Chapter 1

Three days before our engagement, Zach Jefferson called me. “We’ll need to postpone the engagement party by a month. That day is Sienna’s first concert since she returned, and I need to be there.“It’s just a postponement. It’s no big deal.”He had postponed our engagement three times that year.The first time was because Sienna Lynch had been hospitalized with appendicitis. He said he had to take care of her and rushed over.The second time, Sienna said she was feeling down. He was worried she might get depressed and immediately booked a flight to see her.It was the third time.I simply said, “Okay.”After hanging up, I turned to the good-looking and refined man beside me. “Are you interested in marrying me?”“Are you serious?” The man beside me looked at me. “After all, you two have been together for many years.”I raised an eyebrow. “He had three chances to hold the engagement party with me, but he never valued them. Maybe he doesn’t love me that much.“Since he doesn’t love me, wh

A few days later, I got a call from Zach. “Are you still on your business trip?“Hurry back. Sienna just returned to the country and wants to get together with everyone. She specifically asked to see you.”I frowned. “I’m still busy here. You guys can meet up without me.”He sounded annoyed. “Can’t you put your work on hold?“Sienna invited you, and you’re going to ignore it?“Listen. Whether you want to come or not, you have to. If not, you can forget about the land in East District!”I hesitated. I had worked hard on the building plans for that land, and they were halfway done. If Zach got upset, all my work would be wasted.Fine, I would go. Our relationship was about to end, so I should take this opportunity to say goodbye.I went to the hotel according to the address he sent me. The private room was already full of people. They were mostly Zach’s friends.Zach and Sienna were sitting together in the middle. They purposely dressed in matching outfits, which made them look like a co

“Tsk, as expected from you, Zach. Always so generous.” I chuckled. “This was made from a sapphire that his parents bought at an auction ten years ago. It cost a fortune.“It was supposed to be for their daughter-in-law. It looks like Zach really likes you, Sienna.”The room instantly went silent. After all, I was still Zach’s future fiancee.Sienna quickly reacted. Tears filled her eyes, and she tried to take the tiara off. “Sorry, Yulia. I know I don’t deserve something so expensive. I’ll give it back to you.”She yanked it off and pulled some hair with it. A couple of tears dropped.Zach was irritated and grabbed her hand. “When I give something, I don’t take it back. I gave it to you, so keep it.“I want to see who dares to say otherwise!”He turned to me with annoyance. “Yulia, why do you have to be so petty?“Acting like my wife before we’re even married? Do you have no respect for me?”I sneered and stood up. “I was just saying it casually. I never said it had to be mine

Everyone immediately turned to look at us. Joel stood next to me. His tall 6’3” frame gave him an intimidating presence.“Is everything okay?” he asked while softly pulling me into his arms. “He didn’t hurt you, did he?”“No.” I shook my head.Joel kept me behind him and turned to face Zach. He coldly said, “Mr. Jefferson, what dress my fiancee wears is between us.“You’re just an outsider. It’s not your business.”“I’m an outsider?” Zach’s face immediately darkened as he stepped closer. “Yulia, what does he mean by that?”Joel’s expression as he stepped in front of Zach.He usually had a cold demeanor and was a successful businessman. People in Central City usually respected him.His visage made everyone else too nervous to say anything.But Zach was unfazed. He followed me closely and asked, “Yulia, are you playing some kind of game again?“You sure have got some guts to have another man play an act with you. Stop right there!”I ignored him and went straight to Joel’s car

Even though Joel was young, he was already the backbone of the Howard family. Just one word from him and half of Central City would be shaken. His engagement ceremony, naturally, was over-the-top grand.The venue was the largest hotel in Central City, and he even hired a team to livestream the entire event.My parents had no objections. They were just thrilled to see me getting married.I knew they had never liked Zach, but they stayed quiet because I was so into him.Since we broke up, they had nothing holding them back.My mom smiled and said, “Remember when you were little? You used to follow Joel around and call his name nonstop.“But when you hit your teens, you somehow got hooked on Zach. Back then, your dad and I warned you he wasn’t a good match, but you wouldn’t listen.“Well, it’s all worked out now. You’ve finally come to your senses. Joel is such a good guy. You better treat him well.”Thinking about all the dumb things I had done for Zach made my face burn with emb

Zach barged into the engagement ceremony just as Joel and I were exchanging rings.He angrily stormed over and grabbed my hand tightly. “Yulia, stop this. Come back with me.”Joel frowned and pushed Zach away. “Mr. Jefferson, I don’t remember inviting you.“If you’re here to make trouble, don’t blame me for being rude.”Zach’s parents were just as shocked. They did not want to cause a scene in front of everyone, so they quickly tried to drag him away.“What are you doing?! There are so many people here! Are you trying to ruin this event?”But Zach ignored them. He still held onto me and tried to pull me away.“This engagement doesn’t count. I don’t agree with it!“She’s my girlfriend! We haven’t broken up. How can Joel be the one getting engaged to her?“Yulia, come back with me before I get angry!”Sienna, standing nearby, spoke up with a fake, innocent tone, “Yeah, Zach never said he was canceling the engagement.“He’s just been busy, and things got postponed. But I didn’t

Chapter 7

I did not care about that. “If you hadn’t kept giving her chances, would she have the nerve to come in front of me and disgust me?“You just enjoy having women around you. Honestly, you’re the disgusting one!”Sienna cried, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been around you and Zach. I’ll leave now.”I frowned in annoyance. “If you’re going to leave, just go. Nobody cares where you go.“The Lynch family is finished with you. You’ve ruined their reputation.“You’d better hold on to Zach. This is your last chance.”She ran off in embarrassment.Zach still wanted to stop me from getting engaged, so Joel had someone give him a good beating before throwing him out.After the engagement ceremony, my friends came to congratulate me. They could not wait to tell me what had happened.“Yulia, do you know what happened to Sienna after that day?“She’s been the joke of the circle. She tried to hide at the Lynch family’s place to escape the gossip, but they were so embarrassed by her that they

Chapter 8

Tears streamed down Sienna’s face as she angrily looked at me. “It’s all your fault, Yulia! If it weren’t for you, Zach wouldn’t have left me. Why are you trying to take him from me? Why?”I was speechless. “Seriously? Who would want him? You’re the only one who would even consider someone like Zach. Please, just leave my life with him.”Suddenly, Zach appeared.He must have heard about the fuss and came running.“Yulia!” He tried to get close to me. “Please listen to me! I’m not with this woman anymore!”Sienna, in tears, yelled, “Zach, why are you doing this? I’m carrying your child! Are you going to abandon your own baby?”Everyone was stunned. I sneered and asked, “Didn’t you say nothing happened? So how is she suddenly pregnant?”But Zach refused to admit it. “She’s lying! I don’t like her!“Yulia, I’ve always loved you. I know I messed up before. Can we start over? I’ll do better this time. Please forgive me.”I did not even look at him. “Zach, you need to move on.”I t
