Chapter 4

My family members were buried there.

I was dumbfounded. As I turned around, I saw Nancy's malicious smile.

My mind went blank and I raised my hand to slap her.

Nancy almost fell to the ground, but was held by Alex in time.

"Yolanda, are you crazy? Nancy is pregnant."

Alex pushed me to the ground with great force.

He asked me to apologize, but I couldn't hear his word.

I only cared about the cemetery under construction.

I ran to the construction site quickly.

The tombstones that were originally neatly arranged were all smashed to pieces.

The urns were also dug into pieces.

I stopped the workers, trying desperately to pick up the ashes from the soil with my hands.

But it was all in vain.

Alex came over and grabbed me. "Yolanda, what's wrong with you?"

I screamed, "Why? Why are you doing this?"

Nancy pretended to be surprised. "Yolanda, what are you doing? It's not your parents who are buried there. Why are you crying?"

I looked at her with red eyes, completely out of my mind. "You did all this, right?"

Nancy blinked her innocent eyes and hid behind Alex. "I don't understand what you are talking about. Alex, Yolanda is so scary."

Alex was furious. "Yolanda, stop messing around! Apologizing to Nancy!"

Apologize?

I didn't believe Nancy was innocent.

She poked her head out from behind Alex with a provocative expression.

She did it on purpose.

I couldn't figure out how I offended her.

I didn't want to know that.

With red eyes, I was only thinking about revenge.

I picked up a stone nearby and threw it at her.

Alex blocked it with his arm, but the stone still hit Nancy's forehead.

"Nancy!" Alex screamed.

Nancy fainted in his arms.

Alex picked her up and glanced back at me as he hurried away.

"Catch her! Yolanda, if anything happens to Nancy, I will make you pay the price!"

There was only a red mark left on Nancy's forehead, not even a scratch.

However, Alex locked me up in the basement.

The door was guarded by bodyguards.

No matter how I begged him, Alex refused to see me.

When water seeped into the basement, I realized it was raining outside.

But my family's ashes were still in the cemetery.

I thought, "Alex, why do you treat me like this?

I am your fiancée..."

It was dark here, and sometimes, the food delivery guy wouldn't come.

I didn't know how long I was locked up here.

No one paid attention to me.

Just when I gave up hope, Alex came here.

When the door opened, I saw him.

I thought I saw the light.

I begged him to let me out, but he laughed cruelly.

"You want to go out?"

Chapter 5

"Impossible! Do you know that you almost caused Nancy to have a miscarriage?

"If I let you go so easily, her suffering will be in vain."

I was stunned.

How was that possible? It was just a minor wound.

Nancy dug up my family's graves...

This little injury was nothing for her!

I loudly questioned, "Why did she dig the graves of my relatives?"

Alex frowned upon hearing this, and then he said contemptuously, "The grave of your relatives?"

He squatted down and lifted my chin.

His tone was cold. "Stop lying. I believed that your family members were sick and asked someone to send you medicine.

"But I didn't find any medical records of your family members."

My eyes widened. How could that be?

My whole family lived in the hospital under Alex's name.

He could definitely find it if he checked.

"That's impossible. There must be something wrong."

I thought of Nancy's evil smile and said, "It must be Nancy!"

Alex couldn't stand it anymore and slapped me.

I was slapped to the ground.

He stood up and looked down at me with indifference in his eyes.

"Yolanda, you are so vicious. Nancy pleaded for you as soon as she woke up, but you slandered her."

I looked at him in disbelief.

"I'm not lying. You can find it out if you check!"

Alex sneered.

He showed the photo on the phone to me.

It was a photo of my family on vacation.

In the photo, everyone looked energetic and healthy, not the lifeless look on the hospital bed.

I burst into tears.

When I was about to speak, Alex interrupted me, "Are you going to say this photo wasn't taken recently?"

I was about to nod. This photo was taken two years ago when my family went on vacation.

Alex sneered, "I asked someone to get the photo just now. Even now, you still want to lie to me."

I felt cold all over.

How was it possible...

Alex stood up and wiped his hand, which had touched me, with his handkerchief.

Throwing the handkerchief in my face, he said, "Reflect on yourself. When you are willing to admit your mistakes and apologize to Nancy, you can come out."

Ignoring my cries, he left.

I looked at the locked door blankly.

Why would it be like this?

Even though Alex didn't like me before, he was kind to me because my grandfather saved his grandfather's life.

When his grandfather arranged our engagement, he didn't object.

So I thought he cared about me a little in his heart.

However, I didn't expect that when Nancy was around, his little bit of concern for me would turn into bubbles.

I lay on the ground and closed my eyes in despair.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again, I saw Nancy.

Chapter 6

She looked as noble as a white swan, who didn't fit in with the filthy basement at all.

"It's stuffy here."

She covered her nose with her hands, feeling very disgusted.

A bodyguard immediately came over and brought a chair for her.

Then someone dragged me in front of her.

I looked at her coldly. "What are you doing here?"

She crossed her legs with a smile. "Of course, I am here to laugh at you."

I was puzzled. "I remember that I have never offended you."

Hearing my words, she looked like she heard a huge joke.

"You didn't offend me?"

She kicked me hard in the chest.

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have married Alex a long time ago. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone abroad, been humiliated by others, and pregnant.

"This is all because of you!"

I didn't understand what this had to do with me.

This marriage was arranged by Alex's grandfather.

Since they loved each other, why didn't Alex refuse his grandfather?

I thought he didn't refuse because he liked me, so I also agreed.

Was this my fault?

"I didn't force you to go abroad, to be humiliated, or to get pregnant. Why are you blaming me?"

Nancy slapped me twice, and her gentle face turned ferocious. "It's your fault. All this is because of you!

"I'll make you feel the pain I've gone through!"

After saying this, she returned to her usual calm and elegance.

She straightened her messy hair as if the person who was so arrogant just now was not her.

She stood up and said to the eight bodyguards present, "You've worked hard these days. I will give her to you as a reward."

I opened my eyes wide. "How dare you! I am Alex's fiancée!"
