Chapter 1

In the second year of Sarah Langdon's marriage, while she was preparing an anniversary gift for her husband, Jack Ferrell, she found a divorce certificate in the safe.Whose was it?She opened it. When she saw their names on the certificate, she was stunned.They were divorced? How come she didn't know?The date on the divorce certificate was 30 days later, which was her husband's birthday.Feeling uneasy, she went to the county clerk's office to inquire.After checking, a staff member told her with a worried expression, "Ma'am, there's only your marriage registration in our system and no divorce registration. This divorce certificate is forged, and the details on it are fake. It's so well-made it almost looks real. Even the official seal looks real. Did someone trick you?"As she heard that, Sarah's face turned pale.Her worries were confirmed.Jack had made a fake divorce certificate.But why would he do that?Disheartened, she put away the divorce certificate, thanked the

Chapter 2

Sarah stared at the divorce agreement coming out of the printer. She never imagined things would come to this with Jack.In two years of marriage, she had done her best to be a good wife, but instead of receiving sincerity in return, she had been cruelly betrayed. She couldn't help but feel sad for all the sacrifices she made.Thankfully, it wasn't too late to cut her losses.When she came back to her senses, she realized how cold she was because her clothes were soaked, so she took a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she received a call from the family estate. She immediately rejected the call.That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.The next morning, she woke up feeling heavy-headed, but it was nothing serious.When she walked past the guest bedroom, she saw the bed was neatly made with no signs of having been slept in.Her eyes dimmed slightly.He hadn't come home last night.She drove to Neil's Research Institute and went straight to the director's off

But he hadn't. He simply signed at the bottom of the pages, not taking her words seriously at all.After he signed, she heard him say, his voice laced with warning, "I never want to hear the word 'divorce' from you again."'You don't want a divorce? But you've already signed the divorce papers.'After suppressing the bitterness of being dismissed so casually, Sarah's mind suddenly became crystal clear.The divorce papers were signed. That was enough.She efficiently gathered the documents and turned around to leave.Behind her, Jack said indifferently, "Remember to go to the restaurant tonight."Hearing this, Sarah didn't pause at all. She walked coldly out of the CEO's office.When she passed the secretarial department, she overheard Kyle telling the secretaries, "Don't worry, tonight, pictures of Mr. Ferrell and his wife celebrating their wedding anniversary will be published by the press. The scandal will die down instantly."So that was his plan. He wanted to use her to c

Kyle was taking the gift box out of his bag when the emergency doctor came out and asked, "Are you Sarah Langdon's family? Come with me. I need to go over the medical instructions with you."Jack glanced at the gift box, realizing now wasn't a good time to open it. "Handle the discharge procedures for my wife first."Kyle put the gift box away, nodded, and walked into the doctor's office.As Sarah was preparing to leave, she met Jack's cold eyes.The man stood at the door of the ward solemnly and said, his voice flat, "Let's go home."Leaving Haley to come to the hospital had clearly displeased him.She suddenly remembered the car accident over two years ago.When she woke up, the first person she saw was him.She learned from the police officers and medical staff that he had called the cops and carried her into the ambulance.He had saved her life.When she first regained consciousness after being rescued, the violent impact had left her with a concussion, and she had even t

She saw not a trace of remorse in his eyes.His large hand slid from her shoulder down to her wrist, pressing on her wound. The desire in his eyes faded, leaving only coldness. "Why are you resisting? Don't you want a baby?"When the coolness of his palm touched her hand, she yanked her hand back.Blood dripped down her pale arm, a shocking sight, yet it was even more painful than it looked. Her voice was weak but laced with anger. "Don't touch me. I don't want it."The man frowned slightly and stepped forward, his cold gaze carrying the controlling dominance of someone superior. He said flatly, "Don't forget your responsibility as my wife."Responsibility?She recalled how both families had planned everything at their wedding, even how many children they would have to inherit the family businesses.It was an agreement without any warmth, yet she had genuinely looked forward to it back then.But had he ever cooperated?With the excuse of prioritizing his career, he let her bea

