I Woke Up and the Dream Was Over Chapter 9
Giselle followed me inside and handed me a cup of warm tea. She studied my face with concern. "Are you alright?"I took a sip of tea and shook my head. "I'm fine. A lot calmer than I expected."Yes. Calm.I used to think that facing them again would break me, that old feelings would come flooding back. But just now, I realized that my heart had long since died and gone still like a quiet lake. They could no longer stir even the smallest ripple in me.I thought that would be the end of it. But a few days later, another unwanted guest arrived. This time, it was my biological mother, Christine.She looked even worse than Jeremy. Her hair had turned mostly white, and her face was full of wrinkles, as though she had aged ten years overnight.With Giselle's help, she entered my study. The moment she saw me, tears spilled down her cheeks. She stepped forward, reaching to hug me. But I stepped to the side.Her hand froze awkwardly in midair. After a pause, she finally spoke, her voice t

The next day, Jeremy showed up at my embroidery shop with Robert.That afternoon, I was in the middle of a meeting with an important client. My floor manager rushed in frantically and leaned down to whisper in my ear, "Ms. Walter, there's a Mr. Scott outside who insists on seeing you. He brought a child with him."Every person in the meeting room turned to look at me. I kept my composure and smiled at the client. "Please excuse me for a moment."The moment I stepped out, I saw them standing in the main hall.A year had passed. Jeremy looked much thinner and worn out. The effortless confidence he used to carry was gone. Robert had grown taller. He hid behind Jeremy, eyes red.When Jeremy saw me, his eyes lit up instantly. He stepped forward, his voice trembling as he spoke. "Maisie, I… I finally found you."I didn't move and simply looked at him nonchalantly. "Mr. Scott, do you have business here? If not, please don't bother me while I'm working.""Maisie, don't be like this…" Hi

In the following days, I had my attorney formally file for divorce in court and submit all the evidence proving Jeremy's affair with Amber. At the same time, I petitioned for an equitable division of all marital assets under our names.The court summons landed on Jeremy's desk like a death sentence. He was already scrambling to contain the collapse of his business while facing citywide public condemnation. And now he was being dragged into court by me.He tried to contact me, only to discover that I was already in Kingstown, unreachable and silent. Left with no other choice, he instructed his lawyer to approach mine and propose a settlement.Through his attorney, he offered to give up nearly everything he owned, as long as I would withdraw the lawsuit and publicly clarify that everything had been a misunderstanding.I had my lawyer reply with a single sentence, "If he kneels on the busiest street in Bergdorf for three days and three nights, publicly apologizing to me, then perhaps

Amber's birthday party ended in a spectacular disgrace.The next morning, the dishonourable affairs of the Scott and Liddell families, along with the revelation that Amber had risen from mistress to wife, were the talk of the town. Word spread through the corners of every cafe and street corner.Jeremy's business took a hard hit, and many long-standing partners cut ties one after another. The Liddell family's business suffered a massive blow as well.Meanwhile, I sat by the sunlit window of Kingstown Embroidery, calmly sipping freshly brewed coffee as I read updates sent by Giselle's people from Bergdorf. Apparently, the banquet hall had been left in ruins after the guests left. Amber and Jeremy had erupted into a vicious argument."Jeremy! Why didn't you tell me that Maisie was pretending? Didn't you say everything was under control?" Amber screamed hysterically."How was I supposed to know she was faking it?" Jeremy roared back. He then lunged at her, grabbing her shoulders and

Amber's birthday arrived.Christine spared no expense, hosting a lavish party and inviting guests from far and wide. Jeremy was just as extravagant, nearly inviting every notable figure in Bergdorf.Amber wore a luxurious, starry gown worth a small fortune. She held Jeremy's arm as she accepted the guests' wishes. Christine stood beside them, smiling widely, looking every bit like a proud mother.The three of them looked like a perfect family, the envy of all. As for me, I had already boarded a ship heading toward Kingstown three days earlier. I had calculated the timing perfectly. When the birthday party reached its peak, when the host invited Jeremy onstage to make a toast, that was when my gift would arrive.I sent a single message to Giselle's contact in Bergdorf. "You may begin."At the banquet hall, Jeremy raised his glass and gazed at Amber with deep affection. "Amber, since we were young, you've been like a ray of sunshine, warming everyone around you—"Before he could

Amber cried out in pain, instantly drawing all of Jeremy's attention.He turned to me, his voice cold. "Are you satisfied now?"The entire household erupted into chaos as everyone rushed to support Amber, even urgently calling for a doctor. As they were leaving, Christine didn't forget to turn back and scream at me. "You cursed wretch!" I stood in place until my legs went numb before finally making my way to the maid's room. The exhaustion, both physical and emotional, crushed me completely. I collapsed onto the narrow single bed and fell into a deep sleep.I didn't know how much time passed before I was jolted awake by rough hands yanking me up.Jeremy's eyes were bloodshot as he dragged me off the bed. "Maisie! How can you be so vicious?"I wasn't even fully awake before his furious accusations came crashing down on me."You know Amber is weak now, and that she's allergic to almonds. Eating them could kill her. Yet, you deliberately had the pastry shop send her almond croissa
