Burned by Love, Destroyed by Revenge

"No, I hope you can help me keep it a secret from him."

"Mom, when I leave, you stay with Mr. Thomas and don't care what outsiders say."

I knew it was not easy for my mother to make up her mind to get married.

No matter what Gustav thought, my mother had never interfered in other people's relationships.

Being infamous should not be her fate.

When I returned to the bedroom, Gustav was already waiting on the bed.

Seeing me come in, he hurriedly pulled me into his arms.

His lips kept rubbing against the tip of my ear.

"Are you angry? You know, we can't make our relationship public. I'll arrange the wedding just as a cover up, just an act. So, don't think too much about it."

"Don't worry, Quinna, you are the only one in my heart. Don't get angry, okay? I've bought you a gift and I'll send it to you tomorrow. I'm sure you will like it."

I suppressed my grievances and nodded with a smile.

He didn't think much about it, breathed a sigh of relief and hugged me back.

After a moment of hesitation, he spoke up.

"It's just that the McNamaras' wedding can't be arranged casually and you, as my sister, may ...."

"Okay, I'll go."

I knew what he wanted to say.

Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative to bring it up.

At least leave a decent impression.

He was surprised by the change in my attitude.

But since his goal had been achieved, he was too lazy to delve deeper into it.

That night, he still slept in my bedroom.

The next morning, he slipped out of the room before anyone at home woke up.

As soon as he left, I followed him out.

Applied for a visa and submitted an application for studying abroad.

But I never expected to meet Jennifer there.

Gustav stood behind her, his eyes full of indulgence as he looked at her.

From time to time, I heard the discussion of employees around me.

"Is that Mr. McNamara's fiancée? She's so charming, isn't she? If I'm not mistaken, that bag she's wearing is a limited-edition Hermès product. You can't buy it even if you have money!"

"Of course they are. I heard that they have been in love since college and have been together ever since. They even bought a small island abroad for their honeymoon. I guess they are here to apply for a visa for a world tour, right?"

"What kind of novel plot is this? I'm so envious. If my boyfriend could be half as good as Mr. Gu, my life would be worth it ...."

While I was stunned, the employee who handled the formalities for me called.

"Ms. McNamara? Ms. McNamara? Your formalities have been completed."

Her calls caught Gustav's attention.

The moment I put the things into my bag, he appeared in front of me.

His expression carried a hint of imperceptible panic.

"Quinna? Why are you here?"

Jennifer also came from behind and took his arm affectionately.

"You're Gustav's sister, right? Hello."

"We will be a family soon, let's get to know each other in advance."

His eyes swept over the place where the two of them were in intimate contact.

I nodded with a smile.

"Hi."

"It's okay. I came here to get a visa for my mom. She has always wanted to travel abroad."

"You guys are busy, I won't bother you anymore."

I turned around and tried to leave.

However, he caught up with me and grabbed my arm.

He explained anxiously.

"Don't overthink it. It was Dad's idea to ask me to come here today. You know he values ​​the wedding, so he insisted that I take her on the trip."

"I have to let you know in advance that Jennifer will have dinner at home tonight. So, you don't misunderstand me."

Watching him worry about me, I suddenly felt like laughing.

To tell you the truth, Jennifer was his girlfriend whom he had been in love with for several years.

Now, his wedding was approaching and the drama of his revenge was coming to an end.
