Sitting alone in the lounge, Charlotte clutched the earrings tightly. The quietness actually calmed her down. She closed her eyes and cursed Griffith countless times in her mind before consoling herself. As the evening banquet was about to begin, she recollected herself and returned to the venue. Many prominent figures were attending the evening banquet.

She composed herself and saw Griffith sitting in the front row. She straightened her back and walked casually over, and sat next to him. Griffith glanced at her and ignored her. The state of their relationship was well-known among the guests, so nobody dared to sit near them. They both sat in silence until it was time for Nora to deliver an opening speech. She briefly said a few words and then invited tonight's special guest.

Katie Hussey appeared in a white gown with a classic open-back design, showcasing her stunning figure. All the wealthy ladies present could not help but feel nervous while glancing at their husbands. However, th

    Griffith grabbed Charlotte's hand. She instantly realized that the message he received was most likely from Katie Hussey. She would be embarrassed if she failed to bid the set of purple jewelry back; that was why she had asked Griffith to stop Charlotte from bidding."Miss Katie has bid $10.5 million. Mrs. Wilson, do you want to raise the bid?" the auctioneer asked. The crowd whispered among themselves.Charlotte tried to pull her hand away, but Griffith held it firmly."Can't I buy a piece of jewelry I like?" she said.He looked at her and said, "Is this really about the jewelry, or is it just to compete with her?""No matter what, don't I have the right to do so?" She looked at him and smiled mirthlessly, "Griffith, I don't want to lose to her with so many people watching."He furrowed his brow and pressed his lips."Help me just this one time," she said bitterly.They looked at each other in silence for a moment. Griffith shifted his eyes to the LED screen. When the auctio

    The tense atmosphere was palpable inside a Bentley parked at the roadside. Arthur and the chauffeur did not even dare to make a sound. Griffith loosened his tie in the back seat and said solemnly, "All this for that set of jewelry?"Charlotte smiled mirthlessly and said, "You think I'm being unreasonable?"Griffith furrowed his brow and replied impatiently, "I told you, if you want the jewelry, I'll find you another set. What else are you dissatisfied with?""I'm dissatisfied with everything!" She looked at him and asked, "You bought that set of jewelry for her, didn't you?"Griffith remained silent.Charlotte closed her eyes and leaned heavily on the seat, feeling a pathetic sense of despair. She was completely drained and could not care less about expressing her thoughts. Nothing mattered anymore since she had already demanded a divorce. Today's confrontation should not have stirred her emotions. She should have rationally retrieved what rightfully belonged to her.After taking

    9 o'clock at the Garden of Eden, a luxurious club owned by Isabella Kensington, a well-known socialite in the city. The plan tonight was to entertain Eli, but unexpectedly, he brought Griffith along.A woman brought a bottle of hard liquor and filled the glasses on the table before Griffith as she said, "Griffith, are you in a bad mood?"Griffith leaned against the sofa. His gloomy expression was a prominent warning to leave him alone. With Charlotte's erratic behavior that happened two hours ago still constantly replaying in his mind, no wonder he was bitter. Eli was sitting across from him. He smiled and teased Griffith, "Bella, don't provoke him. He's probably been fighting with the missus at home and has nowhere to vent his anger."Griffith glanced coldly at Eli."So, I guessed it correctly," Eli could not help but laugh. He then gave Isabella a hint with his eyes.Isabella understood and said, "I'll go get some fruits."After Isabella left the room, Eli said, "I just came fr

    Charlotte returned to Ava's apartment. After showering, she sat in front of a desk, treating the wound on her ear. She seemed distracted by her thoughts while Ava was sitting on the edge of the bed, ranting endlessly."That Katie Hussey is such a whore! Who does she think she is?! Is she that proud of herself for being a mistress? Hell, shame on her!""Don't get me started on Griffith Wilson as well! That son of a g*n! Did he think he could become so powerful without your grandfather's contribution? Despicable!"The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Then she looked at Charlotte and asked, "Hey, are you going to sue him?"Charlotte snapped back to her senses and looked at her. "Sue him?""Yeah.""With what? I'm broke. It was just a bluff. It would be best if he's willing to divorce," Charlotte said.Ava sighed. She knew with William being hospitalized and his final exam around the corner, Charlotte could not possibly cause a scene, or else the members of the Scott Family would

