The brightly lit mansion was thrown into complete chaos.The Harper family's men swung sledgehammers wildly, smashing the mansion to pieces.Reporters from various media outlets frantically pressed their shutter buttons.Wendy's eldest brother, Thomas Harper, pinned Jackson to the floor and gave him punch after punch, his eyes bloodshot with hatred."Wendy's the most precious treasure of our family! How dare you treat her like that?! Do you wanna die?!"On their way there, the Harper family had learned about everything that Wendy concealed from them.The upright, innocent, and pure girl from the Harper family had been branded a slut by Jackson.And he did all this for his childhood friend who was violated by the kidnappers!The more Thomas thought about it, the more enraged he became, and the heavier his punches. Had his wife not stepped in to stop him, Jackson would probably have died.Thomas didn't spare another glance at Jackson, who was beaten bloody. He stood up and ordere

Today, Jackson was finally struck by the very bullet he fired in the past.He had once naively thought that he could deal with all the lies he told. But now, those lies submerged him like a tide.The colossal waves they formed were dragging him into the abyss.The Harper family did not tell Wendy about Jackson's miserable situation. They didn't even mention his name in front of her.When they returned to the south, they only casually mentioned to her that everything had been taken care of and that he would not come looking for her anymore.Wendy didn't dwell on it either. She had her own matters to attend to.Like the Wallace family, the Harper family was also a large, influential family, and the relationships among its members were even more complex.Although Wendy's divorce was never openly discussed, her eldest aunt, who had always looked down on Wendy's branch of the family, seized the opportunity to mock her with snide remarks.First, she said Wendy was second-hand goods n

David had already sent a table to his phone before he got there, listing all the venues where Wendy was expected to appear. At tonight's function, Wendy wasn't just attending. She was also slated to give a speech as a special guest.However—Jackson checked his watch. Two hours had already passed since the banquet started, but there was still no sign of Wendy anywhere.He started to doubt the accuracy of the information David provided.With that thought, Jackson grabbed his phone and stepped out to call David.The very second he closed the balcony door behind him, the entire venue suddenly erupted in a buzz.Wendy had arrived.As the special guest invited by the host, Wendy instantly became the focal point of the entire venue the moment she walked in. Guests swarmed around her, raising their champagne glasses in greeting.Wendy smiled and nodded in acknowledgment as she followed the waiter's lead upstairs.Just then, a large hand slowly pushed the tightly shut balcony door ope

Perhaps sensing the dip in Wendy's mood, Thomas made an executive decision and packed both her and their parents off to their mother's hometown for a change of scenery and some relaxation.Initially, he had wanted to send his wife along too, but she was feeling slightly unwell and chose to rest at home.As for Thomas himself, he naturally stayed behind to take care of his wife, and conveniently, to stop Jackson from finding Wendy.Because David's information wasn't updated, Jackson still went to various venues to try and run into Wendy just as before.The first time, he spent a whole night in a public square, braving the cold wind. Wendy did not come to watch the fireworks, and he got soaked in the rain.Unsurprisingly, he fell ill. This time, there was no longer a woman by his side carefully tending to him, wiping him down with alcohol wipes throughout the night.The second time, he went searching for her in a bar. He used to despise bars the most. Although it was a quiet bar, e

When Wendy found out, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed, but she still forced a smile and told him it was alright.Feeling deeply guilty, he hugged her and coaxed her, telling her that for her next birthday, he would make her an even better one.He did make this "Heart of True Love" later, but its rightful owner was no longer by his side.Jackson took a deep breath and raised his hand to tap on the car window. The window rolled down, and an unfamiliar face eagerly leaned over."Mr. Wallace."Jackson handed the gift to the man and smiled gratefully. "Sorry to trouble you."The Harper family invited many people to the banquet, and among them happened to be someone Jackson knew who hadn't cut ties with him. He entrusted this person to help him deliver the gift.The man waved his hand, said "no trouble at all" several times, then headed toward the Harper mansion with Jackson's gift.Because of the large number of guests attending, the security checks at the Harper
