Chapter 35

Author: Aurora Wells
Miles’ expression darkened the moment he saw the blood on my face.

His sharp gaze flicked to Finn, who still looked ready to pounce.

Without a word, Miles gave a subtle nod to someone beside him.

Before I could process what was happening, a dark figure shot forward.

Smack! Smack!

Two quick, brutal slaps landed across Finn’s face, followed by a swift, forceful kick that sent him crashing to the ground.

Just moments ago, Finn was shouting about how he was going to teach me a lesson.

Now? He was scrambling to get back on his feet, disoriented and furious.

He had just begun to lunge forward when he finally registered the man standing in front of him.

His expression twisted, all the color draining from his face.

His lips trembled.

"M-Mr. Wynn…"

Miles’ stare was ice-cold. "Did you hit her?"

Finn clutched his cheek, his voice laced with grievance. "She attacked me first! Look, look…"

He tilted his head, exposing the red, swollen mark on his face as if expecting sympathy.

Miles barely spared

    I tugged at Miles’ sleeve. "I don’t want to see him."Miles glanced at me. "Then wait in the car."I hesitated. "What should we do about this? It looks like they called the cops.""It’s fine," Miles said calmly. "You and Dolly get in the car. I’ll have the driver take you home first."I nodded and immediately pulled Dolly with me to leave.But Julian was quick to block our path.My expression turned cold. "Stay out of my way. I don’t have time for lapdogs."Julian clenched his jaw, barely holding back his anger as he reached for my wrist. "Come home with me."I took a step back, avoiding his touch."I’m not going back."Dolly stepped in front of him. "So, what if we beat up your little lackeys, Julian? Your so-called friends were the ones who insulted Eve first. They had it coming!"Julian’s face darkened, his gaze locked onto me. "Evelyn, you never change. I actually thought you were serious this time, but you’re just making a scene again."He let out a sharp laugh. "Who put you up to

    Dolly was torn between being impressed and worried. "But if you file for divorce, there’s a good chance you won’t get back the money you invested in Moore Group. “You know Julian is a shameless bastard. He’ll do everything he can to keep it from you."I remained calm. "Then I’ll get the best lawyer and take him to court. I’m getting every single penny back. If Julian refuses, I’ll fight him to the bitter end."Seeing how resolute I was, Dolly immediately nodded. "Hell yes! Now that’s the attitude. I’m with you all the way."I looked at her. "Tomorrow’s the weekend. Pick a time to come with me. I need to get my things."She blinked, momentarily caught off guard."I left a lot of good stuff at Julian’s place."Realization dawned on her, and she nodded furiously. "Oh, right! You used to splurge on designer bags and jewelry all the time. No way in hell we’re leaving any of that for Julian and that home-wrecking tramp."I didn’t say anything.Sensing my mood, Dolly sat beside me, offeri

    Fortunately, Joseph wasn’t the nosy type.After a few reminders, he let me go.I wasted no time hailing a cab to meet up with Dolly, and together, we headed back.I was going back to Julian’s house to get my things. At the very least, I needed some clothes.Dolly chattered non-stop in the car, brainstorming ways to make the most out of this trip.As I got in, I happened to notice an old golf club lying in the trunk—solid steel with a good grip. It looked like it could do some serious damage.By the time we arrived at Julian’s villa, we sat in the car for a moment, surveying the place.It was pitch-dark inside and looked vacant.I took a deep breath. "Let’s go."Dolly moved to follow me, but I stopped her. "Wait in the car."She frowned. "What if you run into Julian? At least let me be there to block that scumbag for you."I shook my head. "No need. He’s with Chloe right now."Dolly’s eyes widened. "How do you know?"I opened my phone, clicked on a random person’s social feed, and sho

    This time, I focused on clothes.I picked out four or five sets of pajamas and everyday wear before turning my attention to the real treasures—the high-end designer pieces.As I swept through the racks, I silently praised my own taste and sharp eye.Many of these were couture pieces, some crafted by renowned designers. A few were limited editions, others were rare runway exclusives that could never be bought again. Their value had only increased over time.Then came the handbags.I didn’t even bother looking at the ones below. Without hesitation, I grabbed the crocodile leather Hermès bags from the top shelf.I felt a sense of satisfaction.Selling these alone would be enough to fund a comfortable lifestyle for a long, long time.I was so caught up in my scavenging that I lost track of time.On my sixth trip back inside the villa, the sound of a car pulling up outside snapped me back to reality.I froze.Julian was back?!I quickly pressed myself against the window, peeking outside.

