Chapter 1 Slap Her

"Should I arrange a private jet to pick you up, Ms. Tiffany?"I was just about to answer when my phone buzzed. Wendy had posted several photos in the group chat. In every one, George had an arm around her shoulders, their heads leaning against each other. They looked far too intimate.John Wood was the first to stir things up. "You two look more like a couple than a certain broke loser."Leslie Zimmer chimed in, "And that someone's still swimming."Wendy got more smug. She sent an emoji of a dog pawing at something, and she even tagged George. "Do you think this dog looks like her?"I watched her challenge, waiting for George's answer. A few moments later, an account with a profile picture matching Wendy's replied. "Yeah."That crushed whatever hope I had left for him. The group hyped them up again. They thought selling out my dignity for Wendy's smile was worth it.With tacit approval given, the mockery mounted. They quickly found a lot of photos of dogs licking boots on the

Chapter 2 She's Tired

Wendy held her swollen cheek, looking shocked. "How dare you hit me!"Leslie immediately shoved me. "It was just a joke. Why so serious, Tiffany?"John had scorn on his face. "Happy now? You ruined the whole trip!"Wendy's eyes went red. Then, like a wounded kitten, she lowered her voice. "I'm sorry. I didn't realise you couldn't even afford a little pocket change." Tears began sliding down her face. "I can leave if you hate seeing me with George. Please don't hurt me."She made it sound like she was the one drenched in swill, not me. I was going to say something, but George broke his silence and grabbed me. "That's enough, Wendy!" His voice was stern, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. "She already said sorry. What more do you want? I had no idea you were this petty!"His face was covered with disgust, so unlike the old him. Before the Quintons found me, I had to work part time to fund my tuition. One winter, I came down with a fever while it was snowing and collap

Chapter 3 Betrayal

A few hours later, I finally cleaned all the grease off me. Right after I came out of the bathroom, I heard John speaking outside the door. "You worked well together for the couple's event."Leslie teased, "Wendy's the better girl for you, George. You guys grew up together and slept in the same bed lots of times. Can't you get married for real?""Enough," George said casually. "We only ever slept beside each other. Nothing happened."Wendy said bashfully, "Nonsense. We kissed."That was it. I pushed the door open and demanded an answer from George. "You said you'd love me forever. This is how you love people?"I scrolled through my phone right in front of him, showing him all the intimate photos in the group. He was holding Wendy while they were touring around in a car, and they were seated close to each other.There were photos where they shared a cotton candy, and their lips nearly touched. I sneered. "If you liked her, you could've just told me. You didn't have to keep pre

Chapter 4 Insulted

The Quintons' event was held the following evening. As the city's richest family, they invited the aristocratic families in Imperia's elite circle. No one knew exactly why the event was being held, but the guest list alone was enough to make it one of the most sought-after gatherings of the year.When George saw me, he frowned. "How'd you get in? Slept with another guy?"I laughed mirthlessly. The marks on his neck were barely concealed beneath his collar, yet he still had the nerve to accuse me of cheating. Wendy noticed my puffy eyes, and she pulled her collar down to reveal the hickeys on her neck."You should know your place, Tiffany. George didn't bring you because this place is out of your league."In the past, words like that would have sent me running somewhere private to cry for hours. Now I just snickered. "I don't need him to bring me here. He has nothing to do with me."Leslie immediately stepped forward. "Enough. George hates getting threatened."I smacked his hand

Chapter 5 Kick Out

"You're here, sir." George quickly recovered from his shock and lowered his head respectfully.The crowd shrank to the sides and made a path. Henry Quinton walked through the hall. His hair was completely white, but his stride was steady and commanding, his presence alone enough to silence the room. "If I hadn't come," he said coldly, "you might have turned my family's banquet into one of your own."George's face nearly fell, but he would not show his displeasure to the richest man in Imperia. My foster parents were humble farmers who had never seen anything like this, and they were stunned.Wendy did not recognize the head of the Quintons, and she said arrogantly, "And who are you supposed to be, old man? Get out! George is the eldest son of the Foster family. Who do you think you are?"The stage was set. I wiped my tears away and watched coldly. Leslie and John quickly pulled her back, but Wendy was used to getting spoiled, she thought the world revolved around her.She appr

Chapter 6 It's Just Beginning

Once the troublemakers had been thrown out, the reunion banquet proceeded smoothly. It was also the perfect opportunity for me to establish myself within Imperia's elite circle. Henry and my biological parents personally introduced me to the guests."This is Mrs. Zimmerson. Her daughter's the same age as you."Mrs. Zimmerson happily held my hands. "Tiffany, right? Oh, you're lovely.""And this is Mr. Fawkes. His family are loyal friends, and our partnership has always gone swimmingly.""I think Tiffany has the makings of a great woman!"George called me a lot and bombarded my phone with texts, but I ignored them all. Once the elders were introduced, Henry and my parents took me to another table."This is your peer, David Dresfang, second son of the Dresfangs. He's young, but he's successful.""You flatter me. Your granddaughter is equally brilliant."Henry showed me to nearly everyone, save for those who mocked me. He wanted to get back at them, so they scurried off. He lovingl

Chapter 7 Wrong Assumption

After I hung up on him, George's fury blew up. His expression darkened as he turned to his assistant. "Find out which family the Quintons are marrying her off to!"He simply could not accept that the Tiffany who had always obeyed him would reject his apology. Wendy immediately wrapped both arms around his elbow and pressed herself against him. "Ignore that bitch and go out with me.""Enough."Wendy pouted and pulled her collar lower to show the marks he left on her yesterday. "Why? Don't you like me? You called my name when you rode me yesterday.""Enough!" George flung her hand away. "She'll calm down in a few days, so stop making that kind of joke." It was the first time he felt that Wendy was annoying.He thought, 'She doesn't even have an ounce of Tiffany's gentleness.'Wendy did not expect this total refusal. She fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment, then she laughed. "You think this is a joke? Wait, are you stupid? Only you're still delusional about Tiffany com

Chapter 8 She Wishes

A year had gone by. I was in the conference hall, listening to my subordinate's report. "Most of the shares of the Woods, the Zimmers, and the Fosters have been acquired. There are a lot of foreign banks that have partnerships with us. After we gave them a heads up, those families' attempts at asset transfer failed."I smiled. "Well done."After George was sentenced to prison, I did everything I could to kick his family out of the circle. The Fosters fell, and the Woods and the Zimmers that relied on them went bankrupt as well.John, Leslie, and my foster parents tried to plead countless times, but I refused them. They could not even get into the company's elevator.Though he was in prison, George refused to give up. He kept trying to send letters to me for help. I never opened a single one. Every letter went straight into the shredder.As for Wendy, by the time the police found her, she had suffered severe injuries to her hands and was in such poor mental condition that she could
