Chapter 71

Whenever we saw detectives in movies wearing khaki trench coats and fedoras, we would joke about how they were trying too hard to look like detectives.Sophie was clearly not thinking straight. Confusion often did not result in the best judgment.She took off her sunglasses and looked around furtively.“Stop acting like that. Austin won’t notice us if you behave normally.”“Maybe we should just leave.” Running away was usually not her style. Sophie seemed tough most of the time, but she was timid when it came to romance.“Can’t you be a little braver?”“It’s not about being brave.” She looked at me and suddenly widened her eyes. Then, she pushed my hair aside. “What happened to your face? Oh, my God. Did that b*tch slap you?”She guessed correctly. Only Cecilia would have a grudge against me.“Keep your voice down. Aren’t you afraid of being spotted?” I pushed her hand away and covered my face with my hair again.“Why didn’t you fight back?”“I did, but I fell into a trap,” I

Chapter 72

“You ordered them, so you have them yourself.” I pushed the soups back to her. While we argued, I suddenly saw the waiter bring some familiar people to a table at the front.It was Zach and Cecilia.“D*mn it.” Sophie saw them too. “Those two jerks. Cassia, go over there and slap them.”“I want to, but won’t that expose us?”“True.” She sighed in frustration. “Why does everyone end up here? Is this the only restaurant in the area?”It was quite the coincidence.So, I kept turning my head during dinner. I looked at Austin, then at Zach and Cecilia. I felt like I was spinning around.Cecilia was gazing at Zach with a gentle smile. I thought she almost fainted from that slap, but she seemed fine to me.If Austin were not there, I would have gone over and slapped them. Did they think I was dead?While I was getting upset, Austin stood up and walked over to them.I held my breath. It appeared that Austin had spotted them. He said something to Zach, but we could not hear it.Howe

At this point, Sophie could not just disappear, so I had to open the window. Austin leaned on the car door and watched us with a slight smile.“Hi,” I said.“Hi,” he replied.I saw the handsome guy from earlier standing nearby. His black trench coat nearly blended into the night.I smiled awkwardly. “What a coincidence.”“Yeah, it is.”“Is he your friend?”“Yes.”“Aren’t you going to introduce us?”Austin looked at me and then at Sophie before he nodded at the handsome guy.The guy walked over, and Austin said, “This is Cassia Freeman and Sophie Freeman. The man who hit us earlier is her husband.”I held my hand out to shake hands with the guy, but after Austin’s comment, I was not sure if I should retract it.Nevertheless, he shook my hand and introduced himself, “I’m Lance Hawke.” His hand was warm.“Hawke, like the bird?”“Exactly.”He had the name of a leading man in a show, and Austin was his leading lady.“Nice to meet you.” Lance offered his hand to Sophie. She w

Chapter 74

The guy I liked was right before me on that beautiful night.He said, “Cassia, I like you but only as a childhood friend. I don’t feel the same way you do now, and I probably won’t in the future.”It shocked me, but I was good at getting over things. After a couple of tough days, I was back to normal.I promised myself that I would make Zach fall in love with me.So, I began a long pursuit and waited. After college, Zach joined Gordon Corporation and started dating Cecilia, which made me feel completely defeated.Even though I liked him, I had my principles. When he started dating Cecilia, I disappeared from his life.Cecilia set up several gatherings, but I never attended any of them.I knew that she was trying to show off her relationship with Zach to annoy me. I was not going to let her get to me.Later, something went wrong at the branch office that Zach was in charge of. His father got furious and attempted to remove him from the board. That was when Cecilia vanished witho

Chapter 75

I felt nervous and guilty for no reason.Austin had seen us at the restaurant, so Zach must have as well. He never loved me, and with Austin hitting him, it made sense if he wanted a divorce because of all the problems between us.My fingers were shaking a little. I knew that Zach had no feelings for me, but I did not want a divorce. At least, if we lived in the same house, I could see him more often.I was pathetic.I walked over to him and asked in a slightly shaky voice, “You wanted to talk to me?”“Yes.” He finished his wine and put the empty glass on the coffee table. “Sit down.”His politeness made me even more anxious.I sat on the couch across from him, while he clasped his hands and rested his elbows on his knees.His gaze made me uneasy. He was staring at me like he was trying to figure me out.I just happened to be at the same restaurant. What was the big deal?I never went there to confront him. Besides, he was wrong for having dinner with Cecilia behind my ba

