Chapter 5
Arya stood ahead, followed by several neighbors.
She suddenly let out a piercing scream, her face twisted with disgust as she stared at Zane’s and my clasped hands.
She roared, “Aiden, what the hell are you doing?”
The others also showed strange expressions, whispering among themselves.
“What are these two doing? They look pretty close.”
“Zane just died, and they’re already sneaking around together.”
Zane turned around, panic flashing across his face.
He quickly released my hand and walked over to explain to Arya, “It’s not what you think. Claire was the one who came onto
me.”
He pointed at me, his tone serious, “She mistook me for Zane, saying she wanted me to take care of them, and that she couldn’t
survive without a man!”
My heart instantly sank.
His accusatory manner was exactly the same as in my previous life. He looked at me with complete disgust while standing

intimately close to Arya.

Arya’s face immediately contorted, glaring at me coldly with a sharp, piercing voice, “Claire! You shameless b*tch, how dare you seduce my husband! You have no shame!”
Before I could defend myself, she had already rushed over, raising her hand high.
She cursed, “B*tch! I’m going to tear your face apart today and see how you’ll seduce my man then!”
The crowd of onlookers whispered among themselves, but no one stepped forward to intervene.
“So Claire was seducing Aiden. She really has no shame.”
“Her man just died and she’s already acting up. Who knows what else she’s been doing behind closed doors?”
“Claire always seemed so devoted to Zane, but she actually
mistook Aiden for Zane.”
I tried to dodge Arya while defending myself, “What they’re saying is false. It was actually Zane who…”
Zane suddenly cut me off.
He pointed to his face, where the clear handprint was still visible.

He shouted indignantly, “Claire tried to seduce me, I rejected her, and she actually hit me!”
Hearing this, everyone looked at me with even more contempt.
Arya slapped me hard across the face, then burst into tears, “Everyone come see! Zane just died and Claire is already seducing Aiden. I’m pregnant and she’s driving me to this point – she’s trying to kill me!”
Her crying sounded like an accusation, as if I had actually stolen
her man.
At that moment, Lily rushed out, pushing Arya away forcefully and hugging me tightly.
She said, “That’s not true! My mommy didn’t do anything wrong. It was Uncle Aiden who wouldn’t let us leave!”
Zane let out a cold laugh, glancing at me with disdain, as if he wasn’t the one who had torn up our tickets just minutes ago.
He said, “Claire, you’re really something, brainwashing even Lily so she believes everything you say. What’s next, making her call me daddy?”
Lily sobbed as she retorted, “You’re not my daddy. Mommy said daddy is already dead.”

I held Lily in my arms and said coldly, “I don’t want to argue with you anymore. Let me leave this place.”
But Arya wouldn’t let it go, lunging at me with her sharp nails, “You think you can just leave after seducing my man? You owe me an explanation today!”
I stumbled backward, trying to avoid her.
However, Arya threw herself to the ground first, screaming dramatically, “Aiden, she’s trying to kill our child! She pushed me down and made me miscarry!”
Arya clutched her stomach and cried out loudly, then another figure rushed in hastily.
Mary appeared with a furious expression, her usually harsh features looking particularly menacing.
She cursed angrily, “You disaster, you killed Zane. I was kind enough to let you stay in our house. Now you’re trying to kill my grandchild too! I’ll make you pay! Get out of our house and don’t take a single penny!”
ed the cloth bundle from my back and shoved me and ward the door.
Zane stood to the side, wanting to say something but then closing his mouth.

During the struggle, Mary tore open my bag, and the contents scattered all over the ground.
She quickly picked up those items, her face suddenly changing dramatically.
She said, “No wonder you wanted to leave – you were hiding all this money! This must belong to Zane, but you hid it away, you little b*tch!”
She clutched my bankbook, her eyes gleaming as she smugly stuffed it into her pocket.
I immediately tried to stop her, “This is the compensation the military gave to Lily and me after Zane’s sacrifice. What right do you have to take it?”
After Zane’s sacrifice, Mary had eagerly gone to collect the pension, but she hadn’t expected that Lily and I would also receive a share.
She pushed me away forcefully, shouting loudly, “What do you mean given to you? I’m his mother – all this money should belong to me! Who was the irresponsible person who gave you this money?”
I bit my lip, staring at the stolen bankbook, desperately thinking of how to get it back.
Just then, a crowd of people poured in from outside.

An authoritative, deep voice rang out, “I was the one who issued that compensation. Is there a problem?”
