LOGINAfter my mother passed away, my father's lover brought her daughter, Winona Sweeney, into our family. From then on, I became the most hated person in the entire family. To protect myself, I became arrogant, withdrawn, and grew into a thorny rose — beautiful, but no one was allowed to approach me. I no longer believed in love. When I was once again subjected to cold violence and isolation at the banquet, Cameron Payne openly declared his love for me to everyone and said that he would break the necks of anyone who slandered me! He pursued me openly, gave me a grand wedding, and announced his love for me to the whole world. Everyone envied me. Then, when a fire broke out during my father's birthday party, I almost died inside. No one from my family tried to save me; it was Cameron who saved me. When I woke up in the hospital, I heard a horrifying truth. "I know I mistook Hazel for my savior. It's my mistake and I will make it up to Winona. But that doesn't mean you can hurt Hazel!" Cameron was furious. "But Winona's leukemia can't wait; she needs a transplant immediately..." My father chose to sacrifice me for his illegitimate daughter. "That doesn't mean you can hurt Hazel! The baby is only seven months old; a premature birth can be fatal!" Those things I thought were signs of love turned out not to be for me from the very beginning. In that case, I would help him fulfill his debt to Winona.
View MoreThree months later, my divorce agreement officially came into effect.Cameron did not make any fuss over the agreement. His hands shook as he signed, but he still did it. He asked the lawyer to pass me a message. "If one day you change your mind, I'll still be here."However, I did not change my mind.On the day the divorce procedures were completed, Andre took me to the beach. He opened a bottle of sparkling water, poured two glasses, and handed me one. He said, "To celebrate your return to being single."I took the glass and clinked it with his. "Andre, you haven't answered my previous question.""What question?""What have you made up your mind about?"He paused for a moment, put down his glass, and turned around to face me.The sea wind blew his hair a bit messy, but his eyes were bright."Hazel, I've made up my mind about you. Not because of sympathy, the baby, or any other reason. It's because I saw you walking out of that marriage alone, pregnant alone, giving birth alo
After returning to Northvalley, Cameron did not stir up trouble or turn to violence to sort things out. Instead, he calmly uncovered all of Winona's deceptions one by one.The first person he dealt with was Dr. Chance.Cameron's men discreetly took Dr. Chance out overnight. The next morning, Dr. Chance willingly surrendered to the police, admitting to forging Winona's leukemia report.Meanwhile, Cameron gathered evidence linking Winona to the arson incident. The person hired by Winona to start the "accidental fire" at the party was a temporary worker at the hotel. After being found, this person confessed to the crime.Next was the design draft problem. Cameron gathered all my original drafts, timestamps, and creative records from over the years into a booklet. He submitted it to the design association and top media outlets.Within a week, Winona went from being the youngest genius designer to being seen as a hated plagiarist, fraud, and suspect in the arson case all over the inter
Ten months had passed when Cameron finally found me.I was carrying my bady in a supermarket when I turned around to see that tall figure at the doorway. All I thought was that he had come later than I expected.He had lost a lot of weight. His usual neatly fitted suit had been replaced by casual clothes. There was a thin layer of stubble on his chin, and he had severe dark circles under his eyes."Hazel." He walked over, his voice hoarse and almost inaudible.I instinctively stepped back, holding the baby tighter.That action made him stop.He explained, "I know everything now. All of it was Winona's conspiracy. You're the one... who saved me back then."I looked at him and stayed silent."Sorry." He lowered his head. "Hazel, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have trusted her. I shouldn't have treated you like that. I shouldn't have allowed you to leave alone."The baby in my arms moved. I lowered my head and patted his back. When he stopped crying, I looked back at Cameron. I asked, "A
During the two months I was away, Cameron's world gradually crumbled.After Winona moved into the VIP ward he arranged, she increasingly made demands. She wanted limited edition bags, custom-made jewelry, and for Cameron to have meals with her every day.At first, Cameron fulfilled all of them because he regarded Winona as the one who saved him, and she had leukemia. Gradually, he began to sense that something was off.The real turning point came from an accident.During a routine check-up, Cameron's subordinates discovered a spare phone hidden by Winona. There was a conversation inside that made him shiver all over.The recipient's ID was "Dr. Chance".Winona: [Are the blood test results ready? Don't give away any clues.]Dr. Chance: [They're ready. All the indicators match the clinical manifestations of leukemia.]Dr. Chance: [If Mr. Payne wants to access the original data, I have a backup here. He won't find out.]Winona: [That's good. We'll postpone it for another two mont
