Semua Bab You Swapped My Bags, I'll Swap You: Bab 1 - Bab 8

At that time, my family was completely against my marriage to Melvin. I ignored their warnings, determined to prove that he loved me for who I was, not for my status as one of the heiresses of Crestford.So, I hid my identity, planning to test him for five years. If he proved himself, we'd get married. But somehow, he got it into his head that I was desperate to marry him.Looking back, the whole thing feels like a farce.I called Dad and said, "You were right. Melvin isn't the one for me."He wasn't surprised. "Good timing. Let's focus on the overseas deal with Lloyd Group. You should go on a trip abroad to get some peace."Only now did I realize he'd seen through everything from the start and was just waiting for me to face the truth.I was packing my bags when Melvin walked in with Finn. As soon as he realized I was leaving, his face darkened."Willow, haven't you caused enough trouble?" he snapped. "I put up with you calling the police, and now you're tearing our family apar

Melvin crossed his arms and sneered as he watched me call for backup. "Oh, you're not calling the police today, but your lackeys? Cut the act. You came here to win me back, didn't you?"You're nothing but Jen's stand-in. You were so sweet when you slept with me back then. What turned you into such a shrew?"Before I could respond, a small figure suddenly darted forward. Finn, mimicking something he'd picked up, spat in my face."You're just his cash cow!" He planted his hands on his hips. "Dad already said you can't survive without him, that you're so clingy it makes him sick. And Ms. Jacobson said it's pathetic how low a woman like you can sink."Face it, what do you have, other than your money? How could you ever stack up to her? A woman should be cherished and treated like a queen by her man. No one's on your side here, Willow. Don't you think that's pathetic?"His spit dripped down my cheek as my fists clenched tighter. I had brought this child into the world.Melvin and I ne

Once the legal proceedings began, I was surprised to find out how lovesick he was. He'd handed over millions' worth of my jewelry to Jenny, and she either gave it away or sold it. Tracking down the buyers was hopeless because she'd sold the pieces for a fraction of what they were worth.Behind bars, Melvin lost it when he saw Jenny's tear-streaked face. "Jenny, what the hell is wrong with you? You sold a bag worth hundreds of thousands for five grand?"Jenny sobbed, her breath catching between cries. "I didn't know! I've never owned a bag worth more than 50 bucks. How was I supposed to know one could be that expensive? My family's house didn't even cost much more! And Chanel bags only go for a few hundred online…"Melvin was fuming. "Those are fakes! If you can't even tell the difference, what are you doing with luxury goods? Track down the buyers! Beg them if you have to! You're really just going to sit back and let me rot in here? That stuff went through you. You think you're wa

After fleeing Crestford, Jenny returned to her hometown looking disheveled and defeated. But she was no longer the wide-eyed ingénue who could win online sympathy with a few airbrushed selfies.People had uncovered her real name online long before. And in a town that small, any hint of moral failure, workplace harassment, or an affair with a married man could have ruined her for good.The neighbors' judgment trailed her the moment she set foot back in town.She kept insisting Melvin had deceived her, even making a scene at the entrance of the town's biggest mall, until a group of outraged women cornered her and shouted her down for half an hour.Jenny became infamous around town, stuck in a never-ending cycle of airing the same old misery to anyone who would listen. Her affair with Melvin quickly became the town's favorite piece of gossip.One day, while shouting curses in the street, she ran into Melvin, who had returned to town to sell off his assets and settle his debts.Witho
