Chapter 1

After five years of amnesia, I suddenly regained my memory and got back in touch with my biological parents, who were in Regalton. I headed straight for the study, eager to share the good news with my wife, Christine Blackwell. But from inside the study, I overheard my mother-in-law, Irina Fawcett, asking impatiently, "Why haven't you divorced Timothy yet?"Christine soothed Irina and said in a low voice, "There's no need for a divorce. We were never really married."Irina was stunned. And so was I.Christine let out a soft, mocking laugh. "The marriage certificate I got with him back then was fake. It didn't even have an official seal on it."Irina was overjoyed and quickly urged, "Then hurry up and marry Edison and go with him to Regalton!""The transfer approval came through," Christine said. "I secretly applied for a transfer, and I've also registered my marriage with Edison. I'll be going with him to the capital soon enough."Irina happily agreed, then added coldly that

I coughed, ignoring the sweat on my forehead and the ache in my legs, and hurried toward the technical department.A few coworkers who'd been huddled together chatting were startled and quickly scattered, casting odd glances my way. I greeted them as usual and got to work.A little while later, my supervisor, Carol Mercer, came over."Tim, about that training opportunity I mentioned the other day… It's gone."Confused, I asked, "Wasn't it already confirmed? After the training, I'd be able to become a permanent employee."Carol explained helplessly, "Ms. Blackwell from administration reassigned your spot to Edison. There weren't many slots this time, so you'll have to wait for the next round."I had waited three full years for this chance to turn my temporary position into a permanent one, yet it had slipped away again.Then, she frowned and continued, "These past couple of days, people in every department have been saying you're delusional and won't leave Ms. Blackwell alone.

Christine shifted to the side, blocking Edison's probing gaze. "It's someone unimportant. I was just… saying hello."As the two walked off together, Edison affectionately draped his arm around her shoulders, but not before turning around to flash me a meaningful smile. The contempt and provocation in his eyes were unmistakable.I had my dinner at the factory cafeteria before slowly heading back.Irina glared at me furiously and snapped, "Where the hell have you been? You didn't make dinner, you didn't do the laundry, and you didn't even mop the floor!""I'm sick," I lied, closing the door behind me.Irina refused to let it drop and hollered from outside, "How sick can a young man like you get? A country man like you has no room for being weak and delicate! A little pain and discomfort is nothing! Just suck it up and go make dinner!"I pretended not to hear her and stayed in the room, packing my things. For the sake of our marriage, I had endured all the hardship and humiliation a

Upon returning late that night, Christine gently pressed a warm towel to my face and coaxed, "Don't be mad, Tim. Mom just wants what's best for me."I pushed her hand away coldly and asked, "What exactly is going on between you and Edison?"Her eyes flickered as she explained that she was about to be transferred to Regalton and needed the Whitman family's help, so she had to get close to Edison for now. "He's got a powerful family background. In fact, they're distant relatives of the Carrington family in Regalton. It'll be a huge boost for my career."I let out a mocking laugh, not bothering to call her out. "Distant relatives of the Carringtons? Are you sure?"Christine's expression darkened with annoyance. "If you can't help me out, the least you can do is not hold me back. Once I make something of myself, we can live a good life. "At the end of the day, all that I'm doing is for you and our family!"So her fooling around with other men was for my sake? I couldn't be bothe

All of a sudden, the door opened again. With a splash, a bucket of icy cold water was dumped all over me. It was winter, and the water was bone-chillingly cold. Soaked through, I was freezing to the point of nearly passing out. I weakly called out for help. The people outside cursed loudly, "You shameless toad! How dare you even fight for Christine, the most beautiful woman in the factory? Who do you think you are? It's high time you take a look in the mirror! You brought this on yourself!"I passed out from the cold, my body burning with fever. But the sheer hatred and grievance in me kept me going, my willpower pushing me through to endure it all. In my daze, I heard someone open the door.Carol sighed with pity, helped me up, and fed me a bowl of gruel. "You, of all people… You're usually so hardworking and diligent. How did you end up doing something so foolish?"With trembling hands, I pulled an envelope from inside my clothes. "...Please deliver this for me."Carol hesi

Christine shot me a panicked glare. "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go back to the countryside? Get lost now!" she hissed.Though she tried her best to keep her voice low, quite a few people nearby still heard her."Wasn't Tim locked up in the detention cell?""How dare he still show up? What a shameless creep!"Edison looked down at me with contempt and sneered. "Still not giving up, are you? You seem really determined to get what you want."Then, he raised his voice, saying disdainfully, "Everyone, come over and take a good look at this pathetic country bumpkin who actually dares come and steal my wife from me! He really doesn't know who he's going up against!"Many onlookers burst into laughter, their mockery and contempt thick in the air.Irina glared at me viciously, gritting her teeth in fury. "You low-life! What are you even doing here? This is a happy occasion! If you dare cause any trouble, I swear I'll beat the hell out of you!"Dad stood there silently

"Damn, that's low! How could they do something like that?" someone from the crowd commented.Christine's face flushed and paled by turns.I asked coldly, "So Christine, do you admit to marrying me three years ago and tricking me with a fake marriage certificate?"All eyes were fixed on her, some mocking, some scornful, and some disdainful.Christine knew there was no hiding it anymore. She shot me an icy look that seemed to say I brought this on myself."So what if I did? The marriage certificate we got was fake. Our marriage doesn't count. You were never really my husband."Edison wrapped his arm around her shoulders affectionately and lifted his chin triumphantly. "The certificate Chrissy and I got is a real, legal one. Everyone here today is our witness. Our marriage is one that the law recognizes. There's no changing that."The crowd's expressions varied, but no one dared to speak up anymore.No one had expected such a shocking twist. Christine had deliberately used a fake

Two guards immediately moved to shield Dad and me, their movements swift and practiced."Stop! Stop right there!" a voice called out from behind.Carol came rushing over, flanked by the military factory director, Branson Whitman, and several administrative leaders. They hurried over in a fluster, forcing deferential smiles and apologizing profusely as they crowded around us. "General Carrington, what an honor! If we'd known you were coming, we would have made proper preparations. Forgive us for not receiving you at the gate," Branson said humbly.Edison and Christine turned deathly pale. "M-Mr. Whitman, wh-who is he…?" Christine asked.But no one paid them any attention. The administrative leaders wiped cold sweat from their brows and apologized to me repeatedly, promising solemnly to seek justice on my behalf."Mr. Carrington, please rest assured. Ms. Mercer has already submitted all the evidence. The company takes this matter very seriously, and those who have erred will b

"Word is, after her promotion was revoked, Christine regretted it so much she broke down in tears on the spot. She said she'd accept any punishment the company gave her, as long as she could make amends with you and get back together," Thaddeus said.The snack I was having suddenly lost all its flavor. I frowned. "Get back together with her? She's already married!"Thaddeus scoffed dismissively. "Don't worry about her. I heard she filed for divorce from Edison, but he refused, and they've been fighting nonstop."I asked curiously, "Edison was always bragging about having connections with our family. Is there any truth to that?""None at all." Thaddeus explained, "His mother is just a distant cousin of a distant relative of ours. We're barely related at all. I've made sure he won't be using our family's name to cause trouble anymore. He wouldn't dare."So that was it. I chuckled and lazily settled back on the lounge to enjoy the snacks Thaddeus bought me.
