A Love Meant to Crumble Chapter 101
Just as Anne was trying to make sense of the situation, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.A group of women barged in, led by a short, curvy woman dressed in a black dress adorned with diamonds along the neckline and cuffs. She had a luxurious bag in her hand.The women behind her were also dressed in designer clothes, their jewelry sparkling under the lights.As soon as they entered and saw Anne, their expressions turned contemptuous, while the woman in the lead was visibly furious."I knew it! He really is sneaking around behind my back!" She gritted her teeth.Anne was still bewildered. "Who are you?""If you're going to seduce my husband, shouldn't you at least find out who his wife is first?""No, I don't understand what you mean.""Playing dumb, huh? Let me open your eyes, then!" With that, the woman threw her bag onto the floor and lunged at Anne.Although caught off guard, Anne's reflexes kicked in, and she quickly stepped back. However, she accidental

Julia clenched her teeth, the veins on her forehead bulging. "That pair of shameless scumbags! Just wait and see how I deal with them!"At noon, after Jenny finished filming, she met up with Anne.Seeing the two messages sent from her phone, Jenny was so furious that she nearly smashed her lunchbox."Who? Who the hell took my phone while I was filming? Just wait till I catch them!"Anne urged her to stay calm. "It must've been someone from the crew, acting under Melanie's orders. But don't worry about it—at the end of the day, I wasn't the one who got screwed over.""What do you mean?""I gave Mrs. Lewis the photos of their affair."Jenny gasped dramatically. "Oh, this is going to be a show!"That afternoon, videos and photos of Julia storming in to catch Sean cheating—only to mistakenly target Anne—spread online, quickly trending on social media. Though the posts were soon taken down, the controversy had already ignited the public.Sophia's fans, hyped up like they were on st

"Who was that?" Jenny asked when she noticed Anne's expression change.Anne put her phone down. "Just some stranger."With that, she hung up and immediately blocked the number.Jenny scooted closer and put an arm around her. "See now? Just because you want to cut ties with them doesn't mean they'll let you go. People like them bully the weak and fear the strong. "If you back down, they'll think you're a pushover and will come at you harder."Anne shook her head. "I still don't like getting tangled up with those crazy people. But if they come at me again, I won't hold back."She stayed with Jenny for another night.The next day, before leaving, Anne made a point to stop by the set and apologize to Stanley. After all, because of their conflict with Melanie, the production team had been forced to take on extra work. That was an undeniable fact.Stanley took a drag of his cigarette and waved a hand. "I should be thanking you—you saved my career's final stretch."Anne was confus

Just as Anne reached her doorstep, the gate of the villa across the street swung open, and Sophia stormed over, seething with rage."Anne! You were the one who leaked those photos and videos online, weren't you? Are you having me followed? What do you want from me? Is it because I took Zachery from you? Do you hate me so much that you need revenge? "Why can't you just let me go? Are you happy now that you've ruined me?" Sophia practically screamed, her voice shrill and hysterical.Anne frowned. "First, I didn't have you followed—I have better things to do. Second, you didn't 'take' Zachery from me. I didn't want him anymore."And lastly, I'm not the one refusing to let go. You were the one who schemed against me first. I merely fought back."With that, Anne turned to enter her villa. But Sophia suddenly lunged forward, grabbed a handful of rose petals, and yanked them off violently. The three bouquets tumbled to the ground, their petals scattering everywhere."Buying yourself

Sophia froze for a moment before slowly turning her head. When she saw Carol standing there, she immediately pressed her lips together tightly.Carol's face had already darkened, her fists clenched. But she didn't want to lose her composure in front of Anne, so she gritted her teeth and said, "You. Go back inside."Sophia didn't dare say another word. She shot Anne a hateful glare before quickly turning around and retreating.Carol motioned for Agatha to follow her inside, then turned to Anne. "So, you've known all along that Sophia's child isn't Zachery's?"Anne exhaled. "What difference does it make?""If you knew, you should have told me sooner! I never would have let Zachery marry her! Even if… Even if he had to marry you instead!""Huh?" This family's logic was truly something else."I know you still love Zachery. After all, you've been together for eight years," Carol continued."What nonsense are you talking about?" Anne asked."But you need to control yourself. You're

"Anyway, my dad has an illegitimate son out there. It's not like you don't know," Zachery said.Carol was so furious that she nearly fainted. Fortunately, Agatha came out just in time to catch her."Mr. Zachery, saying something like that is like stabbing Mrs. Judd right in the heart. Please, don't say such things.""I-I really raised him for nothing. What hope do I even have left?" Carol started crying in anger.Agatha, worried she might get even more upset, quickly helped her inside.Zachery turned and kicked the wall behind him hard. Then, as if something had just occurred to him, he looked up toward the second floor of the villa across from his.He caught sight of Anne pulling her curtains closed. She didn't even glance at him.…The next morning, Anne went for a jog, running a full lap around the neighborhood.On her way back, she picked up a bouquet of roses from the front gate—having fresh flowers in the house always put her in a good mood for the day.But just as she

