"Emma, do you know how much I truly despise you? Lily is much better than you," Mark said as he plunged a sharp knife in her heart.“I truly waited for this day and for you to die,” he finished speaking, laughed loudly, and stood up, leaving Emma to embrace the knife that was slowly dripping blood out of her heart."I never loved you; it was all just a drama for everyone. You loved me, right? Then die to prove it."The atmosphere in the house was both cold and rigid, and the room was now filled with the scent of fresh blood. Emma's body was covered in wounds, and she helplessly looked at him with eyes full of disgust, regretting that she couldn't rise and stab him. Emma hated him to the core. She never expected that this marriage was initially his plan, and her love for him had vanished completely. If someone were to ask her the biggest regret of her life, Emma would not hesitate to answer: loving him and marrying a scoundrel like him."Emma, why do you look so gloomy since you came b
After bringing Nancy home, Emma found herself standing in front of the Green mansion, a place both familiar and estranged, five years ago.Unable to restrain her emotions, Emma's feelings surged as she entered the grand hall, seeing her parents' portraits, their eyes filled with tears.If it weren't for her misguided marriage to Mark in the past, her parents wouldn't have met such a tragic end. The accident that year was Mark's conspiracy, resulting in the deaths of both her father and mother. Emma, fortunately, survived, embraced by them but left with the agony she didn't want to remember or relive."Emma, weren't you supposed to be at Mount Denali, praying for Mark's happiness? Why are you back so soon?" Her mother, Mabel, asked gently.Emma struggled to hold back tears in her eyes. She approached her mother, smiling faintly, realizing that everything had changed. Emma would make Mark pay for his deeds, and the William family would soon be ruined by her hands, ensuring that no one w
Today, Emma wore a shoulder-bearing dress that showcased her alluring figure. Her everyday tied-up hair was now gently let loose, adding to her allure. She glanced around; in her previous life, she never visited places like this, always holding a hint of disdain. Her phone chimed with a text message, and she picked it up."Where are you?" It was a message from Nancy, who had planned to go shopping together but couldn't find Emma at home."I'm at the nightclub."On the other end, Nancy almost dropped her phone. Emma, who had never come to such places before, was now here on her own."Who are you with?""Alone."Nancy, worried for her friend, quickly got in her car and headed to the nightclub. Emma placed her phone down, continued scanning the surroundings, and took a sip of her drink, frowning."If you can't handle it, don't drink it."A deep, low voice echoed in Emma's ear. She turned her head and recognized David. Today, Emma's purpose for coming here was to meet David. She had resea
Upon returning from the nightclub, Emma hurriedly took a shower. She lay on her beloved bed, holding the black card she took from David's wallet. This man was truly unpredictable, but he was the one who would help Emma seek revenge.Emma recalled the scene just before her death. At that time, she had returned from studying abroad, complying with her family's intention to arrange a marriage. The predetermined marriage filled Emma with resentment. She loved Mark, but he married her only for the wealth of the Wilson family.FLASHBACKThe car was navigating through the heavy rain on a difficult road, carrying Emma, her parents, and Mark back to the mansion."Dad? The road seems challenging.""Yes, you and your mother should sit carefully."Normally, the family's private driver would take them, but today, Emma's father insisted on driving himself. Suddenly, the brakes failed, and the speed increased rapidly. Outside, heavy rain made the road even more challenging."Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"The
The entire night, Emma found it difficult to sleep. Early in the morning, she woke up to find that she was late, hastily grabbing her phone."Damn it, why hasn't David contacted me?"Emma thought David would get in touch eventually, but there was no sign of any communication from him. Annoyed, she tossed David's black card into her wardrobe before heading downstairs."Miss, where are you going?"The butler was already there, waiting for Emma. She had returned from studying abroad just a few days ago. Mark was on a business trip at the same time, so they hadn't had a chance to meet. Though Emma, having come back to life, knew Mark was lying, she paid no attention."I'm going to the company.""The master said you should rest. Tonight, we need to meet the young master Mark's family."Hearing this, Emma furrowed her brows, looking around to ensure no one was present before turning to the butler."I know, I'll go to the company and talk to my father.""Yes."Finally, after Emma spoke, the
In a room at a restaurant, the food had already been arranged, and all five people remained silent, creating a somewhat heavy atmosphere. Finn Green took the initiative to speak."It's quite embarrassing; Emma said the girl would be here soon.""No problem, it's Mark's fault for not picking up Emma."After leaving the company, Emma immediately went shopping for clothes. Her father had instructed her to arrive a bit early and have a meal with Mark's family. However, Emma had managed to surprise her father by arriving an hour late."That's right; you should have picked up Emma," Mark Green admitted, taking responsibility. Mark had called Emma before coming, but she had declined, insisting on driving herself.As the uncomfortable atmosphere lingered, a sound reached them from the entrance."Hello, everyone; sorry, I'm late."All five people turned their eyes to Emma, who appeared in a tight black outfit. The black jeans and tight black top complemented her figure, and her makeup was diff
