Chapter 4

Author: Nameless
“It’s him! It’s definitely him! I was camping outside yesterday taking street photos. I saw everything clearly!”

“Oh my, he’s disgusting! Yesterday he kept going on and on about his daughter being sick and all that nonsense, and he actually set up a funeral altar here today!”

“Seriously?! Claire and Xavier are so unlucky to get dragged into this kind of lunatic’s mess! Why doesn’t he just die?!”

A group of Claire and Xavier fanboys openly discussed me without the slightest hesitation.

Their voices were so loud that I could not ignore them.

I turned around, frowned, and said, “This is my daughter’s funeral. Please leave!”

The fanboy leading the group was wearing a hotel supervisor’s uniform.

He arrogantly stepped forward and slapped me across the face.

“You piece of trash! Who do you think you are?

“I’ve been Claire’s loyal fan for ten years. I work at this hotel just so I can have more chances to serve her.

“I’ve seen plenty of shameless delusional men like you!”

“The moment you see a successful woman, you start imagining she belongs to you. Then you even dream of forcing her to have children with you. You’re even more disgusting than those people who ruin other people’s families!”

“Exactly! Does someone like you actually think you’re worthy of Claire?” Another male fan, thin and skinny-looking, crossed his arms and sneered.

“Let me tell you something. In the hearts of all us fans, the only man we acknowledge is Xavier!”

Someone in the crowd shouted, “Stop wasting time talking to him! Let’s teach him a lesson today, so he never dares to show his face and disturb Claire and Xavier again!”

Immediately, everyone responded.

They worked together with frightening coordination.

One group rushed over to destroy the funeral decorations.

The flowers I had carefully chosen, the balloons, and the rosary beads were thrown onto the ground one by one.

Another group held me down tightly.

They forced my eyes open the entire time, making me watch even as I desperately screamed and explained through my pain.

“Stop! Please stop! I’m Claire’s husband! Her legal husband! I have photos of our marriage certificate on my phone!

“This child really was her daughter! Please, don’t destroy this! Stop!”

“Marriage certificate? Why don’t you just say you have a wedding video too? That’s hilarious. Do you think your two edited clips can fool anyone?”

The thin fanboy slapped me hard across the face.

“I’ll admit, you really put on a convincing act. This bastard even went so far as to make fake ashes?”

Another person picked up the pink urn from the offering table and shook it beside his ear.

My eyes widened in horror.

I shook my head desperately.

“No, please! I’m begging you! Don’t touch my daughter!”

“Your daughter?” The man looked at me with contempt. “Isn’t it just powdered milk mixed with bamboo charcoal? Why are you still pretending?”

Then, he raised the urn high above his head and smashed it onto the floor.

The scattered ashes flew into the air, blinding my eyes.

A father’s love gave me strength I had never known before.

I broke free from everyone holding me down.

Ignoring the wound on my back that was still bleeding, I crawled desperately toward my daughter’s ashes scattered across the floor.

“Ellie, Ellie, don’t be scared. Daddy will take you away from here. We won’t stay here anymore.

“Never again…”

A fangirl also wearing a hotel supervisor uniform saw this.

A cruel, bloodthirsty light flashed in her eyes like a wild beast.

“You disgusting liar! You’re still pretending?! Fine. Today, I’ll make sure you finish this little act!”

As she spoke, she grabbed the ashes scattered across the floor and moved to force them into my mouth.

Amidst the chaos, I closed my eyes in despair.

However, I heard Claire’s heartbreaking scream from outside the banquet hall.

“Stop!”

  • After Our Daughter Died, I Left My Actress Wife   Chapter 10

    As I stood in the empty banquet hall, I listened to Claire’s almost hysterical words.All I felt was the absurd urge to laugh. There were no other emotions left in me.After Claire finally finished venting, I calmly pulled my arm out of her grasp.I looked at her with complete detachment and replied, “Are you sure everyone who hurt me has paid the price?“I don’t think so. After all, aren’t you still standing here, talking to me as if nothing happened?“Were those people truly cruel to me because they were born evil?“Or was it because all you ever showed in front of every one of them was how much you hated me?“If you had shown them that you truly loved me, even if Xavier had loved you more than anything, he never would have had a chance to get close to you.“You were the one who threw me away like garbage and left me alone at home after getting what you wanted from me. You were the one who refused to let anyone know I existed.“Don’t blame others for the things you personall

I am Mr. Xavier’s cousin. I previously worked as the finance supervisor at Crystal Wave Entertainment. “During my time there, Mr. Xavier repeatedly instructed me to withhold Gideon Spencer’s expense requests and alter the reasons for his applications. “He did this to make Miss Claire misunderstand Mr. Spencer and cause the breakdown of their marriage. I’d like to sincerely apologize to Mr. Gideon today! Please forgive me!”Xavier grabbed Claire’s shoulders and shook her desperately, trying to save himself. “Claire, listen to me! Let me explain! It’s not like that! She must have taken money from Gideon to frame me! Claire, you have to believe me!Claire pushed him away. “You were the one who told me to take away all of Gideon’s money in the first place. You said that if I did, he would only become more de

  • After Our Daughter Died, I Left My Actress Wife   Chapter 6

    I stared up at the white ceiling of the hospital room.My mind could not focus at all.Whether it was Claire’s accusations or her words of comfort, everything sounded the same to me, like a power drill endlessly roaring inside my head.I interrupted her without warning.“Let’s get a divorce.”“Gideon, did you even understand what I just said? I just told you I don’t blame you!”Her frown looked so ugly.She was nothing like the bright and cheerful girl I remembered from the past.That arrogant, self-righteous expression extinguished the final trace of expectation I held for her.I turned to look at her.My voice was colder than it had ever been.“Back at Ellie’s funeral, you lost control and attacked several of your most loyal fans. If they post about what happened on any social media platform and the situation blows up, your career will be completely ruined.“If you agree to divorce, I’ll cooperate with you.“I’ll announce publicly that I obtained your eggs through illega

    The entire room fell deathly silent.The fanboy supervisor turned around, stunned for a moment.He hurriedly brushed the ashes from his hands.“Miss Lane, what brings you here? Do you have another event you’d like us to host?”Claire’s face had gone ashen.Her eyes fell on the wreckage scattered across the floor and the shattered portrait on the offering table.In the photograph, the little girl was smiling innocently, clutching a tiny duck plushie in her hands.It was one of the few gifts Claire had ever brought home for Ellie.Of all her toys, Ellie loved that little duck the most.Perhaps it was because of the bond between mother and daughter.She carried it everywhere, refusing to let it out of her hands.During her teething phase, she would grab it, chew on it, and gnaw at it every single day.Claire stared at the photograph.