The old house wasn't far from Fortuna Restaurant. It was just a ten-minute taxi ride away.Anne got out at the entrance of the alley leading to Fortuna Restaurant.It was already past lunchtime, so the street vendors had packed up, and the once-bustling alley had quieted down.Fallen autumn leaves scattered the ground, lending the scene a sense of everyday tranquility. She walked leisurely, enjoying the peaceful afternoon.Suddenly, a tall man, clearly drunk, stumbled down the alley.At first, Anne didn't pay him any attention, but as they got closer, the man suddenly lurched toward her."Hey, beautiful, wanna—wanna have a drink?" The man grinned at her, slurring his words.Anne frowned and stepped around him, continuing on her way. "Don't go! Come on. I'll treat you." The drunk man blocked her path again, even reaching out to grab her."Keep me company. I'll pay you," he said, patting his pants pocket as if to emphasize his point.Anne wrapped her coat tighter around hersel

Kathy couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned Andy."When Charles and I got together, he hadn't gotten into trouble yet. He was tall, well-built, and looked cool but actually loved to laugh and was incredibly loyal."He was also the first one to find Harvey when he ran away from home, but since he had to rush to his night shift, he told Charles to take him in instead."By this point, Kathy's eyes had already turned red."Back then, his younger sister was sick. None of you knew?" Anne asked."At that time, Charles' family also ran into some trouble. He and I had to rush back to our hometown, and Darren had gone to be an apprentice somewhere, only coming home once every ten days or so."That left just Harvey at home—he was only 15 years old. Andy must have thought there was no point in telling him since he wouldn't have been able to help."So later, after what happened to Andy, even though Harvey never said anything, he must have felt guilty deep down. After all, if he had just

Meeting anyone from that family would always give Anne an immediate headache. Even though Carol had asked her to wait, she still shut the gate to her yard, making her stance clear.Carol cleared her throat. "I know about you and my son."Anne frowned. "What about me and your son?""That you two have rekindled an old flame. Sophia told me.""You guys are crazy!"Just as Anne turned around to leave, Carol called out behind her, "Anne, you're married to Harvey now. You should let go of your feelings for Zachery. Even if you can't help yourself, you must control it! Zachery can be impulsive at times, but you can't afford to be."We're talking about Harvey here—if he finds out about you two, he won't let you off. The Judd family might be powerful, but even we can't afford to cross the Parker family. For the sake of both our families, you two need to keep your distance."Anne was baffled, completely at a loss of how she should react to this. They truly were one family—their logic was

Hearing that, Harvey still looked skeptical."I remember very clearly—you don't like cilantro. Every time we eat out, if the restaurant adds it, you always ask me to pick it out for you."Anne was stunned but managed to maintain a calm expression. "You must be confusing me with someone else."Harvey furrowed his brows and started thinking hard. "Could it be that it's Lilian who doesn't like cilantro? Like last time, I mixed it up—she likes taro cheesecake, and I thought it was you.""Well, Lilian and I do have pretty different tastes." Anne chuckled.She reached over, took a taco from his hands, and took a bite from the top where the cilantro was. "The seasoning is spot on. It's really good."Harvey shrugged. "I must've remembered it wrong.""Good thing it's Lilian. If it was another woman, I'd be mad," Anne teased with a playful huff.Harvey raised a brow. "You can doubt my memory, but don't ever doubt my loyalty. That's an insult to my character."Anne laughed. "That serious

When Harvey got the news, he showed up not long after.Anne threw herself into his arms, fighting back tears. "I want to go home."Harvey kissed her forehead gently. "I'll have them transferred to another hospital. They won't bother you again.""I just want to go home," she insisted."Anne…""Hubby, let's go home." She looked up at him with pleading eyes.Harvey gazed at her, both helpless and doting. "Alright. Let me talk to the doctor."While he went to speak with the doctor, Anne pulled herself together and went downstairs to check on Jenny. When she entered the room, she saw Jenny packing her things."Jenny, are you being discharged already?" she asked.Jenny stiffened slightly before turning around with an exaggerated smile. "I'm fine. There's no need to stay hospitalized. Besides, I can't stand the smell of disinfectants here.""Are you sure you're okay?" Anne asked, concerned."Of course! I have a new audition lined up.""Maybe you should rest a bit longer," Anne sug

