Chapter 10

ผู้เขียน: River Snapshot
I chose to settle in a small town far, far away from Oceanton. It felt like spring here all year, with beautiful scenery. It was the perfect place to forget everything.

I used the last of my savings to open a flower shop in town.

The town was near a popular tourist attraction, so business was pretty good.

No one here knew me, and no one pointed their fingers at me. The neighbors were all friendly and often came by to buy flowers.

No shrill voices were echoing in my ears anymore. Once night f

The neighbors were all friendly and often came by to buy flowers.No shrill voices were echoing in my ears anymore. Once night fell, the town became especially quiet.When I saw news about Quinn again, a long time had already passed. She had given birth to a son. On the day of the baby's sip-and-see party, one month after her son's birth, she invited every notable figure in Oceanton.I looked at the photo of their family of three, and I felt nothing. It turned out that letting go of a love that I thought I could not live without was not that hard.-The next time I saw Quinn was two years later.I was watering the f

    Half a month later, my dad was finally discharged from the hospital. We returned from the city of Edgeworth to our home in the countryside.After learning the truth, my dad finally stopped being angry with me and loudly cursed Quinn for being so heartless. But the villagers who had already heard the gossip were convinced I was a homewrecker and no explanation helped.Every time I went out, someone would point at me behind my back and whisper among themselves.When I opened my social media app again, I found that my account had been unbanned at some point. My inbox would show lots of notifications every day after that, all of them abusive.Gossip accounts treated me like content and posted about me every few days. Many bloggers also maliciously edited the original videos and made their own spin on them.The labels "rumormonger" and "homewrecker" had been branded onto me, and I could no longer get rid of them.Every time I went online, those awful posts and comments would drown me,

    I wanted to push Quinn away, but she only held me tighter. "Conrad, I know everything now. Your father got sick, and Hector forced you to leave. I've missed you so much these past few days."I used all my strength to push her away and reminded her coldly, "Ms. Sanders, we've already broken up. No one forced me. I chose to leave.""Conrad, I'm sorry. I was wrong for hiding my marriage from you." Quinn grabbed my hand and pressed it to her upper chest, her eyes full of affection. "Hector and I are in an arranged, transactional marriage. We each get what we need. The person I've loved most has always been you."Conrad, come back with me. Other than marriage, I can give you anything. I can give you more money than you could ever spend, and I'll hire the best medical experts to treat your father."Looking into her pleading eyes, I suddenly felt disgusted. After a full decade together, I realized I had never truly seen Quinn this clearly. She could not give up Summers Group, and she coul

    When I dragged my luggage to Edgeworth Hospital, my dad had already finished his surgery and was now in stable condition.The moment I walked into the ward, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned toward me. They had the same sneers I had gotten used to in Oceanton."Conrad, what were you thinking? Why didn't you just get married properly? Why did you have to become some woman's boy toy?""Do you even need to ask? It must be because it pays well. Otherwise, how could he have come up with fifty thousand dollars?""What did our family do to deserve such a family member? You made your dad so enraged that he ended up in the hospital!"I felt numb as I faced my relatives' accusations. Then, I looked straight at my mom. Her hair had gone a little whiter as she sat beside my dad's hospital bed, her eyes red from crying. Her voice was hoarse, and resentment filled her eyes. "Conrad, that fifty thousand dollars... Was it..."Even with the savings I had built over the years, I could never h

    At the charity gala, Quinn received the breakup message, and her phone nearly slipped from her hand.She immediately replied: [Conrad, stop making such a fuss. We've been together for ten years. You think you can break up with me just because you say so?]But the message did not go through as Conrad had blocked her.They had been together for so many years. Whenever they argued, the worst they had done was to refuse to answer each other's calls or reply to messages. They had never blocked each other.Quinn could no longer sit still. She found an excuse to leave the gala and ran to the rooftop to call him. However, all she got was, "The number you've dialed is unavailable."After the gala ended, Quinn did not go home with Hector for once. Instead, she drove straight to Conrad's place. She rushed upstairs and pounded on the door, but no one answered.The landlord could not stand the noise and opened the door, shouting loudly, "Stop banging the door! That young man already left last

    Hector arranged for me to apologize on a livestream from a TV station.After I signed the nondisclosure agreement, I faced more than a dozen cameras and read from the script like a machine. "Hello, everyone. My name is Conrad Brown. Regarding the recent controversy online, I'm here to formally apologize to Mr. Hector Gomez and Ms. Quinn Summers..."I fabricated the chat records for attention. Quinn and I were only classmates."The number of viewers soared, and the comments were full of abuse. Netizens flooded the screen, telling me to get out of Oceanton. Every comment felt like an invisible bullet. By the time I came back to myself, my heart was already full of holes.After the livestream ended, Hector took out several stacks of cash and tossed them onto the floor. "Oops. My hand slipped. Pick it up yourself."The bills were scattered across the floor."Hector, don't push it!" I yelled. Just as I was about to charge at him, his bodyguards managed to grab me first. Someone kicked
