Chapter 1

"Mom, I've decided. I'm going home in seven days to marry Charles Shaw."

"What's wrong, daughter? Is Ethan Young treating you badly? Do you need your mother to help? The kid from the Shaw family has always been thinking about you. If he knows you've been wronged, he will definitely overthrow the Young family."

Sophia shook her head, hung up the phone, hid in the bathroom and frantically scratched her throat, trying to vomit out the wine mixed with medicine that she had just drunk.

Sophia hadn't heard those words with her own ears and hadn't felt her body's reaction, she wouldn't have believed that the man she had loved for five years would actually do such a thing to her .

——

Half an hour ago.

"Sophia, where's Ethan? Today is your 25th birthday, why is he leaving you here alone?" Her best friend Lucy came over, her tone filled with dissatisfaction, "When I was pursuing you, he was always clinging to you, but now, he's even late for your birthday."

At the birthday party, Sophia's fingers, clutching the champagne glass, turned slightly white.

and burning sensation in her body made her a little anxious and dizzy. She now eagerly wanted to find Ethan and remove the medicine that had taken her life.

That’s right, she took medicine.

Sophia forced a smile, her fingertips brushing against the warmth of the cup wall, but she felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart.

She remembered the glass of red wine that Ethan handed her, and said with a smile, "Baby,have a glass of red wine first, I'll go get the cake."

She didn't eat anything in the evening and only drank that glass of wine. Even now she was unwilling to doubt Ethan. She just felt that something was wrong, or that it was Ethan's new interest.

"I went upstairs to check, and he said the cake was in the lounge."

Sophia put down her wine glass and involuntarily walked to the second floor. The door of the private room at the end of the corridor was ajar, and the laughter from inside was like a needle, piercing her ears unexpectedly.

It was Ethan's voice, with a coldness she had never heard before: "Why are you in such a hurry? She still has some money left , enough for me to open a studio for Lillian and fill the company's holes. Once I get the money, I can ruin her reputation and kill two birds with one stone."

Sophia's footsteps suddenly stopped, and her blood seemed to freeze instantly.

"Ethan, you're awesome! Five years! You've acted so convincingly, I almost believe you really like Sophia." Another male voice sounded playfully, "Those private photos are so many . That waist, those legs, those poses . If we show them at the engagement party , won't she go crazy?"

"It's better if she goes crazy." Ethan sneered, his voice full of disdain. "Love at first sight was just an act. She foolishly came to me. If I don't use her, who else can I use? Once the video is released, she will be too embarrassed to face people. Wouldn't it be easy for her to hand over the money obediently? Then I can be with Lillian openly."

"Is that drug reliable? Let her drink it tonight, get a few men over, and then take a video. Release it on the day of the engagement . The effect will definitely be even more explosive. Let's see if she still has the nerve to pester Ethan."

" Ask Mr. Smith to come over too. He's been coveting Sophia for a long time. As long as we serve Mr. Smith well, we'll definitely get Lillian's project. Once Lillian's studio opens , won't Ethan immediately gain both fame and fortune and marry her?"

"Don't worry, the medicine David gave her will definitely make her unconscious ... "

" Congratulations in advance to Ethan and Lillian... "

Lillian, Ethan's adopted , actually has this kind of relationship with him in private?

Then came a cute female voice and a man's ambiguous voice.

Sophia couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly. The tinnitus in her ears surged like a tide, and she held onto the cold wall, barely able to keep from falling.

Five years ago, she escaped a marriage arranged by her family, concealed her identity as a little princess of the Beijing circle, and ran away from home to Hai City to relax. She was robbed at knifepoint by kidnappers, but it was Ethan who happened to save her. This clichéd hero-saving-beauty plot made Sophia fall in love with him, and the two of them naturally got together. So, was even their acquaintance planned?

The love she thought was all fake.

The money in her hands, her feelings, her five years of youth, and even the private photos he coaxed her into taking, all became his bargaining chips to pave the way for Lillian.

felt dizzy and suddenly remembered the glass of red wine .

No wonder her body started to heat up soon after drinking it, and her hands and feet gradually lost strength. She stumbled to the bathroom, the cold tiles against her palms. She held onto the toilet, her fingers digging into her throat, desperately trying to spit out the glass of drugged wine.

Stomach acid burned her throat, and tears mixed with the smell of vomit fell down. She looked at herself in the mirror with a pale face and empty eyes, and suddenly felt ridiculous .

She actually loved such a man for five years and was foolishly waiting for his "surprise proposal".

The effect of the medicine became stronger and stronger, the heat in the body wrapped around it like a vine, and consciousness began to blur.

She vaguely heard someone calling her name. Was it the man arranged by Ethan who came to arrest him?

Sophia tried to stand up by holding onto the sink, but her legs gave way and she fell heavily to the ground.

Just when she thought she was about to lose control completely, the bathroom door was flung open and a familiar figure rushed in, bending down and picking her up sideways.

The familiar scent of cedar enveloped her. Sophia raised her head in a daze and met a pair of anxious eyes.

It’s Charles.

, who had protected her since she was a child and whose mother said "always thought about her" , was also the husband she was about to marry .

Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, Sophia buried her head in his arms, and finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst out.
