Report
On the day of our engagement, my girlfriend, Jean Sullivan, is nowhere to be found until late at night. Beside myself with worry, I, Seth Lloyd, frantically reach out to our mutual friends and even consider calling the police. Suddenly, I come across a post about her from her assistant, Callum Cox. "My manager came over to discuss some plans, but the door lock suddenly broke. Does this mean we're going to be stuck in the same room tonight? I can't help feeling a little excited." When I like the post, Jean immediately calls me, furious. "Don't you have any idea how much I earn in a year? Just one day of my lost income would cover what you make in a whole week. "All I did was skip that stupid engagement party, and you start acting all snide. I don't have time to deal with your stingy relatives." My mom, Teresa Whitfield, stays silent, her eyes sweeping over the gold, eight sets of haute couture jewelry, and several property transfer deeds in the private room. With a forced smile, she asks, "Seth, have all these wedding gifts we've prepared embarrassed you?" I sneer, caressing the keys to the luxury car I'm about to give Jean. "No, it's me who's being too generous to her."

I came home late that night, only to jump in fright when a shadow suddenly sprang out from the bushes.Jean, hair disheveled and flying, rushed to me and threw herself at my legs, clinging to them as she wept."Seth, I was wrong. I was truly wrong. Please, I beg you—forgive me, will you? I swear from now on, I'll do whatever you say. I'll never go against you again. I love you. I really do. Don't leave me. Please, I'm begging you."I fixed her with an icy stare. "Jean, don't these words sound familiar? Back then, every time you threatened to break up, I begged you just like this. And what did I get in return?"You trampled on my dignity again and again. In the end, you even betrayed the love we shared. If that had been all, maybe we could have parted ways without it coming to this."But what you should never have done—the one thing beyond forgiveness—was the way you humiliated my mother that day. You have no idea. She knew we'd broken up, and still, she wanted to see you."She wa

I gathered all the clients I'd quietly steered to Jean over the years for a dinner at Lloyd Manor. It was my way of thanking them for their understanding and support.But only one person was missing—Mr. Hall, the raw materials supplier.I poured myself half a glass of wine, lowered my gaze, and asked in a low voice, "Does Mr. Hall have something urgent to attend to today?"Mr. Clark scoffed. "Urgent? What would he possibly be tied up with? Everyone here knows what he's like. No man's strong enough to resist a beautiful woman. Except that this woman is…"He gave me a hesitant look, then sent me a video.The footage was jaw-droppingly explicit. I never imagined that Jean, always so cool and aloof with me, could have a side this wanton.I quietly texted my assistant. "Find out where those two are right now."A moment later, a location pin came through. I forwarded it to someone else without a word.After a few perfunctory pleasantries, I excused myself and left the table. It was t

The midsummer weather was fickle. Though it was only midday, the sky suddenly turned dark.A heavy downpour came crashing down, and I walked along the estate's stone path beneath an umbrella. In the distance, I saw Jean kneeling on the ground, drenched and bedraggled.As I gave her a wide berth, she tilted her face up toward me, her eyes a mix of defiance and desperate pleading. I pretended not to see her and stepped into the pavilion.My client, Mr. Clark, came forward with a smile plastered across his face. "Well, now, I said I'd call on Ms. Whitfield myself. What made you come all this way?"I lifted my chin slightly, my gaze drifting toward Jean in silent inquiry.Seeing that, Mr. Clark sneered. "An ingrate like her deserves a lesson. If you hadn't insisted I hand over all those orders back then, would she even have a place in Solaris Group today? And after what she's done, she still has the gall to ask why I haven't signed off next quarter's orders for her."Mr. Clark gestur

I pressed on. "All these years, Solaris Group has paid you no less than tens of millions in salary, and this is how you repay us. Or have you been disloyal all along, never even caring to remain with Solaris Group?"Franklin's legs gave out, and with a heavy thud, he fell to his knees before me, landing hard. He slapped himself twice, viciously. "I was blind. I didn't even recognize Ms. Whitfield."Jean darted over, a sycophantic smile plastered on her face. "Seth, how's Teresa? I've been meaning to visit her, but work's kept me so busy. Otherwise, none of this would've happened."This is all Callum's fault. Yes, it must be him. He's the one trying to undermine our relationship."She grabbed my hand, her eyes reddening with feigned grievance, and her face arranged into a mask of wounded innocence. "You're not angry with me, are you?"Seeing her like that, a sick churn rose in my stomach. All these years, just to keep this relationship alive, I kept giving in, kept compromising, an

I gagged, veins bulging on my temples, my face flushing. I turned to face Jean, wanting to explain, but she smashed the glass in her hand toward me.A sudden, sharp pain surged through my temple. Instinctively, I wiped at it and found my hand dripping with blood.Flustered, Jean shouted, "A-Are yo

I roared, "Franklin, is this how you usually manage your subordinates? Letting them humiliate hotel guests indiscriminately, without any restraint?"Franklin was taken aback. He was about to say something when Callum stepped forward and slapped me hard across the face."How dare you even say Mr. L

I carried my suitcase and walked past Jean, who looked deathly pale, as if she weren't even there. I left without a backward glance.A resentful roar came from behind me just then. "Seth, you'd better actually have some guts this time and not stick to me afterward like a damn leech that won't let g
