Chapter 1

"Tom, my photography work won an international gold award."Jane Lawson burst excitedly into Tom Howard's room. Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, just like she had countless times when she was little.But in the next moment, a heavy slap landed on her face.Hailey Bundred, who had just stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, delivered the slap before angrily pushing her away."Jane, I'm still his official girlfriend, and yet you're throwing yourself at him like this. What's your intention? Are you so shameless that you have to seduce your brother?"Jane's face burned with pain. Her eyes brimmed with tears, but they didn't fall.Yes, how could she forget?Tom had a girlfriend now, and they were going to get married soon.Jane had been an orphan since childhood. Later, the Howard family had taken her in out of kindness, and Tom had spoiled her for many years. She had long grown used to clinging to him.She looked at Tom with a mix o

Jane stayed out until the early hours of the morning before returning home.Making the decision to leave took only a moment, but over 20 years of feelings weren't something she could just erase. She wasn't strong enough to truly let go without looking back.To avoid regretting her decision, she thought it best to minimize her interactions with Tom during the remaining 2 weeks.When she returned to the Howard family's residence, the house was pitch dark.Jane didn't turn on the lights and dragged her exhausted body toward her bedroom.But a voice from the living room suddenly called out to her."Jane."She turned and saw someone sitting on the sofa."What is it, Miss Bundred?"Hailey was wearing a black lace camisole nightdress, sensually leaning against the armrest of the sofa. She smiled. "Tom bought this nightgown for me. Does it look good?"As she sat up straighter, the faint red marks on her body gradually became visible.Against the black lace, they appeared even more p

Jane walked out of the magazine office and immediately saw Tom leaning against his black Cullinan, lost in thought.As she approached, she finally understood what Wendy meant by "a surprise."The interior of the black car was filled with bright red roses, blooming vibrantly.Except for the passenger seat, the backseat and the trunk were completely stuffed with roses.Behind her, she could still hear the voices of a few close female colleagues from the office.They were hiding behind the company sign, sneaking glances in their direction, giggling and nudging each other.Whenever Tom came to pick her up, he often brought her something she liked.Cakes, drinks, or a variety of snacks she enjoyed.Her colleagues had seen it many times, but they still teased her every time. "Whenever your boyfriend shows up, the whole office gets a treat. We're really benefiting from you, Jane!"Jane always tacitly acknowledged these remarks, brushing them off with a smile. She would then share wha

Tom immediately slammed his cup down heavily and said, "I gave her permission. What's the problem?"Jane stared at him, anger simmering. "Without my permission, what right does she have to enter my room and touch my things?""Jane, this is the Howard family's residence. Hailey is my fiancee. She can enter any room in the Howard family's residence as she pleases."Jane felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her.Hailey softly "scolded" him, her voice gentle. "Tom, how could you talk to Jane like that? You'll make her sad."Then she turned to Jane and explained, "Jane, the household staff told me that Tom's clothes and shoes had always been stored in your room. You've got so many clothes, and he was taking up half your closet, leaving no space for you. So I took the initiative to move all his clothes to our bedroom."Jane recalled how clingy Tom used to be with her.Because of him, she had never even received a love letter in her entire life. He had scared off

Jane hung up the phone.She calmed herself for a moment, then silently began cleaning up the mess on the floor. "Mr. Westwood's visa expired. He's too old to travel back and forth, so he asked me to help him with it."Tom asked suspiciously, "Isn't Mr. Westwood's daughter in the country? Why doesn't he ask her to handle it?"Jane replied sharply, "Why don't you give his daughter a call and ask her?""I don’t have the time.""Then stop asking so many questions."Jane spent the entire night tidying up the bedroom.Jane decided not to take the clothes and shoes that were ruined by Hailey away. She simply piled them up in the corner of the wardrobe.She managed to save a few rolls of film.However, the negatives had been soaked in water, causing severe distortion, so they were no longer usable.As for the bottles and jars of cosmetics, the liquids were mostly drained, and the powders had been soaked through, rendering them unusable as well.Hailey. [Today is just a warning.]Ha

