Chapter 37

Author: Aurora Wells
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.

    "You don’t want it anymore?" The bracelet dangled precariously in Julian’s hand. It felt like an invisible blade was slowly cutting through my heart. I slowly sank to my knees. Chloe sneered from the side. "Wow, so filial." She turned to Julian, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Julian, look at her. Just to divorce you, she’s really—" Julian suddenly snapped at her, his voice thunderous. "What does this have to do with you? Get out!" Chloe flinched. She looked like she wanted to cry but held back when she saw the strange expression on Julian’s face. Her suspicious gaze flickered over me, scrutinizing every inch. But I acted as if I neither saw nor heard anything. Step by step, I crawled out of the room on my knees. The soft wool carpet beneath me cost four thousand per square meter, yet it felt like it was lined with shards of glass. It hurt. It really hurt. But I needed Grandma’s keepsake. I needed something of hers with me. Tears streamed down my face,

    I didn’t say a word, just grabbed Dolly’s hand and ran.We dashed onto the street and jumped into the car. My whole body trembled as I clutched the bracelet tightly, unable to speak.Dolly noticed my state, hesitated for a second, then slapped me hard across the face."What happened? Tell me what the hell happened?"I stared at her blankly, then, choking with sobs, showed her the torn-up family photo. "Julian ripped it apart. He smashed one of the bracelets Grandma gave me."Dolly’s expression darkened instantly.For a moment, she stood frozen, then cursed loudly, "That bastard! I’m going to kill him!"Grabbing her golf club, she flung the car door open and stormed back inside.I sat there, listening to the sound of things crashing inside the house. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down, then picked up Dolly’s phone and made a call.The line connected, and Miles’ voice came through, as gentle as always."Hello, Miss Jones. What’s the matter?"I sniffled. "Miles, it’s me

    The moment I saw that elegant, refined face, so striking it felt almost divine, every bit of the frustration I’d buried surged to the surface.Without a second thought, I rushed into his arms. “Miles!”Warmth enveloped me, and the familiar clean scent of pine wrapped around my senses. My eyes stung instantly.Miles lowered his head, chuckling softly. “What’s wrong? You look like a little bunny with those red eyes.”Feeling embarrassed, I gave his chest a light smack. “Why are you here?”He studied my face carefully, then gently brushed his fingers across my cheek. “I heard someone was picking on my darling, so I came running.”That warmth spread through my chest, overflowing, making it hard to hold back tears.He leaned down, his voice low in my ear. “Don’t cry, silly girl.”Then he straightened and looked around the room.His gaze passed over Sarah and Dolly, finally landing on Julian.Julian instinctively straightened his back.He stepped forward, voice laced with sarcasm. “What brin

    I turned to Sarah with an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, Miss Care. It seems I’m not in a position to work with your company until I sort out my personal matters.”Sarah shook her head regretfully. “Please don’t apologize. Our company is moving forward with expansion this year. We’ve already allocated the available investment slots. If you decide not to invest… we’ll have to open the opportunity to others.”She gave me a sympathetic look. “I’m sorry, Miss White. But once this window closes, there will be no further opportunity.”I offered a bitter smile and nodded. “I understand.”Dolly was so angry, she could barely hold back a choked sob. “That shameless bastard… absolutely shameless!”I squeezed her hand, silently telling her it was time to go.Julian stepped in front of us, blocking the way. His expression was conflicted, and when he spoke, his voice was softer than I’d ever heard it.“Eve, maybe we can talk this through.”“Julian, you… you’re still not done?” Chloe’s voice r

    The moment I heard those words, a rush of blood surged to my head.My ears rang, and that all-too-familiar wave of dizziness came crashing back.I barely registered Dolly's voice rising in fury. “Julian Moore, do you have no shame? You really dare say that was marital property?! Eve paid for it herself! You… you're absolutely disgusting!”I could barely stay on my feet, the world tilting around me.“Dolly… I…” I whispered weakly.She quickly caught me and helped me sit down.I took a few deep breaths to steady myself, then looked up at Julian. And for a split second, though maybe it was the dizziness playing tricks on me, I thought I saw a flicker of concern flash through his eyes.Sarah noticed something was off and immediately stepped in. “Miss White, don’t worry. We can take this slowly.”I fought to calm my pounding heart and spoke, voice steady but cold. “What exactly is it that you want, Mr. Moore?”Julian hesitated for a moment, but soon the polished businessman returned to his

    She was the one with the real foresight, not me. But now, just to help me leave a good impression on Sarah, she gave me all the credit.Sarah looked at me and smiled thoughtfully. “Turns out people really can change. To be honest, three years ago, I didn’t have the best impression of you, Miss White.”I felt a twinge of guilt. “Was I arrogant back then? I’m sorry…”She shook her head. “No, it wasn’t arrogance. It was… well, your reputation at the time. Let’s just say it wasn’t great. “Within our team, your sponsorship actually stirred up a lot of debate. Some people felt it wasn’t a good look to accept money from someone with such a controversial name.”I cringed. “Ah... I see.”She went on. “But others argued that if someone had the money and was willing to help us through a rough patch, we’d be fools not to take it.”The discomfort on my face deepened.So even a struggling little startup like Elmwood had once hesitated to take my money. My reputation back then must’ve really been

