When Love Cuts Deep, Loneliness Bleeds Chapter 9
The post even went into how Mom had supposedly gotten involved with Dad and become Mrs. Simmons. Miranda, the real mistress, had posed as the rightful wife and written a whole accusatory article. What a joke!The comments below were all steering people toward the same idea—that someone like me wasn't fit to be Mrs. Sterling. Some even said that if Maxwell didn't divorce me, they'd boycott his company altogether. Maxwell glanced through the comments and couldn't help laughing. "My company doesn't survive off people like them. If they want to boycott, let them. I'll have the legal department handle the post later," he said. I kept scrolling, smiling as I replied, "Don't delete it. The bigger the mess, the better. We didn't have a reason to kick them out of the Simmons residence before, but now we do."…I wasn't worried at all, but Clinton was in a full-blown panic. He called me countless times and even showed up at the Sterling residence, asking to see me and offering to handle

If it hadn't been for Miranda's relentless scheming back then, Dad would never have fallen out of love with my mother, and she would never have been kicked out of the house.I scoffed and slowly approached her. "Miranda, do you still think I'm that three-year-old who could be intimidated just by mentioning my father? Maybe it's time you considered whether you and Roxanne even have a place in this house."Roxanne and Miranda exchanged a glance. Panic flickered in the latter's eyes, and her voice trembled as she asked, "W-What do you mean?"I sneered and deliberately lowered my voice as I leaned close to her ear."Oh, you want to know what I mean? Roxanne isn't my father's daughter. She's your former sugar daddy's child. And if you don't want me to expose the truth, you'd better have your daughter return the inheritance my mother left me!"Miranda panicked, grabbed Roxanne, and made her go upstairs to fetch the money. At that moment, Dad came over to intervene. "Once the money is

Back in our room, I finally asked Maxwell, "If I really refuse to marry you, would you give up your own happiness to be with Roxanne?"He held me close, pressing his face against my shoulder. "Wasn't it a gamble? Lucky for me, I won."After such an exhausting day, I finally allowed myself a relieved smile. …I decided we wouldn't have a wedding ceremony because of what happened with Landon. Maxwell respected my wishes and followed my lead.Even without a ceremony, the news of our marriage was still made public online. Maxwell also hired the best PR team to erase that photo from the internet. No one could find it anymore. After we got married, he stayed by my side at home, though work never stopped coming in. I assumed it must be urgent and urged him to head back to the office. He pulled me onto the bed with a playful grin. "We've only been married a few days, and you're already trying to send me away? Nothing at work is more important than you."Actually, I was just about to

Maxwell's fury boiled over. He extended a hand toward the man behind him, asking for a gun. Then, he pointed it at Landon and yelled, "Move aside! I always keep my word. He's not leaving here alive!"But I reached out to stop him. Shaking my head, I said, "Letting him die like this would be far too easy. For people like him, death would only be a relief. I've already called the police. The law will deal with him."Maxwell lowered the gun at my words. Yet, when the police arrived, he shook uncontrollably while holding my hand. It was as if he had been the one who had endured it all. The police gathered the evidence of the assault, confirmed Landon's guilt, and took him away. Once the chaos ended, I went upstairs and washed myself thoroughly. Meanwhile, Clinton was on his knees outside the door, dazed and slapping himself over and over as he begged me to forgive him. Even when the bodyguards dumped a battered, barely conscious Roxanne in front of him, he didn't look at her. H

Clinton went on, "You turned him down for me back then. Now that he's back in the Sterling family and has become a wealthy, powerful heir, you regret it, don't you? I can't believe I ever got engaged to a gold-digger like you!"My gaze stayed fixed on him. Every curse I could think of swirled in my throat, yet not a single word escaped. He felt like a stranger.At that moment, I stepped forward and slapped him hard, screaming, "If I were really a gold-digger, I wouldn't have spent years drinking myself sick to help you secure business deals and qualify to inherit your family fortune!"Clinton Whitfield, do you even know what just happened to me in that bathroom?"His eyes widened in shock as he took in the bruises on my skin. Then, he grabbed my arms and asked, "W-What happened to you just now? That doctor was supposed to be one of the best OB-GYNs! Roxanne picked him herself! Did something go wrong?"Roxanne, on the other hand, panicked. She tugged on Clinton's sleeve, desperate

I jerked my head up. Seeing the man before me, I was stunned. "Maxwell?" I blurted. "You're the heir to the Sterling family?"Maxwell Prescott studied the bruises on my arms, his eyes full of concern. Just like old times, his voice was gentle as he said, "I go by Maxwell Sterling now."He had been one of my classmates in high school. Back then, he was rebellious and a notorious troublemaker. Yet, he was a top student. Even the principal couldn't rein him in. Maxwell always claimed to be poor, but I discovered that the house he lived in was worth millions of dollars. After the SATs, he confessed to me. However, I was already engaged to Clinton, so I turned him down. Years later, seeing him again, he was now the heir to the Sterling family. Rumor had it that he refused to return home until he came of age, and his family doted on him. It seemed that he had had a falling out with the Sterlings, which was why he had come to Havenfield. Maxwell tugged gently at my arm, pulling
