Chapter 339 Clenching her teeth, Elena glared at Dexter. There was not a trace of warmth in her eyes. All that remained was overwhelming hatred that was ready to explode at any moment.

"I shouldn't have loved you-is that it? But then why did you givehope in the first place?" she asked coldly.

The current Elena was like a venomous snake slithering through the dark depths of hell. She looked gorgeous and dazzling on the outside, but on the inside, there was nothing but poison.

"Stop coming up with excuses to justify your sins. I never said I liked you." Dexter scoffed, his eyes filled with disgust.

As his gaze fell on Elena, she was stunned at first, and then tears began to fall slowly.

She had never imagined that one day, she would have the courage to confront the person she once loved the most. Unfortunately for her, she had lost-completely and utterly.

How ridiculous! This was laughable.

"At the very least, tellwhy her?" After holding back her bitterness for so long, Elena bit her lip and abruptly looked up at him. "How... am I not better than her?" Angela found what Elena said particularly irritating. The way Elena spoke made it seem like Dexter was deeply in love with her.

Dexter remained silent for a long tbefore finally speaking. "I don't owe you an explanation, but since you're so pitiful, I might as well let you understand." He stepped closer, his voice indifferent. "What makes her remarkable is her self-respect, her self-control, and her sense of self-qualities you may never grasp." Angela was dumbfounded. Was this a confession? Never mind. She'd pretend she didn't hear him.

Elena was locked up in the basement of Angela's house.

However, the next morning, when Joanne went to give Elena food, she was shocked to find the latter lying in a pool of blood, unconscious and pale-faced.

Elena's wrist was wrapped in a thin wire-she had attempted suicide.

"How did this happen?" Angela's expression turned grim. "How could someone like her do something so extreme?" Joanne explained calmly, "She found a metal wire in the storage room, tied one end to the doorknob, and used it to cut deep into her wrist..." Just the thought of the scene sent chills down Angela's spine. Elena was truly ruthless toward herself.

Fortunately, the wounds on Elena's wrist weren't too deep. She barely survived and was now lying in a hospital bed, her complexion pale as a ghost.

When Angela went to see Elena, she was a little unsettled.

Elena had wanted to die, yet when faced with actual death, her body craved survival more than she did.

Hearing the commotion, Elena slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Angela, flames of fury ignited in her gaze.

"You... It was you who saved me. Why..." Though her fury burned within, her hoarse voice only allowed a fraction of it to surface. Her once-intimidating presence was now barely there.

Angela looked at Elena with a complicated expression. After a long moment, she sighed.

"Ms. Carrey, iftwere you, I wouldn't have resorted to such extractions. Iwould've continued playing the role of the perfect confidante, quietly staying by his side. That way, even if he ended up with someone else, there would still be a place forin a corner of his heart.

"I would becthe only irreplaceable woman in his life. And at that point, he would be willing to giveeverything I wanted-power, wealth, or status. Whatever Pasked for, he wouldn't hesitate to provide." Angela had never voiced such thoughts before, but deep down, she understood them perfectly.

It was precisely because she had figured this out that her life had am transformed for the better, and she was no longer like before, when she had just been a bitter, dull woman who blamed the world.
