Chapter 7

Author: Fermented Pineapple
But as soon as Justin got back to the villa, all he saw was a pile of smoking ruins. He stumbled out of his car with the intention of rushing into the ruins, only to be stopped by the butler and the bodyguards.

"It's dangerous, Mr. Oaks!"

Justin's eyes reddened instantly. "What happened? Where's my wife? Has she come out yet?"

The poor butler was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh. "I called you last night because I wanted to bring this matter up to you, Mr. Oaks! The fire was starte

  • Married in Secret, Rejected in Public   Chapter 17

    It turned out that Lynette didn't choose to leave Justin on a whim. After getting rejected and hurt countless times, the disappointment and grievance she felt could no longer fuel the love she once had for him. In the end, she chose to walk away with nothing but a broken heart.Yet, Justin had resorted to despicable means to rob her of even the right to love herself.The laptop's screen had already gone dark by then. He closed the lid before turning to look out the window.It was drizzling at the moment. That was Lynette's favorite weather.Justin remembered that Lynette loved lounging on the couch with him while watching immature soap operas during light rainy days. In the past, he found it boring and annoying. Now, that memory became a dream that would never come true in this lifetime.Some time later, Justin carefully took out the wedding ring that was supposed to be Lynette's. He gently caressed every inch of the ring, hoping to pick up on her old scent that used to linger o

    Lynette didn't bother explaining or rebuking the comments on the Internet. She just posted an audio recording on her account and tagged Justin in it.It was their first interaction after Justin's livestream went viral, so the entire Internet instantly shifted their focus to the post. Of course, this included Justin.Everyone who paid attention to this incident played the recording simultaneously. Lynette's eager voice drifted into their ears soon enough."Today is May 3rd. I hope I can succeed in my challenge."Next, Lynette's soft and sweet voice rang out. "Justin, I really can't stand the sight of you being all lovey-dovey with another woman while I'm forced to stay at home all by myself and wait for your return every day. Can you please announce our relationship to the public? I won't regret it even if I get cyberbullied in the end!"Justin responded calmly, "Lynn, I told you before that now is not the time. You don't have to probe me for my reaction, you know. If you can't end

    Over the following days, Justin never gave up in pursuing Lynette despite her avoidance of him.When the bouquet he had painstakingly chosen was brought into her office, she was quick to instruct someone else to throw it into the lobby's trash can right in front of him.Justin went to great lengths to whip up a lunchbox for Lynette. After managing to deliver it to her desk, he could only watch as she gave it away to a janitor out in the streets.Even when he personally crafted another ring and gave it to her, she didn't hesitate to chuck it into a storm drain.Despite everything, Justin had yet to give up on Lynette.When she headed off to work, he'd drop breakfast off on her desk. After she got off work, he'd wait outside her residential area just so he could see her again.During this period, Justin devoted all of his energy to wooing Lynette. He didn't even bother showing up at Oaks Group for work.Poor Lynette was physically and emotionally drained because of Justin's consta

    "Lynn, I know that you're still mad at me about what happened in the past. That's why you refuse to go home with me out of spite!"Justin started his explanation. "But the thing is, Lynn, the reason why I chose not to announce our relationship was all for the sake of my career! I did this because I wanted to provide you with a better life!"Now, I know that I'm wrong for doing that. I shouldn't have screwed up my priorities and put my faith in Christina. I shouldn't have remained oblivious to how she kept hurting you behind my back."Endless sorrow and pleading filled Justin's eyes. "Lynn, we've been together for ten years. Don't you know how much I love you? I got blindsided by my overwhelming love for you that I ended up doing those idiotic things!"Lynette just gazed at Justin coolly. "Spare me the self-righteous speech, Justin."She didn't expect that she could still maintain her composure when she met Justin after so long.Then again, he had personally shattered her heart. W

    Justin's overwhelming need to see Lynette made him extraordinarily excited. Hence, he didn't notice the look of contempt the receptionist had been casting at him.When he finally took a seat in the lounge area, he overheard a few employees' conversation."Don't tell me he's here to ask Ms. Colt to remarry him!""That's most likely the case. Seriously, that man knows no shame! To think that he actually has the balls to come to our company just to plead with Ms. Colt to get back with him!""I'm just worried that Ms. Colt might agree to his request out of pity…""Honestly, it's really hard to tell. They were together for ten years, after all. Ten long years!""Please don't let it happen! Ms. Colt is so pretty, not to mention she's super capable! I heard that as soon as she joined the company, she was able to close several lucrative deals all by herself! Outstanding women like her should be paired with amazing men like Mr. Hanks!""Wait, you ship them too? Not gonna lie, Ms. Colt an

    At that moment, Fabian Hanks, who had been silently observing the press conference from the shadows, strode over to the reporters. Immediately, he stood in front of Lynette, making sure to shield her from the reporters as her protector.Although his tone was still casual, it brooked no argument. "Everyone, I know a thing or two about the scandals that erupted a month ago. There's no need to worry, though. I personally guarantee that the designer Hanks Group has brought on board is a dark horse in the design industry. "She has limitless potential, and she's a priceless asset to the company. If anything, she isn't the one who plagiarized, unlike what you have been claiming. Everyone, please exercise patience and listen to what Ms. Colt has to say."Sure enough, everyone fell silent right after hearing Fabian's speech.Lynette shot him a grateful look before picking up her microphone again."Regarding the rumors that have been flying around some time ago, I suppose I'm the one who
