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
There was only one woman on the screen.Her eyes were swollen red from crying as she held up her ID card.Facing the camera, she spoke loudly.“Everyone. My name is Zoe Grant. 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
Two years after the divorce, with that professor’s careful guidance, I not only became an official student at the film academy, but also began directing several episodes of a highly popular anthology series.I became a somewhat well-known director in the overseas film and television industry.I created many internationally award-winning commercial short films.My name even appeared among the directing teams of several epic blockbuster productions.As my income improved dramatically, my entire life changed completely.During this time, I also adopted a puppy.It was a little creature that appeared out of nowhere.One morning, the moment I opened my door, I found it quietly curled up on the doormat outside.The security camera showed that it had walked there all by itself.It was as though it had a destination in mind, as if it had deliberately chosen to sleep outside my home.When I looked into its eyes, something warm and heavy settled in my chest.If I was not mistaken, thi
I became the internet’s new symbol of a scheming scumbag.Even the nurses who took care of me during my hospital stay treated me with obvious hostility.Every time they changed my IV needle, they used so much force.It was as though they would not be satisfied until they had completely destroyed my veins.After I was discharged, Claire immediately completed the divorce procedures with me, along with the money transfer and property transfer paperwork.After the $10 million arrived in my account, I quickly put our marital villa up for sale and converted it into another $20 million.Then, without delay, I repaid every cent I had borrowed from my relatives and friends.With a necklace made from Ellie’s ashes around my neck, and a reputation as a man everyone despised, I boarded a flight overseas.…Actually, before I became a talent manager, I had always had a pipe dream.I wanted to become a director.Unfortunately, my family was poor, and I could not afford to study filmmaking
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. Step by step, she staggered toward the offering table.Suddenly, her knees gave out, and she nearly collapsed.The fanboy supervisor and his fo
