Chapter 1

After watching my trending topic soar to the top of the list, I happily prepared to sleep.Within half an hour, I heard Cade's hurried, heavy footsteps approaching."Jodi! Is this how you're getting back at me? Who is that man?"A picture was thrown at my face.Half the picture was my suggestive bedroom photo, while the other half was a passionate shot of Cade pinning Summer Langford against a window.This was exactly the trending news I had the paparazzi release.[Finley Couple Reaches New Agreement To Each Have Their Own Fun]I sat on the edge of the bed, casually tightening my nightgown around myself."Isn't this exactly what you wanted? The one thing you shouldn't have done is to embarrass me by fooling around with my father’s illegitimate daughter!"Cade's breath hitched. Instead of responding to my words, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is he?""You don't need to know. It's only fair."Once upon a time, I swore to unearth every detail about his lovers.I was youn

Chapter 2

After hanging up, the tears that had been held back finally slid down my cheeks.I remember when Cade insisted on marrying me, the whole world opposed it.His parents disapproved of my ordinary background, and the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce almost blacklisted him from the industry.But he withstood all that pressure and gave me a grand wedding.Everyone said I must be the happiest woman in the city.Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one enamored with this godlike man.On our wedding night, he received a phone call and never came back.I sat on the bed until dawn, not sleeping a wink.In the early morning, he came back drunk.He calmly stroked my head and said, "You know what's the most adorable thing about you? It's that you're sensible enough not to cause trouble. The Finley family needs a mistress like you."At that moment, the anger that had welled up in my heart was suddenly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.I learned to be obedient, to not argue, and to be

Chapter 3

Every word Cade spoke was so clear yet so painful.Everyone hid the truth about my mother's death from me, including Cade, whom I trusted unconditionally.Back then, I ran to the police station in the rain, and Cade got into a car accident while chasing after me.He climbed out of the car with difficulty, gripped my ankle with a bloody hand, and said, "Jodi, go home. Leave the rest to me."I naively believed he would seek justice for my mother and me, because I never believed that my mother would abandon me.But to my dismay, both my father and my husband betrayed me.The next day, I appeared at Summer's birthday party in a disheveled state.Summer intimately held Cade's arm while enthusiastically showing off the heirloom jade ring he gave her, as if she truly was Cade's wife.When I entered, everyone's eyes fell on me, some with disdain, others with mockery.Cade looked relaxed, assuming I was going to beg for forgiveness like before. He spread his arms towards me.Unfortuna

I looked up in shock.I met his merciless gaze and saw the threat in his eyes.His features remained gentle, but they no longer resembled the face of the deeply affectionate man I remembered from the past.I stared at him stubbornly, my eyes bloodshot."I won't!"To my surprise, when I said that, he pulled out a remote control from his pocket."There's a bomb buried beneath the cemetery, Jodi. Don't force me."He called my name, but it sounded more like the devil's whisper.So he was prepared all along. To protect Summer, he was always ready to threaten me with the one thing I truly cared about.That cemetery was the only thing I had left in this world. I couldn't bear to watch my mother's soul scatter.I swallowed the blood in my throat and pushed him away, then knelt in front of Summer."Summer, my mother and I have done you wrong. I. AM. SORRY!"I looked up at Summer's triumphant face, then at Cade."Is this apology good enough?"Cade's chest rose and fell heavily for

Chapter 5

Cade stood rooted to the spot, stunned by the scene before him.The solemn cemetery was now completely covered in exploded dirt."H-how could this happen?"He only pulled out the remote to scare Jodi. He never actually intended to press it.Jodi's mother's tombstone was blown to pieces, and the only portrait of her was buried in the dirt.The cemetery manager ran up to him."Mr. Finley, I don't know what happened. It was already like this when I got here."Cade clenched his fists in anger."You can't do anything right. Get out of my sight!"He knew very well that this cemetery was more precious to Jodi than her own life.Her mother's passing was a wound that she would carry forever.Because he knew this, he never thought of actually detonating the bomb.It was just a precaution.His gaze fell on a pool of blood on the ground.Around it, there were some scattered items.He recognized those items as Jodi's.Seeing the glaring blood on the ground, he suddenly recalled that

Cade took the folder suspiciously and opened it.The words that came into view made his heart race."Is this… a divorce agreement?"He quickly flipped to the last page and was stunned to find Jodi's signature."How could she sign this? That's impossible!"Cade recalled that night when he received an anonymous text message."Bro, your wife is amazing. Let me know when you're getting a divorce."At the time, he was in Summer's bed, accumulating materials for the paparazzi.That text made him furious.In this city, who would have the audacity to send him a text like that?Then, he received the photo of Jodi on the bed.At that moment, he realized that he actually did care about Jodi.He flew into a frenzy and rushed home to confront her.The messy sheets and the blood on the bed made him completely lose control.He said they could "each have their own fun," but only when it really happened to him did he realize how painful it felt.In a fit of anger, he sent Jodi a divorce

Chapter 7

When I opened my eyes again, Sam Truman was sitting at my bedside."You're finally awake."When I was rescued at the cemetery, I had faintly caught a whiff of the unique jasmine fragrance on him.Once, Sam was my neighbor. He was like an older brother to me. He planted jasmines with me and grew up with me.And now, years later, he saved me from peril.Sam asked hesitantly, "That trending news about you a few days ago… was it true?"I smiled helplessly."You know me, I won't degrade myself for a man."Perhaps when I took that fake photo, I did have the thought of testing Cade.Did he care about me? Would he be jealous?But I forgot that, no matter how much he cared about me, his heart would still have room for other women.I didn't want to be stupid anymore.Hearing this, Sam looked at me with a complicated expression and tucked some stray hairs behind my ear."Maybe we can make it real?"I thought Sam was just joking. I couldn't believe he actually uploaded an intimate ph

Chapter 8

My words shook Cade.Over the years, he had messed around with countless women.My reaction was to resent those women who brazenly stole my husband.I felt they humiliated me and made me feel worthless.But now I finally understood, the truly despicable person was Cade.He not only betrayed my love, but also my unconditional trust.Cade frowned, unable to believe what he was hearing."Jodi, you never used to say things like that. Don't you see? The one I truly love is you. I was just fooling around with the other women."I stared into his pathetic eyes."Cade, your love is so cheap."After saying that, I immediately closed the door.Cade shouted my name outside, pleading with me in various ways.But they were nothing more than noise to my ears.When the hospital sent me a notification informing me that my father was in critical condition, I decided to go see him after all.My father lay in bed, his hair completely gray, and he spoke incoherently."Jodi… I'm sorry. Don't
