All Chapters of Heard His Thoughts, I Left Him at the Altar: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I always had a unique kind of mind-reading ability—I could hear the thoughts of people who didn't truly love me. Thanks to this ability, I could effortlessly tell whether someone's feelings for me were real or not.It allowed me to quickly pull away from fake friends and remain completely unaffected, even when someone I had a crush on for years confessed his love. It even came in handy for mundane things—like choosing pumpkins. Hearing a vendor's silent grumbles about which ones were overripe or hollow meant I always left with the best pick.I could hear every word people thought with complete clarity.Therefore, I avoided eye contact with strangers in daily life to keep the noise to a minimum.But when I met Shawn Bacon for the first time, the whole world went quiet. All I could hear was our voices, clear as crystal."Hello, would it be all right if we got to know each other?"I hesitated, waiting for the inevitable murmur of his inner thoughts. But there was nothing.When

I kept a slight smile, shaking my head as if unbothered, and directed a nearby waiter to show her to a seat.'You fool, I've spelled it out for you. Can't you see I'm here to make trouble?' Wendy said inwardly.As soon as she walked past, Tonya couldn't resist letting out her frustration. "Just look at her, strutting around like she owns the place. I can't stand it."I shrugged. 'Right now, she thinks I'm the laughingstock. In her mind, Shawn's ready to throw me away for her. She's about to star in the perfect 'lovers reunited' scene, forcing the Bacon Family to accept her.'The wedding venue wasn't far from the airport. As I sat in the quiet terminal, the ceremony hadn't yet begun.I kept my eyes on the time, waiting for the show to start.Suddenly, a steady stream of notifications lit up my phone. Tonya, practically buzzing with excitement, was sending me updates in real time.'Helena, it's happening! She's actually doing it!''Damn, they're cheating but acting like some star-crossed

As soon as I mentioned the topic of returning home, my parents were quick to respond.In fact, they had already arranged for someone to pick me up by the time I had just landed. I had barely gotten into the car when Tonya started filling me in on all the drama that had unfolded in my absence."The wedding was a complete disaster in the end. Eventually, the guests trickled out in small groups, leaving just a few staff behind. Since our family and the Bacon Family are on friendly terms, we stayed to help calm Mrs. Bacon, who was so angry she could hardly stand."She slapped Shawn right across the face. Serves him right, if you ask me. Everyone knows how much you helped him climb the ladder back then. "And as for Wendy, she's nothing but an illegitimate daughter. Pulling a public stunt like running out on her own wedding is the height of betrayal. It didn't just bring shame to Shawn; the whole Bacon Family was left red-faced."Master Bacon didn't even look at him; he just walked o

In response to Shawn's so-called confession, I could only think, 'Serves him right.'After that, I handed over everything related to the project to my assistant, Xena Marsey. She managed most of it on her own, and whenever she was unsure, I would step in to guide her, but I made it a point to avoid dealing with Shawn directly. I knew exactly what he was trying to pull. But betrayal? Once was more than enough for me. There would be no second chances.In the end, Xena went to Chilia on my behalf and successfully secured the project. She also returned with another bit of news. "Mr. Bacon asked me to let you know he's divorced now."The moment Wendy started planting people in the company, I had a vague feeling something like this would happen. I just didn't expect it so soon. Even Tonya seemed a bit taken aback when I sent a message to her."Really? I just found out myself. How are you so in the loop?" she asked, surprised.I smirked. "We reconnected recently because of the proj
