enough, after Lilian spoke, the elevator door shut tightly again. Lilian collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly.

Cynthia stared at her from the monitoring room, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. 'Scar! Memories came flooding back. Scar's real name was Silas Wood. He was Lilian's neighbor.

Places like Misty Alley were full of all kinds of people. Scar was a few years older than Lilian. He had been involved with the mafia since he was a child and grew up to become a violent and uneducated gangster.

When Lilian entered junior high school, he began to harass Lilian since he noticed that she was growing into a beautiful. young lady. Lilian also avoided him, but no matter how hard she tried, Scar still followed her like a shadow. In high school, he even claimed to be her boyfriend and followed her to school, often going there to make trouble.

At that time, Lilian was despised by nearly the whole school. Even the principal wanted to expel her. It was Cynthia who stepped forward to help solve her troubles time and again. Cynthia beat Scar up several times, which made him resentful

Once, after school, he went to harass Lilian again, and Cynthia intervened. Scar pulled out a knife. He knew that he couldn't defeat Cynthia, so he stabbed Lilian as if to vent his anger on her

Cynthia didn't even think about it at that time. She stood in front of Lilian, and the knife sank deep into her shoulder. There was still a deep scar there. Later, the incident resulted in Scar being convicted of assault. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

As she recalled the past, Cynthia felt that the scar on her shoulder began to ache again. The pain of the knife piercing her bone marrow swept over her like a wave. Sweat beaded on her back and forehead.

But at that moment, Cynthia was still aware. Her voice was cold and terrifying. "Lilian. I almost lost half my life to save you from Scar, but then you teamed up with him t
