The moment I ran out the door, I tore the movie ticket that I'd been holding so tightly that it was crumpled into shreds. Then, I threw it into the trashcan.Having left in such a hurry, I forgot to take my white cane. Accidentally, I bumped into a vase near the door, and the broken porcelain pieces cut into my calf.I cried out in pain. Yvette Lynch noticed it first. "Chester, I think she's hurt. Aren't you going to check on her?"Upon hearing what she said, Chester Caldwell said impatiently, "Look at how bad-tempered she is. She even threatened to run away from home! She won't know how much I've cared for her these few years if she doesn't experience the cold reality out there herself! Let her go! She'll just have to learn it through the hard way."Yvette clicked her tongue. Then, she asked, "I prefer this movie. Since she's not watching that one, why don't you join me?"Chester agreed without hesitation, ignoring the blood gushing out of my calf.…Limping, I left the villa w

That day, my sister, Ruby Seafield, was the one who picked me up. Upon hearing her familiar voice through the phone, I burst into tears.She was admitted to the hospital for gastrointestinal bleeding. However, when she heard me cry, she immediately pulled out the indwelling needle and came to get me without hesitation. She didn't even know what happened to me when she did so.I was in a terrible state. Pulling me into her arms, she asked, heartbroken, "Riley, why didn't you tell us what happened to you? How would Mom and Dad really be mad at you? They just thought it was embarrassing to take the initiative to contact you!"How dare he bully my family! I must make him pay!"Although the Seafield family wasn't as rich as the Caldwell family, which had been affluent for generations, we were wealthy nonetheless. Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have been so mad back then. They didn't understand why I was so lovesick when I was well-provided for and well-loved.I couldn't understand what

I responded with a slap to his face. Dumbstruck for a moment, he flew off the handle soon after. He raised his hand to hit me, scolding, "Riley Seafield, don't be so ungrateful when I'm trying to be kind!"There, his pride wouldn't allow him to go further than that.If it weren't for the pressure from the Caldwell family and his own image, he wouldn't even have come to me.In the wedding he promised, I was sure he'd straight out get Yvette to be the bride instead.I raised my hand to shield myself. Just then, Ruby opened the door and pulled me in.When I remained silent, Chester inhaled deeply and said, "Riley, think carefully. It was my fault for leaving you alone on the streets. But although you were assaulted, you weren't actually harmed."He continued loud and clear, "I'm already showing your family enough respect by coming here to offer you this solution. If you refuse to take it, I won't save you from further humiliation."I was trembling with anger.It once crossed my mi

For a long time, I had thought Chester just didn't love me. But just seconds ago, it dawned on me. It wasn't that he didn't love me. He didn't love anyone. The only person he loved was himself.Yvette barged in and splashed the boiling water she picked up on her way here on his face. Screaming, she slapped him twice. "Chester Caldwell, how could you do this to me? Were all those sweet talks a goddamn lie?"However, Chester couldn't bother to console her. Instead, he pushed her aside and anxiously grabbed my arm. Now, I was all he could think of.He hastily said, "Riley, you have to believe me. I had been misled by Yvette. Actually… I've fallen in love with you. When you weren't with me, I'd been thinking about you all the time. I regret treating you like that. Please come back to me, okay?"He refused to let go of my hand. For the sake of his future and reclaiming authority over Caldwell Group, he hadn't realized that the guests had huddled outside the room. They were enjoying the
