Chapter 1

"Mr. Linton, are you sure you want me to arrange for Sean and Mrs. Linton's wedding in a month's time?" James Linton's secretary, Eric, sounded a little hesitant on the other end of the line.Standing in front of a French window, James looked at the gradually darkening sky. "Yes. Arrange the best wedding for them. Make sure it's grand."Eric was a little taken aback, not sure what James was thinking.Sean Greenwood was the person who James's wife, Wendy Bundred, had cheated on James with.'Why does Mr. Linton want to hold a wedding for them?' wondered Eric."Book a ticket to Wanera for me on the day of their wedding. Also... contact Dr. Anderson for me."Eric didn't dare ask too many questions. A while later, the call to Dr. Anderson was answered. James then began speaking in Waneran. "Anderson... I want to undergo the memory erasure operation.""Once you've undergone the operation, you'll forget everything about your wife. Have you made up your mind?"James remained silent for

Chapter 2

Wendy was very happy that James was understanding and had gone home for two continuous nights.It had been a very long time since she went home to sleep.James stood at the door for a long time before opening the door.He coincidentally locked gazes with Wendy.She had probably just gotten home as well. She was just removing the necklace on her neck.When she saw James, she was taken aback.The clock on the wall showed that it was 11 o'clock at night.James could smell the faint smell of men's scent in the room. This caused him to furrow his brows slightly.'She's probably just got back from a date with Sean,' thought James.He forced himself to remain calm and slowly sat down beside the table.Wendy slowly walked over and sat on the opposite side. She raised her brows and then smiled. "Why are you back so late?""I just finished a meeting with foreign designers. We're in different time zones." James's face was indifferent. "I ordered a suit for Sean from an Idalian designer

Chapter 3

As soon as Sean said those words, the atmosphere became awkward.All the servants were shocked. But due to the look on Wendy's face, none of them dared to say anything.Sean pretended not to notice anything and smiled gently. "Wendy kept saying that I'm not as smart as you. You always have a solution when a problem arises. Unlike me, who could only sigh when I came across a problem. This means that I can't be successful."James held his phone tightly in his hands. He forced himself to suppress his disgust by thinking about the plane ticket and operation in a month's time. "You seem like quite a smart guy to me, Mr. Greenwood. You've kept quiet about having a child with Wendy and about the wedding."The smile on Sean's face froze. The sarcasm was evident in those words.Sean turned around and looked at Wendy. "Wendy, I think I might have sprained my ankle on my way here. It hurts..."Wendy's face changed and she began to panic. "Where does it hurt? Let's go see a doctor!""I thin

Chapter 4

James stayed at a hotel for several consecutive days.From the moment Sean stepped into the home he shared with Wendy, James no longer wanted to return to that house.At dawn, he instructed his driver to take him to the law firm.While waiting at a traffic light, he opened Sean’s livestream.During the livestream, Sean accidentally revealed the kiss marks on his neck.“I’m about to have a wedding with my wife. I’ll stream it live for everyone when the time comes,” he announced, his face flushed with excitement as he shared the good news with his fans.‘His wife... If Wendy’s his wife, then who is my wife?’ wondered James.James turned his head to look at the rain streaks drifting past the car window.Jelaston was a city of frequent rain.It had also been raining on the day he and Wendy registered their marriage.Carl Jackson had served as the Bundred family’s lawyer for a lifetime and had practically watched James and Wendy grow up.“James, are you sure you want to divorce W

“Please adjust the share transfer allocation yet again,” said James, his face pale. “As for the Bundred Group’s shares, I don’t want any of them.”He had made up his mind long ago. Since he had decided to leave, he would repay all the kindness the Bundred family had shown him.The Bundred family had supported him for 20 years, giving him a life-changing opportunity.He had preserved the Bundred family’s business and would return all the shares as repayment for their kindness.In the end, he still came out ahead.Thanks to the education he had received over the years, he had developed many skills.He had also managed to save some assets to rely on.As for Wendy…“All you're doing now is managing the Bundred Group for my child.” Sean’s words echoed in his ears. “Wendy cares about me and would always tip me on my livestream channel. All the money belongs only to me. Me and my child will both have a bright future ahead of us.”Since she had been heartless toward him, why should he

