Childhood Sweethearts

Animal Protagonist

Dual Rebirth

Face Slapping

Plot Twists

My boyfriend came from a wealthy family. We had been together for seven years, yet he had never given me a single gift. When he proposed, he even asked for the diamond ring back so he could return it for a refund. Later, when we were about to register our marriage, he complained that the paperwork fee was too expensive and said it wasn’t necessary. However, not long after that, he registered his marriage with his childhood sweetheart instead. He even booked the most luxurious hotel in the entire city, eager to throw a grand engagement party. The shock was too much for my grandmother, and she suffered a heart attack. I dropped to my knees and begged my boyfriend to return the salary I had entrusted to him over the years, as I needed the money to pay for my grandmother’s surgery. He simply wrapped his arm around his childhood sweetheart and pretended not to know me. He said he would never help a lazy beggar who only knew how to freeload. Then, he ordered the security guards to throw me out. Later, my grandmother died on New Year’s Eve, her final breaths drowned out by the sound of fireworks outside. While everyone else celebrated the holiday season, I handled my grandmother’s funeral alone. At the same time, I accepted a job offer from a major overseas company. When I returned home to get my passport, the man—who had just finished introducing his sweetheart to his parents and was clearly in a good mood—saw me and assumed I was still throwing a tantrum. For the first time, he spoke generously. “Alright. What could possibly have happened to your grandmother? At worst, I’ll make it up to you with a luxurious wedding.” What he didn’t know was that from the moment my grandmother took her last breath, I no longer wanted to marry him.

Chapter 1

I had just picked up my passport when a long, well-defined hand suddenly snatched it out of my grasp.

“What are you looking for that you didn’t even notice I came back?”

My boyfriend, Hudson Chase, had just returned home. The tip of his nose was red from the cold. When he realized it was a passport, the faint smile on his lips disappeared, and his sharp brows knitted together.

“What do you need a passport for? Are you planning to run off overseas?” he said. “Haven’t I explained it to you? Lara’s family has been pressuring her. Registering the marriage with her was just to help her deal with them. After a while, we’ll quietly get divorced.”

I didn’t even look up. Keeping a cold expression, I snatched the passport back.

He rubbed his chilled fingertips together. In the past, whenever he came home, I would always ask if he was cold and pour him a cup of hot tea. Today, though, I was unusually distant.

He reached out and cupped my face. The coldness of his hands brushed against my skin as he forced me to look at him.

“Sophie, aren’t you being a little too jealous?” he said. “Think about how many people from high society were watching that day. If word got back to my dad, neither of us would come out of it well.”

I let out a self-mocking laugh. To him, I was nothing more than a pastime he couldn’t publicly acknowledge.

I pried his hand away, but he clung to me again. His icy fingers lifted my chin as he carefully examined the small scratch on my cheek, his voice full of concern.

“Do those bodyguards have a death wish? They turned my Soph into a little stray cat. I’ll dock all their pay later.”

Here it was again. In the past, no matter how angry I was, I would eventually forgive him after he pestered me, but not this time.

Seven days ago, at the engagement party, the bodyguards—under Hudson’s orders—had thrown me out of the hotel and shoved me to the ground.

“Who do you think you are?” one of them sneered. “Mr. Hudson and Ms. Lara are a perfect match. I’ve seen plenty of gold diggers like you.”

People passing by pointed and mocked me. They laughed at how someone perfectly capable of working had instead knelt in front of a man, begging for money. I had long since lost all my dignity.

When I snapped back to the present, Hudson, seeing that I was still upset, finally brought out his trump card. He carried over a box of caviar from the doorway.

“These are for your grandma,” he said. “And don’t use that story about her needing surgery to trick me again just to get my attention. It’s not interesting.”

My grandma and I had depended on each other for years. She had said she wanted to witness the day Hudson and I registered our marriage so she could give us her blessings. However, when she saw Hudson registering his marriage with another woman, she collapsed on the spot.