    Charlotte received a notification from the City Hall at 1 o'clock in the morning. It stated that she had an appointment for a divorce settlement and reminded her to arrive on time.She sat on the bed, lost in thoughts. Shortly after, she received a message from Arthur.Arthur: [Mrs. Wilson, I will pick you up at ten o 'clock in the morning.]Charlotte: [Alright.]Things seemed to be finally settled. Strangely, she felt more at ease and slept through the night compared to the last time. In the morning, she put on a set of casual clothes and went down. Arthur came to pick her up, and they headed over to the City Hall. They did not enter the main hall and went directly to an office on the first floor instead.Slightly puzzled, Charlotte saw Griffith was already waiting in the office along with two men dressed formally. They were most probably his lawyer and staff of the City Hall. It seemed like this time, they were really getting a divorce.She sat beside Griffith and said, "Let's

    "Reinstate the black card, and I demand 450,000 dollars as my monthly expenses," Charlotte said.Griffith glanced at her and snorted, "Is this your way to get rich?""This request doesn't seem unreasonable," she responded."So, before the divorce, you didn't want money. But now that we're divorced, I should give you an allowance?"Charlotte realized how foolish she was in the past. She knocked on the table and responded, "I was stupid for not taking your money! Do you know how difficult your family members are to deal with? Moreover, I need money to hang out with them. Even a simple afternoon tea with them costs a few hundred dollars, so should I pay for it myself?!"Griffith furrowed his brow."I don't care. I'm demanding 450,000 dollars for dealing with your family members," Charlotte argued, getting all worked up.The lawyer tentatively asked, "Mr. Wilson…"Exasperated, Griffith responded, "Let her have it!"The lawyer quickly added her latest request to the contract.She

    "This is the first time I've seen someone so happy about getting a divorce," the driver said.Charlotte heard the driver when she got out of the taxi. She smiled and walked toward Griffith's mansion with confidence. After tidying up the master bedroom, she instructed the maids not to enter the room for cleaning in the future.Griffith seemed to be on a business trip, as he had not returned for several days after the divorce. Charlotte did not seem to care about his absence. She found out a high-end art gallery was looking to hire a part-time pianist and was eager to apply.Ava was familiar with the art gallery manager; she reassured Charlotte, "Don't worry, you only need to play three hours a day to create an ambiance in the exhibition hall. The piano is in the center of the exhibition hall, surrounded by indoor fountains and far away from the audience. They can hardly see your face."Charlotte took it seriously. She wore a long white dress, played two songs during the interview, a

    Sarah averted her gaze and did not say anything more. She got up and walked out of the examination room. Shortly after, another female gynecologist attended Charlotte. After the examination, Charlotte felt a persistent subtle pain in her private part. She had a hunch that it was injured. The test results returned quickly, and there was nothing wrong with her."If there's no problem, why can't she get pregnant?" Nora questioned skeptically.The gynecologist listed several possibilities, and Michelle interjected, "Aunt Nora, maybe she's destined to be childless?"It reminded Nora about the rumors calling Charlotte a jinx. She looked at Charlotte with a darkened expression and said, "I'll have a psychic over to investigate this matter in a couple of days."Charlotte thought Nora was being absurd but responded calmly. She thought she could finally leave, but Nora added, "You're coming with us. We're going to the Garden of Eden.""Nora, I have something to do today," Charlotte replied.

    Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.

    Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w

    Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these

    Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long

    The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting

    Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen

    "You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good. Due to illness, her stepfather had retired from his position as a butler of the Sterling family. Although the Sterlings provided a retirement package, Mr. Moran was getting old, and he had a son. She heard that his son's business had lost a considerable amount of money in recent years. As a stepdaughter, she had already received enough help from them, so how could she ask for more money?During her university days, she didn't ask her family for money. If she could find a part-time job, she would, and if not, she would endure it just to avoid causing her mother trouble."Mom, I don't need money. I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer

    After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n

    "What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
