Chapter 2

She sounded really confident, and her eyes glinted.

I knew why she was this confident. After all, I had endured everything to take care of her for seven years.

Everyone knew that I loved her a lot.

However, she did not know that the moment I found out I had been lied to for seven years, I had contacted a certain person.

“Gwen, you lied to me for seven years. Was it fun for you?”

Gwen lost her patience.

She frowned impatiently and said angrily, “Zac, enough!

“I’ve apologized to you. What more do you want me to do?

“It’s such a small matter. Do you have to be so petty?”

I wanted to speak, but her phone rang.

It was a customized ringtone of a man singing.

“Alright, I’ll come over now.”

Gwen hung up and turned to leave. She suddenly stopped in her tracks as though she had recalled something.

She turned to me.

“I have something urgent to tend to. You should head home and make dinner.”

Gwen sighed in defeat when she saw that I was still silent. She spoke, as though she was comforting me.

“I know you can’t live without me. I’ll be back very soon. I’ll return with your favorite snack later.”

I looked at her as she left in a rush, and I felt a heavy feeling in my chest. I almost could not breathe.

The seven years I had wasted meant nothing to her.

She did not even bother to explain everything to me with sincerity.

I left.

When I passed by a playground, I was knocked to the ground by a man who was in a rush.

He seemed very anxious.

He sized me up before saying disdainfully, “Such bad luck!”

I grabbed him. I was overwhelmed with anger.

“Apologize!”

He glanced at me incredulously. He said disdainfully, “Why? Are you trying to blame me for this?

“You better not. You don’t know who my older brother and my sister-in-law are. You can’t afford to offend them!”

As he said that, he waved toward a couple standing nearby. He sounded excited. “Vincent, Gwen, you’re here!

“This man’s making me late on purpose!”

I looked over and met Gwen’s gaze across the crowd.

She was smiling. Both she and Vincent Scott were holding a little girl’s hands.

My gaze fell upon the little girl, Sandy Scott. I saw a gold necklace around her neck.

It was my family heirloom.

In the past, to use the expensive equipment to sustain Gwen’s life, I had no choice but to sell my family heirloom when I ran out of money.

When I came back to my senses, I was already running toward Sandy.

I reached out and forcefully tore the necklace off her neck.

My fingers trembled. Sandy was screaming and crying.

The next second, bodyguards subdued me. Gwen shielded Sandy and looked at me in anger.

She looked at me as though I was not her husband but her enemy.

“Zac, you’ve overstepped!”

“I overstepped?! Gwen, you know how important this necklace is to me!

“Besides…”

I clenched my fists and took a deep breath. I said hoarsely, “You’re having an affair! Don’t you have anything to say about that?”

Vincent, who was quiet throughout our conversation, chuckled. He stepped forward, wrapped his arm around Gwen, and said teasingly, “Affair?

“I’m afraid you’re confused as to who is the actual homewrecker in this situation.”

I suddenly realized something and looked at Gwen in shock.

At the same time, she leaned against Vincent’s chest and said, “That’s right. It’s exactly like you think.

“Our marriage certificate is fake. Vincent and I are legally married.”

Before I could say anything, she stepped forward and grabbed the gold necklace from my hand. She gave it back to Sandy.

The next second, Sandy threw the gold necklace onto the ground.

“I don’t want it anymore!”
