Chapter 1

I froze and turned around slowly. Right before my eyes were a few familiar faces. They were all from my university. The man at the center was dressed in a suit and had a frigid gaze. The air of superiority oozed out of every single pore of his body. Even after five years, I still recognized him immediately. Clark Stane. The silence hung in the air for a while, but in the next second, my former university mates started talking. “Holy crap, it really is Yvonne? What’s up with her clothes?”“Are her Hermes handbag and Patek Philippe watch fake? How could she possibly buy them?”“She’s pretending to be rich in front of her ex, only to discover that this is his law firm. I’m going to die.”Chuckles filled the room, but I was already used to this. During our university days, they always surrounded Clark while they watched me make a fool of myself. Back then, practically everyone in the university knew that I liked Clark. I brought him breakfast every day, waited for hi

Chapter 2

Then, it was followed by several seconds of silence. Clark snickered as if he had heard a joke. “Yvonne, use your head before lying. Would you even believe in your own deranged ramblings?”My university mates were also working in his law firm, so they continued fanning the flames. “That’s right. You merely rented a car and hired an actor to play along with you. Do you believe you’ve actually turned yourself into a rich woman?”They started chuckling. “That scared me. I really thought she married a good man.”“I think she just got herself a rich, old man.”I trembled in rage and was about to say something when I heard a screech. “Yvonne!”I heard the sound of high heels clacking against the floor. In the next second, I felt a slap on my face. Smack!My head snapped to the side, and my ears rang. Samantha was fuming in front of me and grabbed my collar. “How dare you still come and see Clark?! We’re already engaged! How dare you still bother him?!”I finally realized

Chapter 3

A clear handprint soon appeared on Clark’s face. He did not react, but Samantha went berserk.“Yvonne!” she screeched, grabbed the coffee beside her, and threw it at me. Instinctively, I brought my hand up to shield my face. The burning liquid splashed my entire arm.Burning pain erupted through my entire body. It hurt so much that my face turned pale. My arm quickly turned red, and I even got blisters. With bloodshot eyes, Samantha continued yelling, “You could hit me, but how could you hit my fiance? Who do you think you are?!”The onlookers immediately surrounded us. “My goodness, she drove Samantha to such desperation…”“She deserves this. She’s the one who hit him first.”“That’s right. Clark is just too good-tempered. I would have called the police long ago.”I trembled in pain but continued glaring at her. “You hurt me on purpose. I’m going to call the police.”Samantha’s expression changed, but soon, Clark grabbed my wrist. He looked down at my burnt arm and frow

Chapter 4

I rushed to the old city area in a frenzy. All that remained in my head was one single thought. My grandmother’s heart was weak. She could not handle shocks. As I ran up, I saw red paint sprayed all over the walls. [Die, cheater!][Your entire family should die, witch!][Shameless!]There were even funeral wreaths strewn all over the door. A number of neighbors stood at the stairwell and were talking in whispers. When I opened the door and walked in, I saw my favorite stew in the kitchen. The familiar scent was in the air, but my grandmother had collapsed at the kitchen door. She was motionless. “Grandma!”I ran over to her, but my hands trembled so much that I was almost unable to pick her up. My grandmother’s face was pale, and she was unconscious. But all the onlookers refused to help and only criticized me. I gritted my teeth, carried my unconscious grandmother downstairs and brought her to the hospital. The light stating that the emergency room was occupied

Chapter 5

I sat alone in the hospital corridor and did not move for a long time. My family had left one after another, yet the people who got them killed were still alive. They were even living good lives while they stood above other people. Why? How could they?!I cried at the top of my lungs and gritted my teeth in hate. In the end, I could not bear it anymore and rushed into the VIP ward. I needed them to answer to this!But before I got closer, I heard Gary York’s voice. He was Samantha’s father. “Clark, you’ve worked hard over the years. If you hadn’t stayed with Samantha, we wouldn’t have known what to do.”Then, I heard Clark. “Isaac died to save me, and because of her brother’s death, Samantha got bipolar disorder and has been emotionally volatile. It’s only right for me to take care of her for life.”I was stunned. So, that was how it was. It was no wonder that Clark always protected Samantha no matter what she did, even after so many years. But why did my family have to die

