I Married the Richest Man After Being Dumped

While I was dating Niel, he would always prioritize Cloud.

A memory in particular stood out: It was his twenty-fifth birthday.

I had gone shopping with my best friend for an entire day before picking out the best watch for him.

When I went to our date with the gift, I found Cloud with him.

Forcing a smile, I said, “Niel, didn’t we agree that we were going to be the only ones celebrating your birthday?”

Cloud immediately started crying. “Should I just go back, Niel?”

Even as she said that, she did not attempt to get up. She just kept crying.

Niel scowled at me. “I can have whoever I want celebrating my birthday! It’s none of your business! If you don’t like it, leave!”

I froze up and tightened my grip on the gift.

Although I saw the smugness in Cloud’s eyes through my peripheral vision, I could not do a thing about it.

I loved Niel too much and did not want to miss out on celebrating his birthday. So, I shamelessly sat down next to Cloud.

Niel and Cloud acted really affectionately with each other. It was as if they were the couple there.

They talked about the anime she loved, and I could not join in the conversation at all.

While Cloud drank her juice, I took out the gift I had prepared.

I then handed the watch to Niel. “Happy birthday.”

Before he could even look at it, she snatched it away. “Let me see!”

Not caring that it was for Niel, she put it on and started admiring it. “It looks so nice.”

“Have it, then,” Niel said coolly. He seemed completely unbothered.

I maintained my stiff smile and said, “That’s my gift for you.”

Niel just cast me a glance. “What about it? Cloud likes it, so let her have it. You’re about to become her sister-in-law. Are you saying you can’t even give up on a watch?”

…

“Yelena, I’m asking you a question! When did you become like this?”

Niel’s voice dragged me out of memory lane once again.

I thought that our connection ended after the engagement party. To think that the world would be so small…

I looked at him. “Neil, there’s nothing between us anymore. Mind your manners.”

Cloud held his hand in pity. “Calm down, Niel. I’ll make Yelena apologize to you!”

She must have lost her mind because she suddenly rushed over and shouted, “Apologize!”

She tried to grab my shirt, but I avoided her.

However, she was actually targeting the stroller. When my guard was down, she snatched it.

“Wah!” Michael immediately started crying.

I shoved her away and held my son as his cries made my heart hurt.

He grew up pampered and had never been mistreated this badly before.

“Ah!” Cloud cried out and fell to the ground.

I looked over with a scowl and saw that Niel was already checking on her “injured” knee.

There was not even a single scratch on it, but she was already crying.

Iris could not bear watching this any longer and mocked her, “Your cut healed up so quickly.”

Niel hurried over to me and yanked at my arm so harshly that I nearly fell over with Michael.

“Apologize to Yelena now!”

Just as I was about to yell right back, I heard a familiar voice.

“Who’s apologizing to who now?”

…

I turned and saw Saul walking over. Despite the scholarly air about him, it did not hide the ferocity in his eyes.

Behind him was a Lincoln limousine, and beside him were a dozen security guards in suits.

Before everyone’s gazes, Saul walked right up to me and hugged me.

With a fake smile, he looked at Niel and repeated, “Well? Who’s apologizing to who now?”
