Chapter 11

Back in Kingsford City, Danielle demanded, "Tell me! Where is he?"Gideon hurried to explain. "Mr. Graham took a private jet overseas. Naomi picked him up at the airport herself. He's staying in an oceanfront apartment now, and he's rented an art studio, too. It looks like he's planning to settle down there."Danielle's heart sank at the mention of Naomi. Of course she knew who Naomi was.Years ago, Caleb had broken off his engagement to Naomi for her sake and cut ties with her completely. And now that he'd left everything behind, the first person he'd turned to was Naomi.Danielle felt a sudden surge of jealousy and irritation.She ordered, "Keep tabs on him. I want to know everywhere he goes and what he does every day. Don't leave out a single detail. And book me the earliest available private flight. I'm leaving right away.""Ms. Sutton, but..." Gideon hesitated. "The company's completely run out of funds. Several projects have been shut down, our business partners are canceli

After a long-distance flight lasting dozens of hours, Danielle finally arrived at her destination.She found the apartment building where Caleb lived following the address Gideon found.She'd imagined the scene of their reunion countless times along the way. Yet, unexpectedly, she found herself getting cold feet as the moment of reunion approached.After hesitating before the apartment door for a long time, she took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.The instant the door opened, she saw Caleb standing in the doorway in a plain shirt that made him look especially reserved.Caleb was somewhat surprised to see her. "How… did you find this place?" he asked."Caleb, I've come to see you," Danielle said, her voice hoarse with unmistakable guilt.Caleb's surprise faded. He glanced at her before saying detachedly, "You didn't have to. You can go home now."Danielle took a step forward. "I know I was at fault. I was blinded in the past and dismissed your sincerity. I caused Lydia's

As soon as Danielle's car pulled away, Naomi turned to look at Caleb. "Are you alright?" she asked, her tone softening instantly.Caleb shook his head, his face still pale.Danielle's abrupt appearance had once again disrupted his life after he'd finally managed to find some semblance of peace.Instead of questioning him any further, Naomi simply took him gently by the hand and said, "It's windy out here. Let's go inside."The living room was dimly lit.Naomi poured out a glass of warm water and handed it to Caleb. Then, she said with rare solemnity, "She'll come again. Are you afraid?"Caleb looked up at her calmly. "I'm not afraid anymore. It's all in the past now."Naomi said in a lower voice, "Just because you've put it behind you doesn't mean it won't come back to haunt you. She'll definitely cling to you like a stubborn leech."Caleb lowered his gaze. "I won't go back with her.""I know you won't," said Naomi. She sighed softly, then added with a trace of distress, "Cale

Chapter 14

Danielle traveled back to Kingsford City overnight.Along the way, Gideon sent all the investigative data he'd compiled to her phone.Yale had faked his infertility diagnosis and utilized his forged medical records to scam her out of five million dollars in treatment costs. He'd also colluded with some other people to stage the hostage situation during the auction, thus forcing her to push Caleb out as a hostage.Additionally, on the day Lydia suffered a sudden stroke, Yale deliberately misled her into believing that Caleb had hidden him away. He'd egged her into forcibly preventing Caleb from reaching home, which resulted in Lydia missing the critical window for receiving treatment.Every incident was planned to strike exactly where it hurt.Danielle shuddered with grief.She found it difficult to believe that the person she'd doted on so greatly was such a vicious person in reality.When she walked into the hospital ward with a sour expression, Yale was leaning against the hea

That night, rain poured over Kingsford City without end.Standing by the study doorway, Gideon held a thick stack of documents, keeping his voice barely above a whisper. "Ms. Sutton, Yale's accounts and properties are all frozen. The evidence of him faking medical records and embezzling funds has been handed over to the police."Danielle sat by the window without turning around, her mind consumed by the cold look in Caleb's eyes when he stood at the door."There's no need," he had said.Those three words cut deeper than any curse.Gideon hesitated before speaking up again. "Regarding the company… the bank is coming to liquidate it tomorrow. If we act now, we might still save a fraction of it.""Sell it," Danielle said, her voice raspy.Gideon froze. "What?""Sell everything that can be sold." Danielle slowly looked up. "Transfer the funds overseas and set up an art foundation under Caleb's name."Gideon's face turned pale. "Ms. Sutton, that's all you have left.""I owe him fa

