He immediately turned and headed for the kitchen.

Sitting on the couch, sipping the hot coffee the butler had brought, I asked with curiosity, "Why did Mr. Lloyd go to the kitchen himself?"

The butler, smiling warmly, answered, "Ms. Canfield, you're in for a treat. I've heard he's a great cook, but I've never seen him in action."

As we chatted, Thomas came over with a bowl of piping hot special mushroom soup and a few small dishes for me.

In the blink of an eye, the butler and the other servants had vanished from sight.

He watched me until I had finished everything, then he finally relaxed and leaned back on the sofa.

Without any preamble, he asked me, "I've agreed to help you get your revenge on him."

His words took me by surprise, and my mouth hung open in shock. What was he even talking about? I had come to him because I was out of money and my name had been dragged through the mud by Yvonne. Finding a job to support myself was going to be tough, so I took a chance on him, fi

    On the screen, Eric was by the river, watching the sunset, when out of nowhere, someone pushed him from behind, sending him tumbling into the water.I was just walking by when the same person pushed me too.I could not swim, but I managed to give the only log I found in the river to Eric, while I started sinking slowly to the riverbed."Look at the person who pushed you. Doesn't that figure look familiar? Even with a hat on, doesn't it remind you of Yvonne?"Yvonne denied it fiercely. "You're trying to pin this on me! It couldn't be me!""Really? Then maybe you'd like to see the other security videos I have, showing you changing clothes and leaving the alley?"Eric was stunned and whispered, "No way… Yvonne did this?"I jumped in. "You've always thought Yvonne was so upset about you marrying me that she left the country, right? Well, you're wrong. If she really loved you, why did she rush to convince you to marry me to take responsibility?”"She was using you all along! She kne

    I stood there, still as a statue, as memories came rushing back.My family did not have much money. They spent everything they had so I could go to that fancy school.To save money, I never ate breakfast.Then one day, I found a fancy breakfast on my desk and saw Eric walking away. I never let on, but I quietly accepted the food he left for me.I had come from a regular middle school, so keeping up with the smart kids at that high school was tough.When I was really struggling, I found a set of class notes on my desk that helped me a lot.Once again, I saw Eric.From then on, I secretly started to like him. However, I never thought he did those things because he liked me, I figured he just felt sorry for me.Thomas went on, "Every time you smiled at me on the basketball court, it was like my heart melted.""Later, I got brave enough to write you a love letter. I asked Eric, my buddy, to give it to you, but you turned me down hard. You said you wanted to focus on school and not

    His words made me laugh. "You know I've loved you for years. You're not stupid, but how did you treat me?:"I worked so hard to help make your company succeed. After it went public, you gave my shares to Yvonne behind my back and pushed me out of my VP job. You wanted me to hang out with rich ladies to keep your clients happy…”"And what did I get in the end? Divorce papers from you!"He looked worried when he saw that I was not soft anymore."Didn't I tell you? Once she gets her citizenship, I'll divorce her and marry you. Isn't that what we agreed on?”"Wendy, if you bring back those clients, I won't divorce you. I know you're just with Thomas to make me mad. You can't just throw away our years together."I laughed even harder. "I do love you, but I'm not dumb. There are so many ways to get someone their citizenship. Why did you choose this way?”"Eric, I'll just think of our time together as wasted years of youth. Please leave and don't bother me again.""Alright! Wendy, you

    What did she mean by that? Was there something going on between Thomas and me that I did not know about?"Do you know why Mr. Lloyd, even though he's so great, hasn't had a woman by his side for years?""Huh? Why?""Because he's always had someone special in his heart."Before I could ask more, we were already at the hospital entrance.I got out of the car and saw Thomas looking worried.I asked him, surprised, "Didn't you get on a plane? Why are you here?"He did not answer my question. Instead, he sounded annoyed, "I was gone for just a bit and you ended up like this? Really, you're hopeless!"With that, he took my hand again and rushed me into the hospital.I could not remember how he had gotten me back to the villa after that. Jessica's words kept echoing in my head. For some reason, thinking about the woman Thomas held dear made my heart race.I was going to call Jessica for the whole story after Thomas left, but then, out of nowhere, Eric came running up.As soon as he

    I thought about the little money I had in my bank account and let out a sigh."Okay, Mr. Lloyd. I'll do as you say."I threw myself into work over the next few days.I kept my word and set up meetings for him with the husbands of some wealthy ladies I knew well.He made them offers they could not refuse and signed deals with them.Only three days remained until I could get my divorce with Eric, but I was feeling uneasy, like something bad was going to happen.I had only planned to introduce Thomas to a couple of small clients to show I was serious about the job, without really affecting Eric's company.However, somehow, I ended up convincing some big clients to switch over too.Eric had to be furious with me.Today, as I was leaving the company to deliver a contract, a group of people suddenly blocked my way.They all waved their phones at me like they were trying to catch me in a net."Wendy, people are saying you're the one who caused Eric's accident in the river, and that
