Chapter 1

I returned home in a daze, only to hear cheerful laughter coming from inside.Jared Hunt saw me and immediately wiped the smile from his face, giving me a cold, indifferent look. "Since you're back, get dinner ready. Everyone's waiting."He didn't ask why I was late, nor did he mention the travel list I had handed in.When Jared first came to the countryside, he fell for me at first sight. He always stammered and fumbled his words whenever we spoke. I hadn't planned on getting involved with anyone, but Jared kept blushing and following after me. Over time, I let my guard down and agreed to be with him.When we first got married, Jared promised that one day, he would take me back to Belmont and show me the city where he grew up.Somewhere along the way, I fell more deeply in love, but Jared began to pull away.Sabrina Hayes stepped out of Jared's room, dressed in the very wedding dress I had cherished for years.Her smiling eyes curved into crescents, carrying the effortless beau

That night, I went on strike and refused to cook.Jared didn't bother to coax me. He just took Sabrina and Jackson out to eat. They didn't come back until late, leaving me no opportunity to question him about the travel list.By morning, word had spread through the village that Jared was set to be promoted to Belmont and that Jackson and I would be going with him.I was still half-asleep when a deafening slam of the door pulled me fully awake. Jared seized me and dragged me out of bed."Kylie Summer, do you enjoy making things difficult for me?"My head spun. I had no idea what was happening."I don't know who told you about Belmont, but I'm telling you now—your name isn't on the list! Stop dreaming," he barked.I let out a cold laugh. "So? What exactly are you trying to say to me?"He sneered. "Don't act innocent. You're spreading rumors just to get your name on the list, aren't you? You're nothing but a country bumpkin. Look at yourself—do you really think you deserve to go t

Jared and Jackson started giving me the cold shoulder. In the past, I would have immediately blamed myself, humbled myself, and tried to win them back. But now, I refused to play along. I hadn't done anything wrong. They were only hoping their cold attitude would make me give in.Eventually, Jackson couldn't hold back and shyly came to me. "Mommy, I finally learned the Pythagorean theorem."His eager expression made me feel oddly uninterested. Even when I found Jackson clumsy, I used to pretend not to understand, let him explain, and shower him with praise. He would always sigh and mutter, "It's all knowledge. You wouldn't understand it anyway."After all those pep talks, he actually thought he was a genius. The Pythagorean theorem was easy—I had learned it back when I was a toddler.Jackson was approaching eight years old and still only learning it, but he strutted around as though he had accomplished something incredible.I had no time for flattery, so I said lightly, "Good job.

For the next few days, we ignored each other completely, treating each other with polite distance. One morning, I stayed in my room, sorting through my old research notes.Since marriage, I had drifted back into family life, leaving my research behind and dedicating myself to my husband and son. The organization had hidden my identity while I was in the countryside, and I made sure to keep a low profile. Neither the villagers nor even my family knew who I really was.When Jared barged into the room, I frowned.Before I had a chance to speak, he launched into a tirade. "Kylie! How can you be so vicious? What do you have against me? Sabrina is innocent. Why are you spreading rumors in the village, calling her a homewrecker and claiming she stole your chance to go to Belmont? "Do you know how humiliating these lies are for a woman?"He charged at me like a rabid dog, spewing spittle across my face.I stepped back in disgust and said, "Don't accuse me. How can you be so sure it wa

Jared blinked, thinking his eyes were deceiving him when he saw me at the train station. He knew me well enough to expect a scene the moment he learned he was buying tickets to Belmont.When the woman who looked like me stepped onto the train without a single glance back, he realized it wasn't me. I would never be that cold.With the tickets secured, he was ready to leave the dull, lifeless village with Sabrina and Jackson, finally free of me and my suffocating country bumpkin charm. Still, the idea of leaving me behind made him hesitate more than he expected.Even so, he felt I had gone too far this time and was compelled to teach me a lesson. At the same time, he kept telling himself that I acted that way out of love. My jealousy and irrationality stemmed from my desire to stay by his side.Jared decided it would be best to be a little kinder to me before he left. After all, we had been married for years. On top of that, I had given him a child and done everything I could for the

