Chapter 1

Cody was stunned at first, but he then smiled whimsically."Are you taking out your anger on me because it didn't snow today, so you feel embarrassed?""I’m serious, I want a divorce," I emphasized, word by word.Sensing the abnormality in my voice, the nasty smile on the man's face gradually faded.Even the maid serving him tea didn’t dare to move.After a few seconds of silence, Cody broke it with a cold scoff."Jenny, I thought you were used to it by now. You don’t want a repeat of what happened three years ago, do you?"My mind drifted back to the incident three years ago.In front of the massive screen, I was reporting clear weather across the city, reminding the citizens to apply sunscreen. Meanwhile, Cody was spending a fortune on artificial rain to please a nightclub hostess.Dark clouds filled the sky, and I became the most pathetic weather queen in the city.My boss scolded me so harshly I couldn't lift my head. I received the first fine of my career.I caused quit

Chapter 2

After receiving his confident response, I hung up. I felt as if my heart had been hollowed out.Everyone in the city knew that I changed careers to become a weather forecaster just so I could marry Cody.My mother-in-law initially looked down on me, claiming a lawyer was just someone who makes a living with words.Without a second thought, Cody made me a famous presenter. I received more awards than I could count.But at the peak of my career, he orchestrated an artificial rain to please a nightclub hostess.I fell from grace while he mockingly whispered in my ear, "Jealous? Don't be. I went to even greater lengths when I pursued you. Why can't I make other women smile too?"I finally understood. Once I was his, I became something that he could trample at will.That night, my boss urgently called me in.I quickly prepared my script and was about to enter the studio when Sydney Swain approached me."Jenny, Cody wants me to try reporting the weather. You don’t mind, do you?"Sh

Instantly, my hair stood on end, shock coursing through me.The recording date was the same day my mother got into an accident.Sydney was the culprit, and my husband was her accomplice.I turned around unsteadily and found Cody standing right behind me."Are you investigating me?" His brows were deeply furrowed, his expression complex but devoid of guilt."So it's true?"How I wished he would tell me that the audio was fake!Cody avoided my eyes and remained silent.The last bit of hope in my heart shattered.As I was about to lose control, he suddenly hugged me, his soft voice uttering the cruelest words,"Jenny, let bygones be bygones. Your mother is still alive. Sydney has a bright future ahead of her."I stared at him in shock, feeling like a fish bone was stuck in my throat.On that stormy night, I rushed to the scene of the accident and tried to charge past the barricades barefoot, but Cody restrained me in his arms.He soothed me in a trembling voice, "Jenny, I'm he

My heart raced. Without thinking, I rushed to the award ceremony as fast as I could.When I arrived, Cody was about to present the trophy to Sydney, who was clad in a custom-made luxury gown. They looked like the perfect couple.I appeared with no makeup and disheveled hair, incongruent with the solemn and elegant atmosphere.Cody smiled on stage. He thought I regretted my decision already and had come to publicly beg for reconciliation.Unfortunately, he was about to be disappointed.Under the contemptuous gazes of the crowd, I approached Sydney with heavy steps, my eyes bloodshot."What did you do to my mother? Don't you dare touch her!"My voice was trembling, and I looked frightening.The crowd mocked and ridiculed me. Cody felt embarrassed. He pushed me back harshly, causing me to stagger."Jenny, you're scaring Sydney!"I stumbled off the stage, my insides almost shattering from the fall. Cody unconsciously took a step forward, and Sydney quickly ran down the stag

"Help! Help!"Guests at the venue scattered in panic.Cody seemed stunned."Wait, didn't Jenny get into that car just now?"Realizing that, Cody frantically tried to rush into the fire.Flames soared high and thick smoke barreled toward him, forcing him back."Jenny!"The car was completely engulfed in flames. He stared intently at the wreckage, but there was no sign of Jenny.Sydney pulled him to safety while coughing incessantly."Cody, the firefighters are already here. Jenny will be alright."But the fire burned even brighter, and Cody's heart sank.Why did Jenny rush into that car? How did it suddenly explode?In the glow of the fire, he vaguely recognized the burning car."Sydney, isn't that your old car?"Sydney's eyes darted around anxiously, and she stammered, "I think it just looks similar. It's a pretty common model. It's just a coincidence. Let's get out of here, the smoke is giving me a headache."Cody was pulled into his car, but his eyes remained fixed on

