Luna Baxter and Simon Fulmer have been married for five years. One day, she receives a provocative voice message and intimate photos from Simon's first love. They're sent from his phone, too. "I've only been back in the country for half a year, but he took the bait as soon as I laid it. He's prepared blue fireworks for me tonight, but I don't like the color blue. To avoid wastage, you can have them on your wedding anniversary." Luna and Simon's fifth wedding anniversary comes a month later. She looks out the window at the blue fireworks lighting up the sky. Then, her gaze lands on the empty seat across from her. Simon's first love challenges her again. She sends her a photo of them having a candlelight dinner. Luna doesn't cry or kick up a fuss. She silently signs a divorce agreement and asks Simon's secretary to prepare for a wedding. "What are the bride's and groom's names, Mrs. Fulmer?" "Simon Fulmer and Sophie Sutherland." Seven days later, she flies to Naavi to give them her blessings. She throws them a wedding.

Realizing she had accidentally let something slip, Sophie immediately stopped talking.Simon's gaze turned dark and menacing. He fixed his eyes on Sophie and enunciated each word with a chilling precision, "Did you order Hunter to kill Lulu?"Sophie shook her head frantically, still trying to deny it. "I didn't—"Before she could finish her last word, Simon's fist landed squarely on her face.The blow knocked her jaw to the side and a mouthful of blood spilled from her lips.Simon squinted his eyes. Like a man possessed, he continued to pummel Sophie, his fists raining down on her face.Minutes passed, and Sophie collapsed to the ground, unable to hold herself up any longer.But Simon's fists didn't stop.The guests around them stood frozen in shock, watching the madness unfold. Not a single person dared to step forward to intervene.It wasn't until the police and an ambulance arrived that Simon finally stopped.When Sophie was carried away in the ambulance, her face was bloo

Clover needed Zaiden's hair for the paternity test, which was quite a troublesome task.However, thanks to Sophie's usual mistreatment of the household staff, things took an unexpected turn.Not only did Sophie look down on the household staff, but she also constantly nitpicked and scolded them.When Clover privately spoke with one of the maids, she hadn't even taken out the money she had prepared as compensation before the maid agreed to help her pull out some of Zaiden's hair—simply to vent her frustration.Upstairs, five servers were delivering dishes as scheduled.One masked female server walked over to Simon with a plate covered by a cloche. She slowly lifted the lid, revealing not food but four neatly arranged copies of documents.The people at the same table immediately turned to look, and the commotion was so noticeable that guests at the nearby tables also leaned over to see what was going on."What's that?""No idea, but it looks like we're about to witness some drama

Lawrence said, "This is punishment for your recent inappropriate behavior. The Fulmer family's rule—loyalty and devotion to relationships and marriage are paramount; only when the family is united can everything prosper!"Simon lowered his eyes in despair.His grandfather forbade him from participating in Fulmer family affairs for five years. With so many cousins in the family, these five years would likely see many of them surpass and crush him, and he would probably lose his chance to inherit the family legacy forever.However, he had already lost Luna; what use did he have for the Fulmer family fortune?"I understand, Grandpa."Lawrence shook his head in disappointment as he left with his cane.In the evening, Sophie learned that Simon had been ordered by Lawrence to refrain from involving himself with the Fulmer family's business for five years.She sat alone in the living room, her mind in chaos.The last time she spoke to Hunter, she told him she would cook for him as a r

"Yes, Mrs. Baxter," Luther responded. Luther went to Simon's villa one week later. As he looked at the man in front of him, who had lost nearly 70 pounds, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. But in just a second, his expression returned to normal. "Mr. Fulmer, Mrs. Baxter has asked me to sell the villa. The new owner has already signed the contract today. I kindly ask that you—"Before Luther could finish, Simon suddenly looked up and scoffed, "You're asking me to leave, right? Lulu is dead, and this villa no longer holds any of her things. It's no use for me to stay." Simon then staggered toward the door, with Luke following him out of worry.Simon had been drowning himself in alcohol, consumed by thoughts of Luna. His sleep was reduced to one or two hours a day, and at his lowest, overwhelmed by longing, he even attempted to cut his wrists. Before Simon could leave the garden, he lost his balance and collapsed again.Luke sent Simon to the hospital. Unable to bear

