”Georgina, after we sign the divorce papers tomorrow, I'll temporarily move in with Lucia. I promise, once the show finishes filming, we'll remarry."I ignored him and continued packing my suitcase.A flash of worry crossed his eyes. "Did you hear what I said?"I responded with a cold "Yeah.""Then why are you packing?""Georgina, I promise this is the last time. I won't let her make you unhappy again, okay?"I stopped what I was doing and met his gaze."Marcus, you know you've made me unhappy many times, right? Have you truly loved me all these years?"He placed his hands gently on my shoulders, his thumbs making small, soothing circles."I love you. I've loved you since I first saw you seven years ago at that cafe. That has never changed and never will."But Lucia is struggling as a single mother. I just want to help her. When we divorced, I promised to always treat her like family."I smiled bitterly. I'd heard these exact words countless times. Though I knew the answer w

Later, when his company grew and he made a lot of money, he never mentioned buying me a car again.Looking back now, if he truly loved me, how could he have ignored my needs?Today I was going to Marcus's company to resign.Just as I pulled into the parking lot, I saw the film crew setting up for a shoot.Marcus was dressed impeccably, standing beside Lucia and her son Morris. The three of them looked like such a natural, happy family.When my car drove in, it immediately caught everyone's attention.Someone exclaimed, "Mr. Peterson, your company is really wealthy if employees drive such nice cars to work!"All eyes turned toward me.I calmly got out of the car and walked straight up to the three of them.Lucia's eyes were filled with jealousy.Marcus's expression changed as he lowered his voice to tell me, "Why are you here? The film crew is still around. Whatever it is, can't it wait until they leave?"I smiled and said loudly, "Mr. Peterson, I'm here to resign."—-Marc

"Marcus, I've known you for so many years. I never imagined you could be this stupid!"If I'd known it would be like this, all the feelings I've invested would have been better off thrown to the dogs!"Marcus sighed on the other end."Georgina, don't say things out of anger. As long as you're willing to return the car and apologize to me and Lucia, I'll treat you the same as before.”I cried out in surprise, ”What? Who does she think she is? Why should I apologize to her?""Georgina, please stop making trouble, okay? Do you know how embarrassed she was when you suddenly showed up yesterday? If she hadn't quickly made up that story, the fact that you and I were married would have been exposed. Then she would have been criticized for breaking up someone's family. Do you know how important reputation is for a celebrity?"And your behavior yesterday made Morris cry. You need to take responsibility. Be good and come apologize to them."Furious, I shouted into the phone, "She's afraid

Lucia really knew how to play her cards well. Now that the person who lost the money wasn't pursuing the matter, I had no reason to call the police.I couldn't be bothered to argue with them anymore. I went upstairs, had Marcus process my resignation paperwork, and then left with Henry.On the way, Henry asked me, "Do you want me to terminate all our partnerships with them?"I shook my head, "Help me investigate the biological relationship between Morris and Marcus. If they're not related, I'll consider it my final act of mercy toward him. If they are, then wait for my signal.""Okay.""By the way, do you still stand by what you said last night?"I looked at him suspiciously, "What? What did I say?""You really don't remember anything?"Seeing my completely confused expression, his face turned melancholy, but he didn't say anything more.Three days later, Henry came to see me with a report.Although I had mentally prepared myself, my hands still trembled as I opened it.When

"Great! How could such an interesting game not include me!"Three days later, my father hosted a grand banquet to announce my identity to the community.The event was attended by prominent figures from various fields, and even the mainstream media was present.Besides these guests, Officer Watson was there too—he had never given up helping my parents search for me all these years.My parents were surrounded by people, smiling so much they couldn't close their mouths.Just as everyone was coming forward to offer congratulations, a discordant voice emerged from the crowd.It was Marcus.Normally, someone of his modest status wouldn't be able to get into such a gathering, but I had deliberately arranged for an invitation to be sold to him.I knew he was desperate now, and connecting with Riverside City's wealthiest family would be his last resort.With a face full of forced smiles, he raised his glass to my parents and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."My father frowned