Cody quickly rushed back to the scene. Looking at the charred remains before him, he felt as if the whole world was spinning."Who... who is this?"The body had been burned beyond recognition, a gruesome sight.The firefighter replied, "You said your wife got into the car. We suspect it's her, but we need to do further testing."Cody's mind instantly went blank.She was alive and kicking not long ago and was even energetic enough to cause him all kind of trouble, but now...Cody recklessly charged forward but was restrained by the staff."Mr. Harper, please calm down. We'll take the corpse back for testing immediately."Cody leaned weakly against the wall."No, this can't be true!"He roared madly, then squatted on the ground and cried in despair.Over the years, Jenny had always been his pride and joy.From a lawyer, she had transformed into the queen of weather forecasting, and later won the June Bacon-Bercey Award for five consecutive years with her own ability.She use

"Cody..." Sydney covered her face in disbelief.The passers-by stopped to watch.Cody glared at her fiercely, his eyes bloodshot. "You actually kidnapped Jenny's mother? Are you out of your mind?!"The onlookers gasped.Sydney panicked, her words stumbling, "I-I didn't! I wouldn't dare to touch her mother! You must be mistaken!"Cody threw the photo of the license plate at her."Take a look for yourself! I've already disposed of the car. Who else could have bought it back? Sydney, was the incident three years ago also intentional?"The woman grabbed him in a panic, her eyes filled with tears: "Cody, don't tell anyone, okay? Didn't you say that it's all in the past? Let's never mention it again. I don't want to be kicked out of the TV station..."Hearing those selfish words, Cody closed his eyes in despair.Back then, Sydney had pleaded in a similar pitiful manner, begging him to save her.She kept saying that she didn't do it on purpose, and that she only hit Jenny's mother b

Chapter 8

The moment the car exploded, Steven Barnes rushed out and shielded me in his arms.Although I was saved, watching the car explode with my own eyes shattered my heart.The man beside me kept comforting me in a low voice, holding me tightly to stop me from going crazy.After that day, I slept for three days and three nights, as if trying to escape reality.But I had to face it eventually.I composed myself and prepared my mother's funeral.It wasn't until after she was buried that I broke down and cried."I'm so useless..."Steven patted my shoulder gently. "Jenny, it's not your fault.""It's Cody Harper's fault. It's Sydney Swain's fault. It's definitely not your fault."When I learned that Sydney had kidnapped my mother, I wished more than anything that Cody would be on my side. I wish he would at least believe me instead of repeatedly helping the evildoer.So, when the car exploded, all my expectations for Cody turned to ashes.As I was leaving the cemetery, I instructed t

Those words left Cody wide-eyed in disbelief."Jenny! I only signed the divorce agreement on impulse. It doesn't count! I don't believe you were serious!"Of course he was acting on impulse, but it also showed how arrogant he had become.After all, for the past five years, I had loved him from a position of utmost humility.It didn't matter if he had lovers or if he humiliated me in public, I always forgave him.Even when it felt like my heart was being ripped apart and I hated myself for forgiving him, I still did.So, he had grown used to my obedience.Even the maids at home didn't believe I would leave him, as they thought that without Cody, I would be nothing. Besides, I loved him too much. Cody naturally thought so too.Hearing him say that made me clench my fists."When you helped Sydney hurt my mother, you should have known this day would come, especially now that my mother is dead!"A hint of guilt flashed in Cody's eyes. He rushed forward and held my shoulders."J

Chapter 10

Before the trial, I took every measure to avoid Cody.He had significant influence in the city, so I could run into his eyes anywhere.Therefore, I temporarily moved in with Steven. With Steven's reputation in the legal field, no one would dare to act rashly.After two days of calm, the first person to visit me was surprisingly Sydney.As soon as I opened the door, she charge at me like a lunatic."Jenny! You have some nerve. How dare you report the case? Cody won't stay mad at me forever. He wouldn't really abandon me. You're done for!"Without hesitation, I gave her a hard slap on the face.She stood in shock, unable to close her mouth."You... you actually dare to hit me?"I slapped her again."What makes you think I wouldn't dare to hit you? What makes you think I would be afraid of Cody?"At first, I thought she was just one of Cody's many lovers.I didn't take her seriously, nor did I hate her that much.But when I discovered she was the culprit who ran over my mothe
