Chester's indifferent voice rang out from the receiver. "What does she have to do with me getting into a traffic accident? Did she contribute to it?"

Carl paused for a moment before continuing hurriedly, "Yes, that's right! You were blessed with luck, Mr. Ford, but Yuna certainly also—"

Chester asked with extreme impatience, "So, you want money?"

Carl's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's right! We can't have the funding for Luna's medical expenses cut off, after all."

Before he'd finished speaking, a gentle female voice could be heard from the other end. "It's Ms. Sutherland who behaved insensibly, Chester. There's no need to implicate her family members, is there?"

"Between the two of us, you're the kinder one," Chester said to her.

He then sneered and said to Carl, "If you want me to continue forking out money, then tell Yuna to crawl back to me and beg for my forgiveness."

Carl hung up and said furiously, "I've beaten you up this badly, yet he doesn't even care! You really saved him for nothing in that accident back then!

"I don't care how you do it, but you have to get some money from him! I owe a lot of money, and I'm still waiting to get the money to make a comeback! If you don't bring the money, I really will kill you!"

I numbly swept up the ashes on the floor and placed them back in the urn. Then, I silently left the house with the urn in my arms.

I had fallen in love with Chester in college. He'd hidden his identity back then, so I thought he was just an ordinary person. We dated each other like ordinary people and planned out our future together.

My father was constantly in debt, so he set his sights on Luna, who was still studying in college back then.

He cajoled Luna into interning at Ford Group, telling her that she'd be able to receive a generous salary there.

In truth, he wanted to give her to the acting president of Ford Group back then, Jeff Ford, who also happened to be Chester's father.

I realized that something was fishy and tried to stop Carl, but he scolded me for being selfish.

Luna, who was innocent and naive, really ended up joining Ford Group.

In the end, she fell from the top floor of the Ford Group building that same day. From then on, she remained in a vegetative state, and we needed to pay expensive fees to keep her alive.

I'd lost my mother when I was young, and Carl refused to fork out a single penny. He even threatened me to break up with Chester.

He told me that if I didn't marry a rich man, he would have to sign the agreement to refuse treatment for Luna.

In the end, I compromised.

I had no choice but to harden my heart and push Chester away, saying harsh words to him.

We broke up, and after that, I started going on blind dates frequently.

Chester later caught me while I was on one of my blind dates. He sneered and dragged me over to a Lamborghini before declaring, "You just want money, don't you, Yuna? Well, I have no shortage of money!"

He started speeding along the roads like a madman with me in the car. In the end, he failed to brake in time and ended up getting into a traffic accident.

I had to carry him on my back along a winding mountain road for miles. I passed out as soon as I arrived at the entrance of a hospital.

After I regained consciousness, Carl realized that Chester was an honest-to-goodness rich young heir.

He then plotted to drug both me and Chester with aphrodisiacs, so he could force Chester to marry me.

In my opinion, it was understandable that Chester had hated me for so many years.

After all, I'd turned him away in favor of money, yet I just had to get tangled up with him again.

Therefore, I didn't blame him any longer, and I had decided to leave everything in the past.

Not long afterward, Eustace sent me a photo.

The young lady in the photo was smiling sweetly in Chester's arms. I could see a shadow of my younger self in her features.

After staring at the photo for a long time, I replied with a simple, "Congratulations."

Chester once brought countless women to attend our anniversary banquets. Those women were all nothing more than tools for him to vent his frustrations.

This young lady, whose name was Courtney Zeller, was the only exception. He would accompany her to the movies and take cute photos with her, just like we used to back in college.

If my departure would allow Chester to attain his own happiness, then the divorce would be a good thing for both of us.

I applied for a certification to study abroad. While still in the country, I helped out my best friend, Vivi Jarvis, at her bar to earn some extra money.

One day, I ran into Courtney.

One of Chester's friends introduced me. "This is Chester's wife, Yuna Sutherland. Don't you think you two look a little similar?"

Courtney pursed her lips in displeasure. She rolled her eyes at me before walking directly toward me.

"My name is Courtney Zeller. You're Ms. Sutherland, right?"

She smiled sweetly at me, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. "How strange. Why would Ches be with an old hag like you? They all say that I look like you, but I don't think so. There's no way I'm as old and ugly as you. You should wise up and divorce Ches as soon as possible."

I nodded. "Then you should persuade him to divorce me as soon as possible and marry you instead."

My words seemed to set her off, as her expression suddenly twisted. "The one who isn't loved is the mistress! So what if you're hogging the identity of Mrs. Ford? You're actually the other woman here!"

I was about to say something else when Courtney looked behind me.

She suddenly grabbed my arm, smashing a wine glass as she did so. Her palm was instantly covered in blood.

Chester rushed over at the sound of breaking glass and held her protectively in his arms.

Courtney sobbed heavily while cradling her injured wrist. "Please don't be angry, Ms. Sutherland! I shouldn't have coveted Ches… You were right to call me a homewrecker!"

She continued to sob as she burrowed deeper into Chester's embrace.

Chester glared fiercely at me. "You've gone too far, Yuna. You want a divorce, fine. But you now even dare to hurt my friend?!"

He hugged Courtney with a distressed expression on his face, then walked up to me.

"Tomorrow is the payment deadline for your sister's medical expenses," he said coldly. "If you don't want her to be kicked out of the hospital, then you must first apologize sincerely to Courtney! After that's done, you also have to beg for my forgiveness!"

I laughed as I watched him leave.

I was suddenly very curious.

If I didn't show up to apologize to him tomorrow, what sort of expression would he make?

The next day, I constantly received WhatsApp messages from Chester, starting from early in the morning.

"I invited all my friends today. Have you prepared your apology?"

"As long as your attitude is sincere, I'll give you another chance. You can still be Mrs. Ford, and I'll also continue to fund your sister's future treatment."

"See you at the Ford residence at 7:00 pm."

Night fell, and the Ford residence was packed with people even before 7:00 pm rolled around.

Everyone was here to see me make a fool of myself.

The guests were all speculating wildly.

"Guess what excuse she's going to come up with to gain Mr. Ford's forgiveness this time?"

"Why not just divorce her this time, Mr. Ford? It's not worth keeping that gold digger around. She's nowhere near as sensible as Courtney!"

Courtney gazed affectionately at Chester from the side.

Chester, on the other hand, was staring intently at his watch.

I was actually late.

He sent me another WhatsApp message. "Where are you right now? You're already late. I'm giving you half an hour more to show up!"

When he sent the message, the application displayed that his message had failed to send. There was a red exclamation mark next to his message.

I had blocked his number.

Chester's good friend, Michael Gunn, couldn't resist teasing him. "There's no way Yuna is serious about it this time, is there? Has she really made up her mind to divorce you?"

Chester frowned and replied, "That's impossible. Yuna values her younger sister's life more than her own, so she can't leave me."

Just then, Michael's new girlfriend—Caitlyn Reece—couldn't help speaking up. "Could you guys be talking about Luna Sutherland from Ward 102 in Jeldon Hospital? So, that was actually Yuna's younger sister. She already passed away several months ago, though…"
