The day my boyfriend, Lucian Farrell, and I, Roxanne Schmidt, decide to register our marriage, the million-dollar diamond ring he'd promised me turns into a can tab. So, I broke things up with him on the spot. In a panic, Lucian fishes out the purchase receipt. "I just forgot to bring the ring. If it bothers you, I can go home and get it right now," he coaxes. My gaze lands on the figure hurrying toward both of us. "There's no need for that. Your 'little shadow' has already brought it over for you," I replied indifferently. Evelyn Wiley rushes up before me with tears in her eyes. A large diamond ring is wedged tightly around her swollen ring finger. "I just wanted to help Ms. Schmidt try the size. But it wouldn't come off no matter how hard I tried…" she explains between sobs. Lucian's face darkens instantly. "Who said you could touch it? The ring was meant for Roxanne!" he snaps. He wrenches at the ring, but it doesn't budge at the slightest. I watch the commotion before me with my arms folded. All of a sudden, a laugh escapes me. "It's simple. If it won't come off, then we can just cut her finger off."

My exit from Stellaria Group dealt a devastating blow to the company. Although it managed to stay afloat, the company had long since lost its former glory.Resignation letters piled up on Lucian's desk the day he returned to Dravoria.More than half of the middle and senior executives in the company had been loyal to me.One by one, these diligent staff lost faith in Lucian when he fired me after I'd worked ceaselessly, only to promote the incompetent Evelyn—who'd spent her days slacking off—to technical director.With the core team gone, the company's operations immediately ground to a halt.Lucian had no choice but to offer exorbitant salaries in order to poach talent. It didn't take long before the reserves we'd built up over the past two years ran dry.Desperate to turn things around, he made a gamble by planning a livestream launch for the new car model and appointed Evelyn as the main presenter.Just a year ago, I secured 50 thousand orders on the very same stage through s

Evelyn burst out laughing. Malice flashed through her gaze before she spoke up. "You're still trying to keep up the act? In that case, don't blame me for not showing you mercy."She raised a hand and stopped Joseph, who had just happened to be passing by. "Someone's behaving rather suspiciously here, Mr. Sanford. I suspect that she sneaked in. Would you mind checking her invitation?" Her voice was laced with feigned respect.Joseph gave me a brief glance before he replied indifferently, "This lady is indeed not on the guest list."A triumphant smile instantly appeared on Evelyn's face as she mocked, "As expected, the elite circle isn't something every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets to waltz into."Then, she shot me a sideways glance. "What are you still doing here, Roxanne? Get out!"But things took a sharp turn the very next moment. "Ms. Schmidt is the host for tonight's banquet. Naturally, she has no need for an invitation," Joseph continued.He narrowed his eyes as his tone abrup

I had to lie in the hospital bed for an entire week due to the extensive burns. The gauze would get stuck to the wounds whenever the nurses changed my bandages. I was often in so much agony that my body would tremble from the pain.Not a single call came from Lucian the whole time I was there, yet I was able to keep up with their latest activity through Evelyn's Instagram. Lucian was out strolling through the streets of Eldrithen with Evelyn, while I couldn't even bring myself to look at my disfigured reflection in the mirror. Sunlight bathed across her smooth, unblemished face, and the sight of their radiant smiles in the photo stung my eyes.When I tossed and turned all night because my wounds had become infected, Evelyn uploaded a new post again."I couldn't sleep at night. Thank goodness I have a master chef right by my side to whip up some pasta for me," she wrote. The photo showed Lucian in an apron as he got busy in the kitchen.This was the same man who'd promised to

My fingers trembled uncontrollably when I saw that Evelyn's name had been clearly listed as Lucian's spouse. The registration date was the very next day after they'd reunited.Everything that hadn't made sense before instantly fell in place. The reason he'd let Evelyn join the company, the way his threats to fire her never led anywhere… it all made sense now.Like the fool I was, they'd played me in the palm of their hand for an entire year.I walked out of the office in a daze, only to bump into Evelyn sneaking around with a thermos in hand. Steam was still rising from the flask, and she looked visibly flustered."It must've been exhausting to put up an act the whole time you were married to Lucian this year, wasn't it?" I asked icily as I closed in on her. "From a waitress all the way to director… the two of you really put on quite a show just to bleed me dry."Evelyn's expression shifted at my words before she finally dropped the act. A smirk curled at the corner of her lips.
