LOGINThe day Henry decided to marry my best friend, I turned into a joke in everyone’s eyes. He lifted my chin and stared into my eyes bewitchingly. “If you admit your fault, I can overlook your mistakes and start over again with you.” I obeyed and uttered the words, “I was wrong.” And yet, with mocking eyes, he sneered, “I can’t believe you’re this cheap, Julia.”
View MoreI was woken up by a bucket of cold water.Nina stood before me expressionlessly.“You’re awake. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I’m just here to tell you the truth.” My heart was beating wildly as I looked up at her warily.She smiled before her expression turned stone-cold.“Wanna know who killed your father? It was Grant Sawyer.” My eyes widened. Nina’s expression remained unchanged. She continued to explain slowly, “Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but Grant has feelings for you. However, since you only ever had eyes for Henry, he became friends with him to get closer to you.“When Grant realized you wouldn't break up with Henry, he sought out your father and asked him for your hand in marriage. However, your father refused to interfere with your relationship, so he bankrupted your family and forced your father to leap to his death. This entire trap was designed to make others think your family had crossed someone you shouldn’t have offended.“He even threatened you with Henry.
As soon as I said that, the door burst open.Nina was holding a thermos bottle when her cold gaze fell on me and Henry’s hands.I frowned when I was reminded of what she had done to me in the dressing room earlier today. I asked her coldly, “What are you doing here?” In the next second, the hostility in Nina’s eyes was replaced by a concerned look.“Julia, I heard you were hospitalized, so I dropped by to see you. None of us expected your mother would pass so soon, so don’t think too much of it. I’m sure she doesn’t want you to feel devastated over her passing, right?” Even after what happened, she was still keeping up the act.I couldn’t be bothered with her games.“Enough with your hypocrisy, Nina. Did you think I’d fall for your spiked drink again?” My mother had died. I was all alone in this world now, so I had nothing holding me back.Nina’s face turned deathly pale. She subconsciously glanced at Henry.Immediately, a frown appeared on his face. There was a somber loo
After leaving the wedding venue, Grant offered to send me to the hospital.I shook my head and refused."Bring me to the airport. I'm still okay." I could feel the effects of the drug slowly wearing off. Visiting a hospital at this moment would be like walking into a trap; Henry would never let me go. When we arrived at the airport, Grant brought me to the departure gate. However, I frowned when I didn't see any signs of my mother."Where's my mother?" I asked him.Grant poured me a glass of water and replied, "We'd stick out like a sore thumb if we moved together. I've already asked a friend to bring your mother away first." I let out a sigh of relief. The cold water made me feel so much better.For some reason, I began to feel a sense of unease.I could still hear Henry's pleas in my ears, just like five years ago. We were the only people at the departure gate. While I awaited the boarding announcement, I paced back and forth restlessly.All of a sudden, Grant's phone
I bit my lip forcefully so that the pain could keep me awake.I felt a hand touch my face, so I grabbed it and bit down hard.I heard his scream, but I kept biting and refused to let go.The man managed to break free and raised his hand to slap me.However, he was stopped at the last moment."Ms. Jones specifically instructed us not to hit her face." Feeling dissatisfied, the man gave me a few hard kicks and spat at my face."Looks like you like things the hard way, huh?" I fell to the floor like a heavy sack of potatoes. At that moment, I heard my phone ringing.I looked over to the dressing table where my phone was. I crawled toward my phone, but someone grabbed my foot and dragged me back.In my struggles, I cried out, "Let me go! Henry won't forgive you if he finds out about this!" As soon as I said that, the men burst into laughter."Mr. Palmer? He's too busy with the wedding ceremony to care about you." "Stop fighting! Just stay still and cooperate with us. You'l