At the same time, my status was rising along with my achievements, and the research community was starting to accept me again. At a high-tech symposium attended by many leading figures in the field, I was invited as the youngest female professor at the Science Academy to deliver the opening report.I had never been fond of heavy makeup, so I kept it light and dressed simply. The long hours in the lab, shielded from hard physical labor and the sun, had smoothed out some of the fine lines on my face, making me look noticeably younger.When I arrived at the venue, the symposium hadn't started yet, so I went straight to the refreshment area. To my surprise, I ran into Jared and Sabrina. Dressed in their finest and linking arms, they looked as though they had stepped straight out of a gala rather than a symposium.Sabrina was only mildly surprised, but Jared's reaction was a shock. The moment he saw me, his face went pale. I tried to turn away to avoid trouble, but he called out urgent

My laugh drew an immediate scowl from Jared. He frowned and barked, "What are you laughing at? Are you mocking Professor Summer? You're not even in her league!"Sabrina immediately joined the scolding, speaking loudly as though the entire room needed to hear. "How dare you disrespect Professor Summer! She's a leading authority in our industry and an inspiration to the nation!"Their scolding immediately drew the attention of nearby attendees, most of whom had no idea what was going on. Whispers of disapproval spread quickly, and a few even suggested I be removed.I didn't flinch.Just as Jared lunged toward me, a symposium staffer came sprinting over, shouting, "Professor Summer! Why are you still here? The symposium is about to begin, and everyone is waiting for your opening speech!"Jared froze mid-grab. His eyes widened in shock, and he staggered back a few steps."Professor Summer?"He laughed awkwardly, shaking his head. "No, that's impossible. You must have the wrong perso

I could only feel embarrassed for Jared and turned to walk away.Sabrina couldn't stand it either. She ran over and grabbed him. "Jared, Kylie's already gone. She doesn't care about you at all. Otherwise, why wouldn't she have told you she's Professor Summer? It's not like she wanted to hide it."For the first time, Jared lost his patience with her and snapped, "Step aside! She's my wife. How could she not care about me?"He stared at me as I walked away. "Kylie, I know it was my mistake not putting your name on the Belmont guest list, but that was all Sabrina's idea! She said you're used to the countryside and might not adjust well to life in Belmont. I weighed everything and decided not to bring you. "But look—you came anyway. The three of us can be together again. Jackson has been missing you so much. He keeps writing you letters."Jared was trying to guilt me with family ties, shifting all the blame onto Sabrina. Clearly, Sabrina wasn't someone easy to push around if she coul

Chapter 9

My words left Jared frozen on the spot. He could no longer keep up the polite facade, and rage immediately took over. "Kylie! Have I been too lenient with you? How dare you talk about divorcing me!"Jared grabbed my collar and raised his hand to strike me.I was no longer the weak Kylie who had once been powerless to resist. I didn't know where the strength came from, but I kicked him hard and grabbed the display stand nearby, smashing it down on his head.Jared released my collar and clutched his forehead, screaming in pain as blood slowly seeped through his fingers. "You bitch! Kylie, how dare you hit me…"The instant I saw blood, fear rushed over me. I worried I had seriously hurt him and would be forced to take care of him for the rest of my life. Then, he started cursing at full volume, and I knew he was fine.Owen had been looking for me for a long time. He had only turned away to chat with someone, and I was gone. When he found us, he saw Jared clutching his head and stag

Chapter 10

A week later, the press conference was held as scheduled. I stood on the stage, facing the reporters below and Jared, who looked like a petty villain finally tasting success. I spoke calmly, "Everything that Mr. Hunt accused me of is true."My admission sent shockwaves through the room.The reporters swarmed like hawks on prey, snapping photos as if there were no limit to their film."But…" I continued, and the next second, Jared's smug smile froze on his face."While these things are true, the person who committed the violence was not me—it was Jared who did it to me," I said.I held up the Belmont accompanying family list he had submitted, along with timestamps showing when Owen filed my application and purchased my ticket. Anyone looking closely could see that he had filed his list well before my ticket purchase, back when we were still married, and had swapped my name for Sabrina's.In a rage, Jared made a dash for the stage, but the security I had stationed there in advanc
