All Chapters of Maimed Me for a Fake Heir, Now They Beg: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My hands were covered in black motor oil as I crouched in the auto repair shop. It was located at the corner of the street and was no bigger than 100 square feet.The scar that stretched across the back of my hand would occasionally throb in pain because of nerve damage.It had been three months since I had been released from prison. By now, I had already gotten used to the weight of the wrench in my hands and the scent of motor oil.I was still lost in thought when I was suddenly yanked back to the present by an angry voice."Jamie Lachman, you bastard! So, you've been hiding out here all this time!"The sharp and hateful voice shattered the silence in the auto repair shop.I lifted my head just in time to see my ex-fiancee, Winona Green, storm in with the rest of the Lachman family.My mother, Heather Solden, discarded her pride the moment she laid eyes on me, throwing herself on the floor that was covered with metal shavings. She didn't seem to care that she was wearing a sil

I wasn't able to leave with Winona, Heather, and Terry immediately because the furious netizens tracked me down sooner than expected.I had just agreed to leave with them when a group of young men burst into the auto repair shop."Murderer! Leave this place!""You sick bastard! How dare you stand on the sidelines and do nothing when you can save a life? You should just die!"The young men hurled rotten tomatoes and eggs at my signboard. One of them rushed into the shop and kicked over a mountain bike that I had painstakingly assembled, sending parts scattering across the floor.Terry and Heather did nothing as the young men vandalized my shop, watching the chaos unfold with icy gazes. In fact, I could pick out a hint of glee flickering in their eyes.From their perspective, I would only obediently listen to their orders after I was forced into a corner.Terry glanced at the bodyguards behind him. His tone was glacial as he barked out his orders, giving off the impression that he

The air in the operating room seemed to freeze, leaving only Matthew's terrified screams that echoed off the walls.Winona's furious expression morphed into one of bewilderment. The color drained from her face. She stared at Matthew, who was thrashing around wildly on the operating table. He was her savior, and she had loved and protected him for the past decade."W-What's he talking about? Leon? The truth?" she asked, her voice shaking so badly that her words were barely intelligible.She subconsciously clutched her necklace. Matthew had given it to her as a love token.I stood next to the operating table. I picked up the scalpel again, but I made no move to stop Matthew's bleeding.I slowly raised my head and made eye contact with Winona through the glass. "Do you actually know Matthew, Winona?"My voice was colored with mocking and iciness when it echoed through the speaker. "Do you remember the fire ten years ago? You were nearly burned to ashes in the ruins. Do you know who

Matthew continued confessing his crimes. He couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams any longer, firmly believing that he was caught in a dark conspiracy."That idiot Jamie must have died a tragic death in prison, huh? I even paid the prison warden half a million dollars to ensure that they took good care of him every day!"He burst out laughing before he continued, "Since his right hand is useless now, he'll never be able to pick up a scalpel ever again!"Winona is also an idiot! I just had to get a fake scar to convince her to love me to death! The Green family's shares will be mine sooner or later. All of the Lachman family's assets will also belong to me!"Once I get my hands on the God's Reagent's patent, I'll send those two old fools to a nursing home and let them rot there for the rest of their lives!"Matthew cackled boisterously as he suddenly bolted up into a sitting position. His chest was still cut open, allowing fresh blood to leak all over the operating table,

Third Person Point-of-ViewSix months later, a massive snowstorm hit Highville during winter.Matthew was sentenced to death for his multiple crimes. It was carried out immediately.Apparently, he suffered a complete mental breakdown before his punishment and kept shouting that Jamie had returned from the dead.Both Terry and Heather were sentenced to three years in prison for harboring a criminal and bribery.Since the Lachman family had declared bankruptcy, all their assets and properties were seized. As a result, when they were released from prison, they had no choice but to live in the dim and damp slums of the city. They made a living by rummaging through trash cans for paper.Heather used to always have an elegant air about her. Now, her fingers were constantly covered with chilblains. Her shoulders were always hunched as she loitered around the streets, intently studying the faces of the young men who walked past her.Winona didn't serve time in prison, but death seemed t
