All Chapters of Shatter My Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"I've booked the 8:00 pm slot on December 25 for you at the crematorium. Don't worry, I've arranged everything properly, and your death will be successfully faked."Winifred Jaeger's face was deathly pale. As they said, the deepest grief came when all hope had been lost. "Thank you," she said.She ended the call and then turned to look at the giant screen outside the shopping mall. Timothy Stringer, dressed in a nice-looking suit and exuding the air of a noble elite, was being interviewed by entertainment reporters."Rumors have it that your fiancée comes from an average family. Some say she's marrying above her station, and they're calling you a lovestruck fool. Do you agree with these comments, Mr. Stringer?"Timothy was very displeased, but he still explained gently, "My fiancée and I have known each other since high school, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. Even though she doesn't come from a wealthy background, she's still an exceptional woman who is rich in he

Winifred pulled herself out of Timothy's embrace. Her eyes were bloodshot and lifeless as she said hoarsely, "I'm going to go lie down for a while. You go do your thing.""I'll carry you." Timothy lovingly stroked her cold face, then scooped her up into his arms and carried her to the bedroom. He then gently laid her down on the bed and playfully booped her reddened nose.These little actions of his were no different from before. If it weren't for the existence of Selena, Winifred would've believed that he still loved her dearly, and she would've snuggled into him as affection for him flooded her."It's still early. You can get some more sleep." Timothy reflexively went to unbutton his shirt, wanting to lie down beside her. But the next second, he sat back up, as if he suddenly remembered something.He looked at Winifred as he chuckled. "I was going to sleep next to you, babe, but I suddenly remembered I have an important meeting coming up. If I lie down now, I might not have t

Winifred hurried over, but she didn't manage to stop Heather from opening the door in time.A well-dressed Timothy stood outside, and behind him was his driver, Adam Hook, holding multiple bags. Seeing this, Heather and Liam eagerly welcomed their son-in-law with bright smiles and non-stop compliments.Winifred glanced outside, and that's when she heard Timothy say very courteously, "Heather, Liam, I'm here to take Winnie home."The older couple was very pleased with how respectful Timothy was to them, especially since Timothy and Winifred weren't even married yet. And once they did get married, he would surely treat them even better, so they were very pleased. This used to make Winifred happy, too, but not anymore.She took the medication back to the bedroom and placed it in her bag. Then she stepped into the bathroom.The moment she did so, she heard her mother ask, "Timothy, Winnie lost the baby and had a spontaneous abortion. You're not angry, are you?"Her breath caught

Nothing that came from Heather's mouth surprised Winifred anymore. Her mother had always been this presumptuous. Heather always believed that she was so remarkably capable that she could sort everything out, and she was also so arrogant that she assumed all her decisions to be right.Winifred took a deep breath to steady herself. "I won't make that call."Heather was getting quite pissed off. "I've arranged everything nicely for you, and yet you won't listen. You've really gotten quite stubborn! Are you feeling bolder now that you're with Timothy? If I hadn't convinced you to be with him in the first place, would you even be living such a good life now?"Winifred hadn't agreed to be with Timothy because of Heather's persuasion. She had gotten together with him because she had fallen in love with him.When arguing with parents, it was always the children who ended up on the losing end.If they won the argument, people would call them ungrateful. If they lost, they would be left f

Liam nodded and said, "That's right. We still have Winifred, so we won't bother Wayne. Nothing else matters as long as Rose and Wayne are happy together."Maria sighed in relief. "I'm glad to hear that—you're really easy to talk to. Now that we're done with the living arrangements, we should talk about the wedding gifts then. Rosalie is three months pregnant now, and she—"Winifred interrupted, "We're not done discussing the apartment yet, Mrs. Goodwin. Let's hold off on the wedding gifts for now."Maria asked, "Oh? How are we not done yet?"Winifred replied, "I bought that apartment with my own money four years ago. It's my personal property, and I hadn't agreed to transfer it to anyone."The entire room fell silent. Shortly after, Heather hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you spouting, Winnie, you—""Mom." Winifred looked at her and said, "Please don't make decisions on my behalf. I have the payment records with me—do you or Wayne have them?"Just then, a text from the bank p
