登入Cara recounted miserably, "I could only cut my losses and turn Warren over to the police. The company is a complete mess now. Even if you won't help me, can't you come back for the company's sake? Half of your life's work is in it too."Julian, you're all I have left now."As she spoke, she wore an expression of immense regret. "If only I had listened to you back then and fired Warren, maybe none of this would have happened. You're responsible too. You knew Warren wasn't a good guy. Why didn't you keep exposing him and insist on revealing his true nature?"Hearing the sudden accusation, I laughed.How many times had I exposed him? How many pieces of evidence had I put right in front of her? Which one of those had she ever believed?I retorted, "Stop fooling yourself. No matter how many times I insisted, you would still have chosen to believe Warren without hesitation. You never would have believed me, would you? You always thought his life was difficult, so you instinctively sympa
Whenever I wanted to take a break, Cara always found some excuse to tell me to keep going.It wasn't until much later that I realized my perseverance had bought her time to go on dates with Warren. While they were out together, I was sitting in front of the keyboard, typing furiously away and working myself to the bone.It was ridiculous.Now, it was finally time for me to take a break for my own sake.After sending me a few messages, Cara went quiet again. That had always been the extent of her patience and determination.Just when I thought things had finally ended between us, I unexpectedly received a call from her on the night my flower shop opened.I had just wrapped the last bouquet when Cara's name suddenly appeared on my screen. I had no intention of answering, but the ribbon from the bouquet accidentally brushed the answer button.The call connected because of the phone's laggy system."Hello, are you Ms. Lavigne's husband? She's passed out drunk at our bar. Could you
Cara didn't think much of it and handed me a slice of cake.I didn't take it, saying, "No thanks. I'm allergic to dairy cream."With that much frosting, it was obvious it had been chosen for Warren's tastes. She awkwardly smiled and set it down.I glanced at the time and gestured toward the clock. "If you have something to say, just say it. I want to get some rest. I have a train to catch tomorrow."She suddenly looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"Seeing the reluctance in her eyes, I swallowed before answering, "Back to my hometown.""Then I'll go with you. I'll buy a ticket right now." Cara pulled out her phone and opened a ticket-booking app.For a moment, I couldn't understand what she was trying to do.Taking a deep breath, I said, "Once I go back, I'm not coming here again. There's no need for you to follow me."Her finger paused above the payment button. Only then did she realize that I was leaving for good.Back when I first came to this city, it was because of
"He grew up surrounded by rumors and gossip, and yet you're using such underhanded tactics to harm him. How can you be so heartless?" Cara accused.Once again, I didn't say a single word. Even so, Cara placed all the blame on me."Did Warren really have such a hard life growing up?" Carl and Carly asked curiously.Cara patiently explained Warren's past to Daisy and the Lavigne siblings, occasionally glaring at me.They instantly felt a lot of sympathy for him."My gosh! When did Julian become such a vicious person? Warren is already sensitive and insecure by nature, and he still tried to harm him!"As Cara talked about Warren's experiences of being bullied, I saw her eyes soften with pity.But all of that had been fabricated by Warren. It was merely a way to cover up the fact that he had once bullied others and to paint himself as a victim.I had investigated the matter long ago and even placed the evidence right in front of Cara. Not only did she refuse to believe me, but she
I was definitely taking the car back. As for the savings accumulated over the past ten years, we each got half of those according to the law. It was the same for the company shares."We should still check. If he's lying to us, we'll suffer a huge loss," Daisy urged.Cara hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly looking at me as if she had thought of something. Feeling impatient with her slow response, Daisy took the phone from her and began checking herself.Within a few minutes, both the bank and the company's finance department had called back. Not a single cent of Cara's assets was missing.Seeing that everything had been made clear, I prepared to leave."Oh, right. Warren is driving my car. Please have it cleaned and returned to me. It's already been sold," I said.I had already found a buyer the night before.Just as I pulled open the door, Cara suddenly spoke."Wait."I thought she still had questions. But what she said next, however, left me in disbelief.She paused
Cara froze. As her gaze landed on the divorce decree in front of her, she looked surprised.The others exchanged glances and instantly looked delighted, especially Carl and Carly."Why didn't you tell us, Cara? We were even discussing with Mom how to persuade you to get divorced. This is great! We're going to have a new brother-in-law!"Daisy's anger also subsided considerably. The look she gave me was less disdainful, and she even started blaming Cara.She complained, "Cara, you should've told me you got divorced. You made me waste so much of my breath to convince you."Cara snapped out of it and immediately denied it. "I didn't divorce him.""Then this must be a fake decree. He brought a fake divorce decree to scare you. Does he really think you can't live without him? Haha!"Carl and Carly burst into laughter. Warren laughed as well.Cara snatched the divorce decree from me and tore it apart in front of everyone. She scattered the pieces at my feet like trash."Julian, you
Hearing that, Daisy looked surprised. The moment she realized I was unemployed, she immediately chimed in, "Julian, have you got no shame at all? Are you planning to sit at home and live off a woman now? If I'd known you were this pathetic, I never would've agreed to let Cara marry you!"Daisy tr
In the comments section, there was one reply where Cara referred to herself as Warren's girlfriend.Everything she had done for Warren now, she had once done for me. She was having such a good time that she probably wouldn't be back anytime soon.Just as I was heading to my usual restaurant with t
The blabbermouth Betty said, "Don't tell me it's really like everyone said. Are you really faking your dad's death to get attention? What a mess. No wonder Cara is closer to that assistant of hers. You're so useless. You can't even keep your own wife under control."What a shame. I was planning to
Cara was absolutely unconcerned.She went on, "If he were really busy, he'd be at the office right now instead of scrolling through posts during work hours and leaving random comments just because he thinks he's contributed so much! He hasn't even apologized, and now he's throwing a tantrum because
