Everyone was eager and planned for Blake and Liam's wedding to be held next week. Blake did not plan for a big wedding or public announcement but invited some close family from both sides to get together for a meal.After sorting out the wedding details and finishing dinner, Blake's parents' eyes could not hide their fondness for Liam on their way home.'At first, the blind date was set up by my parents, so the people they picked were naturally good matches. Except for Aunt, no one else knows about my relationship with Kevin.'Grace noticed something off with Blake. She took Blake's hand and said, "Blake, I think Liam's great for you. Just like with your uncle and me, we had an arranged marriage. At first, I wasn't really into him. However, your uncle was consistently kind to me as we spent time together."As time passed, I found it's just how life is. For a woman, having a man who thinks about you in every way and loves you is already perfect. Look at Liam. He's handsome, well-off

"L–Liam..." Ixia said.She desperately reached out to grab Liam's hand. But before she could touch him, he walked away.Julian was furious when he saw that. He raised his hand and slapped Ixia hard across her face. "Look at what you've done.""You hit me! How dare you hit me?! What right do you have to hit me? I was always polite to you. You're only my dad because my mom likes you. Otherwise, you're nothing. Even my real dad never hit me like this!"This is my home, not yours. Get out!"Julian's gaze turned fierce instantly. "Try saying it one more time.""I just said it, so what?! You're only interested in my family's money; that's why you married my mom. You wouldn't even be in this family without her. You abandoned your wife and son just to get into my family.""Shut up!" Ixia's words hurt Julian deeply. He looked menacing as he lifted his hand and slapped her again, putting almost all his strength into it.Ixia fell to the ground from the slap. A clear handprint could be se

The deafening music pierced through Blake's eardrums as she downed drink after drink. Eventually, the last drink left her somewhat intoxicated. Everything felt surreal when she looked at the colorful lights.Janice hurriedly took the drink from Blake's hand. "Stop drinking. You've drank a lot. If you keep drinking, your body won't be able to handle it. It's already late; I should take you home now."Blake pushed Janice's hands away and drunkenly babbled, "I–I don't want to go back. I have to marry Liam when I go back. I don't want to get married. I want to wait for Kevin to come back. He slept with me and promised to take responsibility!"Janice's eyes widened as if she had just heard some earth-shattering news. "W–What did you say?! You slept with Mr. Harrison? I knew you were more than just friends with him. I even asked back then why he always looked toward our direction."Confused, she asked, "If you like Mr. Harrison, why are you marrying Mr. Xander? Blake, what happened after

Kevin said, "Don't tell Blake I'm back."Janice looked at the woman beside the black car. She thought the woman looked familiar like she had seen her somewhere before. "Mr. Harrison, are you planning to return to the company?"Kevin responded, "I have my plans. Just mind your own business."After Kevin left, Janice watched as he hugged the woman and got into the car. She pondered, 'Mr. Harrison is back, but Blake is going to marry Mr. Xander. And now, Mr. Harrison has someone he likes. If Blake knows about this, she'll surely be devastated.'As Blake was carried away by Liam, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She frowned. "It hurts. My stomach hurts so much."Liam was rushing to the hospital. Thankfully, they arrived in time, or else the consequences would be dire.Blake's private part was bleeding as she was taken to the operating table. An hour later, she was finally transferred to a regular ward, still unconscious. The doctor scolded Liam, "How can you, as her hus

Liam said, "I know you don't want to see me. I'm just worried about you being here alone. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave."Blake covered her eyes with her hands. They were slightly red from crying. Her tone carried restrained emotions as she replied, "Liam, I'm sorry. I thought we were just feigning our relationship. I never imagined there'd be anything between us."Blake knew these words were hurtful, but she still decided to say it.Liam calmly responded, "Blake, the one who should apologize is me. Last night, you mistook me for him. I couldn't control myself. I'm sorry."As I've said before, if you want a divorce, I'll let you go anytime. This statement will always hold truth. When you calm down and decide that you still can't accept what happened, I'm willing to cancel the wedding and divorce you."He then left.However, he was still very worried. In the car, he called Janice.Janice was very surprised to receive a call from Liam. Just before the call ended, she hes