As Sophie watched Simon, who was nearly losing his mind, her eyes swam with emotions.He seemed like a lion who had lost its lioness, lowering its proud head in defeat.When she had made the firm decision to leave Simon back then, she hadn't seen him break down like this. What was so good about Luna?Sophie walked up to Simon, grabbed his hand, and desperately vented her frustrations. "You're going to Naavi? Luna's dead! What's the point? If you go now, you'll come back penniless!"Simon suddenly looked up and aggressively shook off Sophie's hand. Then, he stood up and glumly stepped closer to Sophie.Sophie was terrified by the vicious look in his eyes. She kept backing away until she hit the wall.Simon roughly grabbed her neck."If you hadn't stopped me from going to find Lulu, she and I would have reconciled long ago, and she wouldn't have had that car accident!"You indirectly killed Lulu! Sophie, I'll make you suffer after you give birth to the child!" Simon's voice was s

"Hunter instructed us to wait for the next rainy day. Once Ms. Baxter's car is parked in the company lot, we're to tamper with it," William Sr. informed before pausing and continuing in a low voice."Hunter repeatedly emphasized that we must make it as brutal as possible. He wants Ms. Baxter taken care of in one shot. If successful, he promised to add another 500 thousand dollars to our payment."Horace, who had been twirling his pen, suddenly stopped. A cold expression appeared on his handsome face."Ha, how generous of him."Hearing the icy undertone in Horace's voice, William Sr. was taken aback for a few seconds.Horace, who typically kept his emotions concealed, was now visibly showing his displeasure."So, what's my role in this, sir?" William Sr. asked cautiously.Horace thought for a moment and gave his instructions. "Make minor adjustments to the car. Nothing critical. Leave the rest to me." He planned to arrange for a stand-in to take Luna's place behind the wheel, set

"Yes." Luna nodded and calmly analyzed the situation. "If I fake my death, Simon will definitely rush over to mourn me. I can take away his assets then. After all, he loves to play the role of a devoted lover. Once I'm 'dead', Sophie won't let Hunter bother me anymore. Having her cling to me like a persistent pest has been such a headache."And most importantly, if Simon comes to Naavi for the mourning, I can ensure that Sophie, who's after his money, ends up with nothing."It was a plan that killed three birds with one stone!However, to successfully stage her fake death, she needed a helper. After much thought, Luna decided to seek Horace's assistance."So, what you mean is, you want me to recommend a method that can make someone believe they've successfully killed you, but without actually harming you?" A flicker of intrigue crossed Horace's handsome features.Luna nodded and, without hiding anything, recounted the events of the past two months. When speaking about those events

Judging from the force with which Luna was pushed, it was clear the culprit was a man.Horace stood up and thoughtfully suggested, "I'll take you to speak with the manager."A while later, in the surveillance room, the restaurant staff retrieved the footage but said apologetically, "The person covered the camera before making their move, Ms. Baxter. Unfortunately, the surveillance didn't capture the moment you were pushed into the water."Luna frowned at those words. "Did you capture a clear shot of this man's face on any of your cameras?"Four staff members began to take turns reviewing the footage. After half an hour, they all shook their heads."Our apologies, Ms. Baxter. He wore a mask and a hat. The cameras didn't capture his face."Luna's expression turned serious. "Send me all the surveillance footage where he appears."On the way home, Luna sent the surveillance clips to Clover. "Help me investigate this person," she requested."What happened?" Clover asked, her voice t

Luna froze for a moment before realizing that Clover was calling to remind her to be cautious.Clover undoubtedly was her best friend."I'll be careful," Luna replied.After hanging up, Luna decided not to tell her parents about Simon's plan to come.Her parents had already been worrying about her a lot recently. They were preparing to publicly announce that she would take over the Baxter family's business and help her rise to the top.That afternoon, Maple returned from the company. She gently knocked on Luna's door. "Lulu, come out with us for dinner tomorrow night. Your father and I want to introduce you to someone."Luna looked up from her computer and obediently replied, "Alright."She had already figured out her parents' recent behavior patterns. When they arranged private dinners, they were always with someone influential in the area.The following evening, Luna drove her parents to the destination. She didn't notice a black car closely following them from behind.The d

"Take the divorce papers to the attorney. Then, book a hotel and prepare the wedding venue in advance."Susanna froze for a moment before she tentatively asked, "Whose names should I write for the bride and groom, Mrs. Fulmer?""Simon Fulmer and Sophie Sutherland," Luna replied, to which Susanna didn't say another word.Sophie was Simon's first love.Susanna's voice trembled as she continued, "Mrs. Fulmer, h...
