Chapter 51 It\u2019s My Fault<\/p>\n
Peggie\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
The moment I heard the doorknob turn, I already knew who it was.<\/p>\n
I glanced at Deanna across the room, a faint smile tugging at my lips.<\/p>\n
Deanna, this time I\u2019ll make you pay.<\/p>\n
Without a second thought, I shut my eyes, lifted the steaming cup in my hand, and threw the hot tea onto myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cArgghhh!\u201d<\/p>\n
The boiling water splashed over my skin, and a sharp scream tore from my throat.<\/p>\n
The burning sensation spread like wildfire, searing me so fast I almost passed out.<\/p>\n
Within seconds, angry red welts covered my chest and arms, swollen and raw. The sight was terrifying.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
When Peggie raised the cup, I thought she was going to throw it at me.<\/p>\n
I even grabbed my bag to shield myself.<\/p>\n
But then\u2013she turned it on herself. What kind of insane person does that?<\/p>\n
Watching her stage this little performance, I almost wished Violet was here to take notes.<\/p>\n
Right then, the door slammed open.<\/p>\n
ake rushed in like a storm.<\/p>\n

His eyes flickered with surprise when he saw me, but the moment he spotted Peggie sprawled on the couch, soaked and trembling, his shock turned into rage.<\/p>\n
He darted to her side, grabbed a towel, and began patting her dry. His voice thundered at me, \u201cDeanna! What did you do to Peggie?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Peggie\u2019s tears slid down her cheeks as she clung to Jake\u2019s arms, her voice soft and broken.<\/p>\n
\u201cJake, don\u2019t blame Deanna. I\u2019m fine. It was my fault. I wasn\u2019t careful and spilled the tea on myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t stop myself from rolling my eyes.<\/p>\n
Here we go again.<\/p>\n
That fake, pitiful act\u2013so obvious, so cheap,<\/p>\n
And yet, men always fall for it.<\/p>\n
Jake didn\u2019t question her further. He quickly pulled out his phone and called Jorge.<\/p>\n

Minutes later, Jorge burst into the room carrying a first\u2013aid kit. He worked quickly, applying ointment and cool compresses to Peggie\u2019s burns.<\/p>\n
The whole time, Peggie kept comforting them.<\/p>\n
\u201cJake, Jorge, I\u2019m fine. I\u2019m glad the tea wasn\u2019t too hot. It\u2019s no big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
But didn\u2019t she claim that if the tea had been just a little hotter, I would\u2019ve disfigured her for life?<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t comforting them; this bitch was fanning the flames.<\/p>\n
Jorge exploded in an instant. He shot up, pointed at my face, and shouted, \u201cDeanna, how could you be so vile? Peggie has surgery tomorrow, and today you tried to burn her with hot tea! What kind of twisted mind do you have?\u201d<\/p>\n
He raised his hand to strike me. My heart sank, and I tried to dodge, but Jake caught his arm just in time.<\/p>\n
I sneered back, \u201cWhich of you actually saw me pour hot tea on her? Couldn\u2019t she have poured it on herself? Don\u2019t pin this on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peggie spoke in her weak, gentle voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, I know you didn\u2019t mean to hurt me. I don\u2019t blame you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then she turned to Jorge. \u201cDon\u2019t be so harsh on her. It\u2019s my fault that she doesn\u2019t like me. This is all because of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot on purpose?!\u201d Jorge roared, furious now. \u201cJake, let me go! I need to teach this woman a lesson today and put her in place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jake frowned, his eyes sharp as he glanced at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cJorge, patch up her wound and then get out. Don\u2019t make a scene here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJake, don\u2019t be fooled! Last time Deanna tried to make Peggie jump into a pool; now she\u2019s here throwing boiling tea at Peggie.<\/p>\n
out to kill her! If you won\u2019t deal with her, I will!\u201d<\/p>\n
ge, I\u2019ll handle this. Get out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jake flung his hand off and shoved him back.<\/p>\n
Jorge staggered a few steps.<\/p>\n
The whole scene rendered me speechless.<\/p>\n
I hadn\u2019t done anything, but this doctor still looked like he wanted to hit me,<\/p>\n
And I couldn\u2019t tell if Jake was really standing up for me\u2013or just trying to save his pride.<\/p>\n
So, I pulled out my phone, opened the camera, and started recording.<\/p>\n
\u201cJorge, if you dare to touch me, I\u2019ll send this video to the hospital. Let\u2019s see if you still get to keep your medical license.\u201d<\/p>\n