The doctor told me that as long as I could come up with a hundred thousand dollars for the surgery, my grandma would still have a chance to live.

Chapter 2
On New Year’s Eve, I humbled myself and called everyone I could think of, begging to get a loan. However, every call ended with them either rejecting the call outright or scolding me for bringing bad luck during the holiday. Amid the endless sound of the fireworks, my grandma closed her eyes, and just like that, I was the only one left.At the thought of her pale face, my heart felt like it was being sliced apart. My eyes reddened instantly.I didn’t take the box of caviar he had brought. Instead, I said, “Hudson, we–”I wanted to call for a break-up, but before those words could leave my mouth, Hudson cut me off.“Alright, enough. You spent the New Year with your grandma. You probably don’t have much money left, don’t you?”With a flick of his finger, he transferred me two hundred dollars.“Take this as the money I spent buying caviar for your grandma. No need to write an IOU.”Thinking about it, I found it rather amusing. He was afraid I was a gold digger, so he made me hand o

“She usually comes across as rather stuck-up, acting all high and mighty just because she's been with Mr. Hudson for seven years, but she's more obsequious when demanding money than my dog is when begging for food. Serves her right!”I ignored the mockery and walked into the HR office, my expression the same.The HR manager smirked and said, “Your application has been submitted. Once Mr. Hudson approves it, you can pack up and leave. In your situation, the company won’t be giving you any compensation.”I nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave the company.The sun was setting, and the streets were full of couples or families of three. I, on the other hand, was alone. Loneliness weighed on my chest. The only family I had left, the career I had fought for all these years, and the man I loved… all of them were gone.As I walked along the road I had taken for seven years, the road between my home and the company, memories began to flood my mind. My parents died in a car accident whe

The tip of the ears of that usually arrogant man suddenly turned red. Lara naturally slipped her arm through his and smiled sweetly.The crowd immediately began to cheer.“Come on, the mood is perfect now! Why don’t you two kiss?”Hudson froze for a moment, and Lara quickly tried to smooth things over.“Let’s not take things too far. Hudson here is a little shy–”Before she could finish speaking, Hudson suddenly cupped her face and lowered his head, giving her a deep, affectionate kiss. It was brief—just a touch before they parted.Hudson hadn’t even closed his eyes. He stared at Lara the entire time, trying to carve that moment into his memories. He looked so happy and content, as if that one kiss alone was enough for him.The next second, worried that Lara might misunderstand, his ears flushed red. He forced himself to sound calm.“I… I lost my balance.” Before Lara could say anything, he hurriedly added, “It’s late. We should head home. If I’m any later, my dad will start ta

I said calmly, “You don’t have to look for it. You already took that ring back. You refunded it for ten thousand dollars, then used the money to buy Lara a hair tie as a gift.”When I said it out loud, the irony suddenly felt unbearable.We had dated for seven years, yet I had never received anything from him. Meanwhile, the gifts I saved up to buy for him were considered cheap in his eyes, and he had sold them all secondhand.As for the only diamond ring he ever gave me, it was taken back right after the proposal. He said there was no need to waste money on unnecessary extravagance and that it would be better to save it for the wedding.Shocked, Hudson looked around the apartment as he stubbornly tried to argue. “Well, even if there’s no ring, what about everything else you bought for me… and everything else I bought for you…”Before he could finish his sentence, his expression turned awkward and ugly. It was because he suddenly realized that in this entire apartment, there wasn’

“I don’t want to play this game anymore.”I picked up the bank card from the floor, stood up, and grabbed my suitcase. Then, I stepped right over the IOU slips scattered across the ground—the last things that proved there had ever been any connection between Hudson and me.For a moment, Hudson looked stunned. When he saw my hand resting on the doorknob, he snapped out of it and quickly stepped forward to stop me.“Soph, don’t be mad. Couples argue all the time. I just didn’t think before I spoke…”I twisted the handle, opened the door, and walked out, never looking back.At the hotel front desk, I took out my bank card to pay, but the receptionist informed me that my balance was insufficient. Embarrassed, I apologized and then used the twenty thousand dollars the overseas company had sent me as a travel allowance to cover the bill.After tossing my luggage into the hotel room, I checked my bank account history. That was when I realized the money in my card had been gone for a lon