“Go to the guest room if you can’t sleep. You’re really annoying.”“As if you can sleep.” She sat up in bed. “Call Austin for me and see if he’s home.”I rolled my eyes. “You’re so infuriating.”“That doesn’t matter. Just call him.”I gave in and gave Austin a call.He sounded sober, so I figured he had not drunk much.“Cassia?”“Where are you?”“Having a drink.”“Still at the club?”“Yeah. We haven’t changed locations. Why?”“When are you going back?”“Cassia, what’s going on?”I looked at Sophie, who gave me a knowing look, so I could only smile awkwardly. “Just missed you.”“I’ll head home later.”“Whose home?”“Cassia.”“Okay, bye.”Before Austin got angry, I quickly hung up. “You heard him. He’s still drinking.”“Austin doesn’t usually drink.”“He said it depends on who he’s with.”Sophie groaned and buried her face in a pillow. “I’m screwed.”“Screwed? Why?”“There are two types of people I can never compete with.”“What?”“One’s a dead person.”“What do

Chapter 77

I almost died of laughter because of Cecilia. She approached me so boldly to look for my husband. I had no idea where she got the nerve.To her, it did not seem to matter if Zach and I were married. In her mind, Zach was hers, and she had every right to ask me where he was.I took a sip of tea from my desk. Hailey had picked a good one this time. It was fragrant and just what I liked.I calmly enjoyed my tea and acted as if Cecilia was not even there.However, she sat down across from me. She was trying to pass the time since Zach was not around. I had a ton of work to do and no time for her nonsense.So, I put down my teacup. “This is an office. We only talk business here. If you’re looking for a man, try No. 48 North Street.”“What do you mean?” She looked confused.“They have all kinds of men there. You can pick anyone you want—tough, slim, young, or old.”“You’re telling me to go to a strip club?” Cecilia looked insulted. She always thought of herself as classy and felt tha

Chapter 78

I smiled coldly at her until she grew bored and turned away.“Cassia, I feel sorry for you. You’ve loved Zach for so many years and been so good to him, but he still doesn’t love you,” Cecilia suddenly said with a sincere expression. It was as if she was genuinely trying to understand the situation.“Because he has bad tastes.” Since she asked so boldly, I decided to answer her.Cecilia did not mind it. “What does a few harsh words matter? Cassia, you need to think about why Zach still doesn’t love you, despite everything you’ve done for him. You think I’m selfish for leaving when he needed me most. Yes, I admit that I was.” She leaned against the wall and smiled sweetly. Her smile was irritating.“You spent three years with him so that he could regain his confidence and even started Yonder Trading to help him with Gordon Corporation. I know you’ve done a lot, but what about it? As soon as I came back and he heard about me, he left you to be with me on your wedding night.” She put

Chapter 79

I walked in, and a housekeeper immediately approached us. “Madam, you’re back.”Madam? Who was she referring to?The housekeeper looked familiar. She might have worked for the Wilson or Gordon family before.The attentive housekeeper gave us some house slippers, while Cecilia smiled and said, “This is Cassia Freeman, a good childhood friend of mine. Mrs. Zimmer, do you remember her?”“Oh, Ms. Freeman! Yes, I remember.”“I haven’t been friends with you since I was ten.” I put on the slippers and walked inside.As soon as I entered, I had a strong feeling about the place.What feeling?There were many types of homes: new homes, marital homes, and homes shared with parents. You could tell a lot from the setting and decor.Looking around the living room, the words “love nest” came to mind.The place was full of Zach’s presence.For example, there was a photo of Zach and Cecilia on the living room wall. Zach was in a white shirt and pants, while Cecilia was in a white lace dress.

Chapter 80

“Did I break up with Zach?” she shamelessly said. “I don’t think I broke up with him. I just left without saying anything.”“But you wrote a breakup letter.”“I never wrote the words ‘break up’ in that letter.”I had seen that letter. After Cecilia suddenly left, Zach searched everywhere for her. Later, Mrs. Wilson gave him a letter and said that it was from Cecilia.After that, he got so drunk that he was still holding on to that letter when I dragged him home from the bar.I glanced at it and found it highly pretentious.She claimed that she was tired of seeing him so depressed, so she left to give him a chance to move on.I took a photo of it and sent it to Sophie, who said that it was “nonsense.”Thinking back on it, there really was no mention of breaking up.Cecilia was incredibly cunning. She left herself an out in case she could not find someone better than Zach.When his career took off, she came back as soon as she heard the news.I looked at her pretty face and di