Linda was also a bit surprised. "Jane, even if you want to show some kindness, we could have just donated money. Why donate all the clothes? It's getting cold, what will you wear?"Jane looked at Tom, gave a light smile, and said, "Didn't you say you'd help Hailey compensate me? These clothes are old, I don't want them anymore. With the money, I'll buy new ones. Is that okay?"Tom looked at her for a while and nodded. "Fine, how much do you want? I'll transfer it to you right now."Jane held up two fingers.Tom asked, "200 thousand? Sure.""No.""2 million?"Hailey suddenly got anxious. "How can a few pieces of clothing be worth 2 million?"Jane gave her a cold look and then said to Tom, "20 cents."These clothes were the ones Tom had insisted on buying for her before.Now that she had decided to leave, she didn't want to take his things, let alone his money.As he himself had said, this was the Howard family, and she was an outsider.20 cents, transaction complete.More t

The moment the plane landed at Miran Airport, Jane finally felt a sense of relief.Mr. Westwood had previously said that he would come with his wife to pick her up.But she clearly saw someone else as well."Jane, over here!"Jane smiled and walked over, first hugging Mr. Westwood's wife. "Mrs. Westwood, you still look as young and beautiful as ever."Then, she waved at Mr. Westwood, "Mr. Westwood, if you don't take better care of yourself, you won't be worthy of the young and beautiful Mrs. Westwood!"Mr. Westwood laughed heartily and said, "You naughty little girl, we haven't seen each other for years, and you start teasing me the moment we meet!""I'm not teasing you, I'm praising you! With that big beard of yours, you really look like a senior photographer, you could be on par with Max Rief!"Mr. Westwood laughed and scolded, "Get lost, you've been spoiled by your brother since you were little. You have no manners at all."Speaking of Tom, Mr. Westwood's wife asked, "Did y

This question once again shocked the other three people present.Mrs. Westwood covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then subtly gave Mr. Westwood a knowing look, nodding as if saying, "There's something going on here!"Mr. Westwood immediately understood and showed a meaningful smile.Even Sean was taken aback, unsure of Jane's intentions.Jane explained, "The front passenger seat is meaningful to any girl. If Sean has a girlfriend, I can go to the back and squeeze in with Mr. and Mrs. Westwood."Sean immediately waved his hand, "I don't have a girlfriend. You can sit here."Only then did Jane get into the car.After the car started, Mrs. Westwood gently said to Jane, "Jane, you don't need to be so distant. You and Sean are not strangers."Jane replied politely, "No matter how familiar someone is, as adults, we must have boundaries."This was a lesson taught to her personally by Tom.She would never forget it in her life.Mrs. Westwood smiled and said to Mr. Westwood, "Lo

Crash—The phone fell to the ground, and Tom seemed to have lost his soul. He stood there, stunned.Fortunately, the phone was of good quality, and the impact caused the loudspeaker feature to disconnect.Officer James's voice came through the phone. "We did find a female body in the East Suburb reservoir. Based on her age and clothing, it's highly likely that it's Ms. Lawson..."Hailey was also stunned.Jane was dead?Did she commit suicide?Was she really that in love with Tom? She committed suicide on the day of his wedding?But the next second, Hailey thought of something else—Tom's feelings for Jane were so deep. If Jane really died because of this, he would surely blame her. And Jane would become his forever unreachable true love!No one could defeat or replace the power of a dead true love, no one!But so what?She was dead, and Tom would belong to her alone. No one would compete with her anymore.Hailey smiled proudly, but she knew it wasn't the right time to smil

Tom drove back home as fast as he could.Just in time, he encountered the delivery man at the gate of the neighborhood.But the man was empty-handed."My package?" Tom grabbed him. "Didn't you say Jane sent me a package?"The delivery man was startled. "Mr. Howard? Your wife already signed for it. I just delivered it to her.""My wife?""Huh? No? But the lady just said she was Mrs. Howard..."Tom rushed into the villa."Hailey! Where are you?"At that moment, Hailey, who was in the bathroom, shivered in shock.She threw the things in her hands into the toilet and frantically pressed the flush button, but the next second, the bathroom door was kicked open by Tom.He grabbed the box in her hands and anxiously started flipping through it.—It was all photos.From when he was a child to when he was a grown man.He was wearing school uniforms, basketball outfits, suits, and casual clothes.Front, side, back, all were there.They were all his photos.They were taken by Jane.