Emma walked away quickly, distancing herself from Mark. She turned around to make sure Mark wasn't following, then said firmly, "Mark, don't blame me. I don't want to be with you for another minute."She silently planned to call her best friend Nancy to come pick her up. Emma wanted to make sure Mark couldn't find her.After a while, someone answered the phone. Emma hastily asked her friend, "Where are you?""I'm at the club."The phone transmitted noise, and Emma could only hear Nancy's faint voice. "Can you come pick me up?""No, you're having dinner with Mark's family, right?"Although Nancy couldn't hear Emma clearly in the loud club, she knew Emma was meeting Mark's family today.Emma intended to explain further, but she noticed Mark searching for her in the distance. Without responding to Nancy, she quickly hung up. About 5 meters away, she saw a car with its door open. Without much thought, Emma ran towards the car and got inside.The crucial thing now was not to let Mark see h
In the nightclub, after receiving Emma's call, Nancy found her phone also turned off and unable to be restarted. She attempted to reboot it, and called Emma back, but in vain. Planning to leave the nightclub, she collided with a man."No manners, huh?"The ferocious man glared at her, and Nancy, wanting to leave quietly, restrained herself from speaking."Apologies."As Nancy took a step, the man grabbed her hand. Nancy's face lost its initial patience, and the man, upon seeing her face, became more desirous."Girl, an apology won't solve everything.""What do you want?"Nancy scornfully looked at the man before her, attempting to free her hand forcefully."What's your name? Do you want to have a drink with me?""Boring."Nancy was indifferent, and the man, angered by her response, attracted even more attention with his rude actions."You bump into me, and you act like this?"He forcefully pulled her hand, and in response, Nancy punched him in the face."You lunatic, do you want to di
Since the day Nancy overheard Dylan telling lies, she hadn’t given him a chance to see her again. She even blocked his number and avoided him at the hospital whenever possible.Nancy didn’t know when she had gotten used to living without Dylan’s help, but she was managing just fine. Although they hadn’t officially broken up yet, she believed it was better to remain calm and let things resolve gradually.One day, after her hospital shift, a young woman with a slightly protruding belly entered her office.“Excuse me, is this Dr. Nancy’s office?”“Yes, it is. Did you come to the wrong place? I’m not an obstetrician,” Nancy replied politely.The woman looked hesitant, and Nancy immediately sensed that she wasn’t there for a medical consultation but rather to discuss something important.“Could you please step outside to talk with me?” the woman asked nervously.“Alright,” Nancy said after a moment’s thought, agreeing out of curiosity to hear what the woman had to say.“What is it? Go ahea
Emma initially paid little attention, but the name on the business card caught her eye. Earlier, she had felt the woman looked familiar, but now she was certain—it was Kaning, someone she had met before.However, something puzzled her. In such a short time, how had an ordinary girl like Kaning transformed and ended up here, looking so different from what Emma remembered?“This might work in your favor,” David remarked, handing Emma Kaning’s business card.“What do you mean?” Emma asked, her curiosity piqued.“You’ll find out soon enough,” David replied cryptically, his calm demeanor masking deeper knowledge.Emma couldn’t fully grasp what David was hinting at, but it was clear he knew something about Kaning. That realization made her even more aware of David’s meticulous nature. It became evident that David had sensed Kaning’s intentions from the moment she approached him. The exchange of contact information was something he had anticipated.Emma also began to suspect that Kaning’s ap
Sarah was at home when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She thought for a moment but couldn’t guess who might be coming to see her.“Mark?”Sarah was surprised to see Mark standing in front of her. Ever since Mark married Lily, his visits had become less frequent. Mark walked into Sarah's house with a displeased expression. In the past, he often came to see Sarah, but recently, she had been busy with work.Mark and Lily had already held their wedding, so he rarely visited Sarah anymore. Before, even after announcing his engagement, Mark would still come to see her frequently.“Something's bothering you, isn’t it?”Looking at his irritated demeanor and sudden visit, Sarah could already piece things together. She knew that Mark had married Lily because she was pregnant. However, after the wedding, Sarah hadn’t seen Lily at all. She simply assumed that Lily was resting and taking care of her pregnancy.“That’s right.”Sarah didn’t know what had made Mark so upset and angry. She po
