After Rebirth, I Replaced My Ex-Husband's True Love-Chapter 162: You Reap What You Sow

"Azure, who is Winter Tate?" Walter Vaughn asked.

"She is now the original owner of that heart, Winter Tate, the first woman Henry Preston ever liked." I clarified his confusion, "Your daughter has known about this for a long time and has met The Tate Family. Didn’t you know?"

Laura Lawson shook her head blankly, "No, I didn’t know, I only know that the year she had the surgery, someone came to see her, chatted for a while, took a picture, and then left..."

"That person should have been Winter Tate’s mother." I felt a bit sympathetic for Laura again. Her only daughter kept many things hidden from her. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Stop it!!" Azure suddenly covered her ears and screamed, "Are you trying to drive me to death? Fine, I’ll go die right now!"

After saying this, Azure frantically dumped everything out of her handbag and picked up an eyebrow razor, aiming it at her own wrist.

She was crying while looking at Henry Preston, "Henry, they all say Zoe Hathaway loved you for ten years, deeply and truly, but what about Sister Winter? You betrayed her! And me, from the first time I heard your name, I felt that we would meet by destiny. I worked hard to study, to get into University A and stay in City A, because I believed in our fate!"

I calculated that Azure was around fifteen or sixteen when she received the heart transplant, right at the age of first love.

From her breakdown and accusations, I learned about another unsolved mystery.

It turned out that the gift Winter Tate’s mother gave to Azure back then was a photo album and a diary, which contained various records of Winter Tate. The album included photos of The Tate sisters, so she had indeed recognized Fern Tate early on.

Fern Tate listened in a daze. She had always refused to believe Azure knew about these things long ago, thinking Azure was just a naive little girl who didn’t know anything.

Even though Azure was crying hysterically, Henry Preston remained indifferent. He hated being played for a fool, but Azure had fooled him again and again.

"Henry, help me for the last time. Try to salvage the post Zoe Hathaway put on Weibo, can you?" Azure was still concerned about her crumbling image and pleaded with Henry once more.

"Get lost!" Henry’s answer was merciless, his gaze alarmingly cold, warning Azure, "From today on, never appear in front of me again. Your family should leave City A immediately and never return!"

Azure’s lips trembled, and she looked at Henry with fear and reluctance, stumbling back a few steps as if she couldn’t accept the reality.

Henry’s ultimatum meant he wouldn’t help her with her academic issues or surgery problems anymore, and her family would have to leave their familiar environment to start over elsewhere.

Laura Lawson and Walter Vaughn’s faces were tense, but they were more concerned about their daughter’s safety. Walter seized the moment when Azure was lost in thought, rushed forward, and took the eyebrow razor from her hand, throwing it away.

Azure was already disoriented, ignoring it all, and immediately went over to Jason Forrest, grabbing his hand, "Jason, please help me, I come from a modest background, it’s not easy to get to where I am, haven’t you always encouraged me? Can you help me... sob..."

"Azure..." Seeing Azure cry so terribly, Jason Forrest felt a moment of softness, but then returned to his senses in the next second, pushing away Azure’s hand and shaking his head, "You’ve gone too far, you’ve deceived me, deceived too many people."

Being rejected by Jason, Azure showed a look of defeat and despair.

The atmosphere became tense.

Suddenly, Azure picked up a bottle of perfume and threw it at me like a madwoman.

There were several people around me, but after the recent conflict, they had distanced themselves. Watching the perfume fly towards me, I was temporarily at a loss.

Henry Preston was the first to react. He darted forward, reaching out to deflect the bottle of perfume, which smashed against his arm with a dull thud and then dropped to the ground.

He was seriously injured, probably hit by one of the sharp edges of the bottle, and blood quickly seeped through his sleeve, dripping down.

"Brother Henry!" Silas Lockwood was shocked. He immediately shouted at Laura Lawson and Walter Vaughn, "Are you taking her away yet?! What do you want to do? Commit murder?!"

Laura and Walter were also quite frightened. For Henry to let them disappear from City A forever was already gracious. Otherwise, to disappear from the world might also be possible.

The two grabbed Azure and walked towards the restroom exit.

