Chapter 8

Penulis: Foxy Piglet
After we walked out of the hotel, I could not fake a smile anymore.

“Mr. Sullivan, thank you,” I said softly.

I knew Jason could hold his liquor. He was just pretending to be drunk.

Jason walked quietly beside me. He stood straight and showed no sign of being drunk.

“Actually, I wasn’t lying.”

“Huh?” I looked at him.

Under the night sky, he seemed unusually calm.

It was unlike his usual playful self. He looked a little sad, like someone who did not belong in this world.

“I really liked you for ten years.”

That completely shocked me. I tried to remember someone named Jason Sullivan from my past, but nothing came to mind.

“I figured you wouldn’t remember. You were too busy making the club president drink, then you got yourself drunk, threw up all over me, and told me you’d marry me to make up for it. The next day, you forgot everything.”

Jason looked at me with a bitter expression, and suddenly, that awkward old memory came flooding back.

  • He Changed His Bride To His Crush   Chapter 11

    A few days later, I got a wedding invitation from Cyrus and Yara.Looking at the invitation, I smiled.That day, before Cyrus left, he apologized again. But honestly, I did not even know what he was apologizing for.Was it because he thought he did not need me at C&R Corp and started pushing me away?Or was it because he ruined my wedding just because of something Yara said?At that point, it did not matter to me.In fact, I wanted them to get married.I knew the Clarkson family was broke. They had no useful connections that could actually help Cyrus.But I needed them to be together, so I could enjoy taking them both down.On their wedding day, I made my move. I worked with my team and crashed C&R Corp’s stock completely.Every supplier and distributor canceled their orders.The company was destroyed.Cyrus ran to me in his wedding suit.“Why?!” he shouted.I watched him break down and smiled. “I asked you the same thing before. Do you remember what you said?“Cyrus,

    Cyrus came looking for me again three days later.After what happened, I blocked his number.My parents did not want to see him either.So, he had no choice but to wait for me outside my office.“That day really was just a mistake,” he said quickly.“Cyrus, how many times are you going to say that?” I asked and looked at Yara standing next to him.In just three days, she had taken my old job as his assistant.He opened his mouth but could not say anything.Ever since Yara came back, he had been making a lot of “mistakes.”“We’re not kids anymore. It’s over between us. Focus on your company instead.”I turned to leave, but Cyrus suddenly tried to grab me.Before he could, someone stopped him.Jason stepped in, pulled me close, and said, “Mr. Lloyd, seriously? Trying to steal someone right outside my company?“Maybe you should focus on holding your assistant’s hand instead of harassing my girlfriend.”He said it loud and clear.Cyrus’s face turned pale.I leaned over and

    I could not resist the temptation and ended up going back to Jason’s villa with him.He was not lying. He really did have a lot of information on Yara.Like I had guessed, Yara did not go abroad just for medical treatment. She left to get away from the Lloyd family.Later, she married a rich businessman. But when he was bankrupt, she took the rest of his fortune and returned to the country.She also lied about being seriously ill.In reality, she was not sick at all. She made up the whole story.When she saw Cyrus rebuilding his family business, she came back to try to win him back again. She knew that he had not moved on.During her time abroad, she did a lot of questionable things. One of them alone could destroy her if anyone found out.After reading everything, I leaned back in my chair and thought about my plan.“Ruby.”I heard Jason’s voice.I turned around. The door was slightly open.He was standing there like a sad puppy and peering in.“Ruby, I’ve been thinking.

    Yara was faking it. I knew it, and so did Cyrus.But he still wanted to go. He would never learn to stay away from Yara. From the beginning, we were a mistake.Cyrus quickly apologized to my parents and left in a rush. I was left to face them alone.I sat in the chair, and my eyes welled with tears.“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry.”I thought I was done making them worry about me, but I still did.The room was quiet. No one spoke because we did not want to make each other uncomfortable.Then, the door suddenly opened.“Cyrus, you—” My mom started to stand up.But it was not Cyrus. It was Jason. He smiled brightly.“Mr. Jagger, Mrs. Jagger, hello! I was planning to visit you, but I didn’t expect to see you here.”Jason closed the door and walked in. His smile was polite and friendly.“Ruby, haven’t you told your parents yet?”When I saw Jason wink at me, I was confused.What was he talking about?“Mr. Jagger, Mrs. Jagger, I’m Jason Sullivan, Ruby’s boyfriend. We’ve been dati

  • He Changed His Bride To His Crush   Chapter 6

    Cyrus was about to say something, but Jason walked over and stood between us. His usually playful eyes were icy.“Mr. Lloyd, bothering my employee isn’t exactly professional. Or… is it that you realize C&R can’t run without Ruby and are trying to get her back?”His familiar tone made me slightly uncomfortable.Cyrus’s face changed.He looked at both of us but did not say a word. Then, he turned and walked away.For the rest of the event, Jason stayed by my side.Cyrus, on the other hand, acted like he was handing me business on purpose. He gave all the potential deals to me instead of keeping them for himself.His eyes looked sad every time he passed me by.He knew I always went weak at that look.But he had locked the old me, who cared for him, in the dressing room.After the event, I felt frustrated.In the car, Jason closed the door, leaned on one hand, and sighed.“Ms. Jagger, I’m not as good at pretending to be sad as some people. What should I do?”I looked up and sa
