On Valentine's Day, Lily Compton's youngest uncle, Cecil Compton, makes a grand show of putting a no-limit bid on Lily's first night at the auction. "Lily, we've been childhood friends since young! I must be the first man to pop your cherry!" I let out a scoff before taking off my engagement ring and throwing it at Lily's face. "Our engagement ceremony will be taking place soon. Your behavior reflects both our families' reputations." Cecil glares at me maliciously. "Lily, you and Jerry have yet to get engaged, and yet here he is, already setting up rules for you! Things will definitely get worse for you if you do end up marrying him!" Lily's gaze turns glacial as she lets out a cold huff. "This is just a marriage alliance. Is my virginity really that important, in any case? Besides, Cecil has already dumped his money on the bid. I can't just let him walk away with nothing, can I?" As I coldly watch the shameless pair walk into a washroom, I dial a number. "Since Lily treats our marriage like child's play, then I suppose there's absolutely no reason for the Comptons to continue existing in this world."

Jerry's POVLily's expression froze. She stood rooted to the spot, her eyes filled with intense disbelief."But I truly know I was wrong. Did all those years together mean nothing to you?"I waved my hand dismissively and said impatiently, "Oh, so now the years we spent together matter to you? Why didn't you think of them when you were cheating on me? And now you turn around and point fingers at me?"Besides, you've never shown any real remorse from the beginning. Even right now, you don't actually think you did anything wrong. Rather, you've just realized your family is about to lose everything because of your reckless, despicable behavior!"With that, I paid her no further attention. I glanced at my watch and then summoned security to escort Lily out.As I watched her struggle and thrash while being dragged away, all I felt was bitter irony.Everyone knew how well I used to treat her. Had she even so much as condemned Cecil's actions a little, I would have settled the matter f

Third-Person POVLily finally realized then that the only reason Jerry had ever put her on a pedestal, surrounded and adored by all, was because she had been his fiancee. Apart from that title, she was nothing. Jerry used to guard her ego like it was priceless. Now any of his junior assistants could trample all over it.In that moment, it finally dawned on her that Jerry had really dumped her for good.The moment this hit her, a surge of fury and distress overwhelmed her. And with one choked breath, she collapsed and fainted on the spot.But no matter how much Hugh wailed and wept, there was no way Jerry would ever turn back for a woman who had soiled herself.When Lily came to, Hugh immediately delivered another ringing slap across her face.Then, he jabbed his finger at her face and roared, "Because of your affair with your own uncle, not only have we become the laughingstock of all Starworth, but our entire family has been utterly destroyed. Are you satisfied now?"I always k

Third-Person POV"You're right, Cecil. What can Jerry actually do to us? All of this is just empty threats. Given our family's vast and established empire, I really don't think he can touch us."Since he had the gall to treat us like this, then I certainly don't mind going down fighting and taking him out with me. He wants to go to war? He can bring it on!"At that thought, Lily's gaze hardened.What Lily never could have imagined, however, was that bankrupting Compton Group was merely the appetizer Jerry had prepared.The very next morning, Compton Group was once again trending in the news.The company was raided by the authorities due to involvement in illegal activities dating back years, and a considerable amount of illicit goods was even found on the premises.Now, with irrefutable evidence, Lily's family had truly plunged into an abyss of utter ruin. Because the sums involved were massive and the negative impact severe, the fallout rippled instantly through other industrie

Jerry's POVI had already given Lily her chance. If I were to show her mercy now, it would be nothing short of willful blindness to everything she had done to me.After arranging the next steps, I noticed I had received dozens of missed calls. Even the WhatsApp chat we hadn't used in ages was now flooded with Lily's demands and accusations."Jerry, what exactly is the meaning of this? You'd better explain yourself clearly and honestly!" "Do you really think my family has no influence of its own after all these years? I refuse to believe that a nepo baby like you who knows nothing but squandering money can lay a finger on my family!"I couldn't help but let out a contemptuous laugh when I saw Lily's messages.A nepo baby? She really had a knack for jokes.When she was still my fiancee, it was one thing for her to say things unbecoming of her position. But now that our engagement had been called off, wasn't she being a little naive to think she could still treat me like this?Wi

Jerry's POVThe screech of brakes sounded in the distance, and Lily hurriedly got out of the car."Cecil, are you okay?"She threw herself at Cecil and carefully examined him from head to toe, only breathing a sigh of relief when she confirmed he had nothing more than a few scrapes.When she tur

Jerry's POVI caught the threat in Lily's eyes, laid bare without any attempt to disguise it, and it hit me as almost laughable.This was the woman I put on a pedestal for three years. And yet, for her rotten excuse of an uncle, she had the nerve to say something like this to me.Those rose-tinte

Jerry's POVThe next instant, Lily struck me hard across the face."Jerry, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you really going to kick up a fuss over something so trivial? Have I been too lenient with you? If anything happens to Cecil, I'm going to make you pay!"I looked at the undisguised r

Jerry's POVWhen Lily returned to the private room with her clothes disheveled, I had just hung up the phone. I stared at her expressionlessly. The hickeys on her neck stood out starkly against the fabric of her evening gown.After sitting down unsteadily, she glanced listlessly at the things I ha