Chapter 6

At the dress salon, the manager was leading Sarah into the fitting room when Alice received a call from a wealthy lady wanting to discuss the details of tomorrow's donated auction items, so she went out to the car to get the documents.Sarah entered the fitting room alone. The sales associate brought the gown and left. Sarah took the gown into the fitting room and removed her white cashmere coat and jeans.After putting on the strapless gown, she suddenly heard a ripping sound from the back.The back of the dress had split open. Had she gained weight recently?A custom-made gown shouldn't have such poor quality.As she was wondering, the door handle of the fitting room was suddenly grabbed and twisted.She was startled.Fortunately, she had locked the door when she came in, so the person outside couldn't open it."Alice, is that you?" she asked in a soft voice, but apart from the violent twisting of the handle, there was no response.She started panicking. "Who's there?""How

"You're saying it can't be done?" Gloom clouded Sarah's eyes when she heard what Nancy said."Sarah, my friend couldn't help. But don't worry, I've already passed the documents to my brother," Nancy continued. "My brother says with all the paperwork complete, it'll be done in seven days."Nancy never imagined Duncan would outright refuse without even looking at the documents.He was a one-in-a-million man, so he was proud, cold, and aloof.He was willing to show Nancy a little patience because of her sister.She thought she was a little different than other women to him.Yet he told her, "Don't waste your time on me."That shattered her illusion.Had she overestimated that bit of patience after all?But he kept no other women around him. She still had a chance.Hearing Nancy's follow-up, Sarah's taut nerves relaxed. A dull pain surged from the wound on her wrist. "Thank you, Nancy. And thank your brother for me too.""Sarah, did something happen? You don't sound well.""It'

Suddenly, loud bangs erupted.Enormous fireworks lit up the sky of Seaview, drowning out Sarah's soft voice.The guests filed out of the banquet hall and made their way to the viewing terrace.That was the thank-you gift Sarah had prepared for the guests."Mr. Ferrell, please don't be mad at your wife. There weren't enough donated items for the auction, so she came up with this idea on the spot." Alice walked over and explained nervously. "She was sure you would bid on the ring and return it to her."After hearing Alice's explanation, Jack stepped forward, took Sarah's hand, took the diamond ring out of the gift box, and slipped it onto Sarah's ring finger. His voice carried a note of reproach, "If you don't have enough auction items, just ask Kyle."This ring represents your identity as Mrs. Ferrell."Don't take it off."At that moment, it felt as if they had returned to the past.The scene of his proposal appeared before her eyes.The two families had set the wedding date,

Chapter 9

Sarah's eyes widened in fury. She shoved Haley away with all her strength and picked up the ruby necklace.When she saw the shattered ruby, she raised her hand in fury and slapped Haley again, hard enough to send her crashing to the floor."Jack, help! Sarah is throwing such a huge fit over a mere necklace! I'm so scared!"Haley's anger suddenly turned into a look of fear as she called out pitifully toward the person behind Sarah.With steady footsteps, Jack brushed lightly past Sarah, who was trembling with excessive anger, and bent down to help Haley up.When he turned to Sarah, his eyes were cold. "It's just a necklace. Do you have to be so petty?"Hearing this, Sarah couldn't stop the bitterness from welling up in her eyes. "This is my grandmother's only keepsake, the only thing she left me and my mother."She did not care about their marriage, or to what extent he defended Haley.But how could he dismiss the necklace's value and say it was "just a necklace"?She suppresse

Chapter 10

She caught the man's indifferent gaze.Only then did she realize that he had not gotten the pink diamond ring he wanted, so he was probably feeling unhappy. She probably shouldn't act so cheerful.She composed herself slightly. "Thank you for the porcelain your company donated."Sarah wore a dark green strapless gown, her hair styled in a classical updo, with no jewelry. Her fair skin seemed to glow, making her look fresh and elegant.But when a cold wind blew past, she couldn't help shivering since she still hadn't recovered from the cold.Lester offered her the trench coat that was draped over his arm. "Ms. Langdon, please put this on. If your cold gets worse, it might delay the team's trip abroad."Thinking of the trip abroad and her goal of returning to the scientific research world, she decided to take the coat.As the coat settled over her shoulders, a crisp masculine scent mixed with a faint cedarwood fragrance immediately invaded her senses.She did not think much of it
