Chapter 1

Amid the guests' astonished gazes, I replied with a smile, "You two siblings have such a deep bond; of course I have no objections."Jason seemed taken aback for a moment. He then playfully grabbed Wendy's butt with a chuckle."See, Wendy? I told you Leslie is a generous man. From now on... I'll be the one taking care of you.""Stop it."Wendy swatted his hand away with a laugh, then turned to me."Jason just likes to joke. You're not mad, are you? Hurry up and give me the ring."Despite her eagerness, I simply grabbed a glass of wine and splashed it all over her face."Is this funny to you?"The wine dripped from her face onto her pristine wedding dress and ruined her perfect makeup."What the heck are you doing?!"Jason frantically dashed forward to clean Wendy off while glaring at me.Ignoring Wendy's distressed look, I chuckled coldly and threw the ring away."What the heck am I doing? I'm canceling the wedding to make way for you two lovebirds!"Then, I turned around

Chapter 2

Wendy and I dated for five years, but I was never the most important person to her even though I had obediently complied with her every wish and had even fractured three ribs to protect her during an earthquake.At the time, she cried and swore to me that she would love me forever and that no one was more important to her… But right after that, she left me alone in the hospital bed to comfort Jason, who had twisted his ankle.During the month or so I spent alone recovering, she went on a holiday trip with Jason. She did not even send me a text to ask how I was doing.At that time, blinded by love, I turned a blind eye to the ridicule and mockery, stubbornly believing that we would have a happy ending.But on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, reality dealt me a heavy blow.Recalling Jason's triumphant expression, my stomach churned.But I couldn't throw up, only managing a pathetic dry heave.Just then, my assistant called."Mr. Yates, because you called off

Chapter 3

She knew the company was the only thing my parents left me, but in order to make Jason feel better, she wouldn't even hesitate to frame me and send me to jail.What a touching love story.My furious face made Wendy laugh."Humiliating, isn't it? All these years, when I was being humble and submissive in front of you, this was how I felt! Now, you get to experience it too!"As I looked coldly at Wendy, the last trace of hope in my heart faded.The air of superiority she currently put on was a stark contrast to the humble and pleading look she had when she sought my help all those years ago.The love I had poured into her over the years had transformed her from someone weak and insecure into a bold and proud person.Little did I know, all she felt for me was endless resentment.It was said that the first thing a cripple would do upon recovering was to throw away their crutches. I, the person who had witnessed her most embarrassing moments, should have exited the stage long ago.

Smack!With a single slap, I knocked Wendy to the floor, then glared at her with bloodshot eyes."You think you can just take what belongs to me and use it as you please? Dream on!"Wendy stood up holding her face and looked at me with contempt."All you can do now is throw a tantrum. Excuse me, I have a press conference to attend with my husband, I don't have time to waste on you."Her eyes were full of disdain, as if she couldn't even stand looking at me for one more second.Jason hurried over and looked at me smugly."Don't mind him, Wendy. Of course he would be mad. His company is about to go bankrupt and his only family member is in critical condition. How is he supposed to live when he's broke and all alone?"He then turned to me and said, "Tell you what, I'll show you some kindness. I'll let you clean our mansion. At least you won't starve."I gave Jason a cold smirk, then ran up and punched him in the stomach.Did he really think I wouldn’t notice his little trick?J

Chapter 5

The live broadcast was abruptly interrupted, and an enraged Wendy rushed to the hospital. There, she held her phone up and confronted me."You're the biggest shareholder whose identity remained hidden all this time?!"I replied calmly, "You're only half right. To be precise, it's my grandfather. I'm just managing on his behalf. I told you you'd regret it. It's your fault for ignoring my warning and forcing me to take action."My grandfather bought those shares when the Sanders Group expanded the company's scale. I had to beg him for a day and a night before he agreed to invest.I never intentionally hid it from her. If she had been paying attention to the company's finances, she would have found out long ago.I had planned to tell her this good news and give her the shares, which were worth billions, after we got married.Who could have known that she would give me such a big "surprise" on our wedding day?Consider this the return gift.Wendy glared at me with eyes full of frus

Chapter 6

I still remember the day I rejected Summer. She said to me with a smile, "It's okay, I'll stay by your side as a friend. All I want is for you to be happy!"Since then, we had maintained our boundaries as friends while tacitly reducing our interactions.If it weren't for this sudden incident, we might have gradually drifted apart.Because I remained silent for so long, Summer laughed awkwardly."I'm just kidding, don't be so serious…""Okay, I'm yours!"My words made her freeze. Then, she asked incredulously, "What… what do you mean?"With a smile, I said seriously, "Hello, my fiancée. Should we get to know each other again?"I heard a crash from the other end of the phone, like a fruit plate dropping onto the floor.Summer replied with a stammer, "Okay… okay! I'll... I'll go tell my family right now. You better be mentally prepared."Before I could respond, she already hung up.I had a dreamless night. The next morning, just as I was about to head out to meet Summer's paren

Chapter 7

With teary eyes, Wendy stared at me pitifully. She bit her lip and fell silent.Summer couldn't help but smile because I defended her."Wendy, aren't you embarrassed to wear something like this? You look so slutty."Only then did I realize that Wendy was wearing a white dress, exactly like the one she wore when we first met. The only difference was that this one was made of very thin material and would tear easily.Wendy looked at me and seemed like she wanted to say something, but Summer blocked my gaze."Wendy, if you're really that desperate, just go up to any guy on the street to satisfy yourself, don't come to my house. Or, maybe you could pay your debts with your body. Who knows, maybe you can save the Sanders Group doing that."Mary's eyes lit up at this suggestion, and she quickly tugged at Wendy."What a brilliant idea, Ms. Norris! I now offer her to Leslie! I hope you can show mercy and spare the Sanders family, Leslie!"Summer was taken aback. She shot me a glare, lo

"The moment I found out, I knew something like this would happen. I just didn't expect you to witness it too."Summer's eyes widened in shock. She leaned in and asked cautiously, "So you're saying the two siblings have been sleeping together for a while?"I raised my eyebrows and nodded."According to my investigation, they've been sleeping together since they were minors. Wendy already had two abortions. Of course, they kept their parents in the dark, or news would have gotten out a long time ago."To be honest, I felt disgusted when I found out, but now, I was already numb to it.Summer sensed the topic was veering out of control and quickly said with a smile."I have some good news. Because you managed to retrieve the immunity injection in time yesterday, your grandfather's condition has improved significantly. He can keep you company for another decade without any issues."I hugged Summer, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably, unable to suppress my joy.God knows how

Chapter 9

"I want to redo the wedding. Would you still be my groom?"I found the sight of her tear-stained face laughable."Have you gone mad? If you have, go see a psychiatrist, don't come here and embarrass yourself. Do you really think I wouldn't find out about all the things you did outside, you dirty wench?!"Hearing that, Wendy's expression became a bit awkward, but she still stubbornly said, "Honey, I know you don't like Summer; otherwise, you would have been with her a long time ago! You're just using her to provoke me into coming back, right? Well, you've achieved your goal. Summer can scram now!"I scoffed at the jealousy I saw in her eyes."Go look into a mirror and see what you look like now. You're worse than Summer in every way! Stop being so self-conceited and get lost!"Seeing that my attitude was firm, Wendy got on her knees, hugged my leg and desperately begged."Leslie, I've realized my mistake! Jason is a real scumbag! He… he actually made me sleep with other people fo