    A bolt of lightning cracked through my mind.The dizziness hit me again.My entire body trembled, and an unbearable, gut-wrenching pain spread through my chest.This wasn’t the dull ache I had felt before—this was something else entirely. It was sharp and suffocating, like my heart was being torn apart.So, this was the cruel reality of losing my memories.Because even if my mind had forgotten, this body remembered everything.It had all been a lie.Everything was a carefully crafted trap.Julian and Chloe had planned this from the start.For five years of marriage, Julian never truly severed ties with her.And worse, they both believed I deserved to be used and discarded because I was stupid, and everyone knew how foolish I had been.My hands and feet went ice-cold.For so long, I believed that before my accident, I had been a reckless and desperate woman—driven to madness by unrequited love.But now, I saw the truth.This wasn’t just heartbreak.It was manipulation. A carefully calc

    Chloe let out a pitiful whimper, tears shimmering in her eyes. "That’s not what I meant. Miss White, you’re misunderstanding me…"But even as she cried, she shot me a subtle, taunting glance.I stared at her, my expression unreadable. "So, when you and Julian schemed to scam me out of my money, what exactly did you mean?"Then, turning to Julian, I spat at his feet. "You make me sick."I was done. I needed to get out of this place.But just as I turned to leave, Julian grabbed my wrist.My voice was cold as ice. "Let go."He didn’t. His whole body was tense. "Eve, what you heard isn’t true. I never planned to steal from you."A sharp, humorless laugh escaped me. "Oh? Then prove it. Pay back every cent with interest."Julian hesitated.He wasn’t willing to part with that much money.I scoffed, yanking my hand free.Suddenly, Chloe shrieked. "Julian! She took everything!"She bolted into the walk-in closet, frantically searching.When she saw the empty jewelry case, the missing watches,

    I stared at the crystal bracelets in Julian’s hands, their sudden appearance sending a ripple of unease through me.They looked very familiar.But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember why.Still, something deep inside told me they mattered and held a significance I couldn’t quite grasp.Julian must have noticed my confusion because he reached into his pocket and pulled out an old, yellowed photograph.I barely glanced at it before the realization hit me like a lightning strike.It was a family portrait.My breath caught in my throat.The photo showed all of us—my grandmother, my parents, my eldest brother, and me.In the photo, I was around ten years old, wearing a pink dress.My grandmother sat in the center, dressed in a traditional blouse, a gentle smile on her face.She gazed forward, and for a moment, it felt like she was looking straight at me—like she was still there.My mind cracked open.Memories I hadn’t even realized were locked away came rushing back, crashing th

    When I was about ten, Grandma passed away. It happened so suddenly. In the hospital, just before she left, she gave me a pair of crystal bracelets. Lying on the hospital bed, she looked at me with reluctance. "Eve, Grandma doesn’t have much to give you. I’ve worn these bracelets since I was young. “When you find someone you love, let these be part of your dowry." I sobbed uncontrollably. Julian pressed me down and said, "Evelyn, don’t go. We’re both fine." I slapped him hard, glaring at him. "We’re not fine! You tore up Grandma’s photo!" My hands trembled as I picked up the torn pieces, tears streaming down my face. The door swung open. Chloe stood there, shocked to see us on the bed. Her expression changed. "Julian, what are you doing?" I seized the chance to snatch back the crystal bracelets from Julian’s hand and bolted for the door. Chloe blocked my way. "You’re not leaving!" Her eyes flicked to the bracelets in my hand, and I caught the greed in her gaze.

