Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 157

The video was shot in her bedroom, the floor littered with chaos and broken glass.

Shards glinted everywhere, scattered across the carpet.

In the second half of the video, Noelle climbed down from her bed, barefoot. Muttering about apologizing to Zinnia, she stepped straight onto the glass without a moment’s hesitation.

Instantly, blood bloomed across the pristine white rug.

The camera shook, and Rosalie’s frantic voice broke through the confusion.

Rosalie had registered a new account just to post this video.

The caption explained that Noelle’s previous video—where she’d lashed out—was motivated by concern for her brother’s illness. She was too naïve to realize it would lead people to wrongly accuse Zinnia of being a homewrecker. Now, wracked with guilt and emotional distress, Noelle’s mental health had sharply declined. The post pleaded for understanding and forgiveness, insisting Noelle never meant for Zinnia to suffer online harassment.

Attached at the end was a scan of Noelle’s clinical depression diagnosis, complete with a doctor’s signature.

As soon as the video went live, Noelle’s previously silent fans found a new stage to perform on, flooding the comments with righteous indignation.

“She’s already apologized. What more do you want from her?”

“Enough is enough—Noelle’s depression has relapsed from all this stress. Are you trying to drive her to the edge?”

“Zinnia’s the CEO’s wife, for heaven’s sake. Don’t be so petty. She’s gotten an apology—stop riling up your followers to attack Noelle.”

“Noelle’s brother’s illness still isn’t diagnosed. You think she’s stirring up drama just to distract everyone and sneak away unscathed?”

“Excuse me, does Mrs. Jensen have psychic powers or something? How did she know Noelle was about to step on glass and just happened to record it in advance? Is this another one of her staged redemption stories?”