Silas Lockwood and Jason Forrest surrounded Henry Preston to check his injury, while I stood a short distance away, watching. Henry looked up, and for a moment, there was silence between us.

It seemed as though all misunderstandings had finally been cleared up, and we had reached the light at the end of the tunnel, yet we both understood deeply that once some people and events were missed, they could not be redone.

It was as if a war had raged between us, and finally, one day, it was over. The smoke cleared away, but it revealed a battlefield of ruins, scarred and torn.

I pressed my lips together, quickly left, and drove away from the airport alone. Shortly after starting, I saw Laura anxiously trying to hail a car on the roadside, while Azure lay on the ground, seemingly unconscious, with Walter performing CPR.

I didn’t stop, speeding away. What flashed through my mind was the image of my parents crying at my bedside when I was diagnosed with terminal cancer in a past life.

Such despair and pain, finally, were evenly distributed by God to Azure’s family.

This incident led to a miserable outcome for Azure.

University A directly withdrew all donations and canceled her reserved admission.

Those who once defended her, swearing by her character, jumped out to say they were deceived by her, claiming blindness.

And something unexpected came from Joel Sutton.

He originally wanted to help me, but I had already executed my plan. After I exposed the true face of Azure, he, as Azure’s ex-boyfriend, uploaded some screenshots.

It turned out that when he originally saw the chat records between Azure and Henry Preston, he had secretly taken some photos with his phone. These photos proved it was Azure who initiated contact with Henry first.

This was essentially adding fuel to the fire, and Azure found herself entirely vilified online, earning the nickname "Mistress Combat Jet" from netizens.

Henry naturally faced criticism for being fickle, but with his numerous past scandals, netizens had become used to it, so the intensity was mild.

Unfortunately, Azure had been lying in the ICU these past few days and was completely oblivious to the current heat.

I didn’t care if she lived or died. Without Henry’s help, her surgery was likely doomed, not because money was an issue but because sometimes what one needs is connections and social networks.

"Tsk tsk, what a cheer, what a wonderful scolding!" During a gathering, Crystal Dawson watched the netizens harshly criticize Azure, laughing like a blooming flower.

"Don’t laugh too hard, be careful with the two little ones in your belly." Leah Lane reminded her. Crystal Dawson was pregnant with twins, and her belly was already quite large; even when happy, a pregnant woman shouldn’t be too emotionally intense.

Crystal Dawson rubbed her belly, "It’s okay, my kids are definitely as strong as I am, laughing would never cause any problem, but Zoe, has Henry contacted you these days?"

I shook my head, drinking juice earnestly. It had been over half a month since Azure’s incident, and Henry had not contacted me; neither did I wish to seek him out.

At this time, Crystal Dawson’s phone rang. It was a call from Silas Lockwood.

"What? What does that have to do with us? You try helping and see!" Crystal Dawson got furious all of a sudden, not knowing what Silas Lockwood had said.

After hanging up, she angrily told us, "Azure’s parents had an accident and need money, and she actually came to find Silas Lockwood to borrow money!"

I was startled. What happened to Laura and Walter?

Crystal Dawson hadn’t inquired much because she wasn’t concerned about Azure’s family’s situation; she only knew Laura and Walter had been in a car accident, and their condition was critical, lying in ICU, requiring a lot of daily expenses, while Azure herself was unstable, how could she take care of them?

Other than borrowing money from others, there was indeed no other way.

I didn’t put much thought into this matter, for Azure’s family’s situation had nothing to do with me. I just hadn’t expected Azure to come to me for money, and was shocked when I received her call.

How could she have the face to ask me for money?

"Sorry, I can’t help you." After saying this, I prepared to hang up the phone.

"Zoe Hathaway, why are you so ruthless? You’ve already caused me to lose the chance for surgery in Country D, and now my parents are in trouble, don’t you have plenty of money?" Azure was furious, standing on a moral high ground to accuse me.

"Self-inflicted harm cannot be borne, you know?" I wasn’t angry, merely advising her of a simple truth.

Azure’s tone was full of reluctance, "Just you wait, one day I will live better than you, and you will regret it!"

"Fine, I’ll wait." Saying this, I immediately hung up the phone.
