I Withdrawn My Investment and Now He Really Regrets His Actions

I was the industry’s top agent and Daniel Brottier was the top actor. Everyone knew we were enemies.

I criticized him for having only looks and no acting skills. He then mocked me for chasing fame, saying I didn’t deserve the “top agent” title.

But they didn’t know we’d secretly hugged in dressing rooms, held hands in private and hidden our relationship for eight years.

On the day of the awards ceremony, he stood on stage, impeccably dressed in a suit. Meanwhile, I waited expectantly for him to announce our relationship.

But the moment our eyes met, he suddenly smiled and turned his gaze to the other woman beside me.

“My achievements today wouldn’t be possible without my beloved Emily by my side. In the future, I want to continue to protect her as her husband.”

The spotlight instantly shone on Emily Rodat. The diamond ring on her finger was precisely the same style as the one I found in Daniel’s drawer.

Staring at the scene of him kissing Emily, I pulled out my phone and made a call.

“Cancel all the resources allocated to Daniel right now!”

I fixed my gaze on Daniel’s back as he knelt on one knee.

A month ago, I found the diamond ring in his drawer.

I’d thought it was a surprise, but it turned out to be a “surprise” indeed!

“Felicia, are you sure? It is a live broadcast! You have to get back here!”

Ignoring the director’s shouts, I walked straight to Daniel and coldly held out my hand. “Give me back the diamond ring.”

Daniel lifted his eyes and indifferently said, “You are not worthy of this ring.”

His words mean that I wasn’t worthy of any claim. I clenched my fist so hard that my palm bled.

Eight years of a secret relationship, I thought we were passionately in love, hiding it from the world. But the truth was, I was in love, while Daniel was hiding it.

“Felicia, some things aren’t meant for you, so you can’t take them by force.”

Emily smiled sweetly. She knew precisely how to provoke me.

I flicked my hair with a smile and murmured, “Don’t be so sure of yourself. Didn’t you just snatch someone else’s husband?”

“You!”

Emily’s expression instantly changed. She was the real third wheel—hurt, so she lashed out.

“Felicia Seville,” Daniel called my name indifferently.

It was our silent agreement to avoid a fight. We could make a scene, but we had to respect each other’s dignity. But tonight, I didn’t care about dignity anymore.

“Ah! Felicia! What’s wrong with you?”

Emily screamed, clutching her hand and tears welling in her eyes.

“If you’re jealous of the diamond ring, go buy it yourself! Why did you steal mine? No wonder the media calls you a gold-digger!”

“I’m so sorry, Miss Rodat! Felicia drank too much tonight and isn’t thinking straight.”

“Felicia! Hurry up and return the diamond ring to Miss Rodat!”

The director rushed over, pressed my head down and whispered, “She’s the daughter of the Rodat Family! You can’t afford to provoke her.”

For me, a woman like her didn’t deserve to be called a daughter of Rodat Family.

I stared at the newly engraved initials inside the diamond ring and said calmly, “It’s mine. Why should I give it back?”

“Felicia, do you really think you can defy me today?”

The director was furious. His face turned a deep purple.

I ignored him and my gaze settled on Daniel. He stayed distant, as if none of this concerned him.

“Mr. Brottier, tell me, whose diamond ring is this?”

All eyes in the room turned to us. Daniel frowned. After all, I rarely bothered him with things like this.

“Felicia, you’re not short on money. If the young lady wants it, give it to her.”

I nodded calmly. “Okay, fine.”

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. I had never been one to let things go easily. We both knew that well.

“Sigh, Felicia, you made such a fuss, but in the end, it’s all back to its owner, isn’t it?”

Emily recovered from her shock and held out her hand to me. “I don’t mind, but Daniel’s PR is having a tough time! The last time you booked a hotel with Daniel, his PR team worked through the night to resolve the issue. “

“Felicia, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of this. If you just posted an apology and say it was just a misunderstanding, let’s end it here.”

Clang!

A sharp sound rang out as the diamond ring shattered into pieces. Emily’s triumphant voice stopped suddenly. Her eyes widened in disbelief:

“How dare you?”

I shook my hand and forced a smile. “You said it was a slip of the hand.”

Emily stomped her foot in anger. “Daniel, look at her!”

Daniel’s voice carried a hint of displeasure. “Felicia, what exactly are you trying to prove tonight?”

I looked into his distant eyes. Suddenly, I remembered his passionate kiss this morning before I left.

His fans praised his acting skills. I agreed that Daniel was a talented actor.

Suddenly finding it all pointless, I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist. Daniel’s expression turned serious at me.

“Apologize to the young lady.”