"She ate the food I made! That was my first time cooking, and I made it especially for you!" Sophia shouted, pounding her chest. Her eyes were filled with grievance."How could you let her eat it? How could you trample on my feelings like this?"Zachery paced the hospital room, his frustration boiling over. "Fine! I admit it—I'm still in love with her! I regret marrying you!""Zachery, you bastard!""I'm a bastard? What about you? Sneaking around with Sean behind my back? You're worse than me!""I don't care! You can't treat me like this! You promised you'd only love me and be nice to me! You swore that even if there were other women around, none of them would matter to you, only me! I'm the only one you love!" Sophia sobbed uncontrollably."I… I just didn't know my true feelings back then. I didn't realize it until later, but by then, I had already married you. I've been miserable ever since. Yeah, maybe it's my punishment, but I never actually wronged you—you're the one who wro

What was the point? Things were over between them."Thanks, but please don't do things like this anymore. It makes me feel annoyed," Anne said in a calm but firm tone.Zachery's face darkened like storm clouds, clearly feeling unappreciated."How's your injury?"Anne let out a deep breath. "It's nothing serious. You don't need to concern yourself with it.""Isn't Harvey supposed to be so amazing? Yet you still got hurt. Hah! The truth is, he doesn't really care about you. If he had, he would've protected you better.""Zachery Judd!" Anne tried not to lose her temper, but he was pushing her buttons. "Who exactly are you to criticize my husband?"Zachery glared at her. "I care about you!""Go care about your own wife. Stop worrying about someone else's wife, alright?""Anne!" Zachery looked like he was punched in the gut. "How can you be so cold to me? You… You used to love me so much!"Anne was beyond exasperated. How much clearer could she be? And yet, Zachery acted like he d

Anne furrowed her brows and got up to check the door. By the time she stepped into the hallway, all she could see was the back of a man in hospital scrubs, hurrying away in a flustered manner.She pressed her lips together. Even with just a glimpse of his back, she could recognize the man.It was Zachery.Anne ended up sleeping until nightfall. When she woke up, she noticed light spilling from the bathroom and the sound of water running. Knowing Harvey was here, she stayed in bed quietly, waiting for him.After a while, he finally emerged.Seeing she was awake, he walked over with a smile and leaned down to kiss her."Your hair's still dripping!" Anne quickly dodged.Harvey pulled her into his arms and kissed her firmly before pulling out food containers from the thermal bag. "Eat first. I'll go dry my hair."There was some oatmeal, steamed veggies, and two dinner rolls. She only needed one bite to know it was his cooking."I didn't have much time today, so I whipped up someth

Julius nodded. "I've handed the bar over to Caesar for now. I'll be at the hospital with her these next few days.""She's really scared," Anne said softly."I know.""Jul, she…""I know."Julius couldn't hold it together anymore. He wiped away a tear, then turned and slammed his fist into the wall. "I hate how useless I am. If I'd been able to help her pay off that debt earlier, none of this would've happened."Anne patted him on the shoulder. He was just Jenny's ex-boyfriend. He wasn't obligated to do any of this."Don't think like that. This isn't your fault. But as her friend, she'll need us to help her through this dark time."When Anne returned to her hospital room, Liam and Lilian were already there."You didn't tell Harvey's parents, right?" Anne asked them."Nope. Uncle Harvey specifically told us not to," Liam replied.Hearing this, Anne breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to worry the elders or make them overthink things."Anne." Lilian walked over and hugg

At the hospital, the doctor treated Anne's wound.Harvey insisted on holding her the whole time, saying if it hurt, she should lean into his arms.Anne felt a little embarrassed. As a doctor herself, she'd always thought patients like this were a bit too dramatic. But now? Okay, fine—she kind of wanted to stay in his arms, too, so she could be pampered and comforted.Still, she gently pushed him away. This was Windbrook Hospital, and the doctor treating her was someone she knew. She couldn't embarrass herself like this in front of a colleague.Harvey stood sulking against the doorframe, watching her pitifully.Her injury turned out to be more serious than expected—she needed to be admitted.This time, she was placed in a VIP suite. Harvey wanted to book the entire floor, but she stopped him just in time."I have to handle a few things. I'll come back tonight to stay with you," Harvey said, then kissed the tip of her nose.After the chaos from last night, Anne could barely kee

Anne frantically backed away, heart pounding in terror. No one knew she was here, so no one would come to save her."God, please don't let this happen," she prayed in her mind.She could no longer stay calm as despair consumed her."No, please. I'm begging you…" Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded over and over.The bearded man started taking off his clothes, leering at her as if he was about to devour her.The cigarette guy nudged the other two men awake. "Come on. Don't miss the show.""What the hell? Why does he get to go first?""Relax. You're second.""Fine. I'll be third.""I'll go last, then. Happy now?"Anne realized she couldn't escape. Rather than be violated, she'd rather end it herself. Gritting her teeth, she flung herself toward the wall.With a sickening thud, her head hit hard, and warm blood instantly blurred her vision.The men shouted in surprise."Damn, this woman's got guts!""Hah, the boss said even if it's a corpse, we still need to get it o
