I walked past her without looking, but she called out, "Hannah Spencer.”

"What is it?"

Her smile looked worse than crying. "I schemed and plotted, but in the end I lost everything."

I was suddenly a bit curious. I got a coffee and sat on a bench outside to listen to her quiet confession.

"I fell for him the moment I saw him. Someone that brilliant—it's hard not to be drawn in.

"I deliberately got close to him, showed him my stubborn and unique side, subtly winning his sympathy. After he was hooked, I pulled back to make him obsess over me.

"I was naive enough to think that if I worked hard enough, someday I'd be worthy of standing beside him. But it was impossible—I could never keep up with your world.

"That so-called reunion wasn't fate—I orchestrated it. Every time he abandoned you to be with me, I felt triumphant. I actually believed he truly loved me.

    "Tsk tsk..." my friend commented, "Getting shipped off overseas and cut off from the Luther family's inner circle—all for some woman. What a waste."I wasn't surprised by this outcome at all. I said calmly, "The Luther family's real heir apparent was always the eldest son."It's just that Patrick had always been the favorite, which gave people the wrong impression.During my four years as his secretary, I saw it all too clearly. It wasn't that he lacked ambition—he just was never a match for his low-key older brother.My friend couldn't help speculating, "Think he'll take Lily overseas with him?""If it's true love, of course he will.""I bet he won't." My friend shook her head. "Their so-called love can't survive this kind of upheaval."I shrugged. "Who knows..."Before Patrick left, he asked to meet. I flatly refused.He blocked my car on my way home from work. My driver looked at the man standing in front of our vehicle and asked uncertainly, "Ms. Spencer, should we get out

    I looked at her stomach and said coldly, "Instead of worrying about my business, maybe focus on that poor child who'll be born illegitimate and unwanted."Lily finally couldn't take it anymore and fled through the crowd of whispers.I stared Patrick down and enunciated each word clearly, "Listen carefully—I stopped loving you long ago. Keep your woman in line and stop dragging me into your mess.""And thanks for leaving me—the best thing you ever did for me."Patrick's face changed as he pressed a hand to his chest and stepped back.I walked away with Travis, and this time I was the one who wouldn't look back.After the party, whether from spite or sheer greed, Patrick began aggressively targeting Spencer Industries.I was barely keeping up, but eventually I used the network and relationships I'd built during my years at his company to poach several of his biggest clients.During those four years working for him, I'd drunk myself into stomach ulcers, traveled to three countries

    At that time, I was accompanying him on a business trip to South City. I caught the flu and had a high fever that wouldn't break. But when Lily called, he abandoned me there and flew to her side overnight.Travis suddenly showed up at my hotel. He pretended to be reluctant but took care of me anyway.Our relationship suddenly grew closer, and that's when I realized how he felt about me.A week later, when I was feeling better, I saw Lily's not-so-subtle social media posts rubbing her relationship in my face.She never mentioned Patrick by name, but every word was designed to remind me how loving and happy they were while I was sick and miserable.I got drunk that night. Travis was frustrated with me. "You could have any man you want with a snap of your fingers.""Even you?"Two adults, taking what they needed from each other.After that night, I called Patrick to break up with him. He thought I was just throwing a tantrum and didn't take it seriously.We had a cold war for two

    Lily clenched her fists and looked at me with a complex expression. "I hope you won't see Patrick anymore. I want to give our baby a complete family."It was an unreasonable demand, and I naturally wouldn't indulge her. "The Spencer and Luther families have been close for generations. We move in the same circles, and we're bound to cross paths in business. Why should I go out of my way to avoid him?"You need to understand something—you two are the ones who wronged me. I don't owe you anything."She was just another pitiful woman. I looked at her with pity. Even without my interference, her life probably wouldn't be easy.The Luther family wasn't so easily manipulated. If she thought a baby would guarantee her a place in the family, she was in for a rude awakening.After that day, I blocked both of their numbers.......News about them still reached my ears from time to time. Word of Lily's pregnancy quickly got back to the Luther family.Mrs. Luther showed up at her door with

    "Don't kneel to her. You've done nothing wrong."Watching their little performance, I laughed coldly. "It takes two to tango. The real villain here is you—a two-timing bastard who wants it all.”Patrick shielded her behind him, his expression unreadable as he said accusingly, "Hannah, you chose to love me."I scoffed mockingly. "When I was young and naive, yes, I liked you. But I was never obsessed with you. If you'd been honest from the start, do you think I would have thrown myself at you?"All these years, you enjoyed my affection and pursuit, constantly giving me hope, leading me on, dropping hints."Patrick, don't take me for a fool. You're the one who's been playing games all along."Having his masks and schemes exposed, embarrassment flashed in his eyes."We were always meant to have an arranged marriage anyway."Well, congratulations—you're free now. I'm married to Travis now.”Patrick grabbed my hand desperately. "Let's talk this through."Lily clutched her stomach p
