Couples in Love (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
When a sharp, frosty question shot from Morgan’s expressionless lips, Jenny flinched.
The moment had finally arrived—the most painful, hardest-to-answer question could no longer be avoided.
Jenny calmly laid bare the suffocating guilt she had never confessed to anyone.
“During summer vacation in my second year of high school, my father dragged me on a family camping trip, even though I hated the idea. I couldn’t stand watching you two act so affectionate, so I went off alone to the stream. I dozed off there, and late in the afternoon, a heavy downpour started.”
“…….”
“I took off my cardigan to cover my head and ran—but I slipped. The cardigan fell into the stream. By the time I returned to the tent, soaked through from the rain, you were both gone. Shortly after, I heard rescue teams and people talking down by the lower part of the stream. That’s when I found out you’d both been swept away by the flash flood.”
“Was it because they were looking for you?”
“Witnesses said they saw a cardigan floating downstream, thought it was me, and Mother jumped in first. Then Father followed right after. In the end, you both… you passed away that day.”
After Jenny finished speaking, a suffocating silence filled the room. Neither Jenny nor Morgan could easily speak.
They looked at each other, yet their empty gazes passed right through one another, fixed vaguely beyond each other’s shoulders.
“Go ahead—call me names, hit me if you want. Blame me, hate me. Just don’t forgive me.”
After a long pause, Jenny finally spoke, her eyes red-rimmed as if she might cry any second. But she refused to let a single tear fall. Instead, she kept spitting out harsh words aimed only at herself.
“Just use everything I have. All the assets your father left your mother—they’re all yours now.”
“Shut up! She’s my mom—stop calling her ‘Mother’!”
Suddenly, fury exploded from Morgan’s mouth.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
