Chapter 1

During the New Year's Eve dinner, my pineapple juice was secretly swapped for alcohol. But I had taken cephalosporin earlier on.The doctors used a lot of effort to save me, but my wife, Jennifer Robinson, shielded the person who was responsible behind her."This matter ends here. Be generous and forgive him. He didn't do it on purpose."I didn't plan on letting this man off so easily. He had an ambiguous relationship with my wife.But Jennifer interrupted me with a frown. "That's enough! He's only a fresh graduate. What's the point of making a fuss? Do you have to ruin the rest of his life to feel satisfied?"I looked at how my wife was protecting him and my heart sank."Then you two can spend the rest of your lives together.""What do you mean by that? Lee, can't you not be so narrow-minded? As the employer, what's wrong with me caring for my employees? Why did you have to overthink our relationship? You've ruined our New Year's Eve dinner!"My words seemed to have exposed wh

I met and fell in love with Jennifer in college. We both studied finance. Our university was ranked among the top in the country.Most of the students in this department came from families with "connections" and "backgrounds," but Jennifer was different.She relied entirely on her own efforts to get in, and she planned to build her future from scratch.That determination of hers immediately attracted me. It was no surprise that we ended up together.I was the one who pursued her, and I learned a lot from her along the way.My family didn’t value Jennifer.In fact, when I was about to graduate, they had already chosen a marriage alliance partner for me, assuming I was just playing around with her and would eventually return to fulfill their expectations.But people were always rebellious. That youthful defiance I had back then was something I could no longer muster.I broke ties with my family and chose to stay with Jennifer.Looking back now, we had been married for three year

"You're back?"Jennifer was sitting on the sofa. The moment she saw me return, her smile disappeared, and her demeanor turned lukewarm. She didn’t even ask how I was doing physically.Clearly, she hadn’t expected me to come back suddenly. She had probably been in a good mood, but the moment I opened the door, her face darkened.For a married couple to reach this point, where we were just keeping up appearances, it really felt meaningless."Yeah," I replied casually, my tone equally indifferent. It was then that I noticed her posture on the sofa seemed a bit subconsciously tense.I frowned slightly, and in the next moment, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom shower.There was someone else in the house."Who's in the shower?"Even though I already had a guess in mind, there was still a sliver of hope when I asked the question.However, Jennifer's expression immediately turned unpleasant as she forced an explanation."It's Henry. His water's been shut off

"You want to divorce me?"To my surprise, Jennifer didn’t erupt in anger upon hearing those words. Instead, she furrowed her brows, her expression carrying a faint trace of confusion."Lee, you have no reason to divorce me. All I’ve done is look after Henry, and I’ve always treated him like a younger brother. Other than that, I can only assume you no longer love me and have no feelings for me anymore.""Think what you want. The divorce is happening," I replied.I didn’t even spare her a glance. At this point, arguing was pointless.My attitude seemed to unsettle her slightly, and her expression shifted. She must have realized this wasn’t one of my so-called “dramatic acts” like before. This time, I was serious.She instinctively stepped forward and grabbed my arm."Lee, stop this nonsense. Let’s talk properly—"I yanked my arm free, a strong wave of disgust flashing across my face."Don’t touch me!"With that, I turned and walked away. The force of my movement caused Jennifer

My dad was stunned on the other end of the line for what felt like an eternity before letting out a cold snort.“Dad? You still recognize me as your dad? You even remember this family? Lee, let me tell you, this isn’t a place you can come and go as you please! I raised you, and yet you—”“You picked up my call so quickly and still remember my number. Dad, deep down, you were waiting for me to call back, weren’t you?”After all these years, I realized that my dad, though sharp-tongued and seemingly stern, wasn’t as cold-hearted as I once thought.“You...”Before he could deny it, my mom grabbed the phone from him. Her voice was choked with emotion, her tone filled with relief.“Lee, you... you want to come back? That’s good! When will you be home? Don’t listen to your dad. He’s red-eyed himself but too stubborn to admit it. He’s missed you too.”Hearing my mom’s voice, my heart ached slightly, and I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of guilt.Back then, they sent me to a top u

“Lee, I must have really misjudged you! We’ve only just divorced and you already found yourself a new girlfriend?”Faced with her accusations, I was momentarily stunned. I hadn’t expected to see her at this banquet.With her current standing, she shouldn’t have been qualified to receive an invitation from my father.But I didn’t dwell on it, instead, I responded coldly, “It’s still better than you cheating on me.”I had no desire to continue the conversation. I turned to leave, but Jennifer grabbed my arm.“Wait! What... what’s your relationship with Mr. Frost? You both have the same surname... Are you—are you relatives?”Looking at her panicked expression, I found her hilarious.Back then, I never told her much about my family because I didn’t want her to feel pressured. Jennifer knew I had fallen out with my family for her and was aware I came from a good background.But she had never connected me with Mr. Frost.My parents had disapproved of her from the start, and they had

I had no idea how she found out the location of the Frost family’s residence, nor how she managed to deceive the security guards to get in.It was likely through using my personal information. As soon as I parked my car, I saw her forcing a smile and approaching me.“Lee...”“What are you doing here?” I frowned deeply, feeling an oncoming headache. She didn’t answer my question directly but instead lowered her demeanor, her face tinged with deliberate flattery.“I came here today because... I hope you can come back. Lee, I’ve only just realized the company cannot survive without you.”“Cannot survive without me?” I scoffed, my tone cold. “More like it can’t survive without my father’s cooperation. Don’t you think this is ridiculous, Jennifer?”Her expression stiffened as she panicked, stepping closer. “I’ll fire Henry! From now on, I’ll cut off all ties with him! Lee, I’m begging you—come back!”She reached out to grab my hand, but I subtly evaded her touch.“Save it, Jennifer.

Chapter 8

“You wanted to harm Lee?”In the interrogation room, Jennifer questioned Henry in disbelief. Henry, after rounds of police interrogation, no longer tried to deny it.He looked up at Jennifer, his face no longer carried the innocence and naivety of a recent graduate. Instead, it was filled with malice and disdain. He started shouting at Jennifer.“You idiot! Why did you call the police? I thought I could get through this with your help, but instead, you turned on me and reported me! What on earth were you thinking, you wretch?”Jennifer took a couple of steps back, staring at the true face of Henry in disbelief. The two immediately began arguing.“Then why did you tell me it wasn’t intentional?”“If I didn’t say that, would you have defended me? Don’t you just like it when I act pitiful and call you ‘Jennifer’ in a pitiful tone?”Henry, now in handcuffs, seemed more relaxed after revealing his true nature.He leaned back against the interrogation chair, letting his eyes freely r