The news of David and Emma’s engagement sent shockwaves through the public, sparking a whirlwind of discussions. Everyone regarded the couple with admiration. Meanwhile, Mark read the headlines with a deep frown etched on his face.Mark, who had always wanted to marry Emma, now found himself watching as events unfolded in a way he couldn’t control. Taking out his phone, he called someone. The moment the call connected, he spoke curtly:"Take action."Without waiting for a response, he hung up. His sharp gaze hinted at a brewing plan, one that promised to be significant.At Emma’s family company, her older brother Mark had recently been entrusted with her former position by their father upon his return. Emma, in contrast, was now working at David’s company. With both companies being major players in the industry, the impending marriage between Emma and David was expected to strengthen their business alliance further.Today, Emma walked confidently into David’s company, dressed in an el
Today, Helen returned to school. Previously, she had a fight with her father and decided not to go home. In the end, her older brother David stepped in to mediate, and everything was resolved. Helen eventually returned home, but in the days leading up to this, many people had intentionally picked fights with her.At first, Helen ignored them, but their actions became so outrageous that conflicts arose. When Helen was attacked, Gun stepped in to shield her and ended up getting injured himself."Have you heard the news? That company just went bankrupt." "Yeah, wasn’t it the son of the owner who caused trouble for Helen?"As Helen stepped onto campus, she instantly became the center of everyone’s attention. She had no idea what was going on until a girl ran up to her."Sister Helen…"The girl ran up, panting heavily. Helen frowned as the girl took a deep breath before speaking."The person who caused trouble for us the other day has voluntarily dropped out of school, and his family has
Emma returned to the villa and received a phone call. She hesitated, not wanting to answer, but eventually picked up."Emma, let’s meet."Emma let out a scornful laugh and sat down on her bed."Mark, you’re married now. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Why would you want to meet me?""I have something to tell you."No one despised Mark more than Emma did, though Mark still didn’t understand why. He only cared about taking over Emma’s company, oblivious to the fact that David had been relentlessly pressuring his own business. Currently, David’s company was constantly outmaneuvering Mark’s, with David effortlessly winning the most recent contract without breaking a sweat. This left Mark seething with resentment."I don’t want to see you," Emma said firmly."Just five minutes. I really need to talk to you.""I’m afraid Lily or the paparazzi might catch us together. I don’t want Lily to come after me and cause trouble."Since Mark’s outrageous behavior toward Emma—especially
The next morning, Emma woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She panicked upon realizing she had fallen asleep next to David again. Hastily, she checked her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief before carefully observing David. He was still sound asleep.The night before, after successfully securing the contract, Emma and David drank together but had no idea when they became intoxicated. Luckily, nothing had happened between them, but Emma couldn’t shake her anxiety. She recalled a memory from the night before when David had taken off her glasses.“Laura, you look very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?” “No, we haven’t.”Even though Emma had been drinking, she still managed to snatch her glasses back, fearing that David might discover her false identity as Laura. Seeing him still asleep now, she finally felt at ease. It seemed that he was so drunk he would likely forget everything from last night.Emma quickly grabbed her handbag and left the hotel without any intention of
In moments like these, James truly felt like a soothing balm for the heart of someone as lonely as Nancy. Feeling her pain, James held Nancy tighter, wanting to let her cry as much as she needed. The days ahead would be better; Nancy would return to her normal, cheerful, and happy self. That was exactly what he wished for.Emma had successfully pulled David out of the nightclub. David felt utterly helpless against this stubborn girl. Together, they went to a clothing shop to change outfits.They straightened up their appearance and improved everything to meet the client. At this point, they were already an hour late for the appointment. "Are you sure they haven’t left yet?" "Of course." Emma replied confidently. If she was sure about something, it was always within her control. Fearing her identity might be exposed, Emma only changed her clothes, leaving her hairstyle and makeup intact.When they arrived, David was genuinely surprised to see everyone in high spirits. Emma, too, fel
It was a message from James. He had taken a photo of David at a nightclub. If it hadn’t been for James informing her, Emma wouldn’t have been able to find David. The nightclub had very tight security, and if David didn’t want to meet her, there would have been no way for Emma to get to him.Emma quickly turned her car around and drove straight to the nightclub where David was. James knew David had an important contract today, which was why he deliberately sent the information to Emma.“You’re here already?”James had been waiting for her at the entrance. Thanks to his help, Emma was able to enter the club smoothly. Her presence immediately drew attention, but she didn’t care. She made her way to the private room where David was and barged in without hesitation.“What are you doing here?”David was visibly surprised to see Emma. It had been a long time since she’d seen him in a place like this.“Get back to the company right now. We need to meet with the client.”Emma knew being gentle