Chapter 6

When Wendy and Sean returned, it was already a week later.The day they came back, James happened to be at home.The sound of laughter and playful banter echoed as Sean planted a kiss on Wendy's face.“Honey, I really like the wedding rings you chose.”Under the crystal chandelier, the sparkling diamond ring radiated brilliantly.“Oh, James is home too.”Standing in the living room, Sean looked surprised.After a brief hesitation, he pulled a box out of his bag. “James, I got you a gift as well. Look, I picked this out myself. Do you like it?”James suddenly felt disgusted.He and Wendy weren’t even officially divorced yet, but the shameless homewrecker dared to stride into his home with such audacity.And now, he had the gall to act as though he were a master handing down rewards to a servant.“No need, keep it for yourself,” James replied curtly, rejecting the gift as he turned and headed upstairs.“Honey, is James mad at me?”Wendy quickly coaxed him in a soft voice. “H

Chapter 7

“Sir…”Several servants cautiously approached him, their voices trembling as they softly inquired, “Are you alright?”James struggled to control his shaking. He took a deep breath and forced a smile that was more heartbreaking than tears.“Call an ambulance for me, please. I can’t move anymore.”Under their pitiful gazes, James was carried into the ambulance.His injuries were worse than he had expected, with bruises and abrasions covering his entire body.“These injuries are severe. Don’t you have any family to stay with you?”The doctor couldn’t help but comment as he treated James’s wounds. “You’ll need help since you won’t be able to move around.”“I don’t have any family,” replied James, his voice distant and hollow. “There’s no one in this world who’s tied to me anymore.”His parents were gone and Wendy… she was gone too.Or maybe, she was never truly there to begin with.As the nurse wheeled him out, he overheard two other nurses gossiping nearby.“Did you hear? That

Chapter 8

The wedding was held at a seven-star hotel.Sean seemed to deliberately disgust James, every flower, every decoration, and even every dish was brought to James for his opinion.“Sean is very busy, and he needs to take care of his health. You should help with setting up the venue,” Wendy said matter-of-factly.“I’m busy preparing for pregnancy as well,” she added.“Yes, James, I trust you. What you like, I like too,” Sean said with a smile. “James, treat this like it’s your own wedding Nothing can go wrong.”James looked at his triumphant demeanor with an expressionless face.“Okay,” replied James.He treated the wedding as if it were his own, meticulously overseeing every detail with perfection.Soon, the day before the wedding arrived.“James, leaving the wedding arrangements to you was the right decision. I’m very satisfied,” Sean said during the rehearsal, holding Wendy’s hand as they arrived late.“Wendy, you grew up with James, and this wedding dress is so heavy... Why d

Chapter 9

The wedding was warm and intimate.The officiant, Carl, stepped up to the couple at the host's invitation."I watched Wendy grow up since she was a child. Many years ago, I looked forward to attending her wedding, and today, that day has finally come," he said.Carl glanced at the smiling guests below, then suddenly shifted his tone."But what I didn’t expect was that when the wedding day came, the groom wouldn’t be him."Wendy’s smile froze. "Uncle Carl, you...""Before delivering my speech, I have another task to complete," said Carl, turning off the microphone and handing a document to her.The moment Wendy glanced at the document, her hand froze.It was a divorce agreement.Her heart was gripped by inexplicable panic, but she reassured herself. It had to be fake—James couldn’t possibly bring himself to divorce her.He loved her too much."Uncle Carl, James is just throwing a tantrum. Why are you joining him in this nonsense? This is a wedding, and he’s being so unreasona

Chapter 10

‘Memory erasure operation... forget you completely.’Those were the only words Wendy could hear.She stared at the divorce agreement, momentarily dazed.She was 28 years old this year.Out of those 28 years, she had spent 20 with James.They had grown up together. He was her family, her lover, someone entwined with her very being.In the dark days when her parents passed away one after another, in the turbulent times of her company’s crises…He had always been by her side.They had weathered so many storms together.How could he leave her?And now, he was going to forget her completely!Her trembling fingers reached out for the divorce agreement. He had left everything to her—his shares in the company, his assets, his properties. Everything about her. He didn’t want anything.Her hands shook as she pulled out her phone, dialing James’s number over and over, but the call never connected.“James, pick up. Stop joking around. Please, pick up… pick up the phone!”By the end,
