Chapter 3

“Ah!”

A moment later, Whitney, who had run out to comfort Yarden, let out a sharp scream.

Her face burned with anger. She rushed up to me and smashed the phone against my head.

“Yale! Are you trying to ruin Yarden by doing something like this?”

A dull pain throbbed at my temple. Warm blood ran down past my eye.

I was nonchalant about it. I simply wiped the blood away. Then, I looked at Whitney quietly and slapped her across the face.

I said in a flat voice, “If I really wanted to ruin you two, it would only take a flick of my finger.”

Whitney froze in shock after the slap.

Yarden quickly rushed over and pulled her behind him. He looked as if he was trying to be reasonable.

“Mr. Foster, no matter how much I offended you, you didn’t have to expose your own wife’s scandal. It doesn’t matter if you ruin me, but what about Whitney?”

What a touching scene. They cared about each other so much. They looked to be deeply in love.

I wiped the blood from my temple and looked at Yarden with a smile.

“You may not know this yet. Whitney and I have called off the wedding. She is not my wife. You should be happy. Isn’t this what you wanted?”

There was no need to guess. Yarden must have leaked the news.

His eagerness to latch onto Whitney was obvious to me.

Only Whitney could not see it. She simply thought I was trying to get revenge.

“Yale, that’s enough!”

Whitney was furious. She jabbed a finger at my nose and spat, “Why are you going after Yarden? You did something disgusting, and now you’re trying to pin it on him?

“Get your people to take that trending topic down. I’ll act like none of this ever happened.”

She paused for a moment, then added, “I’ll reflect on my mistakes. The wedding will go on as planned tomorrow.”

Even at this point, she actually thought I would marry her.

“That has nothing to do with me. Deal with it yourselves.”

I did not want to waste words on her. I turned to leave.

However, Yarden suddenly stepped in front of me. I threw him to the floor.

“Yale! Can’t handle your own scandal being exposed, so you hit people? I never knew you were like this!”

I looked at Whitney’s twisted face and laughed.

Yeah. She had always seen me as someone who loved her unconditionally.

That was why, after getting all my love, she did not value it at all.

That was why she dared to yell at me over some pretty boy.

At that thought, I glanced at Yarden on the floor and kicked him hard.

He curled up in pain.

I gave Whitney a cold look.

“This is what hitting someone looks like. Since the wedding is canceled, give back the Foster family crystal bracelet my grandmother gave you.”

Whitney froze.

“You’re… really canceling the wedding?”

Her eyes flashed. A moment later, her gaze turned steady again. She sneered.

“No way. You love me so much. You put so much effort into the wedding. A wedding this grand doesn’t just get canceled. You’re just trying to threaten me!”

She yanked the bracelet off her wrist and held it high. Her voice was laced with a threat.

“Then, I’ll threaten you too. Take the trending topic down now, or I can’t promise your grandmother’s bracelet will stay undamaged.”
