I was stunned, looking at my parents in disbelief. "Mom, Dad, it was Jessica who wronged me. What are you saying?"My mother slapped away my attempt to pull her hand. It was clear that she was frustrated. "Useless fool! That's your superior! What good can come from opposing him? Jessica was doing you a favor!""You can build a good relationship with your superior and get a pay raise. Shouldn’t money be more important?""Now that so many people have come, if you can't go through with the wedding, what about your parents' dignity?"A wave of bitterness surged inside me. I looked up with a self-deprecating smile and met the gaze of my father, who was carrying a large bag of expensive gift boxes, and Alex, who was standing nearby with a half-smile on his face.Alex met my gaze and walked over to pat my shoulder. "Tommy, I really need to thank you this time for lending me your fiancee in an emergency."Seeing Alex approach, Jessica also fell silent and stood next to him, looking lik

A new project was starting in Lesaf. He had set up a new company specifically for it and wanted me to head over there as the deputy general manager.Although the salary was very tempting, I looked at Jessica, who was sleeping peacefully in my arms, and shook my head.About an hour ago, Jessica solemnly gave me her virginity.She said she wanted to have a baby with me.If we decide to have a baby, living apart would certainly be inconvenient. Forcing her to move would also be disrespectful to her career.Back then, I was immersed in the joy of envisioning a lifetime with Jessica. After giving it some thought, I decided to cherish the happy life I had in front of me.But I didn't expect Jessica to trample on my feelings for her.Even my parents, for the sake of the job, sided with Jessica.So, I had nothing left to cling to.Thinking this, I took a cab home to start packing my things.Jessica thought I had been staying at my parents' house recently, but in fact, I had secretly

Jessica was stunned, rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't mistaken. There was indeed a woman with a captivating presence standing at the door."Who... who are you?"The woman took off her sunglasses, casually leaning against the door frame and curving the corner of her mouth. "Oh, guess."Seeing that no one was greeting her, the woman unceremoniously walked into the house on her high heels."Thomas, are you done? Just take the important stuff, and I'll buy you the rest!"Seeing that she was becoming more and more over the top, I quickly waved my hand and said, "No need. Let's go."The woman naturally took my suitcase and handed it to the bodyguard waiting at the door. Frowning, she turned back to look at the flustered Jessica and me."Oh, by the way, I've already bought this place. You have one day to move out, or I'll have to call security!"Jessica's eyes widened. "Thomas, when did you sell the house? What’s the rush? And why wasn’t I told about it?"I couldn't be bothere

Although Jessica's life was no longer my concern, I was still surprised to see that in just three months, she had become a waitress carrying trays.When we were together, even though my annual salary wasn't high, it was enough to support both of us and allowed Jessica to chase her dreams.Alex's salary was clearly higher than mine, so how did Jessica end up in such a situation?It wasn't until Jessica tearfully told me she was pregnant and Alex didn't want her that I understood what had happened.It turned out that Jessica got pregnant while living with Alex by accident.When Alex's family found out about the pregnancy, they insisted on marriage, which led to that hasty wedding scenario.Later, when their fake marriage was exposed, Alex's family believed the child was mine and refused to help support the pregnant woman.Alex, who was indulgent and didn't want Jessica to be pregnant, was pressuring her to get an abortion every day after finding out his family’s decision.Jessica

Jessica was shouting hoarsely from not far away, "Thomas, I will make you regret this!"I shrugged, instructed the driver to record a video, and then sent the evidence to the company's legal department.After all, this wasn't my car but a company-provided vehicle. Deliberate damage to company property would require compensation.‘Jessica, just wait to be punished. This is what you owe me.’On the other hand, Alex also encountered problems.It was said that after Jessica left home, Alex was reckless and accidentally got an intern girl pregnant.The company only learned about the situation when the intern girl missed work to undergo an abortion and suffered complications.The company fired Alex, and the intern's family sued him.The intern had gone to an unlicensed clinic for the abortion, and due to improper procedures, her uterus was perforated and had to be removed after emergency treatment.The young woman could no longer become pregnant.The intern came from a rural backgr

I called the police, and Jessica was arrested for spreading rumors. In a way, she and Alex were reunited.That same day, Mr. Chester, my father-in-law, announced the share distribution of the new company and cleared up the rumors.The new company in Lesaf was entirely my idea from the start.I held 99% of the shares and Mr. Chester only retained a 1% stake in the name of his company.All of my 1.6 million in savings was invested as startup capital for the new company, which was why my bank account showed no money.Mr. Chester's company had a clear policy. Employees could choose between shares and cash as their salary, and the higher the performance, the more shares they would receive.From the day I joined the company, I had always chosen to take shares.That was because I believe in the company and in myself.I believe in the appreciation of shares and in the eventual day when I could stand alongside Mr. Chester, becoming a figure like him.We both achieved it.After three f

Chapter 1 Hijacked WeddingEarly in the morning, the hotel I had booked called to say the venue would be delayed by a couple of hours.Who would announce such a major delay for a wedding at the last minute?Moreover, how could a wedding time be changed just like that?Even the calmest person would be infuriated, so I began yelling at the phone.The response on the other end was indifferent. "Miss Shaw has already agreed. If you have any problems, discuss it with your wife."I felt like someone had pulled the plug. My anger disappeared immediately.Jessica was usually a reasonable person. The hotel must have used some kind of excuse to make her give up our wedding time.But such a big event as a wedding, where the time was carefully chosen and invitations had already been sent out, our relatives must be nearing the hotel by now. Jessica was being unreasonable!I instinctively pulled out my phone to call Jessica, but the call was hung up almost immediately.I facepalmed myself.

Relatives gathered curiously to see what was happening inside. My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively closed the door, cutting off my parents' inquisitive gazes.The people on stage also noticed me and turned their heads in unison.The man who was half-kneeling was Alex Clinton, Jessica's dream guy and also my current superior.Alex had a neutral expression and looked at me with a smile. "Tommy, is there something wrong?"The term "Tommy" immediately defined our respective statuses.Jessica, standing beside him, not only offered no explanation but instead glared at me with a threatening look.I understood immediately. It was a look that told me to shut up. During the three years that we had been together, the only time the usually mild-mannered Jessica got truly angry was when she gave me that look.I instinctively fell silent.In the next moment, I laughed self-deprecatingly. My fiancee, my venue, my wedding time—my wife was marrying someone else without a word of explan