    My phone buzzed twice.I quickly unlocked it and found a flood of photos and videos.A quick glance was all I needed before I grimaced and looked away."Here, there’s more where that came from," Trey said, watching me with an amused smirk. "So, tell me, do you really want to take down Julian? What happened? You finally got your head on straight? Or did you take the wrong meds recently?"Of course, someone as well-connected as him would have heard all about my black history.I hesitated. "I… I just don’t want to keep embarrassing myself."Trey chuckled, unconvinced. "Liar."His eyes narrowed, studying me with unsettling sharpness. "Tell me the truth, and I’ll give you something even juicier."I hesitated, James’ warning from earlier still fresh in my mind.Seeing my internal struggle, Trey’s smirk deepened. "No truth? Hmm?"I had no choice but to admit, "I… I lost my memory. And I don’t love Julian anymore."Trey blinked.Then, after a brief pause—he burst into laughter.Loud, unabashe

    The three of us walked out together.Waiting outside were three flashy Ferraris, belonging to Trey’s poker buddies.They strolled over, grinning. “Trey, Evelyn, where to?”Trey casually rattled off a location, and the guys whooped as they jumped into their cars—each one, of course, with a stunning young woman already waiting in the passenger seat.Dolly tugged at my sleeve, whispering, “This is a full-blown rich boys’ club.”I nodded. “I just need to stick around long enough to get the evidence.”My gaze drifted to the bag she was clutching tightly—stuffed to the brim with cash.“And, well… there’s a lot of money involved, too.”At the mention of money, Dolly’s entire attitude shifted. Her back straightened, her legs no longer ached, and suddenly, she had zero complaints about hanging out with a group of spoiled playboys.Instead of taking one of the Ferraris, Trey ditched the idea and grabbed a convertible that could fit all three of us.And so, we sped off.Four cars tore through th

    Trey smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. "Oh? Is that so? I thought it was your beloved Chloe who started spilling the tea. I’m just helping the public see the truth, nothing more."Laughter rippled through the room again.I watched as Trey danced all over Julian’s last nerve, and yet, Julian had no way of shutting him down.I couldn’t help it and laughed.Julian’s eyes darkened the moment he saw me smile. "Evelyn, you—"I cut him off. "What does this have to do with me? Chloe accused you of deceiving her. Maybe you should go explain things to her instead of embarrassing yourself here."His expression grew even more menacing. "You... what are you doing with him?"I let out a cold, dismissive laugh. "Julian, I’m divorcing you. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. If I want to hang out with friends, I will. If I want to go out and have fun, I will. What right do you have to control me?"His face darkened with rage. He stepped forward like he was about to drag me away.Bu

    Something stirred inside me, and for a moment, I forgot to push him away.“Hurry up, play your hand!”The guys who had just lost were already urging me to make a move.I hesitantly placed a card down—the Queen of Spades.Trey smirked. “Not bad. Playing the Queen—might just turn things in your favor.”With a cigarette between his lips, he leaned over again, casually adjusting the cards in my hand.The truth was, I did know how to play poker—at least in theory. I had spent enough time as a child watching my mother and her socialite friends play at fancy cocktail parties.But watching and playing were two very different things.At first, I was stiff, unsure of the strategy. Then, as the game went on, I started picking up the rhythm.And then… I won.I stared down at my hand in disbelief, double-checking my cards. I glanced at Trey for confirmation.Just then, he flicked away his cigarette and leaned back with a lazy grin.“Straight flush. Damn, you actually won. Alright, pay up, boys!”

