Frank Hudson's voice trembled with excitement over the phone. "Lindy, are you serious? Has your mother's situation been resolved? And that man—""My mom has passed away," Lindsey cut him off. "And that man is useless now."There was a pause on the other end. Then, Frank spoke in a gentle tone, "Lindy, I don't know what happened to you in the past five years, but the most painful moments are often the periods when we have the most growth. Your life is just beginning."After all, how could the life of a prodigy like Lindsey end up tangled in the mess that was Jacob?Perhaps, Lindsey did have some affection for Jacob once. He was handsome, treated her well, and willingly spent money on her mother's medical treatment. What reason did she have to be dissatisfied?However, everything was shattered the day Stephanie returned from abroad. Jacob, who rarely drank alcohol, muttered the truth in a drunken stupor, "Stephie, I missed you so much that it's driving me crazy. If only I hadn't tak

Lindsey had a very long dream. In her dream, Stephanie hadn't yet returned to the country. She and Jacob were still a couple deeply in love. He would take her to hang out with his friends, proudly showing her off like she was his entire world. Jacob would also accompany her to visit Jenny at the hospital. He tried his best to win her mother's favor and cautiously hoped that Jenny would acknowledge him as her son-in-law. He had done so much for her and given her countless memories of heart-pounding moments. Lindsey truly believed they would have a future together. Her dream was finally shattered when she was abruptly woken up by a bucket of ice-cold water dumped over her head. Her thin clothes were completely soaked, and a cold gust of wind pierced her body with unbearable pain. Jacob sat in a chair and looked down at her with a cold gaze. "You should be grateful that Grandpa pulled through. Otherwise, you would've lost your life on the operating table. However, you're going t

The door to Lindsey's hospital room had opened at some point, and Stephanie strolled in leisurely. Her complexion was healthy and rosy. She didn't look at all like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. Lindsey sneered, "The two weeks you spent at the hospital… It was all an act, right?""So what if it was?" she replied smugly. "Jacob would kill or die for me as long as I put on a pitiful act. Very soon, I'll be standing proudly by his side."With that, she threw a plastic bag at Lindsey. Inside was the urn that held Jenny's ashes. Lindsey felt as if her blood had frozen in her veins. She opened the urn with trembling hands, only to find it empty. "What… What did you do? Where are my mother's ashes?"Stephanie gleefully admired the devastated look on Lindsey's face. She said, "By the way, it was my suggestion to have the hospital stop your mother's treatment. See? Jacob could ruthlessly take the life of your closest family with just a single word from me. What

Jacob proposed to Stephanie on the night Lindsey left the villa. His proposal shocked the entire city. The live stream of his proposal was broadcast everywhere on social media and the internet. Countless influencers and celebrities reposted the video with their well-wishes.Under a virtual starry sky, Jacob kneeled on one knee and offered Stephanie an engagement ring with full reverence. His voice shook from nervousness as he said, "Stephie, will you marry me?"The crowd erupted in excitement. Cries urging Stephanie to say yes rose above the applause and floating flower petals. Tears welled up in Stephanie's reddened eyes as she responded gently yet firmly, "Yes, I will."Dozens of drones formed a heart pierced by an arrow in the night sky, while a two-hour-long fireworks show lit up the night. At the same moment, giant screens across every skyscraper in the city began looping the romantic history of Jacob and Stephanie over the past ten years. Every public display of romance

The wedding venue was grandly decorated. Fresh flowers, wine, and a red carpet… Everything was meticulously arranged by Jacob. He stood at the end of the aisle and gazed intently at the doors of the banquet hall, eyes filled with emotion. The doors finally opened wide when the music changed. Stephanie looked beautiful and charming after dressing up and getting her makeup done. She walked toward Jacob with confident steps. He was about to marry his first love and the woman he loved for many years. Together, they would spend the rest of their lives together. However, Jacob felt a strange emptiness inside his heart as he stared at Stephanie's exquisite face. He couldn't help but feel something was off somewhere. In a daze, an image of Lindsey's lively figure flashed before his eyes. She ran up to him with a bright smile and said, "Jacob, will you marry me one day?"…"Jacob."The voice in his memory overlapped with the one before him. At that moment, Stephanie was looking at
