Chapter 7

Author: Gigi
After that, I bid farewell to Margaret.

With my exceptional abilities and creative designs, I was recruited into an international game design company.

"Not bad, Lethia. Mr. Fletcher will definitely have you represent us in the upcoming International Game Design Competition! Be sure to do us proud!"

I nodded and smiled lightly at my executive director, who had offered me great encouragement.

When I entered the competition venue, my hands were sweating, and I kept encouraging myself internally.

Suddenly, a loud argument broke out in the distance. I looked over in confusion and felt a sudden shock rising in my chest.

"How many times do I have to tell you this, Marvin? If I see you with another woman again, I'll expose your deeds to the world!" Delilah cursed while glaring at Marvin, who was intimately close to a blonde woman.

I couldn't help but secretly laugh, for I had never seen her so enraged.

The next second, she turned and saw me. Her expression stiffened before she glared a

    Delilah collapsed to the ground, groaning as she held her tiny bump. "Marvin, our… our kid…"Her stuttering only added fuel to Marvin's fury.He landed a kick on her belly and snapped, "I don't have a bastard child! I was kind enough not to kill you off even after you cheated on me, so don't cross the line."The woman laughed coquettishly, leaning against his chest while gazing mockingly at the fallen Delilah.I shook my head and pulled Margaret into another direction, only to see Tristan running toward me with surprise.He was about to reach me, but Delilah suddenly grabbed his pant leg. "Tristan, please help me. The baby… could be yours…"Tristan frowned at her words, then shook his head and waved at me in denial. "It's not mine, I swear. You have to trust me, Tia."Out of panic, he delivered a few kicks toward her.The crowd gasped in shock, surrounding Delilah with pointed fingers. "B-Blood!"Tristan stood frozen in place. His face was pale, and he was at a loss as he look

    Tristan pressed his lips together, remaining silent as he followed Lawrence back home.They ran into Delilah standing at the doorstep, and she rushed toward Tristan to hug him. However, he furrowed his brows slightly and blocked her.Surprised, she instantly burst into tears. "Tristan, Marvin cheated on me and said he'll divorce me! He even wants me to leave with nothing! What should I do…"As she spoke, she fell into Tristan's embrace, only to be pulled away.She asked, "What's wrong with you? Lethia has already initiated the divorce. Aren't you glad? Isn't that what you all wanted, so you could be with me? Now that our wishes are fulfilled, you're backing out…"Before she could continue, a menacing Tristan choked her and harshly questioned, "How did you know Tia wanted a divorce? What have you done?"Delilah's breath grew heavy as she slapped the hand that had swollen with veins.Lawrence played a video on his phone, and Tristan's expression darkened as he listened to the fami

    "She went to Echofall Peak out of nowhere and disappeared after that!" Lawrence exclaimed.Tristan's body stiffened. The next second, he flung Delilah's hand away and rose to his feet in a panic."Tristan, what's wrong? You don't look so good." She pouted pitifully, tugging at his sleeve and refusing to let go."Tia is missing. I must find her." His breath hitched, and he turned his head, glaring at her with rage-filled, bloodshot eyes. "Why did she go to Echofall Peak? What have you said to her?"A hint of panic flashed across her eyes, but she shook her head and smiled. "Nothing! Just relax and enjoy the sunset with me."Even if Lethia found out, she would never leave you. In fact, she'll always come back to you. I bet she was just throwing a tantrum, trying to worry you by running away from home."Tristan grabbed Delilah's relentless hand, his gaze filled with hesitation. While his mind was in turmoil, he couldn't help but nod in agreement with her words.He believed he was t

    Delilah's lips curled into a smirk. After she finished speaking, she pulled my hand and swung it toward the easel. "Lethia, I didn't know these were all drawings of me! I swear nothing is going on between Tristan and me! Please don't be mad…"When Tristan heard the commotion, he instantly barged in and shoved me before holding Delilah in a tight embrace."Tristan, I'm fine. Don't be mad at Lethia. She didn't mean it.""You don't have to defend her anymore, Lila. I saw everything!"He gently carried her, approached me, and furiously screamed, "Have I spoiled you too much over the last three years, Lethia? How have you become such a vicious woman?"With that, he strode off and left the house with her.The large doors swung open, and the night wind howled, stinging my wounds. A car sped past. The fleeting glimpse of the lucky doll keychain numbed my heart to its lowest point.I got up, found the divorce agreement that had already been signed, and placed it in the study. After clear

    "Lethia, you know Tristan hates it the most when someone enters his study without permission. Shouldn't you better as his wife?" Delilah jeered.Delilah crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, mocking me with her sarcastic gaze.I simply glanced at her without refuting. As his wife, I was forbidden from entering his study, yet Delilah could freely do so.Tristan walked out of the study. He looked ready to say something, but then he noticed I was upset. Instantly, he came to my side and said, "I was harsh earlier. Here, I bought you supper. Come join us."As I looked at the bag of obvious leftovers, I furrowed my brows and snickered. "I don't want to eat anything that came out of nowhere."His expression shifted before he inched closer. "Lila queued for a long time just to get you this. Can you be less aggressive?"Anyway, she sprained her ankle today. It wouldn't be safe for her to be outside alone, so I took her in for the night. Don't be mad, okay?"I didn't want to say

    My phone rang with a text notification. It was from Delilah."Your husband is my greatest support," she texted.Attached was a photo of Tristan massaging her ankle and kissing the top of her foot.My nose tingled, and as I turned off the screen, my eyes caught the sight of Delilah's pale wrist. It was adorned with an emerald bracelet.This bracelet, unique and blessed, was something my mother had gone to great lengths to obtain—she spent three days and nights in deep reflection and devotion, hoping for my safety and happiness.I used to think I was loved, but then, I understood all my pain came from him.A bitter smile crept onto my lips, and my tears streamed down like a broken faucet.Tristan was my beacon of hope at the start of my miserable life three years ago. After our marriage, I gifted the emerald bracelet to him in hopes of blessing him with a smooth-sailing life.Yet, the bracelet disappeared in less than a week.When I confronted him, he smiled and explained that h

    The familiar voice sent a shiver down my spine.Lawrence Gray sighed softly and argued, "I just don't understand you. Mrs. Spencer treated you like her son, while Lethia gave you everything she had and helped you secure the power position of your family—simply out of love!"Yet you killed her mother behind her back. You even took her newborn and gave it to Delilah simply because Delilah was too cowardly to endure the pain of childbirth!"And now, you've even orchestrated eight car accidents so Delilah could inherit the fortune! Have you ever considered how Lethia would feel if she found out?"Tristan Wright fell into a brief silence before saying, "She won't find out. If she does, I'll just pay with my life."In frustration, he violently kicked a nearby plant and continued, "And I had to do what I did to her mother because she found out about the secret. For Lila, I'd do anything for her happiness."As for Lethia, though I'm filled with remorse, the most I can do is to spend the
