The reason why the Quest family had always looked down on me was my poor background.

To graduate from university, I worked part-time at Quest Villa as a caretaker, taking care of Sterling's seriously ill grandfather, Henry.

Henry was an antique enthusiast and a renowned archaeologist. Henry and I got along very well because our majors were related. He even wanted to adopt me as his goddaughter and cover all my university tuition fees.

Sterling had just been dumped by Winona at the time. He spent his days racing and drinking heavily, living a muddled life.

I originally had no contact with him because he did not often come home. Even though he and I were studying at the same university, he never knew me. He only went back to visit Henry during the holidays.

It was not until Winona got engaged abroad that he got dead drunk again. I got pregnant with Zac because of his drunken episode. Sterling was nearly beaten to death by Henry after that day.

My marriage to Sterling was also arranged before Henry's death. No matter how Sterling's mother resisted, it was useless.

I was secretly happy when I learned that I was going to marry Sterling. I had been secretly in love with him since I started university. However, Sterling and I slept in separate rooms after our marriage. We just slept together several times a month like it was a task.

Only when something happened with Winona would Sterling drunkenly break into my bedroom and want me passionately.

I got pregnant with our second child on the day of Winona's wedding, but she unexpectedly ran away that night.

At the wedding, she cried and said that her wilfulness had cost her the man she loved the most. She said she had come to her senses and had to return to find him. Thus, she flew back to the country.

When Sterling learned the news, he ran to the airport, ignoring me, who was bruised and battered in bed.

After Winona returned, she gradually took over my marriage and family until my husband and son became her most loyal fans.

The car came to a halt at the staff dormitory building of the museum.

I carried my suitcase upstairs and opened the single apartment that my boss, Alex Darmon, had reserved for me. Before I could even unpack, I received a call from Alex.

"Sienna, there's a mission from above. A large tomb has been discovered in the Patagonian Desert. They need urgent restoration of cultural relics. I booked a flight for tomorrow for you. Hurry up and pack your luggage! This mission is important. Don't worry, I'll go with you to apologize to Mr. Quest when you come back..."

"No need, Mr. Darmon. I'm planning to get divorced. I'll focus on the restoration of cultural relics from now on," I replied softly.

Sterling had never liked me devoting myself entirely to the restoration of cultural relics. He did not have any respect for the work and said that it would prevent me from concentrating on taking care of Zac. I cared about him and Zac, so I always rejected business trips that Alex arranged.

Only now did I understand that the only ones who would never betray me were those seemingly cold cultural relics in the museum.

When Alex heard me say that, he let out a sigh of relief, though his tone was tinged with regret. "Oh... Sienna, it's good that you've figured it out. You're brilliant. To be honest, we all think Sterling doesn't deserve you!"

A warm current flowed through my heart. Over the years, Alex had always treated me like his own daughter.

I smiled with relief. "Yeah, I think so too."

This night's sleep was the most peaceful one I had had in recent years. I did not need to prepare supper for Sterling, who got off work, nor tuck in Zac, who always had nightmares.

I slept till dawn. I washed up and dragged my luggage to the courthouse. However, Sterling did not show up after I waited for three hours. I called him more than a dozen times, but he never answered.

The boarding time was getting closer and closer, so I could only leave first.

After checking in, a gossip article popped up on the news interface before I turned off my phone.

[The president of Quest Group announces his investment in a movie based on the award-winning screenwriter, Ms. Winona White.]

[Childhood sweethearts are indeed invincible.]

'Is Sterling finally going to support Winona directly?' I thought as I sneered. I exited the news interface and switched off my phone.

Looking at the scenery outside the window getting smaller and smaller, I felt calm. No matter what happened to them, it had nothing to do with me.

Putting on the eye mask, I fell asleep until a violent turbulence woke me up.

The passengers around me were in a panic. I did not even have time to figure out what had happened. The next second, the plane suddenly lost altitude, and my head unexpectedly hit the luggage rack.

...

In the office of the president of Quest Group, Sterling had just finished the meeting specially held regarding Winona's script when he found more than a dozen calls from Sienna on his phone. He had set it to silent mode.

His business partner joked, "Mrs. Quest is still as clingy as ever. I envy you."

However, Sterling sneered, "She's asking for forgiveness. I have to ignore her so that she knows not to take advantage of others..."

He was interrupted by an unfamiliar call. "Hello, is this Mr. Quest, the husband of Ms. Sienna Summer? The flight that Ms. Summer took at 11:00 am unfortunately crashed due to a mechanical failure..."