Chapter 6

Clark stared at me intently. Emotions I could not read surged in his eyes. “What did you just say?”My chest heaved as tears continued rolling down my cheeks. “I said that Gary abducted me and threatened me with my naked photos!”Panic flashed in Gary’s eyes. However, Clark only frowned and said darkly, “That’s enough, Yvonne. Gary is a righteous man. The York family has never committed any crimes. Don’t start resorting to frivolous defamation.”I felt like I had been stabbed. Just as I expected, even at that point, he did not believe me. But that made sense. He had never once sided with me. My vision turned blurry with tears as I said hoarsely, “Of course you wouldn’t believe me. Samantha is forever innocent in your eyes, and the York family is always innocent. I’m always the unreasonable lunatic who can’t control my emotions.”I wiped my tears away. “But that’s fine. I will have my revenge one day!”Clark stared at me in dumbfounded silence. Gary, however, panicked. He p

Chapter 7

Thomas Lane, my husband, removed his coat and put it around me before holding me in his arms. The familiar smell of his cologne instantly surrounded me. At that moment, I felt my heart calming down again. “Dear…” I buried my face in his chest and wept nonstop. As he stared at the burn on my arm, he cooed, “I’m sorry for being late, honey.”Just then, I heard a cold voice. “What happened?”When I looked up, I saw Clark striding over. The moment he saw me in Thomas’ arms, he frowned. Thomas glared at him and Gary coldly before practically spitting out, “You abducted my wife and were going to send her to a mental asylum. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”Gary scoffed. “An explanation? Who do you think you are? You’re not worth my time explaining myself to you.”However, Clark’s expression had changed because he recognized the man before him. Thomas Lane was among the top 10 of Forbes Billionaires and the one in charge of Lane Corporation. His law firm had bee

Chapter 8

(3rd POV)Yvonne did not turn around. Not once. She simply held Thomas’ neck tightly and said hoarsely, “I’m dead tired, dear. I’d like to go home.”Thomas stared at her. The terrifyingly cold gaze softened instantly. “Alright. Let’s go home.”He kissed her forehead. When his eyes landed on her swollen cheek and burned arm, his gaze darkened. “I’ve already contacted the best doctors. They won’t leave a scar. Once your wounds are treated, I’ll make your favorite soup.”Yvonne buried her face into Thomas’ chest. She looked so dependent on him. There was no need to even use words to describe it. It was obvious. Clark was frozen stiff. His mind went blank. Dear. Yvonne had actually called someone else her dear, and that man was Thomas Lane. At that moment, Clark finally realized that Yvonne had been telling the truth. She was never lying or putting up an act. She was not pestering him either. She was truly married, and her husband was much better than anyone imagined. S

Chapter 9

(3rd POV)In the end, due to his love for his daughter, Gary claimed that he was the mastermind of everything. York Corporation’s share prices plummeted, and their business partners canceled their contracts with York Corporation. In just two days, the once powerful York family was at the verge of bankruptcy. When Samantha came out of the detention center, she immediately called Clark and begged him for help tearfully. “Clark, please save my dad and my family! I’m begging you!”Clark hung up without a single word.As he stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, he stared at the high school students walking on the streets. Then, he remembered his high school days. He had offended someone, and he was being bullied. A group of hooligans had cornered him in an alley. They started punching and insulting him. Someone even started swinging a steel pipe. Just when he thought that he might die, Isaac shielded him from the hit from the steel pipe. Blood flowed everywhere, and Isaac d

Chapter 10

In the end, Samantha was arrested. After receiving the news, I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and let my mind wander. It was dark outside, just like the evening my mother was killed. Thomas hugged me from behind and put his chin on my shoulder as he whispered, “Clark handed the proof of Samantha driving while drunk to the police.”I stayed silent for a long time before whispering, “How long is her sentence?”Thomas tightened his arms around me. “She resisted being sent to jail and ran off, only to be run over by a car. I heard that her blood and brain matter even spilled all over the road. I suppose she got what she deserved.”I looked outside in a daze and did not say anything for a long time. Samantha was dead. The person who killed my mother, drove my father to his death, and was the indirect reason behind my grandmother’s death. She was finally dead! I finally got my revenge, and I knew that I should be feeling happy, but I only felt hollow. All the time