    The moment Julian spoke, Chloe broke into even louder sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks like a porcelain doll cracked beyond repair.Dolly gave a cold laugh, then tugged my arm. “Come on. This place is suffocating.”We turned to leave.“Wait!” Julian called out.I stopped and glanced back, frowning.He looked like he wanted to warn me and say something sharp but seemed to realize this wasn’t the time or place.In the end, all he could manage was, “Eve, don’t take it out on Chloe. Think about the baby.”I gave a short, cold laugh. “The baby? Whose baby?”His face flushed, then paled. “Eve, don’t be so... unreasonable…”The last word came out weak and guilty.I smiled. If Julian had changed at all since I lost my memory, this was it—he’d gone from brazenly cheating and blaming me to fumbling through half-hearted defenses, too ashamed to even meet my eyes.I didn’t bother wasting another second on him. “Mr. Moore, instead of lecturing me, maybe ask your precious Chloe why she came al

    Chloe was caught off guard by his words, staring at Julian with a wounded look.But his eyes weren’t on her.I saw her bite her lip hard, then shoot me a bitter, venomous glance.I almost laughed and turned my attention back to the runway....Elmwood’s show was a complete success. When Sarah stepped onstage for her closing remarks, the applause lasted well over ten minutes.A swarm of reporters rushed forward for interviews, while the invited sponsors were led by staff into a backstage lounge to rest.Dolly and I took a seat and chatted about the standout pieces we’d captured on our phones.She was just as experienced as I was in the industry, but unlike me, Dolly was passionate about fashion design since she was a kid. She even self-studied design courses back in college.It was her eye and enthusiasm back then that convinced me to sponsor Elmwood’s first brand show.Now that the company was gaining momentum, no one was happier than her.We were deep in discussion when a shadow appe

    Seeing that I’d achieved what I wanted, I immediately agreed.Just as I was about to turn away, I remembered something and said to Sarah, “By the way, I’m no longer Mrs. Moore. My name’s Evelyn White. You can call me Eve, or Miss White.”Sarah froze. “Wait, what…?”Her assistant quickly leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.Sarah’s expression shifted instantly.Her eyes filled with sympathy as she looked at me.She took my hand and sighed. “Mrs.—I mean, Miss White, I admire your courage.”Just then, she turned and caught sight of Julian and Chloe approaching. Her expression instantly soured.“What’s that scumbag doing here? And with her, no less…”I stepped in before it escalated. “Let’s catch up after the show, Sarah.”With that, I turned and made my way back to my seat.Behind me, I heard Julian’s overly polite voice. “Miss Care, the setup of your show is quite impressive.”Chloe chimed in sweetly, trying to please. “Miss Care, I heard your designs have won international

    Julian froze.From the look on his face, he clearly had no idea what this brand show was actually about. As for Chloe…I glanced at her and, sure enough, caught the flicker of guilt in her eyes.Julian turned to her, frowning. “What’s going on?”Chloe looked timid and unsure. “Julian, are you upset with me? I really don’t know what’s going on either. It was Mr. Watson who told me a company-sponsored fashion event had invited us to come take a look.”Tears gathered in her eyes. “You know how much I love fashion and art events... I didn’t realize there was anything out of the ordinary.”Her explanation wiped the irritation clean off Julian’s face.He softened. “Alright, I’m not blaming you. I just… never mind. This isn’t your fault.”Then he turned to me with a sharp glare, clearly annoyed. “Evelyn, what exactly do you want?”As he spoke, he tugged uncomfortably at the collar of his tie.I noticed more and more guests arriving, and I said coolly, “I’m just letting you know that this bra

    The hostess paused for a second, then quickly adjusted with a smile. "Of course, Miss White. Miss Jones, please follow me. Our founder and a few directors are over this way."“Well, well, no longer Mrs. Moore? That was fast. Wasn’t it just a while ago someone couldn’t stop flaunting the fact that she was Mrs. Moore?”A mocking voice rang out.I turned around sharply, my expression darkening.Chloe stood there in a loose-fitting dress, carefully shielding her baby bump. Her arm was looped through Julian’s.And the one who’d made the snide comment was Rossie.Rossie stood beside Chloe, eyeing me from head to toe with thinly veiled smugness.Chloe’s eyes flickered the moment she saw me. She quickly leaned into Julian’s chest, all delicate and helpless."Julian, why didn’t you tell me Miss White would be here?" she asked sweetly.Julian clearly hadn’t expected me either. His brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"I frowned. "The better question is—what are you doing here? I don’t rec