    A strange shiver ran through me, and I quickly averted my gaze.Trey seemed to catch onto my thoughts. He smirked, deliberately exhaling a puff of smoke in my direction before turning to the others. “Alright, let’s play a few rounds.”I shot Dolly a pleading look, but she only shrugged helplessly.The game began. Trey’s long fingers toyed with the custom poker cards, his every movement exuding an effortless sense of wealth and refinement.“Three rounds.”He casually discarded a card, then leaned back, eyes half-lidded as he took a slow drag from his cigarette.“Hah! Gotcha! I win!” one of the guys across the table cheered, rubbing his hands together excitedly.Trey rolled his eyes, laughing. “That’s all it takes to get you excited? Fine, take it.”The game moved on—counting cards, reshuffling the deck. I watched as Trey casually tossed a thick stack of cash onto the table.My brows furrowed and thought, “They’re playing for that much?”He glanced at me. “Starting to get it?”I shook

    I took in the massive VIP suite, realizing just how absurdly large it was.Scattered around the plush sofas were more young men—clearly heirs to wealthy families, each accompanied by stunning women.And these weren’t just any women. Every single one of them had the kind of looks that could make them instant social media influencers. They knew how to dress, and they weren’t shy about showing off.That was when it clicked—so this was why the server gave Dolly and me such a weird look earlier.I was in a simple, modest white cotton dress. Dolly was in a tracksuit and sneakers.Our attires were high-quality from designer brands, but compared to these women, we might as well have walked in from an entirely different world.Dolly tugged at my sleeve, frowning. “Who is this? Do you recognize him?”I pointed to the man sitting in the very center—the most striking, effortlessly handsome one in the room. “He’s Trey Wynn. So, it’s him.”Right on cue, Trey spotted us. He lifted his glass and s

    I said, “He did buy me a lot of jewelry, designer bags, clothes, and other things. Those are worth quite a bit.”James adjusted his glasses. “Those are considered gifts. The court won’t allow you to reclaim them. “But Chloe Clarke, on the other hand, is in trouble. The transfer records and expensive gifts she herself exposed can all be compiled as assets to recover.”I was momentarily stunned.Dolly burst out laughing. “Amazing! This scheming, gold-digging snake clearly never bothered to read the latest civil laws! Everything she got falls under marital assets.”Realization hit me. “So not only can I get back the money I invested in Moore Group, but I can also claim a significant portion of Julian’s wealth and leave Chloe with nothing?”Dolly grinned. “Ding ding ding! You got it.”Then she turned to James. “Mr. Howe, make sure you collect every piece of evidence. Let’s ruin Julian Moore.”James smiled knowingly. “Bankrupting him might be a stretch—Julian has built a strong foundation

    He pulled an A4 sheet from his briefcase, a photocopy of an official document.I immediately spotted my signature, along with the statement detailing the purpose of the transferred funds. In my own handwriting, I had written: Investment as a partner in Moore Group’s Expansion project.A long breath of relief escaped me.James smiled. “It’s all clearly stated, and there’s also a record of your transfer into Moore Group’s corporate account. There’s no way they can deny this.”“Thank you, Mr. Howe,” I said sincerely.He waved it off with ease. “No need to thank me. You should be thanking the financial regulations in place. “If you had transferred the money directly to Julian’s personal account instead, it could’ve been classified as a gift.”At that, the entire legal team seemed to relax considerably.Then James turned to me with a serious expression. “Miss White, have you truly lost your memory?”I nodded.He grew even more solemn. “You cannot let Julian know about this. If he finds ou

    She stared at me for a long moment before urging, “Hurry up! He’s probably online right now.”“How do I contact him?” I asked.Dolly rolled her eyes. “Go to your account and message him.”I hesitated. “I forgot my login credentials.”With an exasperated sigh, Dolly helped me set up a new account.After what felt like forever, I finally managed to log in.I sent a message: "Hello, I’m Evelyn White, Julian Moore’s wife. Can I have your contact information? I need to ask you about something."A few minutes later, I got a reply: "Sure."I waited a moment before another message appeared.It was a username notification.I quickly added the contact.His profile picture was an anime-style illustration of a smirking, devilish-looking man. Something about the eyes looked oddly familiar.I typed, "Hello, may I ask where you got the photos you posted?"The chat showed he was typing.After a long pause, his response finally came through, "Someone sent them to me."I followed up immediately, "Would