Danielle refused to give up.She stopped barging into Caleb's house, choosing instead to watch him from afar every day at a coffee shop across from the gallery.Caleb arrived at 9:00 am and left at 6:00 pm.Sometimes Naomi joined him, and other times he walked back alone along the shore.He would chat with the gallery owner about exhibits, patiently teach children to paint, and offer his umbrella to students caught in the rain. Yet she was no longer part of any of it.That evening, the gallery hosted a small exhibition.One of Caleb's pieces sat right in the center. It depicted a morning sea bathed in golden light, with two figures holding hands in the distance.Danielle stared at it for a long time.Someone nearby asked with a smile, "Mr. Graham, what's the title of this piece?"Standing in the crowd, Caleb answered softly, "New Beginning."A sharp, dull ache hit Danielle's chest.She used to think that Caleb couldn't survive without her, but the truth was, he only truly st

Chapter 17

After that night, Danielle couldn't wait any longer.She bought a house near Caleb's gallery and showered him with flowers, jewelry, and all the gifts he used to like but never got to own.Caleb didn't accept a single thing. Everything was sent back intact, some items left completely unopened.Refusing to accept defeat, Danielle had someone contact local media to organize a massive solo exhibition for him.When Caleb found out, he sent back a single message. "I won't participate if the organizer has anything to do with Danielle."His refusal was sharp and absolute, leaving no room for negotiation.Danielle sat in the empty house, watching the returned gifts pile up in her living room, and suddenly burst into laughter.As she laughed, tears began to stream down her face.How had she ever been so sure that Caleb would never leave her?Right then, her phone buzzed with a final notice from her bank back home.The liquidation of her personal assets was complete, and the remaining

Chapter 18

The local court found Danielle guilty of harassment, attempted unlawful restraint, and disruption of public order, so she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment.Throughout those three months, Danielle never had a single peaceful night's sleep. Everything around her felt like a dense, suffocating web, trapping her completely.Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw Caleb's wrist, reddened by her grip, and remembered the resolute look on his face.Late into the night, she would dream of how he used to stay up late revising proposals for her, calluses on his hand from the pen, yet still smiling as he told her, "It's okay. I believe in you."She remembered the first time he drew her into his arms and whispered, "Danielle, I love you."She remembered their wedding day, when he stood before her in his suit and said earnestly, "Danielle, you're the only one I'll ever marry."His love for her had been real—every bit of it. But back then, she had turned a blind eye to it all and tramp

Chapter 19

When Danielle woke up, the first person she saw wasn't Caleb, but Naomi. Naomi was sitting beside the hospital bed, peeling an apple. Her movements were clumsy, and the peel broke several times.Danielle stared at her for a moment before asking hoarsely, "Where's he?"Without even looking up, Naomi replied, "My husband is resting."My husband. Those two words pricked at Danielle's heart like a needle.She closed her eyes briefly. "Is... Is he okay?"Naomi tossed the badly peeled apple into the trash and replied flatly, "He's fine. You took the knife meant for him, and the doctor said it would've been serious if it had landed even an inch away. But... you had a miscarriage."Danielle's lips curled into a faint, bitter smile. "Did he send you?""Yes." Naomi didn't deny it. "He said you were injured because of him, so he'll cover your medical expenses and the cost of a caregiver. But he doesn't feel comfortable coming to see you."The light in Danielle's eyes slowly faded. She wou

Chapter 20

After being discharged from the hospital, Danielle rented an old apartment in the area and made a living doing translation work for a trading company.Once, she had traveled by private jet and stayed in penthouse suites. Now, she squeezed onto crowded buses, wore dresses washed pale with age, and carried home bags of marked-down bread.Half a month later, news came from back home. The last piece of property under her name had been auctioned off.In the screenshot Gideon sent her, the former Sutton residence was listed with its final sale price.That was the home Caleb had personally furnished—the flower rack on the balcony, the rug in the living room, the night light in the nursery that had never been unpacked... In a single auction, they had all become nothing more than assets in the eyes of others.Danielle stared at the screen for a long time. Only when her eyes began to ache did she slowly set her phone face down on the table.She thought she would eventually grow numb to i
