The Dust Has Settled, And Our Debts Repaid의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Brandon suddenly opened the door at the same moment. He smashed a wine glass onto the floor. The glass shards cut my cheek, and blood immediately oozed out. “Aspen, you’re finally going to marry me. Aren’t you happy now?” he glared at me as he said coldly. “Don’t worry, even if we get married, I will not touch you. That seven-year relationship was nothing but a joke!” My knuckles turned white. I slowly removed the glass shards from my face. “Alright, as you wish.”I had no words to say anymore. It was useless trying to convince him. He would not believe me, and he would not look into it either. The next day, I sat by myself in the car and wanted to leave. “Ms. Anderson, are you really not going to wait for Mr. Fuller? Aren’t you going to view wedding dresses together?” “No, thanks.”After I said that, I stepped on the gas and went to the bridal shop. Ten minutes later, the car stopped. When I was about to open the door, the shopkeeper stopped me politely. “Ms. A

After I ended the call, I stared at the ceiling silently. Nine years ago, Holly was killed in that fire. Everyone was affected, and I was the only one without an alibi. The police investigated for an entire night and finally claimed that they suspected that I was behind the fire. The reason they quoted was because of the slot for the best postgraduate programme. I laughed in disbelief, but no one believed me. I had cried, made a scene, and even tried to prove my innocence by attempting suicide, but Brandon stopped all of my attempts. “Aspen, don’t try to use death to gain my sympathy.“I won’t forgive you just because you die, do you understand me? From today onwards, I have nothing to do with you.”From then on, I had completely given up. I went overseas to study for two years. It was until I returned to the country that I learned that I was forced into an arranged marriage with him. Brandon suddenly opened the door to my hospital ward and glared fiercely at me. “W

“Poppy! Where are you now? Are you hurt?” Brandon’s voice was trembling as he asked carefully. “Huh?” Poppy was stunned. “I’m not hurt. I went to a mountain to… prepare gifts for you. There’s no signal up there. That’s why you couldn’t reach me for the whole day.”At that moment, Brandon suddenly froze. He then frantically turned off the remote control and stopped the torture. The currents immediately stopped. I grimaced and looked at him mockingly. “Brandon? Are you alright?” Poppy asked hesitantly. “I’m fine… are you hurt?” Poppy immediately started to sob. “Brandon, in order to pick that flower for you, the rocks cut my legs. I’m bleeding a lot now. I have just gotten them bandaged in the hospital.”Brandon’s expression immediately changed. “Send me your location. I’ll come over now!” After he ended the call, Brandon finally shot me a glance. “I’ve misunderstood you earlier.”He sounded tense, but his eyes were still cold. “But it’s because of you that I del

The next day, Brandon and Poppy went to the city hall to get married. Poppy leaned her head against Brandon’s chest and said sweetly, “That’s great! Brandon, we’ll be a legal couple! We’ll be together forever, right?”“Of course.”Brandon was expressionless. However, he still felt a little troubled. A name kept appearing in his head. He then heard a familiar voice. “Happy marriage to you!” “Thank you!”When Brandon heard that, he immediately turned around and stared intently at that familiar figure. However, he could not see her face, because she was in someone else’s embrace! A suffocating and frantic feeling arose in Brandon’s heart. “Brandon, what are you looking at?” Poppy was a little anxious. That moment, Brandon’s expression sank.He did not speak a word for a long time. “I’m fine.”After they got married, Brandon excused himself by quoting work. “Wait for me at home.” In his office located on the top floor of the tallest building in the city, Brandon’s

“We have an arranged marriage, Aspen. Didn’t I inform you that tomorrow’s our wedding?”Brandon’s eyes were filled with rage. The next second, Samuel kicked Brandon in his abdomen. Samuel frowned and snatched me away from Brandon. “Brandon, I didn’t expect you to be a wife-snatcher! Aspen has already married me, don’t you know that?”Brandon felt his heart go cold. He stared at me, and his lips trembled. “Say that again. Aspen, why did you marry him?”I laughed from the irony. “You promised to marry me for 99 times over these past few months, but you have escaped every single one of them.“The first time, you abandoned me at the beach in my wedding dress for two days without caring about me. “The second time, you switched places with a homeless man. Everyone was throwing their wine at me as they laughed at me.“The third time, someone cut my wedding dress and shared revealing photos of me all over the internet!”I listed out all the times I was stood up and humiliated
