LOGINDuring college, while we were dating, Elias Longheart would bring me breakfast every day. There would be two portions—one for me, and one for my dormmate, Winnie Romger. For me? It was always the same—buns and oatmeal. For her? It was always different—a meal that was nutritionally balanced with meat and vegetables. Even on my birthday, he gave out gifts in pairs. For me, it was just four simple greeting cards. For her, it was concert tickets, a handmade crystal collage photo frame, a dreamy white dress, and a promise ring. … It wasn't until our graduation trip, when the three of us arrived at the train station, that everything became clear. The two of them passed through with no issue after scanning their IDs—but I was stopped at the gate. Elias slapped his forehead in frustration, giving an awkward, apologetic smile. "I was so focused on booking Winnie's ticket that I forgot yours. Look, we've already passed through. Don't waste the money—next time, I'll take you on a proper trip. It'd be just the two of us." Winnie patted her chest and assured me confidently, "Don't worry, girl. I'll keep an eye on him for you." Watching the two of them walk away side by side, laughing and chatting, I let out a bitter smile. I didn't want to keep lying to myself anymore. I turned and bought a ticket home. "Dad? That requirement for me to marry after graduation? I'll agree to it. As for that internship candidate you suggested—Elias Longheart? Cancel it."

I came right after you once I found out you came to Emerald Rise alone."By coming here, does that mean you still haven't gotten over me?"Looking at Elias' expectant expression, I suddenly remembered something.Back in college, even though I was the Whites' heiress, I never spent money recklessly and even took part-time jobs at times.There was a sense of pride in earning money with my own hands.We once made a promise—to take a romantic trip to Emerald Rise together.When he suggested bringing Winnie along, I didn't object.Now that I think about it, that was probably his way of trying to have it both ways. And only now did I understand where this strange discomfort over the past few days had been coming from.I let out a cold laugh. "You're overthinking it. I just didn't want the itinerary I made to go to waste. We're no longer a couple. Keep following me, and I'll call the police."I t
"Shut up!" Elias' face burned as he slapped Winnie hard. "You're nothing but a cheap liar. You're just a nanny's daughter, yet you wore better clothes and lived better than Amy—that's why I was fooled by you!"I was just playing around with you. "The only person I've ever loved is Amy."Looking at the expensive clothes Winnie was wearing, I let out a quiet, bitter laugh.From childhood, I had treated her like my own sister. To keep her from feeling inferior, I always gave her the best of everything.In the end, it all became the very tool she used to betray me.My father's brows knitted tighter and tighter, his gaze cold as ice as it swept over the two of them. "One is the so-called best friend my daughter treated with genuine sincerity," he said slowly, "and the other is the boyfriend she begged me to give a job to. Yet, you both had the nerve to mistreat my daughter for four years?"He turned to the housekeeper beside him. "Mrs. Romger failed to properly raise her daughter. R
Winnie had never seen me treat her so coldly before. In an instant, she went weak and collapsed onto the ground.Only then did Elias finally understand everything. He stared at her in disbelief, muttering under his breath over and over again. "You lied to me? You actually lied to me?!"Then, he suddenly turned to me, panic flooding his voice as he rushed to explain. "Amy, she deceived me. Said she could get me an internship in White Group if I stayed with her."You know people like us without backgrounds basically have no future after graduation—I just wanted a better start to give you a better life…"Looking at how pathetic he looked now, there was none of the confidence he once carried on campus.I still remembered the first time I met him—those eyes that seemed to shine like stars.…"Are you always this clueless? That's kind of cute.""Hi, I'm Elias Longheart. Student council president."My heart had raced instantly, my face flushing red.How could I not know him?I alwa
After I was hospitalized, Timothy notified my father, who was away handling a business deal.He carefully applied medicine to my wounds. "You're not the one at fault for trusting the wrong person for four years," he said quietly. "It's the deepest regret—finding out the truth about someone only after marriage."Later, he even went out to buy breakfast for me, consisting of meat and vegetables, which was nutritionally balanced."I grabbed something random," he explained. "Have a bite."'So, breakfast isn't buns and oatmeal,' I thought. Then, I turned my face away, sniffing hard to keep my tears back. "Thank you."…With Timothy taking care of me, I recovered quickly.When I stepped back into the house, I saw Mrs. Romger and a group of servants kneeling in a row, visibly trembling.At the very front were Winnie and Elias.My father sat at the head of the room, motioning for a new servant to help me sit down beside him. "Amy," he said calmly, "I know you're naturally kind-hearted,