“Soph, don’t act impulsively. Just wait for me. After work, we’ll sit down and talk, okay?”At that moment, Lara burst in, saying, “Hudson, your dad just called. He said he needs to talk to you. You should take the call.”Hudson immediately turned around and hurried off, looking almost as if he were fleeing the scene. I shook my head and was about to leave when Lara suddenly stretched out her leg and blocked my path.“Sophie, clear out your office now. I’m moving in.”The Vice President’s office and a department manager’s office weren’t even the same thing, so I knew she was deliberately kicking me out. However, it didn’t matter anymore. I was leaving anyway. There were things I needed to take with me.I had just finished packing up my belongings when someone knocked on the office door. When I opened it, an employee from an auction house stood there, holding an exquisite gift box, smiling obsequiously.“You must be Mr. Hudson’s partner. This is the bracelet Mr. Hudson purchased f

“Take it off.”Those words left everyone present stunned. Not a single sound escaped the room. All eyes flicked back and forth between me, Hudson, and Lara.No one could have imagined that Hudson would request his own wife to remove her bracelet at a moment like this. It was, without a doubt, a slap in Lara’s face. Even I couldn’t help but glance at Hudson. His expression was serious and completely sincere, so it was not an act. That left me puzzled.Lara, who had been wearing a faint smile moments ago, now looked pale and furious. She shot me a venomous glance that was almost imperceptible. However, under Hudson’s sharp gaze, she had no choice but to lift the hand adorned with the bracelet. Her other hand hovered over the chain, rubbing it nervously.Seeing her hesitate, Hudson’s expression remained impassive as he repeated, “Take off the bracelet and return it to Sophie.”The word return made everyone’s jaws drop.Had Lara misled them all? Had they misunderstood me?This time,

At those words, everyone in the room went even paler. After all, in their minds, I had always been the shameless woman clinging to Hudson, a relentless nuisance.I let out a sarcastic laugh. “Mr. Hudson, quit joking. The one you registered your marriage with is Ms. Lara. How do you expect her to feel with you saying that?”Lara’s face looked awful by then, and strangely, I felt a rush of satisfaction. Before this, it had always been me watching Lara flaunt herself in front of me, filling me with indignation. Now, finally, she was tasting a bit of that same humiliation.Hudson’s expression also soured, but he forced a smile. “Sophie, even if you leave me, where will you go? You’re over thirty years old. What company would hire you? Or… have you found another man?”I glanced at the office clock. With all that commotion, it was already eleven. If this argument dragged on, I’d miss my flight. So, I laid down my final ultimatum.“Mr. Hudson, I originally wanted a clean break, but if yo

His chest heaved as he waited for them to move on. Then, finally, he called out to me. “Hey, young lady, come over here. It won’t take more than a few minutes.”Since my resignation had been finalized, and I didn’t feel like defying him, I followed him into the conference room. Hudson and Lara came in behind me.Hudson’s face lit up with anticipation. “Dad, are you… Uh–”However, before he could finish, Graham kicked him squarely in the knee. Hudson collapsed to the floor immediately. I heard a sharp thud. Hudson clutched his knee, his face drained of color, cold sweat pouring down, but he didn’t dare utter a word of protest.Graham, meanwhile, berated him, “Hudson, have you gone mad? Not long ago, you cried and begged me, threatening to take your own life, just so that Lara would return to marry you! Now that she’s married to you, as you wished, you’re involved with someone else? You’re playing both sides!”He shoved Hudson slightly and continued, “Apologize to Lara and promise n
